tinction of persons or classes, and should not
bestow upon some ftvors and privileges which
all others may not enjoy. TWAS the purpose
of its illustrious founders to base the insttn-
lions which they reared upon the great and
unchanging principles Of justice and equity,
conscious that if administered in the spirit
in which they were conceived, they would be
felt only by the benefits which they dittnscd
and would secure for themselves defence
in the hearts of the people, more powerful
than standing armies, and all the means
and appliances invented 10 sustain govern.
