7175. REBELLION, Remedy for.—

What country can preserve its liberties if its
rulers are not warned, from time to time, that
the people preserve the spirit of resistance?
Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them
right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.—
To W. S. Smith. Washington ed. ii, 318. Ford ed., iv, 467.
