Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ohio Valley Press Before the War of 1812-15 The Gazette did not neglect its more serious business of inclining the minds of its subscribers, in a region naturally anti-federalist, to favor Federalist doctrines, although the methods adopted were less demonstrative than those of our day. During its early issues, the new federal consti tution was formulated at Philadelphia, and soon was being discussed throughout the length and breadth of the nation. On February 17, 1787 we find in the columns of our journal, notice of a call for a convention of delegates for devising, deliberating on, and discussing such alteration as may be necessary to render the federal constitution fully equal to the exigencies of the union. Later, the constitution itself is printed, with such commentaries as Wilson's speech on the Principles of the Federal Constitution. On November 9 of the same year there is announced a local meeting for the purpose of taking the sense of this town with respect to the system of Confederate government proposed bv the late Convention at Philadelphia. Gen. John Gibson occupied the chair, and a series of resolutions was adopted to the effect that there being no reason to expect anything better or that anything more equal could be formed, Resolved that it is our ardent wish and hope that this system may speedily be adopted. Although unwaveringly Federalist, the Gazette liberally opened its columns to political adversaries. Henry H.
