POLITICAL ESSAYS
On the essential and distinctive qualities of Democracies and Republics, with reference to the Constitution of the United States.
FROM THE BALTIMORE REPUBLICAN, OR ANTI-DEMOCRAT.
ESSAY II.
IT has been of late a common mistake that in proportion as there are fewer restraints on a people, the greater is their political and civil liberty. This principle which goes to the overthrow of all regular authority, has been found to exist, in its most uncontrollable state, in a simple democracy, which signifies, from etymology, the government of the people; and therefore, a pure democracy has been cried up as the only good government; and the monstrous position has been taken, that the government of the United States is a democracy.
They who, having examined history, have observed the evils consequent on the exclusive predominance of the democratic principle in those ancient countries which were denominated free, from the tumultuous assemblage of thousands, agitated by all the passions of popular phrensy, inaccessible to reason, deciding without deliberation, and sacrificing their best friends and benefactors to the mean instigation of low-minded envy and jealousy, may see how irrational and absurd it is to apply such a principle to the constitution of the United States. They, too, who have observed the effects of every step towards democracy in France; the ravages of desolation in its bloody proscriptions, in its republican marriages, in its midnight massacres, in its revolutionary tribunals, and in its miserable delusions of the Goddess of Reason, of Liberty and Equality, and of the Sovereign People, must turn with disgust and horror from those who tell us—We, too, are DEMOCRATS!!!
A Democracy is a government which acts without the check of the wisdom of the few, and the power of the one. An aristocracy is a government which wants the check of the power of the one, and the rights of the many. A monarchy is a government which vests all power in the one, unchecked by the wisdom of the few, or the rights of the many. Neither government is good in itself. The evils of each are cured, as well as the blessings of each preserved, by being intermingled. A good constitution, then, is one which, being made up of each of these three forms, has the vices of neither, but the virtues of all. And it is humbly presumed that such is the constitution of the United States; and that our government, instead of being a Democracy, is a Representative Republic. The legislative power of the country emanates from three branches. The first, and most numerous, is the popular branch, elected by, and immediately representing the people; the second, is the aristocratical branch, or the senate, not elected by the people, but by the state governments, and which, therefore, is to be considered as more directly representing the separate states, or members of the confederation; the third, partaking of the monarchical, is the president, who in his executive capacity, and particularly in his foreign relations, is the great representative of the whole people of the United States, and of the particular states, or members of the confederation. In these three branches, with a judiciary, in the appointment of which the people hold no voice, resides all power to make, explain, and execute laws.
Here we discover in the people no right or authority but that of election; no power to transact any part of administration, to frame laws, to explain, or administer them, to determine on peace or war, to make treaties, send ambassadors, or, in fine, to do any one act of government. 'Tis true the nomination of most those in whose hands the affairs of government are entrusted, may be traced to the people, from whom in the first instance all power must proceed; but this no more constitutes a democracy than if the people at stated intervals elected a king, and entrusted every department to his management. The great excellence of the franchise of election is, that it gives power to the people, and enables them to administer the government, and consequently abuse it. But that it gives security, as far as human prudence can guard against grievances, for the enjoyment of chartered rights, the exemption from unnecessary taxation, and bur-
densome establishments, by returning into the hands of the people, at certain periods, the right of removing from office those who have abused public confidence, and of nominating in their place those who will correct the evils already committed.
They who flatter the inordinate love of power which exists in every breast, by holding up the silly phantom of authority to each fraction of popular sovereignty, either ignorantly mistake, or wilfully misrepresent the genius and spirit of our constitution, which, as is evident, gives to the people no power of committing a single act of government, but provides for their security by enabling them at regular intervals to remove their governors from office.
In fine, the arguments adduced to prove that the republic of the United States is a democracy, only shew that it has the democratic principle interwoven with the others of which it is compounded; this is not attempted to be denied; but in like manner the same arguments might prove that the government of Great Britain is a democracy, because the people there enjoy the elective franchise in the appointment of one branch of its legislature. In both there is more or less of the three forms. In Great Britain less, in the United States more, of the democratic; and it will not be denied that the power of our executive and the functions of our senate, partake of the British form; that the president of the United States has many of the discretionary powers of a British monarch; and that our senate in all respects (except in not being hereditary) has equal, and in some cases more authority than a British house of peers.
