[Mr. AMEs. ;
" Thcrqis a kind of sacality in the assairs ss
of republics, that cludcs the: forcsightss of the
wise, as much as it frustratcs the: toils and
sacrificcs of the patriot & the hero. Evems
procssced not as they were exPccwd or in
tended; but, as they are impdlcd by the
vernment on earth, must depend ultimatcly
upon the pcOPIe themselves. It is not pos- ;
sible to es'tublish and uphold for any length
of time, a constitution and form of govern
ment for which the stake of society is not
prepared; Let the people of America at
tend to—th'ls; let them remember that no
thing but a corruption oftheir old manners
and habits, can introduce a worse govern
ment than they now live under. Vtsi'hen Vss'Fge
the general government, has generally been
emrusted lo men, Who could understand
and were abie tojudge on this shbject.-——
But those men (who love liberty and e
quality so heartily) have not consuhed the
real interests and happiness of their coun
try. T/zc splendar oj'govcmmcnt, is con
sidered by our politicians as every thing
which is worthy of norice and essorc in le
gislation. Bonaparte*s empire is an insi
niteiy more magnificent object, in their
eyes, than the lrunquility nd happiness,
the virtue andimelligence whichsiare sound
among the people in Great Britain, and
than the free and temperate government
si which is escablished there. The glory osa

anxious that the government should be arm

we are by no means to suppose that those
gentlemen were at all disposed to abridge
the rightssiand liberties of the people. But,
they were so foresighted and comprehen
sivc in their views on this subject, as to

on this subject; since it is impossible to
peistmde the pcople of their deiusion. It
may, howev et, be ptuper to prepare the ]
[ minds of those who love theit country, [or 1
( thes ad (atastlophe which they are to wic- ,
ss neSS, in oxder to inspire them with firm
ness and fortitude, and to incite them toi
make vigorous exertions on the occasion.—
1We do suppose that the total destruction of!
liberty may be prevented. We can hardly ;
believe that our country is destined to the si
same sate as France. There are a good
many consideratious which are calculated to i
inspire us with hope, on the subject. In?
the first place, our countrymen are not '
quite as ignorant and corrUpt as the French
were. In the second place, they have hard
ly an) ground of complaint. And in the
third place there will be a respectable body
); Vermont and R/zadc Island, perhaps ex
('t/bled
i Peasoninq' from appearaizces. These
eﬀorts we !: us: will be made 1) J t/zc friends
. qs t/zc government. l
tcrsschan our magistrates, and our srZe re-lss
publican government would endure for ages. l
It is udt neCessary that the people should"
be wesill-read potiticians, that they should
understand the science of leglslution as
Burk'c and Hnmilton. But it is a-hsolutely
necessary that they shouldhuve good hearts, :
that they should bean of good sense., and 3
devoid of all that soolish, ill temperrd Jea- :
lousy of their ruless, which is perpetually]
afraid that they are going to exercise: some
poWer and oppression over them. The de
mocrats believe assuredly, that the sederssal
ists wish to t-stablish a monarchy or an ﬂ
l
]
ristocrncy. And yet there are no men,!
i
who lcsiwe llbetqty more heartily and warmly,
who are more attached to the interests ofss
the people,'and to the repubhcaninstitutions ssss
of their country. !
In thects New England states knowledge !
is more equally dissused, and the better are !
generally better informed, than in my 0- 5
ther country on earth, not excepting Hol
land, or Scotland, Suxony or Swsittht'land,
besorethc late revolution. But, in most
ofour soothern states, the peOple arc de
plorably ignorant and corrupt. Vv'e would
recommend it to the lt-gislatures (,l those
states to attempt something on this subject.
\Ve are persuaded they would succeed in
their eﬀorts. Diure may be done in this
way than is generally imagined. The cha
racter and condition of the: people in the
three northern count'u-s nssslss-Zmssvsil'ctmtl, have
been very much sinuproved by the cxcrt'tuns
ostt lsisi'w ixzassz'vct'sssi-z'ucrz's, within the last sour
teen years. And the gaod which thus:: in
dividuals have done in their country, is a
more da-ct-lightful object to look at, than the
splendid admittiztration olss Mr. Pitt.
Strangc as it may seem, govet'nments husy
themselves very little with their internal do
mestic concu'ns. A scheme of policy in
our government, like the ﬄzbargo, would
be consxdercd ut'ss infinitrly more: consc
quonce, than the estuhlishment of tree
schools through the country. The sits:
would be suzroundcd with so much splen
dor ne. to dzx'ctnzle the eyes of the vulgar:
while th latter would he ridiculed, because
it neither improved thc wealzh nor the glo
ry of the country.
But it is mOrc rsptsiciaiiy neccqsary at the
prescnt time, tizat (,ss-H't should be made
and incrsszmtiy engaged in disseminating
thrir abominablc principirs. Nutwithstand
ing all the can: which the Swiss had- taken
to prc's-ctsirvc ths virtuous principhcts and ha
bits of their fathers, the French politics and
philosophy have made :! sulid progress in
Switzcrhmd. Jrlt may be questioncd if the
cxnpcmr Napnlmn were to die now, and
the states o!" Europe should be left to them
ssivives to new COlldtHlCt their govcx'nments,
whether the: best of them would be.- able to
cstablisiisrcc' government? ; so complctciy
T.".S the state of snciciy among them been
mined. The inﬂuence of French puiiics
and ];hilosophy z'n t/zz'sc'csimsi'trgsst, it is easy to
see is destincd to have: a very serious eﬀect
on the progress of the government. All
