POLITICAL ESSAYS
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 III.*
THE writer of the essay taken from the Virginia Gazette, defines a democracy a government where the people collectively or in a body, have a right to assemble at certain periods to enact laws by a majority of voices and to try offences committed against the laws of the state. And an aristocracy where the power of making laws and trying offences is lodged exclusively with the rich or nobles.
Hence he infers, that the constitution of the United States is neither a democracy nor an aristocracy: not a democracy, because the people have no right to meet in a body to make laws, which is the essence of democracy: not an aristocracy, because the rich have no exclusive right to govern, which is the characteristic of aristocracy.
This he further enforces, by a brief analysis of the principles of the constitution of the United States. The right in the people to elect the persons, which the compact vests with the power to make laws, he considers as participating of the principle of democracy. The exclusion of all persons under twenty-five years of age, from a right to be chosen to make laws; all who are not thirty, from being senators; and all who are not thirty-five, &c. from being presidents of the United States, as belonging to the principle of aristocracy. The mode of electing the president, together with his functions and powers, as participating of the monarchic principle.
As, therefore, the constitution of the United States can neither be denominated a democracy nor an aristocracy, without a perversion of terms, he asks, what is it? 'A representative government of a mixed nature, excluding the disorders and tyranny, inseparable from those two kinds of government, the democracy and aristocracy.'
This is the doctrine of the writer in the Virginia Gazette, as republished in the Anti-Democrat.
On the other hand, the Aurora maintains, that the constitution of the United States is 'a complete and perfect democracy,' and adduces in support of this position the following proofs.
1st. Proof. His own assertion; which, it is possible, would be taken by many of his readers in preference to Aristotle's. I shall therefore pass it over as unanswerable.
2d. Proof. A denunciation of all those who will not subscribe to the doctrine, that the constitution of the United States is 'a complete and perfect democracy,' as 'fools or despicable knaves or imposters.' This proof being (as one may say) a corollary from his first, will no doubt be considered equally conclusive, with all those for whom it is particularly intended; I shall, therefore leave it where I found it.
His 3d proof, partaking more of the nature of an argument, is entitled to be treated with some forensic respect.
It consists in a definition of democracy from Walker's critical pronouncing dictionary; another definition from Montesquieu; an attempt to describe the constitution of Athens; and inverted quotations from judge Wilson's speeches in the Pennsylvania convention, for deciding upon the constitution.
I shall in the first place examine, whether the judge on this occasion, has defined or described the constitution to be a democracy. He was a member of the convention which framed it; and the Aurora says, 'to put this question out of doubt, let us refer to the framers;' and selects the judge as an example.
Judge Wilson, of Pennsylvania, after having suggested some of the many difficulties which the framers of the constitution had to encounter, observes, "we may see the great end which they proposed to accomplish. It was to frame, for the consideration of their constituents, one federal and national constitution—a constitution that would produce the advantages of good, and prevent the inconveniences of bad government; a constitution whose beneficence and energy would pervade the whole union."
* Hitherto the writing is evidently that of the Editor, what follows, however, appears in another form; given to the public as the writings of another.
and bind and embrace the interests of every part; a constitution that would ensure peace, freedom and happiness, to the states and people of America.
" Oft have I viewed with secret pleasure and admiration, the force and prevalence through the United States, that the supreme power resides in the people, and that they never part with it. It may be called the panacea in politics. There can be no disorder in the community but may here receive a radical cure. If the error be in the legislature it may be corrected by the constitution. If in the constitution it may be corrected by the people. There is a remedy therefore for every distemper in the government; if the people are not wanting to themselves. For a people wanting to themselves there is no remedy. From their power as we have seen there is no appeal. To their error there is no superior principle, of correction.
" There are three simple species of government; monarchy where the supreme power is a single person. Aristocracy where the supreme power is in a select assembly the members of which either fill up, by election the vacancies in their own body, or succeed to their places in it by inheritance, or in respect of some personal right or qualification. A republic or a democracy, where the people at large retain the supreme power, & act collectively or by representation.
" Each species of government has its advantages and disadvantages.
