when the Supreme Court declares.
as it does declare in this case, that Con-
gress and not the State has the right to
decide what shall be sold and what
shall not be sold within the limit Of
each State, it is revolution.
"Itis a revolution that can only be
met by force; and it is the duty ofeve-
~ patriotic American to arm himself.
TO provide himself with powder ard
ball, and to organize for armed resist
ance to any attempt to carry out this
decision, whether in his own State or in
any other State.
There can be no appeal to the bal
lot-box. Though every citizen in the
United States should vote against
this decision, their 100000 ballots
would not disturb il. II cannot be re-
pealed, or changed, or amended. Six
ty millions of people are helplessly in
the grip Of these six infallible Caesars,
who can do no wrong. There is no le-

the force OF arms-to overthrow this
treason and rebellion ofthese SIX men
