And under eVery change of the adminis tration of theGovern'ment from that time to this, (upWa1rls of40years) they have le gislated on the same principles, and the constitutionality was neveri questioned; until within a Jew years past. , those men, executive aful. legislative, were all sworn to support the Constitution of the United btates, and- it cannot be:that they -were so ignorant as hot tp understand it, nor yet so corrupt tts to legislate' contrary to the proyisionsjit contained j for many of mem were itmn oi superior taients na integrity, anj! of more political honesty 4ind real patriotism, than can be found in the same.nuhiber at the present dav.
