No Republic of the many which have existed has stood. All, all have fallen in the very same way, and by the treacherous hand of the same hypocritical assassin. Democracy breeds demagogues, demagogues make and spread lies; these excite passions and kindle the bonfires which light the Republican First Consuls to the throne, and the true patriots to martyrdom. In a word, licentiousness destroys republics, and he is the true republican, the friend of liberty who sets himself about to restrain licentiousness. But as this work would restrain demagogues, they loose no time to destroy or which is the same thing to render unpopular the man who would curb licentiousness.

Accordingly the business of confusion begins by confounding names & he who aggravates the known and fatal dangers of liberty is called a republican, and he who tries his utmost to lessen those dangers is called the enemy of liberty. He is preferred who gilds and sweetens poisons, the physician is slain for prescribing antidotes. This work of mischief seemingly so strange, nevertheless is ever successful. Already our liberty has lost its best props. The Constitution has no longer an independent Judiciary for a bulwark; the President, who alone dictates; and whose will is as little obstructed as that of Tiberius was by the cypher Senate of Rome, has an empire of his own bought indeed with public money, but as much a Province for an ambitious chief to gain strength in, as ancient Gaul was for Caesar.

With those facts before every one's eyes, facts that strike every patriot's heart with dismay, are not those federal men fatally vindicated by time and experience, who cried out to the people, your favorites flatter to betray--they court you to give them power, and they will grind you to powder when you have rashly conferred it, and is it not so?
