That the founders Of our Govern

ed states of any right, privilege or
immunity seems too absurd 10 De
seriously contended for by anyone
and vet such is the position OF those
onnosed to the acknowledgements OF the
people of the District Of Columbia
Men admired for their wisdom nave
told us that the spirit of the Consti-
tuition is to be respected not less than
it's words. and that it's spirit Is to be
collected chiefly from its words.
What is the spirit OF the Constitu-
ton with respect to the matter under
consideration as collected from It's
words? We gather from the various
prohibitions upon the State and Fed
eral Governments and the judicious
distribution OF important powers to
each within it's sphere that the in
tent was to preserve intact the re-
publican form of our Government. IN
fact. the Constitution declares that
republican form of government shall
be secured to each State. 1t requires
no far-fetched construction OF the
Constitution TO arrive at the sonelu