From the Boston Gazette of Monday.
Latest from Europe.
By the ship John Adams and Sally Ann, from, Liverpool, we have received our regular files of London papers to the 5th of July, from which we have been enabled to make very copious extracts. The leading articles of intelligence are those relating to the political affairs of the continent, which although opposed to the project of an united and vigorous prosecution of the war against France, are, at the same time, inauspicious to the hopes, which have been entertained of peace, as the natural consequence of a failure of continental alliances. Great Britain can never be brought to make peace with France, while she continues her present military establishment; and if obstacles shall eventually oppose a coalition of the northern powers in a war, which was entered into from no light, trivial or partial cause, England will continue to fight on, single handed; wisely preferring the sacrifice of her entire revenue, to the degradation of such a state of peace as France would offer.
LONDON, June 25.
An attempt will in all probability be shortly made by the Texel squadron, to put to sea. Accounts have been received by a neutral vessel which sailed last Thursday from the Texel that all the men of war and transports there were in complete readiness for sea. The latter are stated to amount to seventy sail, with troops on board and victualled for a considerable time; the former consists of five sail of the line, two frigates, and three sloops. The intelligence brought by neutrals from the Texel, respecting the enemy's armaments, has generally proved incorrect, but this account is in a great degree confirmed by letters from our cruizers off the harbor. One of them says—
“We still continue cruising off this place, yesterday we boarded a vessel under Prussian colours coming out, from the master of which we learn that the enemy's force consists of five sail of the line, three large corvettes, in the Mars Diep, one line of battle ship, which has been hove down and put in complete condition for sea, and a large frigate in the Nieu Diep. The whole were preparing for sea. Several corps of French troops had of late marched in, for the purpose, it is supposed, of accelerating the works that are carrying on.”
Should the Texel armament succeed in escaping, it is not unlikely, that it will push for the Cape of Good Hope. On board of so great a number of transports there cannot be less than ten thousand troops; and were they landed at the Cape, they would constitute a very formidable disposable force which might according to circumstances, be directed from that point against our dominions in India.
June 29.
The Dutch camp at Zeyst has received very considerable reinforcements, and the
troops are to be embarked in the Texel as speedily as possible. A great number of stores and a considerable quantity of ammunition are also preparing for embarkation.
Intelligence is said to have reached government, of the determination of Austria to operate in a decisive and vigorous manner against France in consequence of the consolidation of the Ligurian Republic with the empire of Badaparte, who is stated on receiving a dispatch at Milan from Vienna, to have declared that as Francis seemed tired of the imperial crown, he should take the first opportunity of adding it to his own. Those who circulate, and those who give credit to such absurd rumors, are equally contemptible.
The French minister at Hamburg has most peremptorily insisted that all the emigrants resident there do instantaneously quit that city, and its dependencies.
The total of the effective strength of the British army on the first day of May last, was 21,452 cavalry, 130,332 infantry, and 78,794 militia.
July 2.
The House of commons have voted to rescind their resolution directing the attorney general to prosecute lord Melville in a court of justice; and voted that he be impeached of high crimes &c. before the house of lords. Messrs. Whitbread, Fox, Grey, Sheridan, &c. are of the committee to conduct the impeachment.—A bill has been brought into parliament to indemnify Trotter, in order to make him an unexceptionable and intrepid witness against lord Melville.
A Messina article of June 17 says, That an American squadron consisting of thirteen vessels, of different sizes, of which part is in our port, and the other in Syracuse, is shortly to make a new attack on Tripoli.
Notwithstanding various reports in the public papers, it is not ascertained that Mr. Monroe, the American minister, had left Madrid on the 26th May. Whenever he leaves that city, he comes immediately here to resume his station; and then Mr. Erving, late consul and agent of the United States, and charge de affairs here, goes to Madrid as secretary of Legation, and charge de affairs to that court. Gen. Lyman has succeeded Mr. Erving in his late employment here.
