Switzerland, which had disencumbered herself from the supremacy of Austria, had succumb- ed to the conquering genius of Gallic ambition. It is the misfortune of such political prophets as I have refered to, that they do not understand the applica- tion of the tenets or doctrines, which they extract from the chronicles of various ancient and modern communities. Our government is one of its owa species. It may truly be asserted, that nothing Vikff it in pohtics is known. The representative princi...ple was reserved for the discovery of North America alone, and it did verily ennoble its authors, as the discovery of the new Continent, has immortalized the name and fame of Columbus. In none of the ancient republics, w^re the people justly represented. Their controul or check on the men in office, was merely nominal, if even so. Aristocracy, was a pro- minent feature of the Roman Republic. The Patri- cians were a distinct order, and the Plebeians were but subordinate to them, in right and privilege.— i- The Consul or Dictator, had powers perfectly incon- sistent with what an American Magistrate would be allowed to hold, or acknowledged to be entitled to.
