J.B. to France
(9)
Yes: it is but too true. The amateurs of
Charles are all of them, whether they know it or no,
our enemies, and the sooner you are rid of them
the better. But, as to insurrection — as to civil war —
this is not he cheapest way, nor yet the promptest
way to get rid of them. If your Elections are free, unless
the magnitude of the present pecuniary qualification
establishes an aristocracy, sooner or later
you will rid yourselves quietly of your
and when they are gone, then, and not till then, may
you have an uncorruptible government, such
as that of the United States.
And the sooner this weeding operation
has been compleated, the better: which is as much
as to say, the shorter the duration of your assemblies,
the better.
