1533. CONGRESS, Farmers in.—

The only corrective of what is corrupt in our
present form of government will be the augmentation
of the members in the lower House
so as to get a more agricultural representation,
which may put that interest above that
of the stock-jobbers.—
To George Mason. Washington ed. iii, 209. Ford ed., v, 275.
