Excerpt from The Farmer's Companion; Or, Essays on the Principles and Practice of American Husbandry: With the Address Prepared to Be Delivered Before the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies of New-Haven County, Connecticut; And an Appendix, Containing Tables, and Other Matter Useful to the Farmer
On the political course of Judge buel, I do not de sign to enlarge. He was a believer in the old fashioned doctrine, that office, instead of being made for men, should be made by them; that it conferred far less privi leges than it imposed duties; that it was a trust reposed, and the incumbent a trustee, and responsible for the prop er performance of the trust; that, instead of operating as a license to live and fatten on the public spoil, without the necessity of labor, it imposed the severe obligations of more incessant effort, and of acting under deeper and heavier responsibilities; and that it was no further honor able, than as an indication of trust and confidence on the part of those, whose intelligence and moral worth were the vouchers for its value. The introduction of many modern improvements is tending to render that doctrine somewhat antiquated, and to diminish the number of its adherents.
