7190. REFORM, Government and.—
Our citizens may be deceived for awhile, and
have been deceived; but as long as the presses
can be pretected, we may trust to them for
light; still more perhaps to the taxgatherers;
for it is not worth the while of our anti-republicans
to risk themselves on any change of
government, but a very expensive one. Reduce
every department to economy, and there
will be no temptation to them to betray their
constituents.—
To Archibald Stuart.
