3524. GOVERNMENT, Moral principles.—
If ever the morals of a people could
be made the basis of their own government,
it is our case; and who could propose to
govern such a people by the coruption of
a Legislature, before he could have one night
of quiet sleep, must convince himself that the
human soul, as well as body, is mortal.—
To John Adams.
