Republic

,—a government which is conducted with a tenth or twentieth part the expence, throughout every department, that it costs a monarchial one. There is scarce such a thing known as corruption of rulers; and the rulers being stationary, have no occasion of attempting such ruinous schemes to rob their fellow-citizens of their rights, as in such case they would destroy their own. In truth, a Representative Republic must be the best government, as it appears the most rational.
