=Times of commotion= In times of such commotion as present, while the passions of men are worked up to an uncommon pitch, there is great danger of fatal extremes. The same state of the passions which fits the multitude, who has not the sufficient stock of reason and knowledge to guide them, for opposition to tyranny and oppression, very naturally leads to a contempt and disregard of all authority. The due medium is hardly to be found among the more intelligent. It is almost impossible among the unthinking populace. When the mind of these are loosened from their attachment to ancient establishments and courses, they seem to grow giddy and are apt more or less to run into anarchy.

=Contested elections= In the excitement of contested elections and of party spirit, judgement becames the slave of the will - Men of intelligence, talents, and even of integrity upon other occasions surrender themselves up to their passions - Believe everything, with, without, or even against evidence, according as it suits their their own wishes.

=Demagogues in Congress= The demagogues in Congress disgrace the body and the country. Noisy and loud professions, with no useful policy or end, exhibit themselves daily.

=The greed and selfishness of Congressmen = The contact with the greed and selfishness of Congressmen is unspeakably repulsive. The constant contact with envy, meanness, ignorance and the swinish selfishness which ignorance breeds needs a stronger heart and a more obedient nervous system than I can boast.
