The Government TO put forth lite overwhelming
strength and crush out this wicked and unholy re-

10 demand it-for liberty and commerce are identical,
because the condition Of successful commerce Is IN

il cannot exit without protection. 1t implies mo
raty because without faith among men II Is impob-
sible and IL implies justice az the necessary hTbicf

commerce which is here this day Represented, de-
claIes to the whole world that tue territorial hmits
