II unchecked, would ultimately compass
the downfall Of our country. but we also
believe that neither represents the sober

Jurisdiction Of the United States for the
purpose OF holding foreign people as
colonial dependencies is an innovation
dangerous to our liberties and repugnant
to the principles upon which our gov
eminent Is founded. we pledge our efforts
