Does anybody know where McCulloch wrote:

"But whenever property is secure, industry free, and the public burdens 
moderate, the happiness or misery of the labouring classes depends 
almost wholly on themselves. Government has there done for them all that 
it should, and all in truth that it can do. It has given them security 
and freedom.  But the use or abuse of these inestimable advantages is 
their own affair.  They may be either provident or improvident, 
industrious or idle; and being free to choose, they are alone 
responsible for the consequences of their choice."

Thanks.
