This dim understanding further appears, in that after all the politicaldiscussion which has been, the success of republican institutions isstill appealed to, as vindicating the reign of justice and benevolencein the public mind; mankind have within so much of the divine, are soself-disposed to do right, that they do not need much control, but maypretty safely be left to their own guidance. Nor is it left to themere demagogue to talk thus.
Doubtful it may be, whether it should be called dimness ...ofunderstanding, or rather perverse ingenuity, that men reason thus, whenthe facts are: So general is the disposition to abuse power, thatwherever it is accumulated, it will surely be abused; accordingly itmust be distributed as equally as possible. If government be made thebusiness of one part of the community--one tenth, or one hundredth, orone thousandth--that part will inevitably exalt self, at the cost ofthe others. So strong is self-love, turned towards temporal interests, so acute to discern what tends to the one desired end, and so sure tobend every thing that way, that men's temporal interests are prettysafe in their own hands, and safe no where else.
