| people the laws they constitutonally enact
are binding on the people and the ohfosers

be maintained, is that of tyrant, who can
point the greatest number of bayonrts toward

rous sect was embodied and brought forth in
array against the government"

ilbesality and injustice. Ii is said, +" tha, the
loss of the masts of the Guerrero was occa-
stoned more by their defective state, than from
the IRE offhe enemy, though so greatly snte-
