therefore no such application could be
made by England to the Washington
Government as had been suggested.

law. prov.ding as II doeY for a perfect
lv fair representation of all classes and

every honest fair-mibded citizen, and any
attempt to alter or subvert its provisions
must be taken as an attempt and
declaration OF intention to reopen the

is fraught with danger and must lead 10
most serious consequences. II only the

gravity of the situation? II so, arouse,

protest that this infamy shall be imme-