The Prussian monarch, by a note thro' Baron Hardenberg, has avowed his resolution to prevent the subsidiary treaty with Great Britain for twenty five thousand Swedish troops being carried into effect.
The articles of impeachment against lord Melville were ordered to be printed on the 4th of July, and to be taken into consideration on the 9th. There are eight specific charges; five of them amount to eighty four thousand pound deficiency; the other three regard the supposed violation of the law in drawing the naval money &c.
There is a considerable degree of bustle at the Downs.
The fleet assembled there, has been joined by no less than fourteen small five ships; a larger number than is usually attached to such a fleet, which has given rise to many conjectures.
On the 19th June, His Britannic Majesty, by message, informed his Parliament, “That the communications which had taken place between him and certain Continental Powers, had not yet been brought to such a point as could enable him to lay the result before Parliament, or to enter into any further explanations with the French Government, consistently with the declaration made in the speech at the commencement of the session, &c.”
Votes of thanks passed both Houses of Parliament, and assurances of their cordial support, in enabling his majesty to adopt such steps as might be best calculated for the safety of Great Britain, and the general interests of Europe.
The vote of thanks is opposed in both houses.
It passed the Peers 111 to 58. The Prince of Wales was in the minority. In the Commons it passed without a division.
A vote for more money to be expended in subsidies, has also passed.
July 3.
We informed the public yesterday, that his Majesty has lately been unfortunately afflicted with a complaint in his eyes. It is with deep regret we have to state to day, that that complaint is of a most serious nature.
We received this morning the Paris papers to the 26th, and Dutch to the 27th ult.
The decree for incorporating Genoa has been carried into execution, and on the 11th June that ancient Republic was finally destroyed, and the French flag hoisted up-
on all the fortifications and ships in the harbor!
There is in the Moniteur an article inserted we may be sure not without design, from Castiglione, in which a pompous display is given of the French army encamped, amounting to 48 battalions of infantry, 45 squadrons of cavalry, and a large train of artillery, “Besides this army,” says the article in question, “we have a division on at Genoa, another at Florence, a third at Naples, and, in short, more troops in Italy than we ever had, independently of the corps of Italian troops, who appear anxious to render themselves worthy of their sovereign.”
In reading this article it struck us that this pompous display of military strength was made under the impression of suspicion with respect to the designs of Austria, and with a view to convince her that this was the most unseasonable time for her to undertake any thing against the French power in Italy.
It would not have been necessary for Bonaparte to have had more troops in Italy than ever he had, for the mere purpose of coronation parade.
Had he not been suspicious of Austria, he would have avoided pouring so many troops into Italy, in order that he might not give umbrage, or induce the Court of Vienna to believe, that he viewed it with suspicion.
July 4.
M. De Novozilow's mission is considered by the Paris Journalists as likely to lead to peace between Russia and France. They observe upon it, “if Russia had unsuitable proposals to make, she would not incur the expence of an embassy, because the character of the Emperor Napoleon is now too well known in Europe, for any one to hope, to impose upon him by political illusion or boasting.”
Russia has neither an interest nor the means of contending with a colossal power so well established as France; and hence it is permitted to reckon upon an approximation which may be useful to the two countries.” At any rate, the Parisian Journalists will not admit of the probability of a Continental war.
“At Paris, as well as Vienna,” they say “every thing concurs in assuring us that peace will not be disturbed. The desire manifested by the Emperors of Germany and France to preserve the good understanding that exists between the two Courts—every thing changes our hope to certainty.”
The result of this security is the same at Paris as at Vienna. The funds at both places have risen. At Paris they continue to rise and the five per cents which were out at 60 when the Emperor set off for Italy, were on the 23d June at 62.” The rise of the Austrian funds was certainly not produced by any pacific hopes, but by the determination of the Government to repay at fixed periods the sums lent by the Dutch to Austria during the war.
We believe that so far from being on good terms with Bonaparte, she has lately presented a strong remonstrance, and demanded an explicit declaration with respect to his views in Italy.
