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. But
as the old faying is sic transit gloria mundi.

" That having, in our avocations,
requent oecafioi-js to recur totbe Journals of Con
jrefs, we experience inconvenience by the fcarci
y of them : That we undcrftand that Richard
<olwell, printar, of Philadelphia, has had it in
:ontemplati©n to print that public record; and
:hat he hath obtained partial countenance from ma
ny individuals; but that he has delayed profeca
:ing the work, in expedadbn of encouragement
from government* that may adequately indemnify
him. We, therefore, refpe&fnlly lolicit, as the
publication is neceflary to be difleminated among
public bodies, that Congrcfs will, in their wisdom,
render him such additional encouragement, to that
which he has obtained from private individual*,
as to enable him to proceed with the woHc.fo that
your MemorialiUs may he enabled to pur chafe co
pies of that record for rhemfelves.