" The advantages of monarchy are strength, dispatch, secrecy, unity of council. Its disadvantages, tyranny, expence, ignorance of the situation and wants of the people, insecurity, unnecessary wars, evils attending elections or successions.
" The advantages of aristocracy are wisdom arising from experience and education. Its disadvantages are dissensions among themselves, oppression of the lower orders.
" The advantages of a democracy are liberty, equal, cautious and salutary laws, public spirit, frugality, peace, opportunities of exercising and producing abilities of the best citizens. Its disadvantages are dissensions; the delay and disclosure of public councils; the imbecility of public measures, retarded by the necessity of a numerous consent.
" A government may be composed of two or more of the simple forms above mentioned. Such is the British government. It would be an improper government for the United States; because it is inadequate to such an extent of territory; and because it is suited to an establishment of different orders of men. A more minute comparison between some parts of the British constitution, and some of the plans before us, may perhaps, find a proper place in a subsequent period of our business.
" What is the nature and kind of that government which has been proposed for the United States by the late convention? In its principles it is purely democratical. But that principle is applied in different forms, in order to obtain the advantages and exclude the inconveniences of the simple mode of government."
" From a subsequent speech, " permit me to proceed to what I deem another excellency of this system. All authority of every kind is derived by representation from the people and the democratic principle is carried to every part of the government. I had an opportunity, when I spoke first, of going fully into an elucidation of his subject. I mean not now to repeat what I then said."
" These are the paragraphs quoted by the Aurora and restored to their original order as a connexion.
" The first, it may be observed, is intended to facilitate the reception of the constitution, by suggesting, if defective, that it may be corrected, the power to do so residing in the people."
" This laid down, the judge proceeds to define the three simple kinds of government and to give a summary of their respective advantages and disadvantages."
" He next observes that, a government may be composed of two or more of these simple forms; that, such is the British government; but, because it is inadequate to such an extent of territory, and suited to an establishment of different orders of men, that it would be an improper government for the U. States."
" He then asks, " what is the nature and kind of that government which has been proposed for the United States, by the late convention? 'In its principle it is purely democratical,'—as if he had said it is not one of the three simple forms, it is not a democracy; but, in its principle it is democratic. The truth is too well
established by experiment, that, 'dissensions, delays, and disclosure of public councils; the imbecility of public measures, retarded by the necessity of a numerous consent'; are evils inherent in a democracy. The principle therefore is all that it was safe to adopt, and in this point of view, all authority, as the judge observes, 'is derived from the people.'
Great Britain and Sweden.
LONDON, June 20. The hostility which the king of Sweden has evinced to the conduct of Bonaparte is well known to the world. And it is apparent he would long since have readily embarked in the war with Great Britain, had he been supported by Russia. Tho' the event has not been officially announced, several circumstances render it certain, that a treaty has been settled between Great Britain and Sweden, by which the latter agrees to furnish 25000 troops for a subsidy to be paid by Great Britain, the amount of which only remained to be settled. Sweden demanded two millions sterling, which Great Britain considered as too much. The Prussian monarch has avowed his determination to prevent the execution of this treaty;—as will appear by the following.
Prussian State Paper.
The Baron de Hardenberg, to the Baron de Brinckman, charge de affairs of his Swedish majesty.
" BERLIN, Dec. 24, 1804.
" When his majesty the king of Sweden, thought proper to send Lieut. gen Armfeldt to Berlin, with a letter from his Swedish majesty to the king, dated Sept. 19, to inquire in what light he considered the political situation of the North of Germany, the king explained himself upon this subject, with the greatest freedom to the Baron D'Armfeldt, as well in his answer of the 26th of Sept. as by the medium of the undersigned cabinet minister of state. The king declared that as his system was to prevent, as much as possible the extension of the war to the continent; and as he had invariably prescribed to himself the strictest neutrality for the good of his kingdom and of his neighbors. His majesty would in conformity to that system employ every means in his power, to prevent the tranquility of the North of Germany being disturbed by any person whatever; that his majesty had given his explanations on this important object, as well to the emperor of all the Russias as to the emperor of the French, that his majesty had entered into mutual engagements in consequence thereof, and that he could not admit or suffer any hostile attempt on either side, consequently no armament of any kind in Swedish Pomerania.
