to people collectively, and not individually An union
of the States containing such ingredient seemed to
provide for its destruction. The use of force
against State would look more like declaration of
war than infction of punishment and would
probably be considered by the party attacked as dis
solution of all previous compacts by which tmight be
bound. He hoped that such a system would be franz
