ATatime v btn Mr. Jtfferfonis fuon
tx .tsclcd to retire from the head of our
affa',.B ; at a time when a nomination
•>f bis fucceflor is ab nit to the
attention of our country, a fuccefTr,
whose adminiflration perhaos may not
he so favorable to ufeful innovation;
at such a moment it behoves us to
turn our attention once more to the
>- reat principles of our governmnit and
the dcfci'.l* of our ronftitutirn but who
could so eff-ftingly add refs his country*
men on tills very interesting fuljedt, as
th: great man who b’ queathed the follow,
ing lrjracy for the ir.ftrudtion of Ills coun
try ? This letter is repnbblhed from the
“ Examiner whom it is impollible to
name without acknowledging the high
gratitude, which it merits from the re
publican cause.
Although one of my age* can have
little to hope, and hfs to fear, from
Grrm of government, as rather belonging
to the next world than the present ; and
poflibly may lie charged with iutermed.
ling v/nere he hivi no interell, whenever
he utters opinions concerning facial re
gulations ; yet I feel impelled by an
anxious dr urt to promote the happiness
of my count! y, to submit to the public
on liiliiction, tome tefltdlions on our
p'-'i'.nf political (late.
It is f.r from my intention to damp
tlic pnt.iic joy, cccalioued by the late
changes ol onr public agents, or to
ddli rb the calm which already presages
ihr mofl b< .'.. Stial eonfcquences ; on the
contrary, 1 con/ilcr this event as having
arrclled a Irani of meafurcs wiiic/i were
gradii.dly conducing us towards ruin.
These changes will be matter of ten
fold congratulation, if vte make the pro
proper ule of them: If iuftead of neg
hgently reposing upon that wisdom and
integrity, which have already foftened
even political malice, we fcize the oppor
tunity to emit new barriers agamil folly,
fraud arid imbition ; and to explain such
ports of the coi ftjluuon, ?s have been
already, or may be interpreted contrary
to the intention of liiofc who adopted it.
This proportion docs not argue a
want of proper confidence in our present
Chief Msgilbate, hut the contrary. It
can be no censure to believe that he has
a nobler deiliny to fulfill, than that of
making his coutempory countrymen hap
jy for a few years ; and that the rare
event of such a character at the head of
a nation, impofea on us the sacred duty
of ieizing the prnpituous opportunity, to
do all in our power to perpetuate that
iuq piuefs : as to that fpecira of confi
deece, which would exiiuguilh free en
qniry and popular watclifulncfs, it is
never defiled by palriutifm , nor ought to
be yielded by freemen.
In puriuit of our purpose, we ought
to keep in mind certain principles which
arc believed to be found ; to enquire
whether they have been violated under
the conilttution ? and then confider how
a lepetuion of thole violations may be
picvcnted—As thus,
I. Government is instituted for the
good if thf community, and not t j gra
tify avarice or ambition ; therefore uu.
neceiljry increase ot debt—appointment
of uiclcis oliicers, such as lfationary
niiniilers to torcign courts, with which
we have little connexion, and iilteen ad
oitioual judges at a time when the be fi
nels ot the I‘ederal Courts had greatly
diininilheti—and engaging us in war a
broad, tor the l ike of advancing party
projects at home, are abuses in govern
ment.
11. The chief good derivable from
government, ia civi h.'erty ; and if go
vernment is 1> couftructed, as to enable
its adminiilrators to afTul that liberty
with the feverai weapons molt fatal to it,
the ftruCture is defectiv. ; of this fort,
binoditig Armie.—Fleets—lovere Penal
Laws—War—and a multitude of Civil
Olfiveis, arc utiiveitally admitted to be ;
and it our government can, with case and
impunity, array these forces againtl fo
etal ibertv, the coullitution i? dt -Alive.
UI Peace is undoubtedly that date
which puipofes to fociuy the be it
tin ttce for the continuance of heedotn
and happ.’iteis ; and the situation of A
uurica is Inch, as to expose her to fewer
occafiotis lor w ar, than a. \ other nation ;
whoit it aito dilables her irotn gaittii g
any thing by war. But if, by indirecT
means, (he executive can involve us in
war, not deelaicd by ti.e legiiLuire ; if
a treaty may be made, which will inci
dentally produce a war, aud the legiila.
tine are bound to pals all laws necctlary
to give it lull cfleet ; ur if the judiciary
may determine a war to cxilt, although
the hgitiaiure hath refilled to declare it ;
then the coiiltituiiou is defective; rtnee
u admits conftrudions which pawn our
and liappinrls upon the feeurity
o’ executive patiioidin, which is iucon