This declaration was at the same time communicated to France, and it is with true satisfaction that his majesty on the one hand received the most positive assurances, by Baron Armfeldt and M. Brinckman, his Swedish majesty's charge d'affairs at his Court, that his said majesty had not any hostile intention against France, that the measures taken at Stralsund were purely defensive, and would never have any other view than to secure himself from an unjust attack; and on the other hand, his majesty found that his endeavors to preserve the tranquility of the North were not employed in vain at Paris.
" Nevertheless, the king has just been informed by an official Note delivered by the French minister M. Laforest, that a treaty of Subsidy is at this moment negotiating between England and Sweden, in which the latter power offers to march 25,000 men, and, according to the statement of the expence attendant thereon, demands a subsidy of two millions sterling for the same, and that it is only the amount of the subsidy which is still under discussion. Although the king wishes to persuade himself that those facts deserve no credit, facts which are so greatly at variance with the above-mentioned assurances; yet the manner in which they are announced, & the confirmation received, at least in part, by other advices, place the king under the necessity of giving his sentiments thereupon. The undersigned has therefore, received orders to request M. De Brinckman, to ask of his august Sovereign, a positive explanation on this important subject, in conformity to the mutual confidence which he has deemed necessary to establish between the king and himself.
" The king hopes, his Swedish majesty, far from wishing to extend the evils of war to, and expose to danger the tranquility and peace of his own dominions, and of the rest of Europe, by an aggression against France, will rather be inclined to co-operate in the preservation of those benefits, and in a reconciliation with that
power, all the avenues to which perhaps not yet be closed. But in no event his majesty permit (without foregoing what the interests of his kingdom and his neighbors require) that Swedish Pomerania shall become either the focus or theatre of war, at he does not consider his majesty, that in the event of hostile measures taking place on the part of Sweden against France, he would be obliged, though reluctantly, to take the most decisive measures respecting that province in order to hinder that event from occurring the system which he has adopted. His Swedish majesty certainly will not espouse this system with partiality, if he will be to consider, that the same principles which oblige the king to hold such language those which in general make it his duty to permit that the tranquility of the North of Germany be disturbed, and which guarantee Swedish Pomerania itself from every consequence attending any what ever.
The undersigned requests M. d'Inckmann to accept the assurance of most perfect regard, (Signed) "HARDENBERG."
GREAT-BRITAIN & AUSTRIA.
June 25.
The object of the ministry is now avowed to be, to establish, if possible, a co-operation with some of the continental powers (of which Austria is unquestionably one) and to act upon the principle of joint peace or war. No proof of the negotiation with Austria, it is true, has transpired; but it is very evident that Mr. Pitt, in a late debate, could allude to no other power. Besides, the late intelligence from Italy, of the incorporation of Genoa with the French empire, must have had a material effect on the policy of that court. Indeed the language of the emperor and king (Bonaparte) on the subject has lately undergone a material change. Sometime since he declared, in one of his speeches, that France might count upon the neutrality of Austria; But in his late inaugural speech, as king of Italy, to his legislature, he seems to hint at the possibility of Italy being the seat of war, which can only arise from the opposition of Austria to his new aggressions. These are his words: "I hope that the peace of the continent will not be troubled; at all events I find myself in a position to fear none of the chances of war: I shall be in the midst of you the very moment my presence would become necessary for the preservation of my kingdom of Italy."
July 1 to 5.
Austria and France.—We have heard it said, that on some late occasion Bonaparte spoke to the Austrian minister with a violence, insult, and menace, such as have never occurred in civilized times. The words were so presumptuous and indecent, that if communicated, they must have excited the utmost indignation. Subsequent events have not contributed to allay it. — Austria has been reinforcing her army.
Invasion.—Accounts were yesterday received that the enemy's flotilla, at Boulogne, continue in a state of perfect readiness for sea, and that Bonaparte is expected there about the end of the present month. — Ten thousand troops who had been sent into the interior, in consequence of some insurrectionary symptoms, had returned to the coast; and there was every appearance of an attempt being shortly made to cross the channel.
