PREFACE.
The author of the following work ear
nestly wished to remain unknown ; but
circumstances having rendeml it irnpos-
ible, bis alternative was reduced t.f an
avowal, or an affectation of concealment;
be hopes, however, that no one will be
lieve him to have been induced bv mo
ney, or fame, or any personal considera
tion, except that kind of feeling experi
enced when about to take a last leave of
our friends, we. say to them, “ God bless
you.”
He docs not solicit (he indulgence of
his readers, as lie wishes bis errors to
be corrected • nnr dees he expect any,
except from those whose interest is not
disunited from that of tlx’ society.
The. end of fostering eiemosynary fur.i-
lies has evidently suggested a mode ol
construing our constitutions, w Inch re
quires that such phrases as the following
should be reconciled : “ Sovereign ser
vants—Supreme equality—Unlimited li
mitations—Consolidated divisions—Infe
rior superiority—And desirable mise
ry.” Thus, representative power may
be made despotic ; a coordinate sphere
may be made supreme; convenience, like
the waves produced by a pebble thrown
nioolh water, may be made to undu
late indefinitely—a subordinate judicial
power may start up into a dictator to the
tiite governments ; divisions and limit.t-
tioas of power may he ctfhfounded anti
abolished ; and English lollies are con
verted from objects el our abhorrence
into models of our imitation. Under a
reconciliation between republican and
despotic principles, effected by the new
idea of ” sovereign servants,” our legis
latures are converted into British parlia
ments, daily new-modelling the substance
of our government, by bodies politic ex
individuals and combinations, at their
pleasure.
If our system of government produces
these hitter fruits naturally, it is sub
stnntially European ; and the world, af
ter having contemplated, with intense
interest and eHger solicitude, the experi
ment of the United States, will be sur
prised to find, that no e: periment at nil
has been made ; and that it still remains
to ho discovered, whether a political sys
tem preferable to the British is within
the scope of human capacity. But, if
these fruits are not its legitimate off
springs, but of foreign importation, we
ought to fullil the hopes ol mankind, by
returning to those principles in constru
ing our system, by which it was dictated.
Let us remember that the lucrative par-
inlities of a government, instead of be
ing destroyed by use, like the splendid
fabric# of (ha loom bespangled with gold
and silver to gratify pride and luxury,
become richer and stronger, the longer
they are worn by ambition and avnrice.
The habit rf corruptingfur political
system, by the instrumentality of infer
ence, convenience anil necessity, with an
endless series of consequences attach
ed to them, is the importer of contraband
principles, and the bountiful grantor of
power not given, or withheld by our con
stitutions. It is, therefore, the natural
enemy of our homebred form of govern
ment, and ought to awaken the resistance
of all legislative and judicial departments,
and tlte detestation of every person not
enriched by this ruinous commerce.—
Every lover of our institutions ought to
be a vigilant custom-house officer, and do
his utmost to prevent a heavy govern
ment from being brought in gradually by
these seemingly light skiffs. It is con
venient for the transmission of taxes, that
Congress should create banks; but the
constitution does not delegate to the fe
deral government a power to create po
litical combinations, invested with a pow
er to regulate the wealth and poverty of
individuals. This new powerofindefi
nite magnitude is, however, said to be
conveyed, as n consequence of the cou-
v/nieut mode of removing money. A-
gaiti ; Congress have a power to regulate
commerce ; but the constitutor floes not
delegate to the federal government a
power to make several states tributary
to one, nor a power to make the people
of all the states tributary to orcoinbinatiun
of capitalist#, ronstiti ling, in fact, a hotly
politic, materially affecting the interests
of all'persons. In this case, also, the in
ference is made to bestow a fat greater
power than that from which it is extrac
ted.
The nourishment of exclusive inter
ests, in all .its forms, is the universal
cause which obstructs I lie progress of
political science, and has placed that
winch ought to he the /ifsi in the rear of
human improvements. The emoluments
attached to the ndminiRrution ofcivil go
vernment ate unhappily a sufficient sug
gestion to avaricu muiatnhition, tun: fraud
and oppression tn.iy afford them gratifi
cations. Even this excitement was view
ed by Doctor Franklin as so dangerous to
liberty, that he wished for its suppres
sion, and refused to receive any compen
sation as president of Pennsylvania ; and
Washington would only receive bis ex
penses for all'Tiis services. However
impracticable those speculations may he,
yet the opinions of these great men are
weighty authorities against the policy of
superathling to an unavoidable tempta
tion a host of unnecessary solicitors in
behalf of avarice and ambition, retained
by exorbitant fees paid by the people,
whilst no reward whatever is ollereffto
the advocates for integi ily & moderation.
By this pernicious policy a union is for
med between the mluiinistratinns ol"go
vernments mid corrupted combinations,
creating an impulse towards oppression,
which abstract principle?, however good,
have hitherto been unable to withdraw.
As the brightest beacon may be extin
guished by throwing some hostile ele
ment oil the Ibime, so tlte best principles
are destroyed by fostering their foes.
