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 XVI.
(Life of Aristotle continued.)
Alexander was 15 years old when Aristotle undertook his education (79). Instead of giving him a slight tincture of learning he carried him into its deepest recesses, invigorated his soaring mind with whatever is excellent in Ethics, or profound in politics, and rendered him familiar with the most recondite philosophy, known afterwards in the Lyceum by the epithet acrotic . How highly Alexander esteemed this abstract and recondite philosophy, appears from the following letter, written immediately after the battle of Guagamela, and while he was yet in pursuit of Darius: "Alexander wishing all health to Aristotle. You have not done right publishing your acrotic works. Wherein shall we be distinguished above others, if the learning in which we are instructed be communicated to the public?—I would rather surpass all other men in knowledge than power. Farewell." (80) Aristotle not considering this letter as merely complementary answered it as follows:—"You wrote to me concerning my acrotic works, that they ought not to have been published. Know that in one sense this is still the case, since they can be fully understood by those only who have heard my lectures." (81)
It has been presumed that the theological parts of his acrotic works were made public; they were most probably involved in obscurity; for, to have maintained in plain and popular language, the unity and perfections of the Deity, must have brought upon the Stagyrite a much earlier persecution than that which overtook him after the death of Alexander. It is to those acrotic works which comprised his theology, that we must ascribe the opinion expressed by Alexander, that, "God was the common father of men, but that he affected & loved particularly the good."
It Alexander did not come out of the hands of Aristotle, a more perfect prince, a more able instructor, he would have proved a less noble and virtuous conqueror. The ambition of Alexander had early taken root; and the peculiarities of his character had displayed themselves, on several occasions, before Aristotle's arrival at the capital of Macedon. On the news of Philip's victories being brought to Alexander, he would say to the children who were his companions, and educated with him, "my friends my father will conquer all;—he will leave nothing brilliant for us to perform." When asked whether he would not run in the Olympic race? "Yes, he replied if I had kings for my antagonists." This ambition was not repressed by Philip. When shedding tears of joy upon his neck after Alexander had descended from Bucephalus, whose fiery spirit he had just subdued, he said, "My son seek another kingdom more worthy of thy abilities, for Macedon is too small for thee." It was also previous to the arrival of the Stagyrite, that he surprised and astonished the ambassadors of Persia, with his questions respecting the nature of the Persian government, the character of Ochus, who then reigned, the strength and composition of his armies, the distance of his place of residence, from the western coast, the state of the intermediate country, and particularly of the high roads leading to the great Capitals of Susa and Babylon. (82)
Upon such materials then, as entered into the composition of his pupil, could human reason, could divine philosophy, could even religion herself have performed more? All that reason and philosophy could do in such a case, was to warm his breast with still more exalted affections, and to render him by the nobleness of his conduct, superior to all other conquerors. The excellencies of Alexander, therefore, may be ascribed to our philosopher; his imperfections to himself, to Philip, and to the intoxicating nature of unbounded prosperity.
It redounds greatly to the credit of Aristotle, that during his residence with Philip, his interest and kind intercession benefited many individuals, and many communities (83). On one occasion the Atheni-
ans rewarded his good offices, by erecting his statue in the citadel (84). Another instance of his influence deserves to be particularly noticed, especially as it marks the ardent affection which he felt for his birthplace, and serves to refute the calumny that he conspired in its destruction.
Stagyra, it is understood, was reduced by Philip. That its defence must have been obstinate, may be inferred from the severity of its punishment. The conqueror razed it to the ground. It appears that Aristotle from his removal to Atarneus, had not resided in it, and but rarely visited it. Through his influence with Alexander the Great, it was rebuilt; its defences and ornamental edifices restored; and its wandering citizens collected, and reinstated in their possessions. He himself regulated its government by wise laws; and the Stagyrites instituted a festival, to commemorate the generosity of Alexander, and the patriotism of Aristotle (85). Plutarch preferred to all the pleasures of the Epicurean, the delight which Aristotle must have felt on this occasion; when he rebuilt his native city, and placed in their hereditary seats his expatriated countrymen.
The letters too, of Aristotle to Philip & Alexander, while they attest his unwearied exertions in the cause of friendship, bear evidence of his manly freedom, in admonishing kings of their duty.
