It is from within, among yourselves--from cupidity, from corruption, from disappointed ambition and inordinate thirst for power--that factions will be formed and liberty endangered.

Local interests would still be found there, and unchastened ambition.

The power, however, is in your hands, and the remedy must and will be applied if you determine upon it.