The Boston packet, from Boston, arrived at Plymouth the day before yesterday. The captain reports that he passed through the homeward bound Jamaica fleet, all well, about 3 days since, so that their arrival may be hourly expected.
Hopes, we are happy to state, are now entertained that the cataract will not extend to both his majesty's eyes. His Majesty, we are rejoiced to state, is otherwise in most excellent health.
July 5.
Intelligence was this morning received at the Admiralty, by a telegraphic communication from Portsmouth, that the Desire frigate, with the homeward bound Jamaica fleet, passed the port at 10 o'clock.
We can assure our readers, from the most respectable and undoubted authority, that the Earl of Buckinghamshire, Lord Sidmouth, and Mr. Vansittart have resigned the offices they held in the administration.
The Emperor of the French is desirous of arranging his new establishments on the grandest possible scale.
France he considers his dwelling house and family mansion, and his numerous enlargements of territory in Germany and the low Countries as so many enclosures from the public common.
Italy is to be his villa for occasional spring and summer visits, whence he enjoys a wide view towards Turkey and Egypt; in the last of which he proposes, whenever he can call the land his own, to erect a prospect house, commanding the interesting distant objects of Madras and Calcutta, and the whole Hindostan country.

Spain and Portugal, and Etruria and Naples, are merely his surrounding tenant-ry. He wants Sweden very much for an ice-house. He has not as yet, turned his imperial mind to the erection of a Mausoleum. When he comes to England, he will probably, find there his tomb, in which he may repose gloriously, in the midst of his gallant companions in arms.
PHILADELPHIA, August 17. Extract of a letter from captain Golder, who arrived at the Lazaretto, in fifteen days from Point Petre, Guadalupe, to the editor.
Just before sailing I received the following information from captain Van Auver, of the brig Friend's Adventure. The day of his arrival, July 29th, at Guadalupe, off the island of Deseada, saw a squadron of ships consisting of fifteen sail, seven ships of the line and eight frigates, distance three and an half leagues, standing W. by S. It was thought by the inhabitants of Guadalupe it was the French squadron from Brest, which they had received information of by a cutter brig, arrived at Martinique some time before.
On the 6th of August, in lat 23. 43, N. long. 86, 15 W. we were boarded by a French privateer brig of fourteen guns and one hundred and fifty men, and treated politely. She had in possession a brig name unknown, captain Stewart of Portsmouth, List from Antigua, standing towards Porto Rico.

MONDAY, AUGUST 19.
COMMUNICATION.
Mail-Stage, by Occoquan to Dumfries. THIS DAY, the Mail Stage from this place to Dumfries, will commence running on the new road by the town of Occoquan, instead of the old route, as heretofore, by Colchester.
To the exertions of an individual, and at a very considerable expence, the public are indebted for a new and elegant road for ten miles of this route, which makes the distance between this place and Dumfries somewhat shorter and infinitely better.
This new road leads off from the old route by Colchester, a little north of Pohic church, crosses over Pohic creek upon a new and substantial bridge, passes through a well cultivated country to the river Occoquan, which it crosses upon a fine new bridge, winds through the little town of Occoquan, and falls in with the old road some distance from Dumfries.
The flourishing little town of Occoquan, which is the first stage, and distant 15 miles from this place, is one of the most romantic, interesting places, that can be conceived: Situate on the south side, and at the head of tide water of the little river of the same name, it already contains several handsome houses; but what will ever render it a place of industry, activity, and business, is its four miles, which are of the best construction; and those already built are capable of yielding two hundred thousand bushels of wheat per year.
FROM THE REGISTER.
Spanish exactions on American Commerce. THE hostility of Spain, in the capture of a government vessel, carrying supplies to a squadron, on which the liberty of so many of our brave seamen depended; the capture of our gun boat, which defended herself with the American flag fully displayed; the capture of an American vessel (and it is said her condemnation) bound to Naples, because she had not a Spanish Pass, alias Certificate, from the Spanish Consul; and the daily captures of our vessels, condemned in the Spanish ports of the Island of Cuba, and numbers of others, which would overflow the columns of your paper, evince a degree of insult that has never been submitted to by any European government. But war upon the high seas is not the only source which is inflicted upon our mercantile citizens; a system of rapacity deliberately formed, seems now to be the engine of pecunia-ry extortion, and our merchants are made to enrich the agents of foreign countries, who are authorized by our government to remain amongst us as spies for their own. I allude to Spanish Consuls.