Embargo in Holland.—The captain of a neutral ship, who left the Texel on the 28th ult. brings an account of an embargo having been laid on all the shipping in the Dutch ports. It was only by slipping his cable in the night that he effected his escape.
The Dutch men of war and the transports in the Texel, have for some time past been in readiness to put to sea, and were only waiting for a favorable opportunity to come out. From the embargo having been laid, it is supposed that the next account will shew they have proceeded on their voyage.
Private letters from Holland speak of the increasing discontent throughout that country, and express a serious apprehension on that another revolution, more consonant to his views and feelings than any which has taken place is at present meditated by the Corsican tyrant.
British Navy.—The great and rapid increase of men of war of all descriptions, from 120 guns to a cutter of 10 guns, within these twelve months, proves very strongly the exertion of the present admiralty and those under their orders; there being now in commission, ready for sea 92 sail of vessels actually employed for ever

which numerous signals are appointed, from one to nine hundred and twenty seven, and from A to Z, to know each other at sea, and to be known at the telegraphs and signal posts, and by the different port admirals. In the above number of nine hundred and twenty three, are not included any armed transports or hired armed tenders, but only such line of battle ships, frigates, sloops, gun-brigs, and cutters are commanded by post captains, commanders and lieutenants of the royal navy. In the above number, the prison, hospital, and transport ships in harbor are also excluded.
   Cavalry. Infantry. Militia.     Great Britain, and the islands of Jersey & Guernsey. 15019 47845 59223   Foreign stations 3763 23371 19571   General Total 2670 59116   21452 130332 78694    Seventeen thousand six hundred and seventy one men for limited service, and 2727 men belonging to foreign and provincial corps in British pay, are included in the above general total of cavalry and infantry.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21. Captain Lark, of the schooner Sally, on the 27th of July, in lat. 22, 11, long. 63, at 4 P.M. fell in with the mainmast of a large ship, which he supposes had been blown up, as part of the rigging and sails were much burnt: picked up part of an English pendant, and a number of blocks, stamped with an arrow, the customary mark of blocks belonging to a king's ship. Saw another mast about a mile distant, with all the yards and other spars attached to it, and one of the bower anchors, with the cable to it hanging under the maintop. There being a very heavy swell, and the weight of the anchor keeping the mast nearly upright, capt. Lark could only save a few spars & blocks. On one of the top-gallant yards, "BLENHEIM, C. R." is cut with a pen knife. [His majesty's ship Blenheim, of 74 guns, was commanded by captain Bland; she does not appear to have been attached to the fleet under lord Nelson; nor, from the list published, to that which sailed from England, under admiral Collingswood; neither do we find her name among those last stated to have been on the Jamaica station. From the circumstance of her having her colors flying (which captain Lark could plainly discern under water) it is conjectured that the ship must have been in action when the accident took place.] In lat. 31, 50, captain Lark was boarded by the French privateer Regulator, detained him one hour and plundered him of spunyarn, &c.—put on board one man, and a letter directed to Mons. SALOMON, of this city, inclosing the bill given by capt. Scofield, for the ransom of the ship Benjamin. Left the privateer at the outer edge of the Gulf, standing to the southward.
(Charleston Courier.)  Hamilton Rowan. —This morning, Mr. Hamilton Rowan appeared in the court of king's bench, the clerk of the crown, having read the record of his outlawry, asked him, what he had to say, why judgment of death and execution should not be awarded against him?
Mr. Rowan in reply, plead, that he was in Pennsylvania, where he was outlawed; and that he had been instructed by his counsel that the outlawry was erroneous. After examining the writ, an error in point of fact was acknowledged, and the outlawry was reversed. An indictment for treason was then read; to which Mr. Rowan pleaded his majesty's most gracious pardon; on which he was discharged. Mr. Rowan having risen from the kneeling position in which he heard the pardon read, thus addressed the court:
"When last I had the honor of appearing before the tribunal, (several years ago) I told your lordships, I knew his majesty only by his wielding the force of the country; since that period, during my legal incapacity and absence beyond seas, my wife and children have not only been unmolested, but protected; and in addition to those favours, I am now indebted to the royal mercy for my life. I will neither, my lords, insist upon the rectitude of my intentions, nor the extent of my gratitude, lest my conduct should be attributed to base and unworthy motives; but I hope my future life will evince the sincerity of those feelings with which I am impressed, by such unmerited proofs of his majesty's beneficence."
