Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
99
To
his
inquiries
respecting
government,
I
replied
by
describing
briefly
the
principles
of
the
American
constitution,
taking
care
to
say
nothing
about
the
qualifications
for
office,
nor
of
the
means
resorted
to
to
obtain
preferment.
He
thought
the
scheme
well
calculated
for
a
very
virtuous
and
enlightened
people,
but
liable
to
many
abuses.
through
the
want
of
a
probationary
course
of
qualification
for
places
of
trust
and
power.
On
the
subject
of
religion,
I
frankly
confessed
that
every
man
was
permitted
to
worship
God
according
to
the
dictates
of
his
own
conscience,
and
that
our
government
did
not
recognize
one
form
of
worship
in
preference
to
another.
With
this
he
appeared
to
be
satisfied,
but
when
I
inadvertently
added,
that
one
of
our
wise
men,
who
had
filled
the
chair
of
"Best
Man"
of
the
nation,
had
expressed
the
opinion
that
it
was
of
no
importance
whether
the
people
worshipped
one
God
or
twenty,
he
started
with
horror,
and
expressed
the
greatest
astonishment
that
an
enlightened
people
should
permit
wise
men
to
obtain
controlling
influence
in
a
country;
for,
however
useful
and
valuable
they
might
be
found
to
be
within
their
proper
sphere
of
action,
like
all
powerful
agents
they
were
dangerous
to
the
happiness
of
mankind
if
not
restrained
by
powerful
checks
and
controlling
influences,
to
prevent
their
running
into
impracticable
measures:--wherefore,
not
more
than
five
wise
men
were
permitted
to
sit
in
his
council
of
one
hundred.
