generally adduced as illustrative of that system

maleulate)—England became the seat, such as
it was, of European Liberty.
The portion of authority exercised by the
people through the house of Commons,—faint
as was that recognition of the representative
P rinciple, put abroad a spirit of Liberty un

•f civil liberty, always dearer to a patriot than known to the other divisions of the World
bis life, and without which this earth exhibits a
hideous picture of tyranny and oppression
tut, if Equality is the basis of human rights,—
if Liberty recognizes no distinctions other than
those which are founded on superior intelli
gence, integrity and virtue, then it never exist
ed, cloathea with all its native purity, in the
boasted Republics of antiquity.
The conflicts between Ine patrician and pie-
bean castes,—the distinctiveness of the senate,
‘the heriditary pretentions to its seats,—the se
parate exercise of authority by a plebiscitum or
a senatus consuitum,—the act of the people and
the act of the senate,—these features of the Ro
man institution bear no resemblance to the
beauteous smiling goddess whose votaries we
are. The Roman Republic consisted in a per-
petnal struggle between the real or affected
Triends of the people, and the few who in all
-ages have trampled on the rights of the many.
The distinction between the high born, and
Jew born, was as well known and defined among
these stern republicans as it isnow, in the polish
ed regions of Christian Europe.— The patri
mans were the nobility of Rome as contra-dis
tinguished to the great mass of the people...
There wag no community of interests... It
an incessant effort on the one side to rise,
and on the other to depress. The Roman sys
tem was in short nothing more, than on one
«kand, a haughty aristocracy jealous of the peo
pie and their functionaries, anti on the oth«r, a
vigilant democracy, ever on the alert, to check
-the mad career of patrician ambition.
In the greater part of the states of Greece, we
■gee a different organization of Government , but
fjot the less at variance with the true principles
0 f civil Liberty.—There existed no salutary
_j,eck opon the honest, but loo frequently mis
£U ided and tumultuous deliberations of the ag
gregate people.—It was a wild system ofiin-
-nracticablc democracy, too perfect for human
X a :Ry, because it was predicated o.i ihe ab-
stra c * right of the whole people to enact the
laws which were to affect and operate upon
-thcm se * ves —The impracticability of this sys
tem is nt once obvious to the man of wisdom
-and di iCernn,ent< —perceives that in the
bnge m ass of the assembled people, there can be
no patie nt discussion, and consequently that
the public honesty will be generally more sub
servient to the interested suggestions of the de
magogue, than to tfca mild propositions of the
.patriot Legislator... Hence the Larthquake
shout of an assembled people, has raised an un
principled Themistocles to the apex ot their
favor, and in the same instant banished irom
their presence, the virtuous Aristides —
The people left to the feelings ol their honest
hearts, are ever virtuous,-they mean to pro

When other Kingdoms were groaning under
the uncontrolled,—unchecked ; irresponsible do
mination of despots, the Britfsli subject possess
ed some important rights beyond the reach of
Kingly oppression .... His station contrast
ed with his fellow-creatures of other climes vras
enviable and dignified .. If he looked to:the
other sections for the portion of liberty he eu-
joyed, he looked in vain .... In the East,
man was a crouching slave,—his mind chained
to the altar of a hideouss uperstition,—his
back ever bare for;the tyrant’s scourge.
In the European kingdoms around him he
saw man a submissive feudatory vassal, with no
rights save wliul were reluctantly awarded him
by the influence of Christianity. The Euro
pean therefore was no less irresponsible than
the Eastern despot ;—he could Darter away
his people like a flock of sheep, and he could
spill the last drop of their blood in guility and
impious warfare. There were no restraints
upon his power, his ambition or his vices. The
British subject in thus contracting his political
condition with that of a human being under
other forms of government, felt, as he ought to
have felt, an honest pride, that he was not *• as
other men were.”—He felt, that he bore some
resemblance to the creature, God nad put upon
this earth, to enjoy happiness and Liberty.
With Ihe corroding ulcer's of the political
system. King, Nobility and hierarchy ; there
was still a healing power in this representative
principle, imperfect as it tvas, to communicate
the appearance of health lo the National Liber
ty. Some rays of glory, of hope and consola
tion occa tonally beamed through the dark ho
rizon of the British monarchy
They lighted up the path of thg patriot, and
pointed out the means of amelioration'. Those
means were used by the great men and parlia
ment, which brought Charles 1. to the block,
and abolished the peerage. This was bringing
back government to its original principles,—
and never was England so glorious and free a#
under her evanescent Commonwealth.—The
sway of Comnwell gave it the shadow of a Re
public, but that shadow was sufficiently awtul
to terrify the Kings of Europe.—They knew it
w is the work of toe people, and the people aro
ever enemies to Kings.
The principles of this Revolution, had left an
indelible impression on the maids of a great
portion of the British nation. . They had
taken a .oot bfeyond the reach of parliamentary
regulation—and not to be subverted by the
tempests of the passions.——
Who were they, my tellow Citizens, upon
whose minds these impressions had the most
irrosistable influence.——

America.

