which the Fedora Government with powers iu and
ample effect ali the ends OF Its institution; which IN the
language of tine Constitution itself are, "To-torm more
perfect Gnion, establish justice ensure domestic anquiy

fare and the blessings OF liberty 70 ourselves and our

by the Constitution the guardianship and protection Of
the General Government. The assertion OF such prin-
