When, in some obscure country town,
the farmers come together to a special town-meeting,
to express their
opinion on some subject
which is vexing the land,
that, I think, is the
true Congress,
and the most respectable one
that is ever assembled in
the United States.
Thoreau's essay "Slavery In Massachusets" from 1854
