that there is a vitality in the Con.
stitution which THEY cannot des-
troy. The pretended amendment
is mere sham. No honest Court
will ever hold it binding. In the
northern States it has been rushed
through under popular excitement.
,At the South it has been forced
uDon the people against their
solemn protests. As now stands,
however, the United States are at
an endl This is no longer a FEEDER