Moral causes had already produced thei'f
wonderful effects. Separated from she tainted
government of the old world—-.1000 miles
distant from their mephitic influence, themn
glo-American had already imbibed the true
principles of htunan rights... The book of
Nature lay. open before him. The sublime
scenery of his forests and mountains—the im
mense space slreached before him—all foretold
that here was the seat of a great nation, and
that a beneficient Deity could oat intend this
beauteous domain asm tyrant’s property... Acens
toined to see and commune with his fellow man
as an equal and a brother, the distich naturally

This simple creed of the republicans of Eng
land brought down upon them the lash of intel-
lerance. They fled from the land of their fore
fathers,—they fled from The smiling fields of
Britain, and took refuse in the wilds of Ameri-
f
titude which has become proverbial, in relation
to Republican institutions.
The Patriot and Statesman of antiquity stop
ped short with the acknowledgement of the
people’s sovereignty. The proposition being
admitted, that the sovereignty was in the peo
ple it resulted according to their logic, that the
right to legislate was in the aggregate people.

that the native Ci'izen of United America, nn
matter in what situation of life you rr.av find
b m, has a more acccra e knowledge of rivi
government, than the fust statesman of Eu

y.-—-With him it is a matter nf feeling and

ho'ds it up to you in a tangible and mn'eria
shape ; —with the o./ror it is a raatrer of hy

and is adapted to the meridian ot every com

and had the boldness to disclose them...
These righ s were only half known to the an

Jhe moderns .... It ways reserved tor the
infant, eniighteneJ and heroic Republic of
America, to tear the viel aside, which had ern*

imprescriptible Immunities.—and to expose in
all their disgusting deformity the arcana ofdes*
pots, the hypocrisy of priestcraft, and tbe im
piety of Kings,
Infusing the representative principle into the
acknowledgemeot of the People’s soveteignty,
all i he abuse* of pure democracy, were avoided;
—and abolishing heridtary distinctio n the parti,
tion wall was thrown down which separated one
cla<softhe People from tbe other.——Every
one has therefore a common interest and a Coro
mon Couotiy .... The principle of Equality
leaves the post ot hooct accessible to every
citizen of virtue and capability.—The dogmas
and‘e«ts of religious secarie*, having no es
sential connexion with the charter of Freedom,
no formula of faith is required to qualify the
public fonc'ioosry.... These are among the
primary and fundamental principles upon whose
everlasting foundations are erected the proud
which I now have tbe honor to exhibit.

til he understands the principles of representa

The friends of Liberty were delighted with
the novel and simplified organization of a Fed
eral Republic. Writers had advanced the
hypothesis, that a Republic waso: ly calculated
for certain confined end circumscribed limits,
and tn»t monarchy was the natural government
of extended Empire : Montesquieu- had advanc
ed it, and others had implicitly adopted it. It
was contended and .bcliwcd, and henee was
1-id the foundation of titan's eternal-'degrada
tion, that the internal energies of*Monarchy
alone, could preserve the integrity of a ivida
and extended empire.
It was,again the glorious destiny of America
to prove the fallacy of this last apology of
monarchal and imperial pride ..,...,.. *Sh-p
has demonstrated to un astonished world, that
a federal representative democracy, is not con
fined to specified geographical limits, and that
its vigour and its energies are as polent
and irresistible, as the pretended unity and
decsion of Kngly councils.— .. -She has
demonstrated, that the federal system spreatf-
ing itself over a inighiy nation, ’is not a
philosophical reverie, calculated; fiqrVhe halcy-
on days of peace, from which'- \v.‘ should ha
aroused to meet destruction on the first shock
of internal violence or external aggression —
Federal America has r-ut her s- * r*m to t^
test.—Again did her malignant foe view wift
demoniac envy, the glorious operations of her
Heaven-born Liberty.— Again di.l Rhgland see
tbe energies extending which menaced\he pros
tration of her grey-headed usurpations—En
gland sought the quarrel, ^hc relied omn the
unnatural disaffection of our own people,—she
thought our democracy a splendid bubble, which
the first breath of opposition would dissipate
with every trace of its existence.... She stole
our citizens,—plundered our property;—under
unrighteous expositions of national law, inter
dicted onr eommerc?.—An 1 insultingly repeat
ed, ns far as she was able, the 1-jiiri-s and
wrongs proclaimed in the declaration of Inde
pendence—
Delighting in the palms of :v*nce and Liber*
ty our government was unwil'ing to hrea-t the
tempests of war. .... It feared many of*
those evils which had h»en predicted. It for*
bore as long as its dignity, its hoeorand insult
ed nrid- would suff r it to forb ar. . . . At
length the Republic was compelled t*acknew-
ledge its fear and imbecility, or meet again iit
battle the haughty monarchy of Britain.
When this was the alternative the Republic
did not hesitate to buckle on its armour. —
