IF THEY SAY ITS PUBLIC OPINION, BEWARE. PUBLIC OPINION IS SIMPLY WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS.
To say that public opinion and the federal government are enemies is absurd, but to say that they are bedfellows is equally absurd. So where do they stand?

The opponents of the plan proposed have, with great assiduity, cited and circulated the observations of Montesquieu on the necessity of a contracted territory for a republican government. But they seem not to have been apprised of the sentiments of that great man expressed in another part of his work, nor to have adverted to the consequences of the principle to which they subscribe with such ready acquiescence.
