ever heard taken,-It i more in accordance with
the spirit of.our Republican institutions and better
adopted to the genius of the age We live in. He
strongly argues thata, the people in this Repubic
are the sole basis OF the government, and as all
Law and all legislation is indirectly an emanation
from them. and as ali have an equal voice in The
