THE Constitution is the firft and supreme law of the land. It ia that law which calls into existence every organ of government. It is a guide to the governors, as well as to the govern ed ; it serves to lhew the firft the extent ot their power, and to point out to tl/? people, when they have overleaped the bounds of delegated author tv. II the constitution does not perfectly aniwer those ends, it is not fuftkiently expres sive. There is 119 human inllitution that will not weaken under the impref fionoftime. Its decay must be more rapid, when the ambition of one, and the paflions of many, fliall add to this na tural imperfedlion. Montefquie fays, that the Jaws should be peculiarly severe against those vices, molf prevalent in any country ; so should the fundamental principles of all enlightened countries, be molt watchful of that organ of its go vernment, which is liable to ofiend against the others; or to make encroach ments upon the retained rights of the people. As we firft ltated the dve and executive departments under our present fyltem, are the only depart ments that canatt wrong with impunity ; we will then examine, from which of those we have molf danger to dread. The members of our national legislature, are appointed, either by the people at large, by the, individual states, or by their representatives. They are per sonally known ; they are not fufheient ly exalted to borrow afliftance from that veneration and refpeft, with which power inverts men. Add to this, that emulation which will ever prevail, in our senate and house of repreientatives, and we need not dread any thing iron* this branch of our government. T hey may be the instruments, but they can never be the principals. The executive of the United Stares, is that power, which without fome change in our constitution, will oreday enguiph the liberties of the people* The people are increasing in wealth, luxury will effeminate them ; a love of money will expel from their minds the love of liberty. The influence of the molt popular characters, are generally confined to their own states; it requires an accumulation of circumstances, to raise a man to the dignity of Preiident. When once seated in that situation, hi# influence in the government will r.ecef farily create friends ; his adherents and dependants are scattered in different situations, and under difterent names, from New-Hamplhire to Georgia.— The opponent of the man in office, must encounter a thousand difficulties to trans plant him ; difficulties that will not ap pear by merely reflecting upon elections carried on thro’ the different States in dividually. There both parties are known, their merits may be weighed. Suppose that a man from Mdflachufetts, was now to propose himfelf as a candi date for the Presidency ; he can be but little known to the electors of the southern states : consequently there would be but little probability ofhis suc ceeding. It is by flow and imperceptible chan ges in our government that the liberties of the people are tobe subverted. G rear revolutions are not now the effects of a Angle aCt. The independency of the United States of America was growing into birth from the year 1762. The monarchy of France was verging to an end from the minority of Louis the XV. If that article of our Constitution, which regulates the appointment ofa President, had forbidden his re-election, perhaps nothing then could have deprived us of our retained rights. But as our consti tution now Hands, we eleCl a President for life. A much refpeCted man, from the confidence reposed m him by the peo ple, will receive, or, unreceivd, will ex ecute a considerable portion ot that pow er which is delegated to the other bran ches of government. His successor in office be ne who, or what he may, will exercise the fame powers : Thus errors become fanftioned ; thus a door is open ed for abuse toenter ; that gradually de -1 ftroys the ftatc. When these circum No. 16.
