Where is the pride of the citizen when, through political contrivances to which he is be- coming almost reconciled, he sees himself in the keeping of the venal and the vile ?
* Letter to Mr. Sedgwick, July 10, 1804: Hamilton's Works, vol. Vi. P. 568.
f Madison Papers, vol. Iii. P. 1603.
146 FEARS FOR DEMOCRACY REGARDED FROM SECTION VII.
FAULTS OF GOVERNMENT ARE THE FAULTS OF THE PEOPLE.
The faults of government in the United States must be looked for in the people. They let their will be interc...epted by a scum which lies on the sur- face, and that scum is reflected in their government and institutions. The institutions of England re- flect the selfishness of an aristocracy, mixed with a certain awe of the people. The institutions of Asia, where they were told three thousand years ago, " thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass " together, " and where they are told like things to-day, reflect barbarism. It was remarked of the Scotch Highlanders, who, by the Act of Union of 1701, became citizens of Great Britain, that, for years, they had none of the advantages of their citizenship, by reason of the rudeness of their society.
