3178. FRANCE, Self-Government in.—[continued].
Whether the state of society
in Europe can bear a republican government,
I doubted, you know, when with you,
and I do now. A hereditary chief, strictly
limited, the right of war vested in the legislative
body, a rigid economy of the public
contributions, and absolute interdiction of all
useless expenses, will go far towards keeping
the government honest and unoppressive.—
To Marquis Lafayette. Washington ed. vii, 325.
