thus attain by fraud or force particular result,

conformity to the majority standard or other de-
linauency-in short, to deny to sovereign DEM
ocratic States the right to return to their seats
at Baltimore, because they did not occupy them
for the whole period of the prOtracted sitting at
Charleston-a question belonging entirely TO
the constituency of these delegations alone, and
with which the National Convention had no bus
