AT the same time, the candid citizen must
confess that ii the policy OF the Government
upon vital questions affecting the whole people
is to be rrtvoeably liked by the decisions OF the
supreme Court, the instant they are made IN
ordinary litigation between parties IN personal
actions, the people will have ceased to be their
own rulers, having to that extent practically
resigned theu Government INTO the hands OF
that eminent tribunal Nor rs there IN his
