characteristic of American democracy can
hold its own against the influences of a great
and wealthy city, itself democratically gov
erned. Universal suffrage, frequent elections,
local self-government, the popular choice of
the judicial body, the payment, but the
moderate payment, of the representatives of
the people, the low salaries of the judges,
even an apparently rational and highly sim
pliied code of legal procedure-each of these
seems to have separately contributed to
the generation of an entirely new
political virus, which, beginning in
low and impudent fraud, is now
spreading itself by contagion over the whole
of the State of New York, and seems likely
to be diffused through every State in the
Federation All the institutions we have
named may have worked well among the rural
population, and in cities not as yet too power
full; but the moral climate of one great city
has perverted them, and in their distorted
shape they seem likely to assimilate to them
selves all the once praised characteristics of
American democracy. American institutions
a few years since falsified the predictions of
their earlier apologists by the successes
against the South. II had been universally
laid down that the American democracy would
prove weak for attack, though strong for
defense; yet it proved capable of as energetic
an offensive effort as a people ever made.
The result of the war was, however, not the
less the Justification of theory, and it is to be
expected that many other representations
concerning the Americans will turn out to
have been too confidently made.
