REFIE IN GF
JEFFERSOA 's ADMINISTRATION.
' No.XII
THE evils of the afts of government,
winch we have corfi iered, are per
, naps limited in their operation. They
tray probably be repaired by successive
rulers, under the direction of wildom
fl|nd virtue. The effects of the repeal of
the judiciary firitem mutt howev^ribe ex
:^'^d^Though any future adminiftra-
I'hfo#?jL° r ^^^ it a violation of the
, or roe national compact
wicked men, conlidering it a fortunate
precedent for flill greater encroachments
on this main pillar of the constitution,
1 will cede to tiemble at that firm lure and
decisive jpftice, which deters from machi
nations hgainft the peace and lafety of|
the Stafe. Ihe conicquence of the
measure, we are about to notice, are not
ot a fleeting and temporary nature. They
are constantly corrupting the healthful
justice ofthe political body, and mutt ul
jumatly cause its dcffohulon. The in
dilcrimidate naturalizing of foreigners is
the preparation of materials for an explo
sion, which wit! fluke the Constitution,
the edifice of federal wisdom, into
a heap of unfightlv ruins.
Weihall show, what must be the char
ader of aliens,- according to cftbalrihed
principles which regulate human conduct,
and afterwards ascertain the truth of it by
a companion with facts ; that such men
are not necessary to improveand advance
lour1 our manufactures ; that they cannot he
truQed by the country in time of danger \
and that they will finally cause its de
ftru&ion.
j o The author of our nature has wifely
implanted io the human breast a princi
pal of attachment to the country, were
exigence firft commenced. Seldom can
it be erachcateL Though the 'commtf-°
lion of crimes may force a man from his
I native shore to wander in other climes f
yet, as toon as the'law forgets its severity
and offers mercy, he is willing to fly to
the bosom of his country, banish the re
membrance of the indignities he may have
fuffered, and again embrace her as his
I deareft friend. Hence banishment is re-
I coned as a severe punishment from a be
lief of the indeftruCtibihty of this attach
ment ; that it will recal to memory the
pleasing recollection of the feenes of child
hood and innocences when life was un;
stained by vice. To contrast the situa
tions where a person was surrounded by
his friends,now rejected from the State as
dangerous to its peace, one enjoying the
plealures of social connexions, now afol
itary wanderer ; excites the most poig
nant reflections, and makes many prefer
death to banishment. The conduct of
Coriolanus illustrates the Strength or at
tachment to country. Having exper
ienced the highest injustice from hi^ coun
trymen, and made himfelf the leader of
a foreign army, to avenge his injuries in
the deftruft on of his native city ; yet, at
the interce dion of his friends, he relented
though with the profpeCt of filtering as
a traitor by thole, whole confidence he
had acquired. It this attachment then
be thus Strong, what must be ihe char
acter of thole, who art ableto deftoy it ?
It is true, desire of property, or tyranny
may lead to distant climes ; but few ex
cept thole, whose characters are abandon
ed, whose conduct is Stamped with infa
my, whose lives are forfeited by the sen
tence of a righteous law, whose moral
principles are annihilated, and whose
minds revolt not at the perpetration of
horrid deeds, will relinquish the foil of
their birth, with an.expectation and de
sire of returning no more. There may
be exceptions, but they are few, when
compared with that mass of vice, corrup
tion of morals, and depravation of mind,
which at leafi have bellowed into this na
tion. Indeed what in'dividual will for
ever resign his country, whose profpeCts
are bright, whose means of acquiring prop
erty permanent, and whose path to hoh-
^Ht-^,Jr * rc^ereretowr^=^™^=re^F=^B
[N0.15-
\ °
or and confidence Openand direct ? This
delineation of the general character bfa
j liens, will appear correct, after we Shall
have compared it with that thev have
here exhibited.
If attachment to country be so ftrnnj
what dependence can be placed on for
eigners in time of danger,'elpecialn if ri
threaten us from the State, towhich trier
originally belonged ? They will e nh4
with an enemy, if the conditions offeree,
are better, than those ofthe State, in which
they reside ; for after abandoning their
own country, rhey are bound to others
bi no tic> .bar tou^ that are temporary.
I he rum of nations employing mercen
ary a r niie% will be an eternal memento
of tins truth. Should there be war be
tveen tueir hitive and adopted countries
i the only reforr of the fatter is to expel
, rh^u tr>m its limits, bycaule it may find
an enemy in its vitals, when least prepar
ed toi defence. Nations, which are ene
mies, not only ufo open warfare todimin
iih each others strength, but retort to
expedients, which, though secret, are not
dilgraceful. Should aliens therefore be
promised by their State an honourable
reinstatement in ns favor, and an amnel-
Jy for the past, they would betray the
caute of their adopted country without
reluctance. No? is this always requisite.
The recollection alone of the pleasures,
the amuetnents, and the friends of in
fancy and youth will often deprive a na
tion of the confidence of its naturalized
Subjects. Arid to these reasons for versa
tility in foreigners, the pecuniary rewards,
which an enemy may # fer, and a natur
, al repugnancy to fight against the coun
try otour birth, though destitute of eve
ly other principie, and a people can have
nothing to hope, but every thing to
dread from them in time of war. How
man^ instances cf patriotism, compared
with thole of.treachery, can any nation
"boast of in an adopted citizen ? Where
can be. found to entwine round the brow
of any naturalized fubje& the laurels of
glory, which adorned the temples of
Winkelsied, a native of Switzerland?
That great and good commander, feeing
at the battle of Sempach, that the Swiss
could not break through-the Austrians,
became forming a close battalion, they
presented a front, covered with tied, and
bridling with pikes and lances, lavs ; my
"friends, this day will I give my life to
" procure you the vidoiy. I only re
commend to you my family. Then for
ming his men like a wedge, placing him
felf at the point, and commanding them
to imitate him, he marched, and with
his hands, seized the pikes of the enemy,
and threw them on the ground. Their
phalanx was broken, thcmfelves defeated
and Switzerland saved from slavery.
Happy land, had such a spirit animated
thee, and such men commanded thee,
when attacked by the myrmidons of
Buonapate ! But easy is it to find the
reverse of this pidure. The hiftory of
aliens, entrusted with power, is the hifto
ry of treachery.—When victory was al
rnoft within the grasp of the Volei, their
general deferred them. The lovor ofthe
^Peril ins could not retain Aicieiades, after
ms country permitted his return. In
America the character ofGen. Lee was
not free from fufpilion.
But want of deqendence on foreign
ers is not the only evil, which may hap
pen to a State. They are the channel,
thro' which foreign influence may free
ly ilow to diftrad its councils, pr, fi ex
cluded, to obftru& the executions of its
measures. The mifeiies, which thefmal
ler States of Europe now feel need no
poignancy ,to awaken them to this truth.
Manufactures are requisite to commerce
and commerce to the acquriitionof wealth
and power. A simple agricultural nation
cannot attain a degree of power, to which
commercial nations arrive. America
may hasten the improvement of her man
ufa&ures by the settlement ofaliens; but
it will not be acknowledged that the in
genuirv of her own inhabitants is not am
ply Sufficient to perfeft these arts as fa(l