To Philip he once wrote—"They who undertake a command for the good of their subjects, do not trust in their own power, which they know subject to chance, but grow great in virtue, whereby they order the commonwealth wisely. For there is nothing among men so firm and solid but with the rapid motion of the sun it changeth ere the evening. Nature, if we inquire into the truth, varieth all lives, interweaving them, like the action of a tragedy, with misfortunes. Men, like flowers, have a set time wherein they flourish and excel others. Wherefore, behave not yourself towards Greece tyrannically nor loosely; for one argues petulance, the other temerity. Wise princes ought not to be admired for their government, but governance; so that, though fortune change, they shall have the same praise."
To Alexander, while in pursuit of the subjects of his ambition—"Good precepts and exhortations of masters have eternity for their spectator. Endeavor to make use of coming power not to oppress but to oblige: nature obtaineth eternal memory by the greatness of such works. Consider this well: you are not unreasonable as some are, who think good advice ridiculous. Your descent is honorable; your kingdom hereditary; your learning sound; your glory admirable; and as much as you exceed others in the goods of fortune, so ought you to excel among the good in virtue."
Philip died in the first year of the 111th Olympiad, and was succeeded by Alexander; whose active spirit, soon after coming to the throne, planned his expedition against Persia. Aristotle having lived eight years with Alexander, and preferring the quiet of a contemplative life, to the troubles and vicissitudes of war, separated from his pupil for ever, and returned to his beloved Athens.
One incident, and one only, seems to have occasioned some disgust between them. At leaving Alexander, Aristotle recommended, to accompany him in his Persian expedition, his own kinsman, Callisthenes, an Olynthian; a learned and honest man, but of a morose and unaccommodating temper, and pertinaciously attached to the system of republican liberty. Aristotle, perceiving this fault, admonished him in a verse of Homer, "that this unbiddable tongue might occasion his early death." The prophecy was fulfilled. Callisthenes rudely and outrageously opposed Alexander's resolution of exacting the same homage from the Greeks, which was cheerfully paid him by the Persians. This transaction, it is asserted, much estranged Alexander from his preceptor; but the assertion is not accompanied with any solid proof.
Aristotle on his return to Athens, opened a school in the Lyceum; a place in the suburbs, built by Pericles for military exercises. Here he spent thirteen of the last fourteen years of his life (86) instructing his disciples, and improving the various branches of his philosophy. His Acrotick doctrines were taught in the mornings, to which none were admitted but persons whose discretion, learning and diligence, he had previously ascertained. His Exo-
terick lectures, which bore a resemblance to the philosophical dialogues of Plato, were communicated in the afternoons or evenings, to all young men, without any distinction. The former lectures he called his morning walk, the latter his evening walk.
NEW-YORK, October 2.
Capt. Latham, of the ship Two Friends , left Belfast on the 22d of August, at which time no political event of importance had occurred. He informs us that island was in a state of tranquility, and that lord Nelson had sailed from Gibraltar to the northward.
The Belfast papers, with which a respectable commercial friend has obligingly favored us, are to the 17th August, inclusive, and contain London news of the 12th; but nothing more interesting than the subjoined articles:
LONDON, August 12.
The number of men embarked on the Texel, we understand, exceeds considerably the number of 25,000, which was the number stated in the accounts of last week. Every vessel from 30 to 300 tons has been impressed to carry men, and the greater part have been furnished with sweeps to facilitate their movements, should the wind fail them. At Boulogne and all along the French coast, the preparations are in equal activity, and every thing gives a shew at least of an intention to invade us.
It is certainly possible that the whole may be only a feint, intended to turn the attention of this country and of Europe from other plans of the Corsican; but it becomes us to be on our guard—and to be so without alarm, useless hurry, and precipitation.
Our different squadrons have been reinforced, and the necessary orders have been sent to the different maritime counties to prepare a vigorous resistance.
For the last two days there has been a continued bustle at all the offices of government, and circular letters from the different commanders have been written to every corps. The following has been sent round to the members of the Bloomsbury and Inns of Court Association:
"Sir—You are requested to hold yourself in readiness to obey any orders that may be issued; and particularly to leave word where to be found, if absent from home. By order of lieutenant colonel Cox."
