The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very
first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to
decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or
newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to
prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those
papers and be capable of reading them.
