it seems to me, the first revocably false STEP, You
refused to abide by Of the tribunal pro-

cent the verdict Of the people rendered under the
constitutional form, when adverse to you, The
barriers which had been provided for inst such, an
emergency you, in theat and impatienee,: threH
down. No written Constitution can possibly be
made strong enough m itself to restrain the people,
unless thew themselves are wise and ecalni enough
to see, even ia their hottest moments, even when
the termination to grasp coveted object or secure

You have suffered the penalty of your intemper.

We, too, if I am not very much mistaken, have q
day Of reckoning in store for us, painful sober

Now you can see clearly enough to-day, WHERE
YOUR interest lies. Ifyou invoke the Constitution
It is not hard to find the reason you need most, ter
