in conclusion, we will notice orc OF the last

what does the authority IT decision OF the Le-
gislative Executive or Judicial Department rest!

that the decision OF one set Of agents is binding,

nc considers the Constitution nothing, and the
Legislative presidents everything. We trust we
have shown that Bank Pill has been rejected

the prcceden's is agojas' the Bank. But we
