that they would accept terms meerly palia-'

reason in this wile: No society can cxitt
without laws and proper officers to put them
in execution,—no laws were ever found so
perfedly adapted to every slate and conditi
on of a people that they needed no alterati
on, unless thofc of the Medes and Perfiaoa
may be accounted an exception. If the
laws Mid alteration, none are more readily
dirpofedTlo influence that alteration than the
parties who feel the inconvaniency of their
operation; these mutt be the people M
lurge-’—Tne people at large, are therefore
the only fafe repository of the power of
and repealing laws. I
have alflnhought that in their reprefentauve
capacity, they might at least propose Ihe ex
ecutive ihroughout. That the sword (bould
be committed to any hands
with, and independent on the people is a
■ pofitton I have never heard fobcrly laid down

of the manner io which he has difeharged
