Charles A. Conant Quotes

In A Letter To Gouverneur Morris (February 27, 1802), He Drops Into The Following Gloomy Forebodings: -

"Mine Is An Odd Destiny. Perhaps No Man In The United States Has Sacrificed Or Done More For The Present Constitution Than Myself; And, Contrary To All My Anticipations Of Its Fate, As You Know, From The Very Beginning, I Am Still Laboring To Prop The Frail And Worthless Fabric. Yet I Have The Murmurs Of Its Friends No Less Than The Curses Of Its Foes For My Reward. What Can I Do Better Than Withdraw From The Scene? Every Day Proves To Me More And More That This American World Was Not Made For Me.
