P S. I have here given you an opportunity, Mr 

 Editor, of Ihewing your perfect impartiality, by in- 

 serting the opinions of one who admires the consti- 

 tution and the Britilh government, as much as 

 Thunderproof found fault with both ; and if it 

 Ihould be necefsary to offer any excuse for my en- 

 thusiasm, as it may be called by the discontented, I 

 plead that my admiration arises from modestly com- 

 paring them with the fallible works of the other 

 varieties of the human species, not with those of an- 

 gels ; for it is the man who looks for a perfect con- 

 stitution, a perfect senate, or a perfect any thing 

 else, that is the enthusiast, not he who judges of eve- 

 ry thing by the standard of human frailty, and by 

 comparison with what men have been able to effect 

 in other parts of the world.
