a base cheat ! it is a bastard ! or if born legitimately, has, through erroneous education, licentious indulgence, and imbibation of every species of wrong sentiment, become disfigured in face, deformed in shape, in mind diseased, and morals depraved ! But more than aught else, the rapid declension of our people from all that truly elevates them in the scale of humanity, that gives nobil ity to the soul and dignity to man, which teaches him to look aloft, and aspire to higher aims, lies in the ...mistaken character of our govern ment. It seems beautiful in theory, but in practice is bad. It was established on the supposition of a high and increasing state of intelli gence and virtue among the whole community, which sort of basis, books give no account has ever yet existed on this globe ; and judging from the slow progress human nature makes in perfecting itself, I do not perceive, that any such bright millennium sort of period will arrive for innumerable ages to come.
