nd the following
ADDRESS.
Ladies and Gentlemen: There seems
10 be abroad such a strange lack Of in
formation regarding some simple and
sIemenfasy principles of Law that 10
sssmssomething ought 10 be said author
itatively by some one, to SONS proper
organ Of the people. 10 air and publish
thoss principles.
You are the BODY 10 whom IL an b. to
b said, and am the one who ought to
~ L. The report which you have Just
pressnted affords fitting occasion.
There are among rs, aud elsewhere
throughout the United States, a great
variety of sociesi and combinations of
parsons Some exist for ons purpase
and some for another. As q general
thing each IL seeking an innocent, and,
perhaps, praisewortby object, and - en-
titled 10 the APPRECIATION and favor of
the Law. But as persons may combine
for lawful. 20 they pay-and unhsp
pily someti6ne do-for unlawful purpo
scs- A combination to accomplish an
unlawful purpose, OF a lawful purpose
by unlawful means, Ia called osa-
spirAcy, and II it proceeds q single step
In furtherance of its end, IL deserves TO
- 90 once opposed enerReticsils by all
Who love the law and desire peace.
Tbs unlawful ombinatieu may take
the form OF a firmly oompaoted and
carefully ordered organic ,tion, or u
may have the iooser eoherenoe Of a
committee or O mere ssenbisgs. IL
matters not what form il may take; IL
The persons Who compose IL are COM
binsa for a common and unlawful pur-
peso, and are acting 10 pursuance Of
that purpose, there Is a conspiracy, in
dictsbie and punishable.
ALI rights in politioal society are re-
lated 10 and Complementary OF the
rights OF others. Government is for all
men indiscriminstsiy. A free govern
msnt 10 NO respecter Of persons IL
cannot give to one class more rights
Than 10 others without abridgiug the
fiahts Of those others. 1t cannot allow
O0r SA8S1 W taAt " lt6 AnNlr Atk1AH
than other ciasses without allowing
that class to oppress those others IL
cannot allow one class to define what
rights another class shall have without
deesrting lie governmental trust, and
dsiivsring over to the latter class to
irfedreesibls tyranny.
A citizen cAnues divide his allegiance.
and give Il partly 20 bis government
and partly 70 ssne society, or league,
