T mb expectation of many that this im
portant subject would be,investigated with
great rapidity iyas unreasonable in the ex
treme. At least it ought, not to have been
entertained, except by ihoee who had m
more perfect knowledge of the subject, and
had assumed a great er rctfionnbiltty in 1
lation to it, than the writer of these letters.'
Whenever an individual is placed it*
such a sitnation as to render it probably
that the information which be may have it
in his power to communicate, or the argu-.
ments which he may be able to urge, will
be attended with at least some small de
gree of Influence upon the publick mind,
it is beyond all doubt his interest, and it
would seem to be his duly, to convince the
publick that the course he is pursuing re
sults from no sinister Views, but b dictated
by purity of principle.. Mankind are «t all
times sufficiently jealous of those wpo pro
fess to be able to enlighten them. Indivi
duals may acknoirledge them.selves in thp
dark, but the publick will never descend
to p confession so humiliating. The pub
lick mind, ip the estimation of the mass of
individuals who continue “ The PqbUcfc,**
. is always luminous as well as cpmprehen-
I siv}. Pretensions to an extraordinary por
tion of the spirit of patriotism, are, also,
and Justly too, suspicious and suspected—
In g republican government, however, all
have equal rights, and it is no less a right
than a duty to communicate to others inform
malion which may fyave been obtained by
an individual under circumb'aoces of a.pe
culiar character. When the information
communicated tends to criminate those
with whom Ute aythour has been political
ly associated: when it reproaches those ft
whose policy he has himself been devoted ;
when it details his pwn political expe
riences and convictions; when it vindicate}
a few from a great party fronj
|h« charge of having abandoned, their.
connexions from improper impurq
views ; and when it, rends the from
successful hypocrisy, a?d meq
hitherto venera|e<| foy patriotism in the
odious cqlpurs of Reception, and yilfaiayf
the course of argument which shall, b*
adopted to prove fae ppyjty of. heart,
which ail thia is done, cannot be made too
clepr and conclusive.
Thopoweraof the human mind, howeves
boundless in the aggregate, are extremely
limited in every individual, except the few# ,
the very few, upon whom the. Sun of Genius
has darted, its most vivifying beams. A
man may fancy that he is conveying hie
ideas to others with great clearness. When
those to whom he is addressing himself
may regard him, if lh«,cxpres«jo(i be a pro
per ope, a} the very paragon of dullness—
The, Publick, also, haaifa jaomeutpof uo
easiness,m, well as satisfaction, of gloom U
Well as gaiety. It sometimes indulges withu
out reason, and sometimes censures with
fajumic?., Jt.,b .pom?times satisfied, with
much less than. it ought ,fa require, a»4
sometimes demands much more than it ha*
a right to expect ;r
Wien in power can gitf no better evi
dence of, th«4r integrity than the cool atul
inflexible pursuit of. a course which tend*
to deprive them of power. Men i* the fall
possession of popularity cannot more clean
ly cvinpe purity of motive than by the sup-,
port of measures which destroy that papa-,
larity.. And yet this course may be takem
from eccentricity, from disapoinfamut, from
desperation. J# Thy mass of mankind* how*
ever, are in general candid enough to judge
by geneiwl rules. When a man acta against
hit own interest in a particular point, and*
acts honourably nod sensibly* fa* bb general
conduct, it will he believed that he is an
honest roan rather knave or a fuofe
To fall no more.
