7768. SELF-GOVERNMENT, Classes vs. Masses.—
The general spread of the light
of science has already laid open to every view
the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind
has not been born with saddles on their backs,
nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready
to ride them legitimately, by the grace of
God.—
To Roger C. Weightman. Washington ed. vii, 450.
