Thus, tho nature of the cun Iry, tho manner in which the ItriiWt col. oules were foundcJ, tho habits of the tint emigrants, in short everythinj:, united to promote, in an extraordinary degree, mu nicipal and proxinclal liberties. In tho United Slates, tlierefore, the mass of the institutions of the country is cssen. tially republican j and in order pernia. nenlly to destroy the laws which form the basis of tho republic, it would lo neces sary to aliolish all the tans at once. At the present day, It would he own more diihculrfora party to succeed in founding a monarchy in the United Slates, than for a set of men to proclaim that Trance should henceforward bo a republic. Hoy. ally would net find a system of legislation prepared for it beforehand; and a mon archy would then exist, really siirroun. detl hv republican Institutions. The mo. narchial principle would likewise hate great difliculty in penetrating into the j manners of tho Americans. i In the Untied .Slates, ihe sjvereignt) of the people is not an Isolated dourinc l.'ar ing no relation to tho prevailing manners and ideas of the pcoplo : it may, on the contrary, he regarded as a last link of n chain ol opinions which hinds tho whole Anglo-American world. That I'rovidtuee hat given lo every human being the d.. grcoof reason necessary to direct himself in the affairs which interest him cactus ively; such is the grand maxim upon rltti ntfc.ll ftml tw1tfli,l m-vlitv r.t ... fee United Stales. Tho father of a futil ity applies it to ids children ; tiitf master tt hi servants ; 'the township to its oS- cers; tlie province to its touhsiiipt; the atatc to the prov'nees; the Union to the states; ami when extended to the nation, it becomes the doctrine of tho iovereignty of tho people. Thus, in tho United States, tho funda mental principle of tho republic is the samo which governs tho greater part of human actions ; republican notions insin uate themselves into all the ideas, ouiu ions, and habits of tho Americans, wiulc ihey are formally recomilzcd by the lcgii. lition: and before this legislation can be altered, mo wnoie community must tin- drrmv verv sf-rlmis rhnnfM In tlm ITt.i. tmA f3l,Aa MVAn (l-i. .aII..I.-. iF ..h.i f ' .'V M.U.10, v.v.l ,..v .ll.gl.Jll v, ,llufc VI the citizens is republican, since ll submits the truths of tho other world lo private judgment: as in politics the care'of its temporal interests is aliandoned to the good sense of Ihe people. Thus every man is allowed freely to take that road which lis thinks will lead him to hcavtn; lust as the lnw permits every citizen to nave me rignt oi choosing his govern ment.
