Such however is the ' r V fact. ,he I« the Notes on Virginia, page 126, the l' erl u tution of Virginia is condemned by Mr. tU , j. because "all the powers of government refulfeto f , ie " the legislative body." " The concentrating- . >r (he adds) in the fame hands, is precisely the *de !" "fuition of despotic government.

Those who make the molt d de- .ostentatious parade of it, are known to be the molt ! » jnd in their piivate life, their pubficcon a< all du£t, and all their views It is certain, that Mr. Jefferfon himfelf, what- * om ever be might a!fe£t, enteriains none of these fi'ars. 'al In a letter, already referred to, from him, arc these tit expreffioss : " The rising race (in the U. States) F fe- " are all republicans. We were educated in roy for " alifm : no wonder if some of us retain that idol ver " atry ft ill. Our young people 'ar« educated in re the " puhiioanifm ; an apvjlacy from that to royalifm, jn. "is unpretedemed and impcjjible." What ground da •it then for these apprehensions ? How 11111 ft every ju nd dici»us and independent citizen reprobate such base tr di- attempts to miftead the public, and to defame some J n to of the brftcharafters in the United States? And of dr nf. whon are these fears entertained >Of Mr. Adams! tu fe- —a citizen who, through thp arduous progress of W J he a long public life, has rever been betrayed into one o ia I r . at, which his opppnents can objeift to him ; for, hii in- rt is to be observed, that, although he has been in rei il- public life, uninterruptedly, for near thirty years, p[ c ile they dare net attack bis public conduct, but are driven jt .r. to the wretched expedient of ci iiicifmg his political of sentiments, by misquoting his writings. For my pre id part, were I a southern planter, owning negroes, cf9 ie I should be ten thousand times more alarmed at Mr. ly Jeffcrfon's ardent wish for emancipation, than at t ht m Mr Adams's fyflem of checks and balances. Eman- ] y n- ci'pation is a pontile thing : apojlncy to royalifm, ac- C oi it cording to Mr. Jefferfon, i: imp o J,Ue. p 0 I have produced written sentiments of Mr. Jef of 1 ferfon, which will bear as unfriendly a conftru&ion anc '£ to repubheanifm, as any t»ei bfiixed to Mr. Adams's an. P works. I will now call on the" adverfaiies of the fen '' latter to produce, from the works of the former, hac '* a more glowing panegynck on, or a more affedion- soli / ats evidence of attachment to, true 4 y than it to be found in the following passage of Mr. froi \ Adams s Defence. After pointing out, with great difj ? ability, the superior advantages of a republican go- the veiemcnt, he lays, in page 95, " After all, let us to e " compare every conffitution we have seen with Fr< te " those of the United States of Ameriea, and we nee f " have no reason to blush for our couony. Od 'he e " "the contrary, we (hall feel the ftmn.pt we C upon our Knees, to heaven, ftr 18 " having been graciously plpafed to give us birth 'be " and education in that country, and for having def.' all 1 18 <« lined us to live under her laws.
