1179. CENTRALIZATION, Plunder and.—

Our country is too large to have all its affairs
directed by a single government. Public
servants at such a distance, and from under
the eye of their constituents, must, from the
circumstance of distance, be unable to administer
and overlook all the details necessary for
the good government of the citizens; and the
same circumstance, by rendering detection impossible
to their constituents, will invite the
public agents to corruption, plunder and
waste.—
To Gideon Granger. Washington ed. iv, 331. Ford ed., vii, 451.
(M. Aug. 1800)
