MILITARY LEADERS.

IL
The danger Of American Liberty being ulti
mately subverted by some aspiring military lead
er, is phantom which isregulaTly conjuTed W
whenever the well-eamed popularity of pairio
hero threatens to interfere with the regular line
of succession among the politicians. These gen
tlemen would have us believe that the Republic
is never so safe as when in their hands, and thai
the only mode IN which our free institutions car
ever be overthrown, is by some ambitious gentle
man inequalities, that being the common and
well understood course by which all the Repub
lies that ever yet existed haze come TO mourn
| full and untimely end.
We confess that while we have a respectable
famount Of the usual patriotic honor that every
American ought to entertain upon this subject
are unable 70 see the forceofobjections founded
upon the history Of former Republics. Wear
unable, because we doubt whether any fair speci
mems Of Republic ever existed besides our own
In Others, the freemen constituted but an incon
siderable part Of the population. Rome at thu
time Of Caesar, Was an aristocracy rather than ;
republic. The great body Of her people wert
either slaves, OF merely nominal freenen, igno
rant degraded and corrupt. Cesar, at the head
|, Of an army, chiefly drawn from Gaul, had only
| to deal with the aristocracy, a work which the
joint influence Of bribery and force accomplished
the people losing BY his ascendancy, and caring
nothing fora change Of forms Of government, un-
der none of which were they permitted 70 enjoy
the substance ofliberty, In no case. we venture
10 say, has military leader subverted the foun-
dations OF government and successfully usurpcd
power, when the people were well instructed and
enjoyed theirfull shareof political rights.
Hence we apprehend Mo such danger in this
country. Wehave here no aristocracy control
llingthe Government, and monoPolizing the land
The people are free, enlightened, and sovereign
We have no large standing amy to sustain thi
desires Of military usnrper. Our liberties car
never be endangered By a military leader, unles.
the way is paved for that result BY the unwise
ambitious, and selfish policy u political aspi.
