Caleb Strong

One power had been our mother country and the other our effective ally in the war for independence, and two parties sprang up in America, one French and the other English.

War with England was regarded as probable when George Cabot and Caleb Strong, senators from Massachusetts, Oliver Ellsworth, senator from Connecticut, and Rufus King, senator from New York, headed a successful movement for procuring a special mission to England.

They acted together and constituted a clique which shaped the policy of the Federalists in the Senate.

All except Ellsworth were Massachusetts men, for King was born there and had not moved to New York until 1788.

Madison thought that King and Ellsworth meant to warn Taylor that disunion was likely to follow a continuance of the policy of the anti-Federalists, and Taylor thought a disunion plot was being actually hatched.

Madison was probably right, but it is impossible to escape the conclusion that King and Ellsworth were at this time seriously thinking of the desirability of breaking up the Union.

They were then in close political cooperation with two men who, a few years later, stood in the front line of the disunion forces, George Cabot of the Essex Junto, chairman of the Hartford Convention in 1814, and Caleb Strong, who, as governor of Massachusetts in 1812, resisted the order of the president calling Massachusetts troop into the field in time of war.

Fortunately, the guiding force in the administration of the government was not in the hands of Taylor's party of unbending conservatives, nor with the intolerant Federalists, but with men who followed neither and were able to check both.

The tavern he found was keeping an elegant style, and a whole company of delegates lodged together living, as he put it, by themselves in their own hall.

He learned that two of the lodgers were Massachusetts men and sent word in to Caleb Strong, and the members came out of their private hall to meet him after their supper.

And the same evening, Elbridge Jerry walked him to the market street, up a courtyard off the street garden.

We found him in the garden sitting upon the grass plat under a very large mulberry with several other gentlemen and two or three ladies.

No patching, no half measures.

On Monday, May 28th, more delegates took their seats, among them, at last, Dr. Franklin himself, along with Nathaniel Gorham and Caleb Strong of Massachusetts, Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut, Gunning Bedford of Delaware, and James McHenry of Maryland.

George Reith delivered his committee report, and the convention spent the day on its own rules.

Most of them were the ordinary apparatus of a deliberative body, and they set the manners of the room.
