Description

Excerpt from The Constitutional Adviser Whatever may have been the provocation, the language was too intemperate; and in resenting the supposed wound on the constitution, the Earl of Albemarle and his friends have prepared for it, we fear, a far more serious injury. What is proper spirit at one time, is the height of ex travagance at another. What was patriotic zeal last year, might be political frenzy the next. In fact all acts should be subjected to the control of circumstances; and we should not look upon that man as-a friend to his country, or as an en lightened supporter of its liberties, who should visit the-errors of the government, or canvass the exercise of its authority, with too much rigour, in turbulent and factious times. The best test of wisdom, public and private, is the good it, pro duces. An attempt to agitate and inflame the public mind, at a crisis like the present, will not bear to be submitted to that test. It was 1111 tated too much before. The jealousy of a large portion of the people was at least equal to any ambitious views the government could have pos sibly entertained. At the same time disaffection was rapidly gaining ground. The press display ed an audacity, which never had an example. Speeches were made at every meeting, which would have almost petrified the most fearless and impudent demagogues of former times. The palate of the multitude was so depraved that it could not relish any other food and was it wise, under those circumstances, in some of the first.
