Will they never be able to persuade
themselves that the provision made for the reward
of merit in the persons of these objects of kind
regard is too ample, or by any amount more than
sufficient? Yes: when those so illustriously public
spirited philanthropic and disinterested public
characters are arrived at that same persuasion
The clause requiring a Senator not
to be less than 30 years of age, must not be omitted.
Looked at a little beyond the surface, this will be found
to belong to the catalogue of nugatory securities— a
catalogue of no inconsiderable length in the
field of legislation.
It is grounded on mere theory—
loose and superficial theory— not only not supported
by experience, but even opposed by appropriate
experience.
1. Under thirty years of age, if a man is
likely to be less apt than a man above that age in
some respects, he is likely to be more apt in other
respects: and those in which he is likely to be less
most apt, are of the greatest consequence.
