... some irregularities, it was adopted by the manifest will of the nation, and consented to by all orders in the state. Not its legality but its wisdom is to be questioned, together with the false and dangerous theories of government which dictated it. There is no compact or mutual stipulation between the state and the government. The state, under God, is sovereign, and ordains and establishes the government, instead of making a contract, a bargain, or covenant, with it. The common democratic doctrine on this point is right, if by people is understood the organic people ...

She selected it, bought it, engaged a woman architect—Lois Howe of Boston—and followed the latter's work from beginning to end.

After the fall of Charleston the real misery of the inhabitants began.

Not a vestige of power over the country was left to the Ghoorkhas; the entire rule was transferred to ...

It must also be remembered, per contra, that dishonest foreign merchants will take out passes to cover native-owned goods. The difficulty in securing due observance of treaty rights lies ...
