By the English bill direct blow is struck
at this great doctrine. 1t distinguishes.

The doctrine of intervention ly

but which you ought to accept, you can
come into the Union Immediately If not,
you shall be punished for your Free State

principle of popular sovereignty as appli-

land grants, but not as the ratification or
rejection of Constitutions Nothing is SET
