It is still however true, that war •From The National Gazette, February 2, 1792. 1792] JAMES MADISON. 89 -contains so much folly, as well as wickedness, that much is to be hoped from the progress of reason ; and if any thing is to be hoped, every thing ought to be tried. Wars" may be divided into two classes: one flowing from the mere will of the government, the other according with the will of the society itself. Those of the first class can no otherwise be prevented than by such a reformation... of the government, as may identify its will with the will of the society. The project of Rousseau, was, consequently, as preposterous as it was impotent. In- stead of beginning with an external application, and even precluding internal remedies, he ought to have commenced with, and chiefly relied on, the latter prescription. He should have said, whilst war is to depend on those whose ambition, whose revenge, whose avidity, or whose ca- price may contradict the sentiment of the community, and yet be uncontrouled by it ; whilst war is to be declared by those who are to spend the public money, not by those who are to pay it; by those who are to direct the public forces, not by those who are to support them; by those whose power is to be raised, not by those whose chains may be riveted, the disease must continue to be hereditary like the government of which it is the offspring.
