did in his day, the true province of the
Republican Governn ent to be the protec-
ton of rights and not of interests, to de-
fend the reserved rights of the States and
people and oppose Capitalization that
would impair or destroy constitutional
rights or independence of other depart
ments, as executive and legislative de-
partments, under their rule have done in
over slaughing honest iopinions of the
Supreme Court of the United States, by
increasing their numbers and the appoint
ment of new Judges, who are subseryient
to executive and legislative will.
1t opposes all interference by law with
private affairs or business of men not re.

the indignant reprobation Of the people,
jealous of their rights.
