His reply was, "A nation is, after all, only the people who compose it; (you and I, and our neighbors and our neighbors' neighbors, and so on and so forth." The government of a city is exactly what the people choose to make it, who live in it, by their attention to their duties as citizens. Every man and woman entitled to vote is responsible for the good dr bad rule of their officials.
