Notwithstanding the predictions of federal.
ism, there has been scarcely period since
the memorable triumph OF 1900, when the
Republicans were more united, than they
are at this day. Amidst all the vicissi,ules
OF our affairs, occasioned by the folly or de-
pra,ity OF the conduct of foreign powers to-
wards us, IL is an invaluable consolation that
the great body of the people manifest a sta
biity IN principle aad an a,taclment TO men
not to be shaken by events. Because the
MODS OF Greece and Rome we're subject 10
violent gusts OF passion as all mobs ever has
been and ever will be, il has been since alb
surdly echoed and rc-echoed, by those whose
interest lies in dcpreciating popular rights,
that the democratick feature Of our ins;itu-
lions would disclose the same results anc ex-
pose US TO like evils. These inveighers apains,
Republican government have been altogether
inscnsiblc to the marked indifference between
the form and character OF the ancient Rcpub-
licks, and Of that under which we live. They
have igncranty or Intentionally los, sight of
the rciircsentative feature that distinguishes
our system, and that renders il as different
from Democracy as from Monarchy. The
truth is that all extremes are more nearly al
lied to each other than superficial observer
would imagine. There are Intimately. more
points of resemblance between pure democ-
racy and an absolute monarchy, than between
arcprescntaiicc Republican system of GOV.
crnrucnt and 2 pure democracy or absolute
monarchy. For, in the representative Re.
publick the general sentiment is transfuscd
into The coyerns'rnt and cheeks ane controls
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1811-10-30

| the absolute power Of any one man whilA
In aPure democracy, as well as in an abso-
| lutte monarchy, however gilded, the will Of
an individual is the supreme law. Both are,
consequently, equally despotisms. The only
difference is that in an absolute monarchy
there is little hope of change for the better,
while in democracy the very instability of
publick opinion muliplies the chances of re,
form.
In a representative Republick there is
more stability, because the substantial inter
ests Of nation are subject to but little varia-
tior, and because the government, from its
very organization, is compelled to consult
and promote those interests. There may be
occasional periods when those interests are
neglected or sacrificed but publick opinion
soon becomes too powerful for those who have
thus violated their trusts, and replaces them
with men, more worthy of the national conf
dence.
Cf these remarks our recent experience
affords the happiest ycrification. The civiliz-
ed world, oil which we form part, has never
been more cmbroiled and convulsed than DUR
lug the past ten years. The agitations Of the
nations Of Europe, and their wrongs towards
us, have exposed us to greater evils than
could possibly have arisen from any internal
causes. They have kept US in constant
state of alarm, and have deeply affected as
we'll the nature as the value of cur labour.
They have by this operation afforded to fac
tion the most fruitful and plausible themes
for defamation and denunciation against the
administrators Of our government. Oppor-
tunilies, SO alluring, have not been neglect
ed. Every artifce has been used to instll
the belief in the existence of foreign influ-
ence in the very bosom oe the government
No virtue or pubiick services have constitut-
ed a shield against this calumny which has
flowed in bold and steady stream.
And what has been its effect Has ii, as
under different systems, ruined those at
whom it has been leveled Has it robbed
them OF the publick confidence Has it les
scncd their capacity to be useful Has it init
Undated them in the discharge of their du-
ties On the contrary, il has exalted them
1t has cloathed them with additional conf
dence it has increased their ability to serve
their country and it has invigora,ed their
discharge Of duty. The late ilustrious Chief
Magistrate came into tffice ty very small
majority. He retired on the boldest tide OF
popularity. The present Chief Magistrate,
on the same tide, was elected by great ma
Jority, and there are the same unequivocaL
reasons for believing that his virtues and tai
ents still equally endear him to his country:
men. Recent occurrences prove, beyond all
doubt, that these have encompasscd him
with ponoply impenetrable by the shafts Of
political hostility or personal resentment.

from thence 10 Bermuda, to join the Swift
