[Page] 41 part, I envy you not for your happiness, nor wish any other evil to befall you, than what your happiness unavoidably brings with it. It may with truth be said, that men of your description are the only persons who enjoy the wonderful influence of enchanted liquor. Others only tast of it, without feeling any of its powerful and remarkable effects. Your friends can witness that you are lively, jocose, and good natured. They also know that you are as rich as you desire, have every thing you want, and oftentimes a great deal more. Who can despise you, when your drunkenness makes all your virtues more conspicuous? It is well known, that you are liberal to your favorites; friendly and good natured to excess, as social as a sycophant, and as silly as you please. You are so free and liberal, even to your enemies, that you always give them their full reward, and very often more than is due.

[Page] 45 A poor man will also be considered as having greater temptations to defraud the public, that such are placed above the common necessaries of life. When he is in continual apprehension of poverty, and in want of a thousand things which are possessed by others, it will be unsafe to trust him with such offices as frequently present opportunities in which fraud and injustice may be committed with impunity. He will be tempted to neglect public matters, to attend to his own: and cannot be supposed to have equal concern for the security and interest of the community, to those of greater fortune. If he has no property of his own, it is probable that he will have little regard for the protection of other people's. And it has been often the case that persons of desperate fortunes, who had nothing to fear, have wished for a revolution, in hopes, by some lucky accident, to be exalted to wealth and honor. The propriety of chiefly encouraging the richest members will farther appear, by con-

The fourth of July 1796, will even be held as a distinguished aera in the history of Republican empires; as the beginning of the downfall of despotism, and the first dawn of Political Freedom.

[Page] 46 considering that the wealthy are generally the best qualified for a public station. Ease and plenty are the great sources of knowledge, and those who are not possessed of them, will probably remain in ignorance and be unacquainted with the knowledge of the world. And such as are unacquainted with the views and capacities of mankind, can do very little for the interest of the community, let their intentions be ever so honest or sincere. His motives are mean and detrimental to liberty. His sentimens are narrow and contracted, and will not allow of his making those generous sacrifices required by his country, when its liberty is endangered. Ignorant of the view and interests of all classes of the community, he will be led away by the sophistical arguments of some interested politicians, to favor some particular class of men; and will make grievous mistakes in his administration, without having any design to injure or disturb the interest of the community.

Every person old and young engages in the general topic of discourse, with a warmth and concern which subjects of great importance only can justify. Person of advantage, and who have lost all relish for pleasure argue that the introduction of a dancing

[Page] 73 Which of these arguments bar the most weight I shall not at present determine. Both I apprehend are in some degree worthy consideration; and both perhaps have some degree of truth. In many situations and under certain circumstances, it may safely be said, that the dancing school would be of no real advantage. Such as are designed for a vulgar warmth of life might derive more profit from many other accomplishments better adapted to their situations in life. Reading, writing, arithmetic, will make a person much more useful and happy who knows no dancing but what he occasionally acquired, than he could otherwise be though he had learnt to dance in the most elegant manner. For what purpose does a person attend a dancing school three months who for the remainder of this life is destined to follow the plough or attend to some mechanical employment on which depends his whole support?

[recto] actions, and skeeking on every occasion to injure us in our estate and reputation. But if we deliberately consider the case, we shall find that he who has such bad neighbors, enjoys a privilege which others have not. Those bad neighbors are continually admonishing us to deal justly, and to avoid all kinds of vice and injustice without the prospect of any fee or reward. Slander and back biting they prohibit under the severest penalties; and we are compelled to behave perfectly upright towards others, in order to escape the vengeance of those bad neighbors, and to preserve the esteem of he world. But mankind in general are too depraved to turn the faults of others to their own improvement. Injuries generally excite a desire of revenge, and revenge is seldom innocent. What ought to excite humility and abatement, raises anger and animosity, and a number of evils, that lend only to render mankind more vicious and corrupt.

[Page] 74 Does the female who would wish to manage the loom or the spinning wheel, with dexterity, find her dancing to contribute any towards the desired end? But to others such as are designed for professions, and whose fortune and circumstances enable them to make a conspicuous figure in society, a proper attention to the exercises of a dancing school is highly advantageous. To please those with whom we may have acquaintance and to behave among men with a decent civility, modesty and politeness, is not only desirable and proper but in the duty of all who expect much intercourse with the world. If we are destined to act in company nothing will so easily gain their esteem, on a good behavior; and nothing else will free us from the shame and fear of exploring ourselves, which every one feels who has neglected the external habits and rules of behavior.

[Page] 87 and other branches of agriculture, it would, perhaps, contribute as much to health and innocence, as to national independence and prosperity. All therefore, who are concerned in the prosperity of our country, would do well to encourage this art on which it so much depends; and to preserve that respect which is necessary to make it attended to, let them also take an active part in the order and management of a plantation. If the gentleman or politician would do this, Agriculture would be no longer held in contempt. But should they happen to be ridiculed for their taste or employment, a Virgil, a Cyrus, a Cincinnatus, and a Washington shall vindicate their cause. When Lysander came to Cyrus, a prince equally distinguished for his glorious empire and his genius, Cyrus showed him a piece of ground well enclosed and completely planted. After the visitor had admired the excellence and beauty of the trees, the order and regularity of the rows, the ground well cultivated, and the sweetness of the odours which exhaled from the flowers, he could not help expressing his admiration, not only of the dilligence
