*--TO P. MAZZEI, April 24, 1796 TO P. MAZZEI. Monticello, April 24, 1796. Mr Dear Friend, ***** [* The first part of this letter is on private business, and istherefore omitted. ] The aspect of our politics has wonderfully changed since you left us. In place of that noble love of liberty and republican government whichcarried us triumphantly through the war, an Anglican monarchical andaristocratical party has sprung up, whose avowed object is to draw overus the substance, as they have already d...one the forms, of the Britishgovernment. The main body of our citizens, however, remain true to theirrepublican principles: the whole landed interest is republican, and sois a great mass of talents. Against us are the executive, the judiciary, two out of three branches of the legislature, all the officers of thegovernment, all who want to be officers, all timid men who prefer thecalm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty, British merchantsand Americans trading on British capitals, speculators and holders inthe banks and public funds, a contrivance invented for the purposes ofcorruption, and for assimilating us in all things to the rotten as wellas the sound parts of the British model.
