Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Defence of the Legislature of Massachusetts: Or the Rights of Newengland Vindicated These general considerations merit the attention of all, who are really attached to the federal Constitution, and to the tran quillity of the country. No injury can arise from an attempt. To preserve the balance of power among the states and while New England submits to the constituted authorities, and cheer fully supplies ah immense revenue for the benefit of the south, let us endeavour, at least to be fairly represented.
