This people have made a government. He who would support the government of the people, may be supposed to be the friend of their power and their rights. Such a man will desire to see the people's government so stable as to protect the citizens, and so respectable in the eyes of other nations, as to induce them to follow our example, and thereby to extend republican liberty over the world.
Yet our scribblers make it appear that liberty is one thing and government another. To support government and to recommend a regard to the laws, is a proof of aristocracy. Liberty enjoyed under the laws will not suit these men-The laws give to every man his own-but he who has nothing is no gainer by this security. No, say our mobbocrats let us. throw all into an heap and raffle for it.
