shall be tolerated. Ii ensures and pr
notes fraternity by its precepts, which a
that every man, Territory, State and n
ton, have an inherent right to regula
their own affairs, and that il is the du
of each, s'to mind their business"
L. gives to the citizens of the East, Wa
North, and South, equal rights and priv

rates equally upon all.
