 of Uie hiieresis of the ^reat body of the people. 
 
 The infanry of thn country, the poverty of the first aettlerv, the 
 command over the waste lauds , and the civil and mihlary expendi- 
 tures derived from Bnalnnd, left all the power in the hands of the 
 cx'TuUvu government, and rendered the coiiBtitutional clnn^k deriv- 
 ed from thu |>ower of eli-nins a branch of the legislature altogether

 a cloak to le^Mlaiive arts for promoting, in many if not in most cas-

 mill dial too Willi an apparent sanction from the people thruu|li 
 Iheir reptcsenta'tves.

 bencii. of actual wMllers, in Uiis colony, were granted to individuaN 
 who kept them from actual settlers iu lite ex{>ectatioa of itialixiug
