7604. RIGHTS, The people and.—
The
people, especially when moderately instructed,
are the only safe, because the only honest,
depositaries of the public rights, and should
therefore, be introduced into the administration
of them in every function to which they
are sufficient; they will err sometimes and
accidentally, but never designedly, and with
a systematic and persevering purpose of overthrowing
the free principles of the government.—
To M. Coray. Washington ed. vii, 319.
