As long:s; it is held sacred aud in violablei -as long as it continues to be rt:5ieeted as the unchangeable palla dium of our liberties, as " long as it continues to be administered accord- ing AO that spirit, or if I may so term it, that soul wnicn was originally breathed within it, so long will our Jiberlies endure.
