Nor is it truer that the popular form of our national and state constitutions necessitates the suppression of such heirlooms ; nor could our lawgivers, by thus acting, succeed in installing on a forced footing of social equality the descendant of ten generations of personages distinguished for their courage, their learning, their high moral and intellectual standing, and the self-made and newly-enriched citizen, born, as it were, of yesterday, to all the refinements of life and of thought, and boasting of his being " his own proud ancestor." Before the civil law, in the midst of the duties as well as of the privileges of public life, absolute and undoubted equality. But in History, in the Past, nearly always in social intercourse, imperious, logical, needed classification, which no protest can either evade or destroy.* Far be from us the thought of enunciating here any personal opinion—of developing a theory. We simply wish to state a fact,—a clear, self-evident fact, —however unpalatable it may seem to many of our fellow-citizens. But such a fact made itself apparent, in all its possible consequences, from the earliest days of our young republic, and still we find that the Washingtons, the Adamses, the Franklins, the Jays, the Livingstons, and many others among the founders of our liberties, used daily their own armorial bearings, and did not conceal their satisfaction in thus connecting the Present with an honored Past. Why should we then—we, their descendants, enjoying now the work of their well-spent lives assume the right of interpreting differently the result of their thoughtful deliberations? They did not erase the Past, but linked it by firm ties to the Future. Gentle blood they did not proscribe, as did the French Convention, but they placed it, as it were, at the pinnacle, well in view—not as a * " Free to every one to have esteem or contempt for gentle blood. Euripides preferred to it riches ; Me- nander, virtue; Plato, glory; Aristotle, talent; Socrates, wisdom; St.