fident with republican principles.
IV. Union is certainly the basts of
our po'iutesl profpcrity, and this can on
ly be prtfervea by confining, with prcci
fioti, the tcdcral government to the tx
ctcile ol powers clearly required by the
general intereif, or rclpettmg foreign na
tions, and the ttate governments to ob
jects ol a local nature ; bceaufe the dates
exhibit such varieties of character and
intcrdl. that a couiolicated general go
vernmer.t would be in a perpetual con
llid with Hate ititerells, from its want ot
local knowledge, orAroma prevalence ot
local prejudice or intctetl, lo as certainly
*o proouce civil war and ditunion. It
theu the diiltnct provinces oi the geueial
and ttate governments are not clearly de
tinea ; it the former may aGail the latter
by pns't’a, an Jby obs >Mn all fub
j-*itts of taxation -ti a fytl-m l; fug to
cjnfali lation, may be firm- 1 aid pu*-
sued, —nd if, infiead of leaving it to th-.
refpecitve Sites to encourage th.ir agri
culture or manufactures as their local
intcrell m?y dictate, the general govern
rnent may by bounties or protecting <’u
tits, tax the one to promote the other j
then the constitution has no*, fuffi.ienlly
provided for the continuance of the u
uion, by fecuriug the rights of the flute
governincats and local in'.ere(ls.
V. It is tiecifra.-y for the preftrva
tion of republican government, that the
Icgiflative, executive, and judiciary pow
ers should be kept f pirate aid diilinct
from each otber, so that no man, or body
of men, fh,ill be air honied to exercise
more ttian one of them at the fame
time: theconftituti.on therefore, in con
figningto the federal fcr.atc, a participa
tion til the po jeers of eaeti depa -nt,
violates his important principle, and
tends to create in that body, a dangerous
arittocracy. And
V I. An efientia! principle of reprefen
tative government is that ;t b: influenced
by the will of the people ; which wiil
can never be exprelied, if their reprtfen
tativen are corrupted, or influenced by
hopes ofoffice. If this hojie may mul
tiply ofS:e3 and extend patronage —if
the preli jtnt may nominate to valuable
offices, members of the who
(hall pieafe him, and d.fpLafe the peo
ple, by tncrealing his power and j utrut
age—if he may he tempted to ute his
power jad patronage far securing ha re
election—and if lie rn::y even below lu
crative diplomas upon judges, whilst they
are receiving liberal faUrits, paid as the
price cf their independence and putity :
ther a risk exifis, left the lcgiflature fliouid
leg:fljte—the judges decide—and the
leuaie concur m nomit.atiors, with an
eye to tbofe offices—and e.t the presi
dent tr.ay appoint with a view to ins re
election ; and thus may at length appeal
the phenomenon, of a government, re
pub'iir an iti form, without poffclfnig - fm
gle ch.iite organ tor exprtliing tile pub
lic will.
Many of these ol>;’Ctions wer: farc
fetn, when the|coriltitution was ratified,
by those who voted for its adoption ; but
waved then, because ot the vail impor
tance of the union, which a r j .ehon
might have placed in hazard—of tiir p o.
vision n.ade far amendments as tiial
should difeover detects—an! the hope
that in the mean time, the inlt ‘ -lent
with all its defids, might product locial
happiness, if a proper tone i. given to
the government, by the fcvtiai agents in
its. operation ; But fir.ee experience lies
evinced, that much mtfehief may be
done under an unvvde admimflration,
and that even the molt valuable parts
of the tonftitution, tr.ay be evaded or vi
dated, we ought no longer to rei our se
curity upon the vain hope which depends
on the reftitude of fallible men in succes
sive admiaifirations. I’ut now that the
union is as Sriniy eftabl.tiled by the gene
ral opinion of the citizens, as we can e
ver hope it to be, it behoves us to bring
forward amendments, which may fix tt
upou principles cap:.hie of n(training hu
man fraduts.
I! ivtug, 1 trull, fliewn the utility and
nectfli y of such efforts at this tine, I
wii;. .venture to submit to the confide
ration of my reltow citizeus with great
tiumiltty aud deference, whether it would
not be ad n.cable to have the couftitu
tiou amended.
i li. By rendering a president inclligibl.
far the next term, and transferring
from him to the legislature, the ap.
poiiitrnent of the judges, and itationa.y

of the latter to be 1.0 longer dilcreti
ouary in the president.
2. By depriving the Senate of all Ex

4. By forming fotne cheek upon the
abuse of public credit, which, though in

Armies, may, like tiiofe, be carried to
extremes dangerous to hb.rty, and m

A gentleman in one of the pi
