Livingston had been, in the state convention which adopted the Constitution, one of its most splendid and efficient supporters, he and his connexions anticipated his appointment to some exalted station; but that, while he was passed by unnoticed, his colleagues in that body, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, had both received distinguished appointments the one as Chief Justice of the United States, and the other as Secretary of the Treasury.
While these exertions were successfully making to give increased force, and a wider extent, to opinions which might subvert the system adopted by the executive, Mr. Jay, the chief justice of the United States, and Mr. King, a senator representing the state, arrived in New York from Philadelphia.

He had got out of the habit of answering. "It's about Jay," continued Kew.

The Blue Jay flew to do this joyful errand, and soon came dozens of chattering, noisy wildwood children to the party.
