Statesmanship-
In comparing the great men of our
country who have taken prominent
part in framing our constitution and
laws of government with those of
other countries America will certain
ly not suffer in the comparison, but
enn produce as ciTicient and able
statesmen as auy othe r county. This
is almost a marvel, for in the early
history of our country we were labor
ing under great ilisadvant ages. Our
population was not by any nu-ans of
one nationality, institutions of learn
ing we re scarce compared with other
older established governments, we
had not experience to full back on,
but our state smen had to be chosen
in a large degree from among the
men who were following the ir daily
avocations of mechanics and farm
ers. It was a great jump. for the
woodman to be called on to lay down
his ax', and the farmer to leave his
plough, in order to legislate for his
fellow citizens, and tho re-sources
they had to fall back eui was only
sound e-oniinon se-nse ami the ince n.
tive to prote ct the ir homes and fami
lies. This leads us then to notice
that a man may have learning and
expe rie nce but if he is not possessed
ef good common sense and sound
judgement he is not what can be
termed a good stuteman. A legisla
tor has the great difficulty on hand
of framing such laws as shall benefit
all cl asses of society and at the same
time injure none-. He must intro
duce new laws and frame new ideas
in such a manne r as not perceptibly
to interfere w ith old establishe d cus
toms so as to make too radical a
change, and right here is where his
common sense must be applied.
This has always been the great draw
back to the French nation, their
statesmen have always bee-n lacking
in the tact of legislating by degrees
and educating the masses up to re.
form and entertain different vi-ws
in governmental affairs by stages,
but try and e tb ct these changes by
ene swee p. They try to jump from
the most absolute and exacting mon
arehy to the greatest extreme and
liberal republic. They either carry
their religious ideas almost to the
extent of fanaticism or launch at one
stroke intoavowe d infidelity. What
has bee n the reMilt of these radical
changes? Generally carnage, an
ure-hy, bloodshed and ruin. It takes
very little sometim-s to fall into an
error and make a big mistake in
framing a law; but it takes years of
careful and judicious legislation to
abolish an old-time custom in such a
manner as to be acceptable to the
masses, even if that custom is an
acknowledged tviL
