the question Is whether faction shall be permitted
10 continue Its reign and, thus, we have at once
Ireached point admitting precise decision. To
arrive at this decision, let enquire into ant, I'M
dersIand the frue meaning OF the word faction:
you Will not, we presume, contend that majority
OF 'he people constitute Il faction; you WILL on the
contrary admit that faction is a minority guided

This being allowed, let us apply 10 this point facts
about which we must ali agree: YOU know, aenlc-
