Question

"It ought also to be remembered that the citizens who inhabit the country at and near the seat of government will, in all questions that affect the general liberty and prosperity, have the same interest with those who are at a distance, and that they will stand ready to sound the alarm when necessary, and to point out the actors in any pernicious project."

Can someone help explain this quote to me from Federalist Paper No. 84?

The end means, that people will "sound the alarm" when they find someone or some people who are involved in any harmful project.
