Of the United States the necessary guarantees of

the Territorial Legislature, if may call it 30, ii
controls the action .f that Legislature BY chs
Of the Executive aud the rulings of the Judiciary
in regular and organic way. Thus mischief may
be prevented, the execution of the laws secured,
and the supremacy of the General Gsysrnment
maintained by the Governments own agents, until
the States can be reorganzed with safety to the