Several councils of general officers have been held in the principal ports along the coast. On Friday one was held at Dover, at which time general lord Forbes, general Hope, and the chief officers of the garrison attended. Two more meetings took place on Saturday at Schornecliffe camp and Hythe, where general Moore and sir David Dundas command. The engineer department, and the whole of the horse artillery are in movement.
The alarm of invasion has increased in proportion as the probabilities of a continental war have multiplied. Since the abrupt termination of the Russian mission, the preparations of the enemy for making a descent on this country have been such, that government have found it necessary to summon all its energies to meet the shock with which they are menaced. It is not for us to council the accuracy of that information, which those who direct the public force are in possession of. It remains to be seen whether Bonaparte will risk his power and his very existence upon an enterprise, in which, if he should fail, there can be no security for either one or the other in France. He may fight a dozen battles on the Continent, be discomfited in every one of them, and yet preserve his authority over his troops, and retain their attachment; but it is not so in an expedition directed against this country. Between complete success and total destruction there is no medium, the invaders must either triumph or perish.
An order, it is said, was sent to all the out-ports some days ago, instructing our cruisers to detain all American vessels which have on board property not the property of the United States. This order has been already acted upon, and several ships have been stopped. The American Consul, it is reported, has applied to government for an explanation; but we are not acquainted with the answer he received.
Captain Petre, of the British Packet, has favored us with the following intelligence which he received in manuscript from the printer of the Halifax Royal Gazette:
Royal Gazette Office.
HALIFAX, Sept. 16.
By a schooner that arrived here this morning from St. Johns, Newfoundland, after a passage of seven days, the following particulars respecting the Combined Squadron were received.
Translation from the Portuguese.
VIGO, July 29.
"On the morning of the 23d instant in a thick fog in the latitude of — and about 40 leagues W. of Cape Ortegall, the vanguard of the combined French and Spanish squadron coming from Martinique, fell in with an English squadron comprising 13 two deckers and 3 three decked ships of the line; a battle immediately ensued in the fog in great disorder, 9 French ships being to leeward were unable to join in the battle, which lasted with great obstinacy on both sides for six hours.
They say that one of the English three deckers was completely wrecked, and all the rest were very much damaged.
On the 24th the combined squadron re-joined, and chased the English, who avoided a second combat, thereby raising the blockade of Ferrol.
On the 27th in the afternoon, the said combined squadron entered the river Vigo, comprising 19 ships of the line, 4 frigates and 2 brigs of war, bringing also with them a Spanish galleon loaded with plate from Lima, which had been taken by the English.
Two ships of observation or for reconnoitering, were left off this port, which are not come in, there are also two Spanish ships missing which separated in the action, one dismasted and the other very much damaged.
From the thick fog it is not known what course they took or whether or not they afterwards fell into the hands of the English. This combined squadron is composed of excellent ships, particularly the French, well manned, &c. 6 of them however were very much damaged. It is supposed there are about 300 men wounded, which are to be disembarked to-morrow and sent to the hospital, and from 40 to 50 killed. The squadron has on board 12,000 troops, and is commanded by the Spanish Admiral Gravina, second in command Vice Admiral Villenueve.
Yesterday an express was dispatched to Ferrol, and it is presumed that within 3 or 4 days this squadron will be joined by another now in that port, comprising 17 sail of the line, and that they will then put to sea together, taking with them the Sabina frigate which was in this port. The Ferrol squadron has 13,000 troops on board; it is much feared that Nelson will reach this before the Ferrol squadron.
LISBON, August 13.
On the 3d instant advices were received of the combined squadron being steering into Vigo on the 27th ult. consisting of 27 sail of ships of war, and Admiral Nelson was said not to be far from them, his squadron having been seen off Cadiz and Lagos bay some days ago, and the Pauletta sloop of war was dispatched to inform him that we hourly expect some great news from the consequences from the consequences of Nelson's falling in with them, and it is probable he has been joined by the squadron blockading Cadiz being nine sail of the line under admiral Collingwood.
August 14.
The combined fleets are reported to have got into Corrunna, they left the ships at Vigo on the 31st ult. Lord Nelson was said to be off Vienna on the 7th inst. The two Spanish men of war taken by the Ferrol squadron have arrived at Plymouth.
