We do not know what the decision
will be in these cases; but we have
great confidence in the integrity, in
'elligence and manliness Of the Court,
and, under these circumstances, we shall
be very much disappointed il they do
not decide thnt the law is inconstitution-
al and that, consequently, they have
no right TO declare the Defendants gull

Involving great principles and embody-

superior to all laws which the General
