There also was observable to the

Against this statement there Is no
possible argument save on sophistical
grounds; for there yet remain the un-

exceeded that made for those of the

From the moment OF the downfall

which can no more be dignifed by the
appellation "a Northern success" than
can the cruchXion OF the only begot-

RomanD, there was placed in active
and in constantly increasing areas OF
operation new national dogma, viz:
The right of the majority is to cruelty
the minority and to abrogate for this
end every basic principle OF consti-
tutional law.
Nor has this application OF the cruel
folly Of the North been confined in
its application to rights of person. OF
property. OF reputation and of pleasure
as inherent Ia white human beings in
their individual and in their collective

so extended that ii boldly attacks the

God, furiously attacking His will de-

that the Southerner was, at the time
OF its passage, disenfranchiscd; the
doctrine of majority. first has attacked
the very creative power OF almighty
God as evil; declaring his laws as ex-
hibited in the creation of the house

In that there Is but one God, and
that all His creatures exhibit either
on the one hand departure from, and
on the other approximations to His
love. His powers and His purposes; it
must be obvious that those who ap-
proximate Him in their powers and In
their principles, are extremely few;
and that the departure from His pow

beings constantly shows an increase
in number as, the degree of departure
grows.
Logically, therefore. the doctrine OF
majority feat as proper substitute
for constitutional law. which has az It's

the right OF the individual against
