Have No Power, By Taxation Or Otherwise,

No Political Dreamer Was Ever Wild Enough To Think Of Breaking Down The Lines Which Separate The States And Compounding The American People Into One Common Mass.

The Federal Government Is Acknowledged By All To Be One Of Enumerated Powers. The Principle, That It Can Exercise Only The Powers Granted To It . . . Is Now Universally Admitted.

The Law Does Not Expect A Man To Be Prepared To Defend Every Act Of His Life Which May Be Suddenly And Without Notice Alleged Against Him.

In A Free Government Almost All Other Rights Would Become Worthless If The Government Possessed Power Over The Private Fortune Of Every Citizen.

The People Made The Constitution, And The People Can Unmake It. It Is The Creature Of Their Own Will, And Lives Only By Their Will.
