ver subjects not allowed by the Constitution and there is no power in the general government to gainsay it. Charles Sumner, associated in the Northern mind with John Brown, as a semi-inspired apostle, spoke in 1854 in lofty scorn of according to the Supreme court the power of fastening such interpretation as they see fit upon any law, and so tyrannical as to imperil the liberty of the entire nation should they be recognized as binding precedents.

The heart-beat was passionate in all sections but New England— our country right or wrong. (Schouler's History of the United States, vol. 4, p. 528.)
