1 nus the poor people, alter suffering
all the evils of bad government, arc made to endure all the teproach of wrong intentions, and of incorrigibility in eil and in error ; of evil, ol which they are not the authors ; .and error, of which they, are but the recipients. 1 he views which many men entertain of .the docti ine of representation, favor the shuffling spirit which we reprobate. It is said that, the representative standing in the place of his constituents, is bound to act as they would act if they were in his place. The statement is specious, but we must not sufl'cr words to deceive. us. Let us all call our public functiqnaiies delegates of the people, and the relation which they bear to their constituents will be the more readily perceived. The American people knowing that power if surrendered, will be exerted for the benefit of the receiver and the hurt of the giver, have w isotypictair.ed the sovereignty in their own hands ; but finding it inconvenient, not to say impossible, to exercise its differ ent uttiibuics in their multitudinous character, they have delegated a portion of their authority to 0112, and a portion to another Each delegate has his duty aiiotied to Itfm, and a limited time gran ted lor its performance. His ofiice is in deed vicarious, and his power being de rivativO, is to be exercised not for his own bencfiubut for that of those who con fer it on him. yet this docs not debar him of the right of judging, and of act ing according to that judgment Independently of general moral obligations, the only inn tract 10 n by which he is bound, are those which the constitution contains ; nor can his constituents Irgaltu impose other. restrictions. In choosing him for their legislator, they give hirn the fiorjer to pass laws, and his station makes i his duty 10 enquire caicfully into all proposed measures, and yield his assent to such only ai he believes will advance the interests and promote the hapjrt'tess of the people. If the lat ter are dissatisfied with the laws or displeased with the man by the frequent recurrence of elections, an opportunity is ofiercd themof annulling the one or dismissing the other. This is the way in which they are to obtain redress for injuries either real or supposed. This is the only way in which the representative is responsible to his constituents. For the rest he must answer to his conscience and his God Those who maintain the doctrine of
representation which we are combatting.
to tin- disnute on the relative extent nf
jurisdiction, we shall dismiss it, content il we can secure tl c independence of thi popular branch of the legislature. The necessity for instiucting a representative, can exist only vv here .there is a diflerence of opinion between him and his constituents ami few instances havo occurred, in which the voters in anj particular district were unwilling that their delegate should exercise his power, and discharge his dutv according to his own conscientious views of it. They all knewthat if their views we re in opposition, a time would shoilly arrive in which they could substitute a man whose opinions coincided with their own; nd we bedevo that few of those who hive acted contrary to the dictates of their conscience and their, judgment, can say in theii rxcuse that they were so instructed by their constituents. Some vague expression of opinion in the public prints at public meetings, or in public houses, is all they had to influence them ; andtl nse who know what a great clamor can bo raised by a few interested persons, know what dependence is to be placed on such representations of the will of the people. The erroneous dextrine of repicsentalion, snipped of its specious gloss, is simply this, that, the delegate should c msult the wis he a and . not tlu iw crest's of his constituents ; and a neccssjiy corollary is, that he is not a faithful servant, if, in time of public infatuation, c does not become infatuated alt-o . lie is not to oppose error when sano tinned bv the majority: if a law is propocd which will entail tasting nvftrry on the nation, he nut use his power to pass it for the Jircstnt gra'ijicari'.n of those who elected him. lie nais. l ot endeavour to retard a measure, tili ufficient time shall have elapsed for t 6 be coolly considered and fts truena'uic discovered. He must use his utmost exertions to bring it into immcdia'c operation, though convinced its conseqmncrs will be dcplorab e and th t his constituents will "bittck icpcnt ol their folly at no very remote pmo. Such is the doctrine hy which an at tcrnpt is made to divest of all cofi cientious responsibility, a class of mu. on whose actions depend the happb ess or misery of millions now existing, and millions yet unborn. Placed in a situation in which the soundest judgment, the most extensive information, and the pu
rest principles arc requisite for the dis
charge of their duty ; that judgment.
