Application of the Assembly to Congress for a convention of deputies from the several states, to be called as soon as possible, for the purpose of amending the Constitution; the ratification of New York was given in full confidence of obtaining a revision; nothing but such confidence, and a reluctance to separate from their sister states, could have prevailed on a majority of the State Convention to give their assent.
