10 that balance Of powers on which ths perfection ana
endurance Of our political fabric depends; and We
aenoance the Iawiess nvAson by armed force Of the

upon the protesting people Of Kansas in constituting
the personal relation between master and servant
b, involve an unqualified property in persons; in Its
x,tempted enforcement everywhere, On land and sea
through the intervention Of Congress and Of the
Federal Court. Of the extreme pretentons Of purely
local interest; and in It's general and unvaryina
abuse of the power entrusted to n BY I oonadins
