114 CHARACTER OF DBMOCRACT II. Very different ■were the forces behind us. Nothing establishes the republican , state save trained capacity for self-gov- ernment, practical aptitude for public affairs, habitual soberness and temper- ateness of united action. When we look back to the moderate sagacity and stead- fast, self-contained habit in seK-govern- ment of the men to whom we owe the establishment of our institutions in the United States, we are at once made aware that there is no communion b...etween their democracy and the radical thought and restless spirit called by that name in Eu- rope. There is almost nothing in common between popular outbreaks such as took place ia France at her great Revolution and the establishment of a government like our own. Our memories of the year 1789 are as far as possible removed from the memories which Eiu"ope retains of that pregnant year. We manifested one hundred years ago what Europe lost, namely, self-command, self-possession. Democracy in Europe, outside of closeted Switzerland, has acted always in rebellion.
