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.
