===Constitutional Convention===
===Constitutional Convention===
The convention that formed the federal constitution was therefore hailed with joy by Mr. Clymer, who was one of its members. Other members of the Pennsylvania delegation to the Convention were [[Thomas Fitzsimons]], [[Benjamin Franklin]], [[Jared Ingersoll]], [[Thomas Mifflin]], [[Gouverneur Morris]], [[Robert Morris]], and [[James Wilson]]. The result of the labours of that body was fraught with deeper interest than the war struggle for victory over a foreign foe. It involved the fate of our infant republic, which was then veringon dissolution and fast retrograding towards the awful gulf of primeval chaos. The conflict was between members of the same family, and required the deepest sagacity, the profoundest wisdom, the most acute judgment, the most disinterested patriotism, the most exalted charity, and the purest spirit of conciliation, to bring it to a peaceful and satisfactory termination. Happily for our country this was done, and Mr. Clymer contributed his full share in the accomplishment of the glorious work.
