THE PRINCIPLES OF Mr. PENN, FOUNDER of PENNSYLVANIA, On GOVERNMENT. Y To the EDITORS of the MONTHLY MISCELLANY. OU have herewith the principles of Mr. William Penn on Government; who was the founder, and proprietary governor of Pennsylvania.-By which you will fee on what foundation the laws of that province were built, which was peopled in fo fhort a time, and is now equal, if not fuperior, to any province in America. I will only add, fuch was the true love and affection between Mr. Penn and the Pennsylvanians, that whenever he came to Pennsylvania, the people received him as their most affectionate father, in raptures of joy; and, when he left them, their forrow was fuch, as not to have à dry eye on the fhore; by which we may fee what will make governors beloved, great, and glorious, and the people opúlent, dutiful, and happy. laws, to which they confent; the other by abfolute will and power. That is called freedom, this tyranny. 3. The first is endanger'd by the ambition of the populace, which thakes the conftitution; the other by an ill adminiftration, which hazards the tyrant and his family. 4. It is great wisdom in both forts, not to ftrain points too high with their people; for whether the people have a right to oppose them or not, they are ever fure to attempt it, when things are carried too far; tho' the remedy often proves worse than the disease. 5. Happy that King who is great by juftice, and that people who are free by obedience! 6. Where the Ruler is juft, he may be ftrict; else it is two to one it turns upon him; and tho' he should prevail, he can be no gainer, where his people are the lafers. 7. Princes must not have paffions in government, nor refent beyond interest and reafon. 8. Where example keeps pace with authority, power hardly fails to be obeyed, and Magiftrates honoured. 9. Let Rr 9. Let the people think they govern, and they will be governed. 10. This cannot fail, if those they trust are trusted. 11. That prince that is juft to them in great things, and humours them often times in fmall things, is fure to have them, and keep them from all the world. 12. For the people is the politic wife of the Prince, that may be better managed by wisdom, than ruled by force. 13. But where the Magiftrate is partial, and ferves ill turns, he lofes his authority with the people, and gives the populace opportunity to gratify their ambition; and fo lays a ftumbling-block for his people to fall. 14. It is true, that where a subject is more popular than the Prince, the Prince is in danger: but it is as true, that is his own fault; for no body has the like means, intereft, or reafon, to be popular as he. 15. It is an unaccountable thing, that fome Princes incline rather, to be feared than loved; when we fee that fear does not oftener fecure a Prince against the diffatisfaction of his people, than love makes a fubject too many for such a Prince. 16. Certainly fervice upon inclination is like to go farther than obedience upon compulfion. 17. The Romans had a just sense of this, when they placed Optimus before Maximus to their moft illuftrious Captains and Cafars. 18. Befides, experience tells us, That goodness raifes a nobler paffion in the foul, and gives a better fenfe of duty than feverity. 19. What did Pharoah get by increafing the Ifraelites task? ruin to himself in the end. 20. Kings, chiefly in this, fhould imitate God: Their Mercy fhould be over all their works. 21. The difference between the Prince and the peafant is in this world: but a temper ought to be obferved by him that has the advantage here, becaufe of the judgment of the next. 22. The end of every thing fhould direct the means: now that of government being the good of the whole, nothing lefs fhould be the aim of the Prince. 23. As often as Rulers endeavour to attain juft ends by just mediums, they are fure of a quiet and easy government; and as fure of convulfions where the nature of things are violated, and their order overruled. 24. It is certain Princes ought to have great allowances made them for faults in government, fince they fee by other people's eyes, and hear by their ears. But Minifters of State, their immediate confidants and inftruments, have much to anfwer for, if to gratify private paffions, they mifguide the Prince to do public injury. 25. Minifters of State fhould undertake their posts at their peril. If Princes over-rule them, let them fhew the law, and humbly refign: if fear, gain, or flattery prevail, let them answer it to the law. 26. The Prince cannot be preserved, but where the Minifter is punishable; for people, as well as Princes, will not endure Imperium in Imperio. 27. If Ministers are weak or ill men, and fo fpoil their places, it is the Princes fault who choose them: but if their places fpoil them, it is their own fault to be made worse by them. 28. It is but just that those that reign by their Princes, fhould fuffer for their Princes; for it is a fafe and neceffary maxim, not to fhift hands in government, while the bands are in being that should anfwer for them. 29. And yet it were intolerable to be a Minifter of State, if every body may be accufer and judge. 30. Let not therefore the falfe accufer any more escape an exemplary punishment, than the guilty Minifter. 31. For it prophanes- government to have the leading men in it fubject to vul gar cenfure; which is often ill grounded. 32. The fafety of a Prince, therefore, confifts in a well-chofen council; and that only can be faid to be fo, where the perfons that compofe it are qualified for the bufinefs that comes before them. 33. Who would fend for a taylor to make a lock, or a smith to make a fuit of cloaths? 34. Let there be merchants for trade, feamen for the admiralty, travellers for foreign affairs, fome of the leading men of the country for home-bufinefs, and common and civil lawyers to advise of legality and right; who fhould always keep to the ftrict rules of law. 35. Three things contribute much to ruin government; looseness, oppreffion, and envy. 36. Where the reins of government are too flack, the manners of the people are corrupted; and that deftroys industry, begets effeminacy, and provokes heaven against it. 37. Op |
