True, that historic council failed OF its main
object but it also accomplished much that was
good as, for instance, the assertion Of the
principle of tribal equality, and that ambassadors
to the assembly from mighty Doric and Ionian
tribes should each cast but single vote along
with that OF him from the less powerful Boetians,
or Melans, Phocians-. as, our day, in the senate,
the "empire State" is no bigger than Little
Rhody' And every amphictyon took solemn
oath that in no case, should any city within the
league ever be destroyed, or its water supply be
cut off even in time OF war.
The league was to loosely joined, and endowed
with too little power to enforce its decrees--just
as our own first conederacy OF the thirteen COL

would the league to enforce peace II agreed to by
