Their organization was not indeed so perfect as it afterwards became; but they had already begun to look for guidance to a small knot of distinguished men, which was long afterwards widely known by the name of the junto. There is, perhaps, no parallel in history, ancient or modern, to the authority exercised by this council, during twenty troubled years, over the Whig body.
But, finally, a strip of brick pavement having been laid down the middle of Jersey Market, he succeeded in getting the street leading thereto paved. "Now I have a project to enlist citizens in paving all the streets," he said at the Junto.
In the earliest beginnings of the determinate plan to wrest the Trans-Western out of the grasp of the junto he had known that it must come finally to some desperate duel with the master-spirit of the ringsters. Was Jasper Bucks behind those lighted windows alone? Kent had not meant to make the open attack until he should have a weapon in his hands which would arm him to win.
This was as clear a case of nullification as that of South Carolina in 1832. Connecticut was as hot-headed as Massachusetts. John Quincy Adams has stated that at that time the "Essex Junto" agreed upon a New England convention to consider the expediency of secession.
He had founded and been the life of the Junto Club the most sensible and beneficent club of which I ever heard. The series of questions asked at every meeting of the Junto, so mirror the life and habit of thought of Franklin that we had better glance at a few of them: 1.

I assure you I am under painful apprehensions from the single circumstance of Mr.
"I told M'Tosh to give the mail orders to make up her lost time or I'd fire the engineer told him to cut out all the stops this side of Agua Caliente!" "That's what you get for your infernal meddling!" snapped Halkett. In catastrophic moments many barriers go down; deference to superior officers among the earliest. But the master spirit of the junto was still cool and collected.
Not a member of that board, that I conversed with, but expressed the highest detestation of the perverted principles and conduct of the Quaker junto, and a wish that the board would take the matter up; notwithstanding which, it was suffered to pass away unnoticed, to the encouragement of new acts of treason, the general danger of the cause, and the disgrace of the state.
"How may smoky chimneys be best cured?" "Which is least criminal, a bad action joined with a good intention, or a good action with a bad intention?" There have been improvements in almost everything in modern times, but we doubt if there has been much improvement upon the "JUNTO" in literary organizations for the young.