Yet the argument in firor of exclutivc
privileges is, that it is the l»cst mode by
which knowledge can bo advanced and
arts perfected. Under color of this as
sertion it is said tlml manufactures have
never been introduced into any country,
except bv tho coercion of the govern
ment. Thus, a despotic power of distri
buting wealth and poverty, ns (lie ca
prices and vices of individuals may dic
tate, is artfully coveretl by the pretext,
that it is the best mode of a Ivnncing arts
and scicricea ; hut the truth is, that they
have flourished in proportion as industry
has been free anti property safe. The
gratitude of knouuledgo is, therefore,
due to that power which ha# selected in-
dufltry, and philosophers for its commu
nication. The claim of governments to
lie considered as the apostles of know
ledge, is precisely the same with their
claim to religious apostolic power, and
experienc* has sufficiently proved that
both powers beget oppression.
This is a subject which would fill a
hook of no small size, and therefore a
nl principle, Ibil governments Might te
have a power of granting e*clii»ire pri
vileges. Yet it is highly worthy of pub
lic considerntinn.-^-rrivileges imply a
general deprivation. To take away in
order to bestow, is merely to pull down
w ith one hand for tbo purpose of buil
ding up with the other, if the deprivation
discourages as much induatry, a» the
privilege will excite.---1 heie political
rout! adictions would then neutrgliw each
other. But, if the discouragement ope
rates upon greater number* than the
privilege, ns is always the ca#e, i* bal
ance arises unfavorable to industry, arts’,
aud sciences. Hence, they have flour
ished as exclusive privileges have de
creased, and dw incited where they a-
hound. The abolition of a vast number
of feudal and hierarchical privileges gave
them a great impulse in England, and a
gradual multiplication ofpecfirnlaW privi- .
leges since, has brought the same coup-
try to a state of misery, vv hit h may in
volve them m the same general ronvul-,
rion. Is this misery, or the mysterious
advance# of knowledge and liberty, the
best hostage tor their improvement ?—
These have co-extensively pushed for
ward all arts and sciences aided or un
aided bv the patriotism of gnvenments, .
anil agriculture has kept pace with thn
rest, under exaction# and withuut boun
ties. This concern it ancy ascertain# a'com-
tnnn cause, establishes the ascendancy of
knowledge, and explode# the necessity
for the partialities of governments, or
the policy of dispensing general evil, to
enrich selected sects. After the dark
ages a manufacturing superiority appear
ed in Italy and France, without any spe
cial patronage from their disorganized
governments, because those countries
surpassed’the rest of Europe in know
ledge ; and several English king# tried
unsuccessfully /o rival it by legal co
ercions. The revocation of the edict of
Nantes at length expelled a great ntas# of
manufacturing knowledge from France,
and supplied England with (he leading
cause of manufacturing prosperity ; from
litis epoch she dates hers. The im
provements of machinery in England
were the work of individual knowledge
and industry, after her prohibitory sys
tem had become nominal. The wonder
ful art of ship building, carried to suchi
perfection in the Unitpd' State#, propo
sed to he cheeked by commercial restric
tions, proves that when the knowledge
of an art is obtained, it is only necessary
that it should correspond wi;h the inter
est of indit idnals. Compute and com
pare the progress of the United States in-
the. arts end sciences, in about thirty
tears, with the progress of Europe > du-t
ring a similar space, nnd anticipate its
/I a h in six centuries, during which Eu-’
tope has been employed in effecting lier ?
nttuinm.'nte. To whnt can the vast dif-,
ferrnce in velocity toward excellence be
ascribed, hut to a greater freedom of in
ti lloct and industry ? Why, then, should
tve substitute for these, avarice and.
fraud, as letter teachers of art# and sci
ences ? . 1
Alexander of Russia a few years past,
asserted the right of all states to internal
self-government, mid entered into a trea
ty w ith the Cortes of Spain, to guaran
tee the constitution they had made.—
Now, to advance the interest of a com
bination of monarch#, he renounces his
principle and his honour, and even for
bids '.he penitent Ferdinand to sveknow-
ledge vvliat he had as-erted, and to con
firm what he had guaranteed. The fe
deral constitution as expressly guaran
tees to the states the right of internal self-
government. ; but a mode of construc
tion is introduced to advance the interest
ef mercenary combinations. Is not tlia
analogy between the Russian and this
mode of construction apparent l Tha
dillerences are, that Alexander proposes
to overturn principles aud a compact, by
force, nnd constrtu tion nets by sap ; ha
adheres to the interest of hereditary
monarch# ; construction to the interest
of exclusive privileges. The impor
tance of these differences may be ascer
tained by comparing force with fraud,
and a confederacy of foreign kings, with
a confederacy of domestic parasitical
privileges. Whatever may be the re
sult of (his comparison, it can offer us
nothing but the old alternative between
monarchy and aristocracy, and almost all
w riters have agreed, that the former is
to be preferred.
Against all such inodes of construction,
as being adverse both to republican
principles, und’our positive institutions,
