Thomas Jefferson, writing from
I avis in 1787, to James Madison,
said; , t
“ I own I am not a friend to a very
energetic government. It is always
oppressive. It places the Governors,
indeed, more at their ease at the ex-
se uf ibe people. The late rebel-
cbnsetls has_giyep more
nlffm . thfen I thintf^t shoiild" have *-
done. Calculate that one rehellion in
thirteen States in the course ot eleven
years fo but one for each State in a
century and a half. No country should
be so long without one. Nor will any
degree of power in the hands of the
government prevent insurrections. Iu
England, where tho hand of power is
heavier than with us, there arc,3eldom
half a dozen years without an isnur-
rection. In France, where it is still
heavier, but less despotic, as Montes
quieu supposes, than itricorne other
countries, and where there are always
two or. three hundred thousand men
ready to crush insurrections, there
have been three m t he Connie of the
three years I have been hetej in every*
one of which greater numb^er*-were
ensaged than in Massachusetts, arid a
great deal more-' blood spiifc. In Tur
key, where tbe sole nod of. the despot.-
i«. death, insurrections are the events-
of. every day. . Compare again -the
ferocious depredations of their i;isup- *
aeuts. with the order, the rooddrari»H •
and. the almost self-extinguishment 0 j
ours. Aral ?ay, finally' whether peace •
is. best preserved by giving energy to
the Govern men t or rafornm tion to the
people. Tim -last is the most certain
aud the most legitimate engine of gov- y
ero*i ent. Educate and inform the -
yvlmle mass of the people. Enable
them to see that tt is their interest to
j preserve peace and order, and then!
they will preserue them. And its
requires no very high degree of edu
cation to convince them, of this. They -
are the only sure reliance for the pro--
nervation of our liberty.” ;
