He saws, q. have never counselled, nor aid
ed in any way, and never shall counsel or
aid in any encyoachment on the compromises
Of the American Constitution" He respects
the laws Of the District! He knew there
was a law above all these there was a seal
more sacred than that Of Solyman; II was
set on a cssket more precious than that OF the
