- Summary
- In viewing the situation of Massachusetts, thinks there is too much intelligence in the Northern states for them to be misled by demagogues for long. Considers it strange that good and happy men in many republics tend to their gardens and protect them from insects and frost, but ignore "political Grubs, who are constantly and insidiously laboring to wound and prey upon the Roots of all their temporal Enjoyments."
