rica and mankind—at the mofl ftupendoui /abrtfc of
human invention—as the politieal magnum bsnum ;
matured by time upon the tree of liberty.
What then arc truly the political functionaries
under the Britilh constitution. They are,
I. A king holding, hereditarily, the monarchi
cal third of the compound, we hare mentioned.
11. A house of lordly holding one of those thirds
of the compound, which we hare called ariftocra
tical.
111. A house of commons, at it is conflituti
onally denominated, which is completely indepen
dent of the people, in a clear and efficient majority,
and is truly an aristocracy of gentry, and of the
clients of the lords, holding its powers on th»
foundation of landed estates, which dcfcend as he
reditarily to a liugle person, as the estates of the
lords, or as the crown irfelf. There are feme ot
cafiooal exceptions, when great and wealthy pur
chasers, (till clearly of the ariftocratical quality,
buy tu'ith coin the feejimpli of a decayed borough,
together with the appurtenant feat in the house of (
commons, or purchase, at the ele&ion-markets, s
the votes which are for sale. To such a number t
do this kind of members amount, that the largest J
house of commons which had ever assembled, before j a
the American war, was returned from places, the ii
majorities of whose whole number of electors were
no moie than five thousand feyen hundred and
twenty-three, in a kingdom with about eleven mil
lions and an half of inhabitants. If t:.e whole of a
the voters in those places (both the majority and
minority) were eleven thousand five hundred per
sons, they wpuld only be about the two-hundredth f|
part of the adult males. For a nation of eleven .
millions and fin half persons, contains about two
millions three hundred thousand males of lawful
age. After this review, which is believed to be
neither materially incorrect nor uncandid, we may \
fafely affirm, that the house of commons is a true m
and absolute aristocracy, principally of hereditary
wealth, and partly of pecuniary riches. The arjf
tccratic influence of many rich and powerful fami
lies, commands the feats fur foroe entire counti®, I
-|'rams dirrdrs BThffrj. It refultstinanfweralil}', as we
' humbly conceive, that rhe British ihoufe cf com
mons are not the representatives of the people ;
that its powers are wielded by persons who have no
eleftivc relation to 199.200 th parts of the freemen
of Britain, but an interest as ariftocratical ami as * '
pppofite, as that of the lords. Is then "ihecon
ftitution of England," truly " a republic?' 7 Is it ( ' e
preferable to our's ? It that constitution, which is
f hereditary in two branches, and a flufiuating arif- 7 n
toctacy in the third, likeow's, which is teprefen- lm
taiive and elefivve thtoughout ? If it has preserved tw
liberty better than the dtfpotifm6 of the European l '"
continent, are we prepared to abandon for it our cul
federal constitution ? It is to us the most astonish
ing of all fadb, that becaofe the British and Ame
ricans have made three divisions of power, we
should be coafidered has having governments of To
three £>rders, like,*the king, the noble, and un
noblei aristocracies, which have obtained from the
unrepr.-rented people, the whole government of '
Britain. As well might we represent a pedestal, girt
retting upon three iron columns, as similar tq one nnd
supported by three non electric pillars. The whole exil
