law, may bid as well a savage beast. !"
Then it goes on to denounce the judi

"Resolved, that no nation in which
the people are totally disregarded can

we urge upon all liberty loving citi-
zeps to remember and obey article 2 of
the constitution, which reads as follows:
"The right of people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed."
