In England, as Burke said; the people have!
nothing to'do with the laws but to ob 4 them.'
Whereas in republics, the people who feel the !-
evils of bad gaernment have the phwer to!
remedy them ; and are ever vigilent tikrefore,
in the in'areli 'of improvements for theiperfee- ;
tutu or their institutions.; Thin aceos for
our constant innovations, and for the progress
o f democracy. •
Civilization therefore, is farther advanced
here, than in any other part of the wurlp where!
the people do not govern themselves. There'
appears to be a .prineirle of biter-reprd t duction
of intelligence, proceeding from the (iteration I
of the self-governing power. exercised ;Ton it- I
self. Thus, people having the care et their
own liberty, are always qualifying theimselvesj
to preserve it and c - onsequently are becoming
more enlightened. Campbell in conversation'
with Lester, speaking. of, the; great ifoets of
England, expresses his siirpri.e that America
has never produced any great poets. He said
that the talentTof-Aviericausr, like that liberty
and wealth appears to bodistributed anlong all ;
and he understands that every man here rani
write some poetry.' True, in the United States:
there is no tniquality of - rank.or condition ; and
the minds of the people do therefore fain them
selves after the same model. Whereaslin Eng-
land, all the liberty and privileges are honfiried'
to the few, and it would he remarkable if
, among tlketn she did not produce some great'
men. But it is like scraping the soil into heaps,
with the view of deriving an extrOrdinary:
:growth out of the country's spoils. And in
deed the most enlightened ages hati never
been reMarkable for great poets. — Poqry is to
science what blossoms are .to the f)mit ; it,
makes the spring-time of iaiviliaation delightful, ;
but must always be sacrificed to gain ihe fruit
of knowb dge. As blosstims :,excite desire for
the ripe fruit, so does poetry the etithuttiasni of
the itnaginatimi, without instructing tile mind.
Both however, promise fruit of their reSpeetive,
kinds at a future time. Hence we soinetimes
see the modest lover resorting to the shades of:
a favorite grove, to cull flowers and 4orcposei
lines for his doxy) as emblematical n desire,i
and expectation. Once, ;on hearing Fjrgil re
cite the sixth book, of his Aneid, Octavio., over- !
come with sorrow, faintitd away; boa,* on re-;
covering was so delighted that she p/esented;
the poet with ten sesterces for eaehpine, a
mounting in all to upwards of two thousand I
pounds sterling. Bence, we conclude Oat po
etry is the escape, - of passions ; and even •in
modern times, disappointed:lovers givti vent to
their passion thrmigh that 'medium ; - although
it is not to be compared; to the scapeinent of
the deeper-glowing passiions of a rude/ age. j
