{"value"=>"The convention voted the day before to ratify the constitution by a majority of ten; the minority very respectable; Mr[Patrick] H[enry] had given exemplary proofs of his greatness and virtue; had himself heard some of his touches of eloquence which would disgrace Cicero or Demosthenes; Matthews was chosen Speaker of the House, John Jones of the Senate; no rejoicing over vote of ratification, the federalists behave with moderation and do not exult in their success."}
