He got a lot right...........................

     On October 10, Rush spoke to promote his candidacy as a delegate pledged to support the Constitution and the ratification process.   He spoke in a style that the next day's newspaper called "elegant and pathetic (meant as a compliment, in the sense of evoking pathos) about all the "advantages which would flow from the adoption of the new system, of federal government."  He highlighted the "advancement of commerce, agriculture, manufactures, arts and sciences, the encouragement of immigration, the abolition of paper money, the annihilation of party, and the prevention of war" having been "ingeniously considered" in the document, and argued that ratification was crucial.
     Rush ended his remarks with a dramatic flourish.  "Where this the last moment of my existence," he proclaimed, "my dying request and injunction to my fellow citizens would be to accept and support the offered Constitution."
