Excerpt from Argument Made Before a Joint Committee of the Legislature of Massachusetts, May 17, 1869, Against the Establishment of a State Police in the City of Boston
Now New England government is this: Each town manages its own local affairs. The people of the town meet in town meeting, - in many places in a hall not larger than this,* as the members of the committee know, and there freely discuss and decide all questions of local government,-decide what taxes they shall lay, what schoolhouses they shall build, whether they Shall do this or that; and there annually elect all town officers, including constables. The town-meeting has been very properly called the nursery of American statesmen; and one of the most distinguished, thoughtful and critical political philosophers has pointed out that, whatever may be the drawbacks of New Eng land institutions, the town governments do create good citizens.