These agents have, from time to time, published regulations, that our public shipping papers must be authenticated by them, without which, it would appear they would be entitled to no confidence whatever.
To these, many submitted with reluctance; but some would not yield to such shameful exactions. By new regulations, published within these few days, it is evident there is a perfect understanding between the officer in the Havanna and the officer here; the first is to publish his regulations in the Havanna, that every article of the cargo must be entered in the manifest, and certified by the Spanish Consul in the port of the United States—for instance, Philadelphia. This edict is immediately sent on to Philadelphia, and the Spanish Consul declares such to be the law of Spain: I believe he says his majesty's
orders, &c.; all this is a fine concerto, played between the king's officers, and we must pay the fiddlers.
The fact is—in times of peace, there are regular traders between London and Cadiz; when one of these puts up for freight, he will receive goods for twenty or fifty different houses in Spain: for the shipment to each house, a Consul's Certificate must be attached; that is, twenty or fifty Certificates.
No law of Spain, I believe, enforces such exaction upon the trade with the United States and her Spanish colonies. But the sub-agents of his most catholic majesty (and with what right, our executive, I hope, will enquire) think proper to make laws for no other purpose; and, instead of charging us two dollars for a certificate of each shipment, they charge the peaceable Americans with from one to two dollars upon every article in the shipment. If, for instance, I ship a cargo of flour, and damage with staves, they charge two dollars for the flour, and two dollars for the staves: if the cargo consists of flour, beef, pork, fish, &c. they charge two dollars for each: to bills of health, of which we have two, one from the police, and another from the custom house; the present consul charges two dollars for each, when his worthy predecessor charged but 2 dollars for both; and the English Consul makes no charge for any certificate. The regulation says, the manifest must be exhibited to the Consul: why so? that he may count his reckoning, and the American his cost; for, in the Havanna, it is of no consequence whatever, because the government there depends on its guards, one or two of which are put on board, at the vessel's expence, to watch every article that is discharged.
I am confident these exactions are not authorized by his catholic majesty; they are the exactions of his sub-agents, and prove the contempt in which they hold our government: Or else our consuls must be shamefully negligent in not apprizing us of them. But why are we to be told of these things in the first instance, through the public papers? Why do not these Spanish agents make their communications to our Secretary of State, and prove to him, that such are the orders of the Spanish King, and let the information be given to our citizens by our own officers?

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE OYSTER SEASON
IS now approaching, when every Dollar I can get will be in motion. Permit me to address you in a plain way, with a few plain facts.
CASH, you must be convinced, is the main spring, source and life, with all men of business—it gives them energy, strength and spirits to combat every difficulty; and makes them respected by those with whom they have any dealings: the baker, butcher, liquor merchants, grocer, hay, corn, oats—and, in short, every article in the Tavern Line, are CASH. And above all, the worn out Oyster man, who toils many a cold and boisterous day, to obt in his living—to gratify your luxurious appetites, and bring no return to the afflicted—HE MUST HAVE CASH. But how can he have it, when what is owing to me is unjustly withheld? Numbers there are who, having no property, sea and regale themselves at the expence of the Tavern-keeper, by taking advantage of that humane law passed three sessions ago which declares their person safe for all sums under 20 dollars, and their property only liable: but such men will sooner or later meet with their due reward. NOW TO THE POINT: my books to this day are closed and proved; and every account will be made out by FRIDAY next. I shall think myself obliged, and very much obliged indeed, to those indebted to me, to settle their respective balances; a person authorized by me will call on them after that day, when such accounts are not settled by Monday, September 2d, will be put into the hands of officers for collection, without RESPECT TO PERSONS—as real necessity compels me to take such strenuous measures, viz. my own credit and reputation. Those, therefore, whom the law entitles me to receive from, I will make pay. And I trust those whom the law forbids, will also pay, rather than have their names exposed before a court of justice. Money I want, and money I must have. Do unto me, as you would wish to be done unto: Then I shall say, with exultation, praise, and joy: well done thou worthy and honorable man.
