MR. ftNSO,
HAVING (hewed my gooi y.i'Arir: by laughing
at the weak and idolatrous fl-utery Willi
which fume of your correl'pondents have beljj-c
---tered the Government of the United States, or
which the Government really stands in no ueeu,
and therefore h3S 110 rcafon to thank tlie.a
it—and my gull and vinegar in endeavoiing to
expose the arts made use of, from the brilliancy
and wisdom of the aduvniftiation, to draw oti
'the eye* of the people, from those defedts which
have been pointed hue in the Conltitutiun iii--Jl.
I (hall m;"« endeavor to {hew the true meaning
of a term, which one of your correfpondtfiits ac
cufcs us.of tiling improperly, to wit, the word
/irijtocrat,
He fays that men of worth and talents arc cal
led Ari(tocr3ts—but I am sensible he does not in
this iintance do jntUce to the public opinion—
for although an Ariiiocrat may be a man o! ta
lents, he can never be a man of worth ; nor do I
believe there is one iaftance in a thoiifand ot a
man of real worth being niiitaken for* or called,
an Ariltocrat. But as your correlponslent lup
poles that niiltakes of this kind do happen, it
may not be aniifa to attempt to delineate this cha
racter in so plain a manner as to prevent Inch
mutates for the future.
Arirtocracy is a word of Greek derivation, and
fignifies the power of a few, or in the hands of a
few, in opposition to Democracy, which fignifies
the people, or in the hands of the people. An
Arijhcrat, therefore, rtiuft mean one who wishes,
qr has a difpoiiiion, to take the power as much
%s possible oat of the hands of the people, and
place it in the hands of tht few ; and in whomfo
e*er we can discover thardifpofition, 1 think we
cnnnot be roiftaken in calling him an Arijiocrat.
The only powers, in representative govern
ments, like ours, wjtiich the people can. with any
propriety retain in their hands, are those of
eJetfting their reprel'entatives, and that which
tbey exercise as jurors.
And if any one (hall by any means endeavor so
to modify the elertiens, as to out of the
power, ot the body ps the people !o exercise that
privilege with propriety and fufety, we may ve
ry.Cafe ly call him an Arijlocrat.
Whoever, therefore, in an extensive country
like this, (hall advocate large election diltricls,
which will oblige the b >dy of the people to vote
under the dirfctftion and guidance of a few, you
cannot be miltaken in feitijig him down for an
AriJitter at.
If any one shall oppose a numerons represen
tation in the. government of an extensive conn -
try, f'ou need not be afraid of a misnomer in cal
ling him an ArijSocrat.
If any man will support, upon any occasion, a
mode of election, whether such election is. to be
made by Congress, by a Legifluture, or the pen
pie, which will evidently pnt it in the power of
a minafiijf of the ele«siors to contronl a chuice,
«r prevent one, you may be sure that you call
him by a wrong name, if you give hiui any other
than that of an Arifiocrat.
If you hear any one speak lightly of the trial
by jury, or fee him consent to, or do any thing
■which will tend to vitiate or abridge that privi
'e y® u W >H not he liable to an aiftion of slan
der for calling him an Aristocrat.
If any one thai) hold that bills of rights, and
proper conftituiional reservations in favor of the
people, ate rather dangerous reftiictions on the
power of doing good, than salutary checks upon
the power of. doing harm, you may write after
hi* name, in capital letters, AN ARISTOCRAT.
If anj onefhonld attempt to perfuadetlie peo-
their rights and privileges are not f;\fe
while kept in their own hands, but that they
ought to give them up intirely into the hands
•fid custody of the great and [he well informed
I4on't know what else you could call him but an
/irifl ocrat.
_ If any one difcovijjprs a fondncfs for keeping up
titles and Hiftiniftions, which will have a tenden
cy to induce tliofe pofTefted of them to look upon
tViemfelres as exalted above the common claf's of
citizens, yqu may fafely conclude that he is in
clined ro be an 4(rijlocrat.
If any holds the opinion,' that government is
oefigned more to enrich and aggrandize rtie ru
lers than to promote (lie interests and happiness
9f the people, you may be very sure that he is
DO ctiieiny to an Jriflocrat.
. It any one looks upon the word Democrat as a
term of reproach, and ventures to-make nfe ot it
.as facb, he must undoubtedly bepleafed with be
ing tailed an Ariflocrat.
And I think that you cannot poflibly be mif
faken in letting him down for one, who (hall tell
you that in this country there is no such thing as
an Arijloerat. 6
i If any one ihnuld take offence at this publica-
Oon so benevolently intended to prevent the
public from f.rfmingwron S and unfavorableopi-
Jnons of men <»f wonh and talents, 1 (hall leave
tne people to determine whether they will or will
not-cajl lyra aw drijlccrat. a Respondent.
