ALEXANDER
A message to Americans in 2013 from Alexander
Our form of government does not enter into rivalry with the institutions of others. We do not copy our
neighbors, but are an example to them. It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in
the hands of the many and not of the few. But while the law secures equal justice to all alike in their private
disputes, the claim of excellence is also recognized, and when a citizen is in any way distinguished, he is
preferred to the public service, not as a matter of privilege, but as the reward of merit. Neither is poverty a
bar. A man or woman may benefit this country whatever the obscurity of his condition. There is no
exclusiveness in our public life, and in our private intercourse we are to neither suspicious of one another,
nor angry with our neither if he does what he likes. We do not put on sour looks at him which, though
harmless, are not pleasant. While we are thus unconstrained in our private intercourse, a spirit of reverence
pervades our public acts. We are prevented from doing wrong by respect for authority and for the law,
having an especial regard for those which are ordained for the protection of the injured, as well as for those
unwritten laws transgressor the reprobation of the general sentiment. And we have not forgotten to provide
for our weary spirits many relations from toil. We have regular games and sacrifices throughout the year. At
home the style our life’s is refined; ant the delight which we daily feel in these entire thing helps to banish
melancholy. Because of the greatness of our city’s. Thanks Alenander
