congressional senators arctic be anathema-

electors thrown contemporary under the
table to-day, what will be the fate of or

they shall presume to express the least
disapprobation ofshe measures, orto CEN

That is the way to silence people. The
srst step to that mode Of silencing has al
ready been taken. When menace and IR
.nlt are once endured the rest viii soon
follow. Soon the silence Of fear viii be
taken for acquieseence ); acquiescence fer
contentlnenr and contentment fora proof
ofliberty. But as well may the silence OF
toe victim at the stake Of the inqnisition be
construed into acquiescence IN his fate,
5or the silence of the dead into satisfaction
with what is done by the living.
Yes. Americans, you who every day sin
more and more, and worship idols the
works of the craft men, you who Kiss the
c.,les will as the inspired HOSEA says, in
fbe verse pre6xed to this letter, 6 be as the
morning cloud, aud as the early dew that
passeth away, as the chat that is driven
with the whlrl@ind out of the floor, and as
tae smoke out of the chimney, If you do
not leave the worship of your idols, and
turn your faces to the true GoD."

ed right to concur or fiotconcuf, in opinion
at least, in every act of government. But
what avails right which may not and which
cannot be exercised with effect. Take a.
way the effectual exercise ofright from any
individual, and you take away that equali-
ty upon which the objection is solely found
ed. The truth is, in Democracy, a ma
jority must govern, & the minority, howe
verlarge or respectable, have,no more share
in such government, than theyIwouid in
a simple Monarchy, or simple Aristo-
cracy.
Should i still be urged, that in Repre-
sentative Democracy, every man has an e.
quail share in the government, because e.
very man has the right of suffrage, and
may always exercise that right if he pleases.
It may be answered, that the conclusion
does by no means follow from the premi-
ses. 1t is not certain that because every
man has the right of suffrage, every man
has an equal share, or any share at all, in
the legislative, executive, or judicial pow
ers Of government. Permit me to illustrate
this point by an example. Suppose the CO.
vernment of Massachusetts, to be repre-
sentative Democracy. Suppose the state
to be divided into one hundred towns, each
of which shall elect one representative
And suppose--that every man has the right
Of suffrage, and shall exercise that right
by giving in his vote at the election. A
majority ofyotes decides the choice in each
town. This majority may be ninety-nine
of an hundred, or it may be hfty-one. The
most that We can reasonably suppose, how
ever, viii not exceed seventy-hve, or three
fourths Of the whole number Of voters
The representatives meet in assembly and
proceed to business. The very 6rstlegis-
lative act divides them. Here again
majority must decide, and here again three
fourths is as large majority as can rea-
sonably be expected. The result then, up
on the most favorable supposition, is that
forty-four of an hundred of the people of
Massachusetts will have no voice or share
in legislation.
And if we suppose the worst that may
happen, seventy-four of an hundred, or
nearly three fourths of the whole number
Of voters, will have no share in the gov
ernment, and there can be no legal re-
medy.
But this not all. Under such govern.
ment, the state will be divided into parties,
and every thing which relates to govern
ment will be conducted by party spirit;
corruption will come in like torrent; and
every thing which deserves the name of
justice will be swept away.
Such government therefore is, if posi-
bic, less than any other, calculated to Sc
cure the happiness OF men and of society.
Yours, &c.

OUR next enqiryis 3dly. Whether either
of the three simple firms Of civil Govern
msat are catcuLatedto secure The happiness
. MI sfmaa and SocietyS
These three forms Of government name
IL, Monarchy, Aristocracy, and D emocra-
cy, however they may differ in other res
poets agree in the follow ing very important
particulars frst they are all governments
of men in distinction from government of
laws: and Ssc9sadl /, those who govern are
above legal restraints their powers being
W illimitabe and unconlroulable. In attend
ing to our two previous enquiries, have
trust made it sufficiently evident, that the
B natural sclhshness Of man renders the re-
sraints OF civil law absolutely necessary
othe safety and happiness of society, and
that men are morally un6t to be their own
governors. Now ifthe safety and happi-
ness of society require, that all men should
be under the restraints OF civil law, then
all those forms Of government which dis
tnguish those who govern from those who
are governed, by placing the former above
the restraints of civil law, are totally incon-
slstent with the safety and happiness of So
cietv. Again if men are morally unst to
III govern themselves, then they are morally
unfit to govern others, that is to possess I'M
limited and uncomfortable power over their
feliowmen But if men are morally unfit
to govern their fellowmen, then all govern
ments of men, (and such are all simple go
vernnents, are calculated, not to secure
bulto destroy the happiness Of man and So
Cety
But here perhaps you will object and
say, that the foregoing arguments however
Just and conclusive they may be with res
Poetic simple monarchy and simple aristo-
crazy, they are by no means applicable to
the other simple form, namely democracy.
forina democracy, every man supposed
nhave an equal share in the government,
consequently there is no real distinction be-
tween those who govern and those who are
governed. In short II govern, & all are 60
'erned. This isa very popular and as well
asplausibIe objection. 1t demands atten-
Ion. We will examine it. Civil govern.
ment necessarily implies three things name
Ffrst, Legislation or making laws; Sc
condly, Judging or explaining and applying
9ss; thirdly, executing or carrying laws
INTO effect. Now the whole weight of the
objection rests upon this single point, that
tveryman has an equal share in the 60
N fenment.
Every man therefore must concur in
making, applying, and executing every
law. But will any laws be made, or ap-
Piled, or executed in this way? Common
'ense VIII answer no. The bare statement
OF the case is sufficient to show It's absu d.
" But perhaps it win be said that this is
