Junctiana Plan.
has been as ye been time for the public in England, or in
the Anglo American United States, to learn, even in
relation to the Executive Government: and, as to the
Executive Government, it is but the organ of the legislative.
In London, the Constitution has, indeed, though
only within these few days, been made public. But
the Constitution of a State is one thing: the conduct
of the government and the people under the Constitution,
another thing: and, of this, there can not as

which any agreement grounded on this or any other basis,
can have been entered into, light, in a considerable
degree may naturally be expected to have been substituted cast
upon all this darkness. A small number of years
however, how tranquilly and prosperously soever they
may have passed on, can in such a case afford but
a slight foundation for the appropriate confidences and, in the mean
time, if the present opportunity be not embraced,
when minds are on the alert, generated affections not
yet cooled, and what is more determinately material,
capital which as yet is in an overflowing state, not
yet settled, in channels from which it can not be
diverted, this or that unfavourable turn, taken by the
political machine, may have opposed a final bar to
the accomplishment of this matchless work of universal
beneficence.
