Every form of government has its. ad
vantages and disadvantages. To us, in
this happy Country, however, it appears
pretty clear in general, that Democracy
is the most perfect social administration,
if jt be*>ure, and well balanced : But if
it He corrupt, and not kept in order by just
and necessary restraints, it becomes ex

This truth is pr6ved by alt history.
It ts> often asserted that a republican
form of government wodk) be unsuitable
to Fiance ; and our argument to sustain
this position is, that that form of govern*
ment is only proper for small states. The
same reason would go to prove that such
a government is not adapted to the condi
tion of 4be .United States* But all the re