In such pleasing expectations, I beg leave to subscribe myself, with every sense of gratitude, their much obliged GEORGE PITT.
NO TRUSTING from this date. All persons to whom I stand indebted are requested to bring in their accounts. George Town, August 19th, 1805. e06

Water-Street ACADEMY.
THE subscriber returns his most sincere thanks to the patrons of his school, for the very liberal and friendly encouragement he has met with since he came to Alexandria: and most respectfully informs them, and the citizens in general, that, as he has taken the house in which he now resides, they may consider his Academy as a permanent school establishment; so that those who prefer him as a teacher may, very probably, have it in their power to send their children to him until they have finished their education: that is, if such parents or guardians conceive, that having obtained a knowledge of the following branches of literature (which are taught in the most careful manner by the subscriber) is a sufficient education for their children, viz. the English language, critically grammatical, agreeably to the celebrated Walker's standard of pronunciation, Writing and Arithmetic in all their branches, Mensuration of Surfaces and Solids, according to Hutton and Bonnycastle, Guessing Vessels of the following figures, in the most exact manner, by cubical arithmetic, namely, Hexagonal, Cubic, Spheroidal, and Casks of all kinds and sizes.
As the great and many advantages which result from having children begin and finish their education with one teacher, are so evident that every well informed person must, upon the least reflection discover them, the subscriber conceives it unnecessary to say any thing in vindication of the subject; but refers it to the good sense and judgment of his friends and fellow citizens to determine, whether it is not better to fix their children in one school, and continue them there, (provided that school is well regulated) than to change their teachers frequently, as some do, in the course of their education; which practice is most undoubtedly fraught with many evils to such children. As the subscriber can teach but a very small part of the children in Alexandria, the above remarks cannot justly be construed to be the effects of avarice: But he would just observe, both for his own sake, and the sake of his fellow-labourers in the didactic profession, that no teacher, be he ever so competent to his task, will receive much credit from the enlightened part of the community, even by his utmost exertions to instruct such children as are moved about from school to school, either to satisfy their caprice, or upon any occasion whatever, that is not of very considerable importance.
Those who are desirous of having their children taught by a person scrupulously strict in the discharge of his duty, as it respects the manners, morals and progress of his pupils in their learning, are invited to visit the subscriber's Academy, and judge for themselves of his manner of conducting a school and method of teaching. As an Assistant is now engaged for a considerable time, between twenty and thirty scholars can be taken, in addition to the number now in the school.
On MONDAY EVENING, the 2d of September next, the subscriber will open an EVENING SCHOOL, at the low rate of Three Dollars per scholar per quarter, ink, quills and wood included; and will teach till the 1st of March, provided encouragement offers.

Alexander Gordon,
Formerly Tavern keeper at Woodbridge;
TAKES the liberty of informing the Public, that he has opened a HOUSE of ENTERTAINMENT at the Occoquan Mills —where he solicits the patronage of his friends, and hopes for the encouragement of the public.
He begs leave to inform those who may please to favor him with their custom, that his house is commodious, his stables good, and shall be well kept; that he is furnished with a good assortment of liquors, and that in the different duties of an inn-keeper, his exertions to please shall be unremitted.
He hopes that his house will be found a convenient stand for travellers, being a moderate stage from Alexandria or Dumfries; and from the great labor and expense that has been bestowed by Mr. Ellicott, in making a new road leading by this place of unequalled firmness and excellence, he has no doubt but that the route by Occoquan, needs only to be known to entitle it to a decided preference to that by Colchester, and is particularly it will accommodate those travelling from Fauquier, Culpepper, and Orange to Alexandria and the Federal City. A view of the different works at Occoquan, will always be amusing to the stranger who has an hour to spare.
