6612. PEOPLE, Reasonable.—

It is a blessing that our people are reasonable; that
they are kept so well informed of the state
of things as to judge for themselves, to see
the true sources of their difficulties, and to
maintain their confidence undiminished in the
wisdom and integrity of their functionaries.—
To Cæsar A. Rodney. Washington ed. v, 501. Ford ed., ix, 272.