A squadron of eight ships of the line with troops, is again said to have sailed from Rochefort. Much preparation continues to be made for invasion.
August 16.
Affairs in Spain are said to be fast tending to a civil war. The country has of late been a prey to every sort of calumny.
The San Rafael in the late action is said to have fought extremely well, and to have suffered the most severely.
The above intelligence was received at St. Johns, by a short arrival from Lisbon, and the authority is too good to permit its being doubted.

WILLIAM COTTLE.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 24. Captain Leborgne, who arrived yesterday from Barracoa, informs that about 900 people of color arrived at that place on the first inst. in two vessels, from Port au Plat on the Spanish side of St. Domingo. They stated that they had left that place in search of the necessaries of life; but it was generally supposed that they had been driven off by Gen. Ferrand, they having refused to assist him in his war against Dessalines.
The frigate Adams is still cruising off our Bar; several of the officers came up to town yesterday in a pilot boat.
The schooner St. Michael, from Baltimore bound to Jamaica, with a cargo of dry goods, was captured and sent into Barracoa about the 5th instant. The orders of general Ferrand, to the privateers commissioned by him, are, to capture all American vessels having on board dry goods to the value of more than one hundred dollars, which are bound to either an English or Spanish port, where those articles are not permitted to an entry, and on this principle the St. Michael will be undoubtedly condemned.
Mr. Philip Jeffman, late of the brig Jane of Baltimore, had taken passage in the schr. Two Sisters, for this port, but was impressed in sight of Barracoa, by the British government brig Port Mahon.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5.
A variety of valuable antiquities have been discovered in Thessaly. Among which are the busts of Aristotle and Anacreon, a large statue of Ceres, with a coin of Lysimachus, and some remarkable pills. A Greek MS. containing a commentary of Nicophus on the ancients and the ancient Greek church, was discovered at the same time. Another building has been dug out from the lava which buried the city of Pompeii. In it has been found, in good preservation, vases, coins and musical instruments, a beautiful azazen statue, representing Hercules killing the hind on Mount Menalus, and several paintings in fresco. At the town of Alesole, near Florence, a beautiful amphitheatre has been discovered, and the greatest part of it cleared from the rubbish. It is supposed that it would contain at least 30,000 persons.
No discoveries are of more importance than those which are connected with the improvement of Agriculture. Every one who attends to this subject, is acquainted with the sweeping destruction which has been occasioned by the genus of the Eruca, or Caterpillar. Many countries of this kingdom, especially in the western districts, depend, in a great measure, on the annual produce of the orchard; and in these districts, at least, it will be of great utility to circulate the intelligence of an experiment for the protection of fruit trees from the caterpillar, which has been attended with complete success. A clod of earth is moulded round the top of the trunk of the tree; and this is the whole process. From the hour that this operation is performed, even the most remote ramification, will begin to fall, and the tree will, in a short time, be wholly freed from this destructive incumbrance. It is true, that the animals will afterwards attempt to renew their depredations; but as soon as they arrive at the ring of earth, which should be permitted to remain, he will hasten down the trunk with much more rapidity than he attempted to ascend. We state this fact with confidence, but we leave to the learned zoologist the explanation of the mystery.
CAUTION With respect to the violent treatment of cats.
In the Memoirs of the Academy of Turin Vol. 6th, is found a very interesting communication of Mr. Rossi, entitled "Observations, dissections and experiments on the bite of enraged animals." One of the most important facts contained in it, is that cats may by ill treatment be rendered mad, and without having been themselves bitten, may by their bite produce the most violent Hydrophobia. He relates the following instances.
A young man was bit by a cat in the leg; he suffered acute pain for some time; this ceased, and he became well. Every method of preventative for hydrophobia was used, cautery, caustic, alkalies, blisters &c. all in vain; the 49th day the symptoms appeared, and the patient died with his teeth fixed in a piece of iron. It is remarkable, that the cat had only been rendered
dered furious by being confined in a room and tormented.
