They have seen every right molated, every dignity abandoned every property attacked; liberty always invoked, and despotisms always practiced, by a set of adventurers, equally devoid of capacity and shame. "The people then, of every country, as if awakened from a dream, have become convinced that they could not be well governed, but by persons above common wants, who had a character to support, a property to defend, and a liberal mind to feel the inestimable blessings of liberty. "But, if the interest of the whole community demands, that the power should be vested in the hands of men of property, what shall we say of the particular interests of these men themselves? "Men of property in Italy, and every country where a revolution is at all probable, especially in America now seriously threatened by a strong disorganizing party, arouse from your lethargy; impress it well on your minds, that neither your property nor your lives are safe, if universal suffrage is established in your country.

And the union of familiarity, kindness and authority, with which the teacher presided in the school, and the union of familiarity, affection, cheerfulness and obedience, which marked the conduct of the scholars, were not less remarkable and interesting. I was equally surprised at the beauty of the scholars; not that there was any thing in the form of their bodies, limbs or features, different from the children and youth that I had been accustomed to see; but still they appeared to me singularly beautiful.
