A jtistifioatkoc is soiuetimes set up by the claim ants of tMs power 'ipon toe ground of necessity in saving what is denominated the life of tbe nation. There can be no rreater necessi ty, in a government made by mixed and prescribed powers, than tbe strict observance of constitutional obligation, both by rulers and people. There is a greater necessity for this strict adherence to legal and constitutional re striction, in periods of storms and coiamotion, in times of great pressure and excitement, than in the calm sunshine of peace and general order. There can be no life of the nation other than that which pulsates through the heart of the constitution, sending, its life currante through the great arteriea of the law, to every part oftbe body politic, giving li and health and vigor to tbe whole system. The aoOner the American people and those entrusted with the powers of the government ahall become cognizant of thie great political truth, tbe motto permanent will be the hopea of evnstitu tiooal liberty, and the wtorerationat tbe faith 10 man s capaeitj for self-government.'
