Such was the result of that power of
proposing and enacting laws which
both the Senate and the People thbught
itself entitled. Such would much ear- j
licr have been the result, had not the
state been almost constantly involved in
foreign wars. Thus it happened that i
laws, which, in any manner, affected
the individual interests of the two or
ders, could never be passed but by col
lusion or violence. The Agrarian law, j
proposed in the early times of the re- ]
pubiick, urged and reurged by almost
every tribune who wished to conciliate |

RLPRESE//TATIQJV.
Th® aristocratical and democratical
systems not unfrequcntly existed to
gether in the same state} this was the
case in some periods of the Roman
Government. But the result was a fu
rious and distracting warfare between I
the patricians and plebeians, lighted by
the slightest collision, flashing mutual
lire, and bursting forth, on every new
occasion, with a violence that threaten
ed the commonwealth with total confla
gration. The Senate had superiour
wisdom; the People, superiour force.
That force, roused and exercised by '
hardy leaders, continually gained ground I
and tone. It rose, at length, to mad
ness. The temple of Concord stood |
empty; its altars desolate. The Forum
and the 1- ield of Mars raved with con- |
Aiding crowds. The Publick voice is
lost amidst the vociferations of Passion.
Daggers leap from the cloaks of shout
ing citizens, from the gowns of bearded I
Senators, from the. white robes of an
cient Priests. Liberty, neglected, for- I
gotten, and trampled, perishes in the
impious conflict. A Sylla, or g Csesar
mounts aloft and stills the storm: but '
stills it with copious libations of blood; !
and the silence which ensues is that
deep and awful one which a near pros
pect of the grave imposes. I

The ancients were ignorant of renre.
sentaUve legislation. The people ex, ‘
efci.ed their jjowdr in their own per.
sons, or not at all. To use the word. «
ot an elegant commentator upon the'
English Constitution, “theymade their
liberty consist in their power.” And
accordingly, every deputation of power
would, in their view, be so much sue- i
render of liberty. Conscious of the
•way which Passion held over most of • .
their resolves, they could not imagine
that a body of men Chosen from amongst
themselves would be thereby rendered
more free from its influence: and the
fear of committing themselves to a new
and violent Aristoracy, joined with a
ove of that nominal importance Which
seemed to arise from the personal txr
eruon of th.tr privilege., prevented O
hem from adopting the only method
that could render Liberty a lasting, or *
a real, blessing. *
The advantages of a well constWed
representation, over a popular, assem
bly, are discovered in the opportunity
and force given to our best principles, !
and the restraint imposed* upon our
worst. J» the bosom of the ropresen- *“
tative legislator, Patriotism is invigo
rated by the consideration that the eye.
of men are regarding him as tXe com
missioned protector of his country.
Personal independence is sustained by ‘ (
the recollection that he, as well as those ’
who sit with him, has been selected by ' ’
the confidence of the people. The '
habit of considering himself a deputed '
legislator leads him to investigate the
principles of general policy. Abstrac
tion from all other business, during the ’, 1 <
•ession of his House, affords him op
portunity to examine, with circumspec
tion, every rising question. Remem
enng the high and conspicuous stage
on which he acts, his love pf honest
fame is redoubled by the certain assu
rance that, by integrity,- it can he ac
quired. The same conspicuity of bi.
station, together with the responsibility
and chance of forfeiture attached to his
office, have their influence to restrain '
him from corruption. If, notwithstand- -
mg all these circumstances, the people
find him unprofitable or dangerous, they - -
hold m their own hands both the pre
ventive and the remedy.
Such ere the advantages resulting I
from a representative when weU
constituted: but in propdrtion to these
sdvantages will be its evils, if
abused defe<?tive ’ or iu P ri vileges
In th. principle of M.pre.entoiofr.
then,consist. the .nperiorlty of modern ' i
tree governments over those so culled
by antiquity. It is not too much to say
that, as it was this principle which laid
true liberty open to the view, so it is
the only one which, if unperverted, will * (
■ render that liberty secure and perma
nent. It is the mariner's compass, ’
which, unknown to the ancients, has,
conducted the men of modern time, to
lands of the political world where beau
ty long hidden unfolds its luxuriance • ’
I where thejiallowid shrine of Liberty . WW
, stand, supported by the green and
i vigorous prop, of national prosperity,
