From the Producing Mans Companion. +" London
The Government of the U. States.


The best form of government is un-
doubtedly the Republican, because there
by the emulation of all is awakened, and
capacity alone is the standard of power
In a true republic, all may equally aspire
to power in turn, for the very basis is
equality of right.-As for equality of ma
ture, it never did, and probably never
will exist. At the present time, there
is but one republic in the world-the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and this,
though the nearest approach to pure, Is
not SO, because SlayeS eriSt an ats terrific
ries. The sol disant republics of Span
ish America are not republics, but petty
military despotisms, in which each chief
rules, who can get the most troops to sup
port his authority for the time being; and
it is needless to add, that the rulers are
constantly changing, and without much
bloodshed, like the petty Italian States
ofthe middle ages. The demonstration
of superior force is sufficient to cause
the old Government to run away; and
the new one takes his place quietly. And
by all this, the majority of the people are
little affected trade and agriculture 90
on without molestation and though little
law exists, species of conventional JUS
tice supplies its place. The ancient re-
publics of Greece and Rome were doubt
less something after the same fashion.
But the United States, with the single
exception of the slaves, form true re-
public. High station is dependent only
on the election of the whole body. If a
man, by high attainment, or extraordina-
ry wisdom, is superior to his fellows,
there is moral certainty that he will be-
come Legislator, if he choose. Thus
only is the balance of equality destroyed; ;
each one finds his level by the operation
of natural causes. The first class philos-
opher must of course be superior to the
laborer, because he is of the greatest val
ue to the community, independently of
his greater rarity, and therefore he is
sure to be better paid for his labors. The
class which is most numerous in propor-
ton to the demand is sure to be the
worst paid. Were the making of chro-
nometers as simple matter and as easy
as weaving cotton cloth or digging, the
rate ofwages would diminish to the same
level. But as there are few men skilful
enough to make chronomcters, they
charge what price they like. But notwith-
standing the distinction this makes in ar
tlhclal society,so far as civil rights extend,
all are placed on precisely the same foot
ing. The highest can no more commit
crime with impunity, than the lowest can
A lawyer, physician, a merchant, a
Judge and common porter, if they COM
NIT the same crime, are placed in the
same prison, and compelled to undergo
the same forced labor, varying, only, in
the proportion of their skill in any me-
chanic art. There indeed, in prison,
the law is no respecter of persons, and
the possessors Of the arts most valuable
to society ascend to the highest grade.
