{"value"=>"He is here on a committee of Congress, soliciting the Legislature on the subject of revenue; the temper of the times and the systems of many of the states are unfavorable to the honest views of the United States; the delegates from New York to the Annapolis Convention passed through this morning on their way home; only five states were represented, and the powers of the delegates were very unequal; they recommended that a convention be held at Philadelphia in May for a general revision of the Confederation; the friends of a good federal government had hoped much, and the result is painful to them."}