To this Address the Chief Justice replied— "Mr. Rowan, from the sentiments you have expressed, I have not a doubt but you will prove by your future conduct that his majesty's pardon has not been bestowed on an unworthy object." Mr. Rowan then bowed to the court and withdrew.  (Dublin paper.)
A respectable number of Citizens of Fairfax county and others, having met at Wilcoxon's tavern, Fairfax courthouse, on Monday, the 19th of August, 1805, pursuant to an adjournment of a former meeting, to take into consideration the propriety of the establishment of a BRANCH of the BANK OF VIRGINIA, in said county, in the vicinity of the town of Alexandria:
THOMPSON MASON, Chairman , and CHARLES TYLER, jun. Sec'y .

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 spirit to combat every difficulty; and makes them respected by those with whom they have any dealings: the baker, butcher, liquor merchants, grocery, hay, corn, oats—and, in short, every article in the Tavern Line are CASH. And above all the work-out Oyster man, who toils many a cold and laborious day, to obtain his living—to gratify your luxurious appetites, and bring NO RESSENTMENT to the afflicted—HE MUST HAVE CASH. But how can he have it, when what is owing to me is unjustly withheld? Number there are who, having no property, feast and regale themselves at the expence of the Tavern Keeper by taking advantage of that human law passed three sessions ago which declares that person barred for all sums under 20 dollars, and their property only liable: but such men will never 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 the respective balances; a person authorized by me will call on them after that day, when such accounts as 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 forecloses, 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, prais 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 PITTS.
NO TRUSTING from this date. All persons to whom I stand indebted are requested to bring in their accounts.

Alexander Gordon,
Formerly Tavern-keeper at Woodbridge; MAKES the liberty of into mine 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 modern stage from Alexandria or Dumfries; and from the great labor and expense that has been bestowed by Mr. Elliott, in making a new road leading by this place of unequalled firmness and excellence, he has no doubt but that the route to Occoquan, needs only to be known to entitle to a decided preference to that by Colchester, and more 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.

FOR SALE, IN PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Nabsco Furnace, and its Appurtenances, with 4 or 5000 acres of Land adjoining.
NEAR the town of Dumfries, and within four miles of the Potomac. The soil is generally adapted to the produce of small grain—and, it is too considerable for one purchaser, will be laid off in lots suitable for small farms. A description of the land is thought unnecessary, as it is wishing to purchase will, no doubt, first view it. The payments required will be one-third cash, and the balance in two annual installments, to be secured by a mortgage on the land, and no deed will be made until the last payment is complied with. Any person wishing to purchase, may know the terms by applying to Mr. Thomas P. Page, living near the premises; who is fully authorized by me, to sell the whole or any part.

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 reach but a very small part of the children in Alexandria, the above remarks cannot justify the continued use of 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 so many children as are removed 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 manner, 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, pens, and wood included; and will teach till the first of March, provided encouragement offers.

The above slave went off 28th July, 1805. THOMAS WEST, One mile from Alexandria.

Polygraphick Painting.
THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practiced by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to pass, by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespearean style, New York, by permission of the Proprietor.
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.
supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the place, AMERICA characterized as an Ab-original, is seen in a tempestuous lamenting her loss. In the left is PATRIOTISM turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer.
“There is none more worthy than Washington.” The whole forming a more beautiful tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public.
To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of art, science in those arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already possessed with different engravings on the subject, it is hoped, will find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a PRINTING, and the design new, executed by a pencil, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—it requires no glass—that while their prints contain a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures. The price also is reduced so as to leave, comparative merits, no objection.
Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert C. Cary, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscriptions to the persons to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery.
Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required, on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE A PORTRAITS
Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington. On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likeness of this amiable couple.
One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Galt's by's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive Subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer to Robert Gray's, King Street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names.
The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the United States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so correct and a beautiful copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed.
