must be evident that the members of that convention from Washington
downwards were creating executive places for themselves which they were
morally certain to possess and of course could not be expected to curtail privileges
that they considered as their own— for the giving the power of the
sword and purse to the federation besides laying the foundation of future
disputes were was doubling the expense of collecting and increasing the
patronage of both which the evident interest of all people who wish to
remain free to diminish as much as possible as even single despotism is
tolerable to the lower orders when compared with an aristocracy of
patronage.
The late adoption of agricultural Societies all over the Union gives the
power of unanimity and cohesion to the landed interest which they had
not before and were therefore liable to be imposed upon by the combination
of merchants & manufacturers who were congregated into
bodies by the nature of their trade and acted always in unison with
effort making an appearance of force one hundred times more than
their real numbers and importance unfortunately for every state under their
influence their interest is contrary to the interest of the
great majority of all nations.
