Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of the Constitutional Convention of the State of Michigan: Begun in the Capitol, at Lansing, May 15, A. D. 1867
Mr. President, I value this Manual highly for other reasons. I value it for the cherished memories it revives of the past - memories of noble men who stood shoulder to should er with me upon this oor, day after day, contending for the adoption of controverted principles in the Constitution, some of which were successfully urged, and I trust they will hold a place in all future Constitutions, as monuments of their fidelity and devotion to the right. Some of those men, though much my juniors, have long since paid the debt of nature, and preceded me to the eternal world. I hold, Mr. President, that this strangely maligned Constitution of ours, which has drawn forth so many maledictions from various sources, has still some redeeming features, some salient points, which will stand forth in all the future as oases to keep green the memory of their originators.
