control, by these mean, is to plan crime against
liberty and the Republic.

The Committee believe that the people, armed
with the constitutional laws, will meet these usur.
pations with the spirit and determination of their
fathers, nor will they suffer executive ambition so
far to corrupt the constitutional remedies of exc.-
cativo wrong-doing as to condemn the people in
the immediate future to a condition and remedies
of the subject population of the Old World.
