Excerpt from Representative Democracy in the United States: An Address Delivered Before the Senate of Union College, on the 26th July, 1841
On the 4th day of July, 1754, at a place not far distant from that in which we are assembled, a document received the signatures of commissioners representing the colonies of Massachusetts, New-Hampshire, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New-York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. It expressed the results of a conference, held in pursuance of royal authority, for the purpose of concerting measures to protect and defend the Anglo-American Colonies against present encroachments of the French, and expected hostilities from them and the Indians under their control.
A man of plain exterior and simple manners, not yet fifty years of age, is acknowledged and looked to by the members of this council (the gravest which has ever assembled in the colonies) as the master spirit of the body.
