7278. REPRESENTATION, Government by.—
Modern times have * * * discovered
the only device by which the [equal]
rights [of man] can be secured, to wit: government
by the people, acting not in person,
but by representatives chosen by themselves,
that is to say, by every man of ripe years
and sane mind, who either contributes by his
purse or person to the support of his country.—
To M. Coray. Washington ed. vii, 319.
