reconcile their habits, views, and interests with those of the South
and West. The latter are beginning to rule with a rod of iron.”
Pickering knew that the Federalist majority in Massachusetts was
none too great. The election in May, four months later, showed a
Federalist vote of 30,000 against a Republican minority of 24,000,
while in the Legislature Harrison Gray Otis was chosen Speaker by
129 votes to 103. Pickering knew also that his colleague, Senator
Adams, was watching his movements with increasing ill-will, which
Pickering lost no chance to exasperate. Nothing could be more
certain than that at the first suggestion of disunion Senator Adams
and the moderate Federalists would attack the Essex Junto with the
bitterness of long-suppressed hatred; and if they could not command
fourteen votes in the Legislature and three thousand in the State, a
great change must have occurred since the year before, when they
elected Adams to the Senate for the long term over Pickering’s head.
Pickering concealed his doings from his colleague; but Tracy was not
so cautious. Adams learned the secret from Tracy; and the two
senators from Massachusetts drew farther and farther apart, in spite
of the impeachments, which tended to force them together.
The Essex Junto, which sent Pickering to Washington, and to
which he appealed for support, read his letter with evident
astonishment. George Cabot, Chief-Justice Parsons, Fisher Ames,
and Stephen Higginson, who were the leaders consulted,[104]
agreed that the scheme was impracticable; and Cabot, as gently as
possible, put their common decision into words.
“All the evils you describe,” he said,[105] “and many more, are to
be apprehended; but I greatly fear that a separation would be no
remedy, because the source of them is in the political theories of our
country and in ourselves. A separation at some period not very remote
may probably take place,—the first impression of it is even now
favorably received by many; but I cannot flatter myself with the
expectation of essential good to proceed from it while we retain
maxims and principles which all experience, and I may add reason
too, pronounce to be impracticable and absurd. Even in New England,
where there is among the body of the people more wisdom and virtue
than in any other part of the United States, we are full of errors which
no reasoning could eradicate if there were a Lycurgus in every village.
We are democratic altogether; and I hold democracy in its natural
operation to be the government of the worst.
“There is no energy in the Federal party, and there could be none
manifested without great hazard of losing the State government.
Some of our best men in high stations are kept in office because they
forbear to exert any influence, and not because they possess right
principles. They are permitted to have power if they will not use it.... I
incline to the opinion that the essential alterations which may in future
be made to amend our form of government will be the consequences
only of great suffering or the immediate effects of violence. If we
should be made to feel a very great calamity from the abuse of power
by the National Administration, we might do almost anything; but it
would be idle to talk to the deaf, to warn the people of distant evils. By
this time you will suppose I am willing to do nothing but submit to fate.
I would not be so understood. I am convinced we cannot do what is
wished; but we can do much, if we work with Nature (or the course of
things), and not against her. A separation is now impracticable,
because we do not feel the necessity or utility of it. The same
separation then will be unavoidable when our loyalty to the Union is
generally perceived to be the instrument of debasement and
impoverishment. If it is prematurely attempted, those few only will
promote it who discern what is hidden from the multitude.”
