Jppr ALBANY, June 7. \ While " aristocracy ! aristocracy has buij arid continues to ba the burthen of the jacouin.c long, it may notbeamifs to notice a few of the grounds on which.have origina ted that abuse and heftility which have af laiVd and been inflrumental in deflroying ir.titutions-, the fabricators of which were influenced by the ptireft motives of regard to the public weal and public honor, to all that freedom confident with justice, and the fe cial and sacred duties of man. In the admi n itraticn of eleftive governments, the pow er necessary to be delegated for the promotion and k-curity of those great ends for which fyf ems ot control are eftablilhed, must be Confined to a number more limited, than the individuals whole natural and acquired ta lents are such as render them capable of fpeajcipr- the public voice, and .directing to the befl advantage tlie public wish. Ta lents, however, are uot always the criterion of integrity and virtue : hence the disap pointed in relpefl to honors and preferment, and who seek these not for the good which wid result to the community from the dif tharge of their incumbent duties, but from motives of individual gratification and ag grandizement, are Feftlrfs under difeppoint ment, and facrifice truth a-nd.honefty to corrupt the public opinion. Imaginary evils are fuft made the balls of popular'alarm, and dii'content is excited not on acetmnt erf-the experience of oppression or inconveniencies, but on the ground that misfortunes mill be the result of the measures pursued by those .n authority : thus is the way paved for that condu<£l on the part ot the people, or a por tion of them, which may render farther go - 1 nmental reflraint necessary to prelervethe fyltem which upholds the civil and political rights and privileges a nation.. Dema gogues, and disappointed office hunters, in former days, made the people the dupes of their artifices, and laid the foundation of those vices which undermined, and finally overthrew republican forms, and tyranny was eflablifhed upon their ruins. If the sys tems of free governments formerly eflablifh ed, are examined, it will be found in mofl inflances, that the design of the framers, was to secure to the'people those bleflings H hich may be enjoyed from equal rights, as refpea the protection of life and property, and the due adminiftrtion of juflice ; and ■Where is the instance which can be resorted to for controverting the position that, when changes, embracing more coercion, have taken place, the departure of ths people from that virtue, without the prevalence of which free governments cannot exist, has been the cause of fuih changes. In our own country, numerous have been the bugbears begotten by a firftion to render the people discontented with their rulers, and to prepare the way for a change o£ men and cf measures—and tho' fufficient virtue and pod sense have hitherto influenced the ma jority to give to the government their deci ded support, yet it must b« owned, that the villainous arts of the leaders of faftion have excited difcontejit i n various quarters, and rendered the adoption of such laws abfolu'e ly neceflary as might otherwise never have found a place in the American code. It is judfied true, if the people will fuffer them feves to be afted upon io far as to prefer the councils of men whose language and con d-d bespeak hostility to the delegated autho rities—if they will confide in declaiming de magogues and disappointed seekers for office, and feed a jcaloufy agai'nft the rulers chosen by the major part, that the majority may be forced into measures effectually to check those evils, by power, which virtue and pro priety may be unable to contrpul. This has been the cafe in other states once free ; and no jufl reason can be assigned against the probability os-its being the lot.of this coun ty to witness a system less mild and happy than is at pre sent enjoyed, Ihould the vices engendered by fadion take root too deep to Ije eradicated by the aids which our national authority at present supplies. Mr. Madison of Virginia, was the author of an answer to the address of General Washington, to the firft Congress under t'.ic new Coriftimtion, after h : s acceptance of the Presidency in that an fiver Mr. Ma dison remarked, that America must bold her. Srif responsible for the destiny of Republican Liberty, Madison was then a federalift .utlikefome individuals in this and other Gates, chagrin at not being appointed to office induced him afterwards to range himfelfun the banners of opposition—and thus to favour the views of a faftion who have left iio meafui-e unefTayed to render the destiny of Republican Liberty such as to be avoided, rather than courted, by the nations of the earth. But the early sentiments 'of Mr. Madison have hitherto preponderated with the majority of the people, and at the pre (cnt day 'tis hoped are gaining ground, in op position to principles which he advocated as- er his regeneration. In Virginia, his in fluence, combined probably with the influence not only of the Philosopher of Monticello, but also the exertions of the the cidevant ple liipo. to the Great Nation, and those of the citizen of*' precious confessing" memo- have not been able to prevent that state fronj returning nine decidedly federal charad t re as Members of the next Congress. Virgi nia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and (iejrgia, in the la It Congress, furniflied a ma- i irity of 19 democrats in their delegation fiich his been the change of public opinion that the delegation from th'ofe states, to the next Gon.n-efs, gives a majority, of nine ii lends and fupporters'of the American Go- •vrnmeiit and its Adminiftfation. In ff.s paragraph -i.ntuediately preceding, jti&itacv irom f> dernl principles is traced to Appointment in regard to office. Who ■'-is not believe, had " ■iiied the ConiptroSlerihip, that his zeal in i!f of men ana federal ir.efifures jud have burned with its former distin- g.irbcd light; and that his detestation of Ja cobins would have ffill led hiin to bestow up on them all those epithets with which the mofl: apparent contumely and hatred of their persons, as well as principles, used to inspire him ? and who does not believe, that, had a certain great law charatter obtained a diplo ma tic million to England, the Clintonian coalition would never have taken place, and his footfteps have been flill traced in the fe deral path ? and beyond all doubt too, inflead of the blazing eloquence of Edward, having been witnessed iu Congress against the alien and sedition laws, he would have flood forth the decided champion of flill more energetic measures on the part of the government.