A cowfeeder having remarked a cat often coming to steal the milk in his dairy, lay in wait for it, and attacked it with a hatchet. There was a considerable contest until, at last, the cat unable to avoid the approaching blow, leaped at the man and seized his chin, whence there was no possibility of detaching it but by cutting off its head. The patient was carried to the hospital, and all the preventatives of hydrophobia, as cautery, purging, bleeding and mercurial salivation, applied.
On the 20th day the fatal symptoms made their appearance; he experienced much difficulty in swallowing water, but this he overcame with great fortitude; the difficulty increased, the wound became bad, the patient grew furious and endeavored to bite every one that came near him, was bound in chains, and immediately broke them in pieces—leaped from his bed and ran up and down the hospital, attempting to bite all he met, till reaching the outer door in order to escape, he was seized with a shivering and fell down dead.
On dissection the appearances in both these cases were precisely similar to those of Hydrophobia.
The dreadful lesson taught by the cases here stated should be carefully kept in mind by all who are, from their tempers or habits of life, much exposed to the temptation or necessity of using harsh methods with the most common of our domestic animals.
[Edinburgh Review, April 1805.]
From the Port Folio.
THE LAY-PREACHER.
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart.
WHERE is the sullen mortal who would refuse to obey so pleasant an injunction as this, coming too on the authority of Solomon?
However, as this doctrine, at first view, seems to flatter the indulgence of the passions, and the effort to proceed with an ill grace from a moral teacher, let us look narrowly into Solomon's system, and endeavor that wisdom may be justified of her children.
In one of the most interesting and amusing journals that we find in the bible, Solomon has narrated to us the hopes and fears, which agitated his busy life. Born a monarch, he could exercise supreme power; and a votary of the muses, he acquired the highest wisdom. His city was magnificent, his subjects loyal. Commerce wafted him all that was rare from Sidon, and the decks of Turkish ships glittered with the pageantry of its peacocks. In a situation so favorable to enjoyment, it was natural that he should withhold his heart from no joy, and that the luxury of the east should excite him to refine on pleasure.
From his love of letters, his first indulgences were mental. He conned the pithy sayings of the Orientals, and fatigued his faculties with the scholastic jargon of many a Rabbi. But soon discovering that he was directing his thoughts through a trackless maze, and that if such abstruse disquisitions were too eagerly pursued, wisdom would turn into folly and too much learning make him mad, he resolved to descend from the pinnacle of speculation, and mix with men in the high way of life. We then hear of his agricultural experiments, the area of a numerous household, his domestics and his public munificence. Thro' the dusty deserts of Palestine he probably conveyed distant water to thirty subjects, and with numerous bridges over arched the brook Cedron.
But the restless Prince, when the labors of the day were past, and he communed with his own heart in the inner chamber of the palace, found, in reflection's sober hour, that this was a sore travail and vexation of spirit.
At length, after numerous experiments, on happiness, he drew a formal comparison between the varied situations in life. After stating the account of human hope and disappointment, with clerical accuracy; that folly has a funeral splendid a requies of wisdom herself; that the rewards of fortune are perishable, and, tho' obtained by a course of painful industry probably become the inheritance of another; that the reign of novelty was past, and every object wore the uniform of sameness; he concludes, I think philosophically, by going against anxiety, and enjoying a moderate participation of festal joys.
From various passages, interspersed throughout the volume of our belief, I am persuaded that christianity was designed to be a cheerful system. Miserable was the
perversion of its precepts by those, in early times, who believed that none could prove his sincere votaries, but the moping and the austere. It is wonderful that primitive Piety, who must be supposed to hold the Bible constantly in her hand, should not discern the numerous texts enjoined to sanctify the moderate use of the good things of this world. Not to be too anxious, to hope habitually, to enjoy soberly, and to rejoice evermore, are prominent precepts in the New Testament. I hope I shall not be accused of thinking like certain philosophers of the sect of the Epicureans, when I frankly acknowledge that I see no valid reason to forbid the straightest of our religion eating dinner with sweet herbs instead of the bitter ones of the passer. Should such a feast of joy provoke thirst, I shall not deem it an infraction of gospel rules to indulge him with a little wine. The vineyards of Engadi are no more, but those of France remain, and if a Jewish law-giver could tie his coat to the vine, and dip his mantle in the blood of the grape, why may not the modern drinking-glass be sometimes tinged, and why were grapes given us unless to be crushed?
