National prosperity is said to depend up
on national virtue. . AS long as this subsists
in popular government, importan Offices
will be filed only by men eminent for abil.
ity and integrity. But when public virtue
is on the wane, the unprincipled will easily
worm themselves into exalted stations. A
life ofvirtue is always a.laborious one, and
when instead ofconferring honor, it is de
spsed and prosecuted. While knavery is
rewarded, there win be few courageous G.
