Halaman 337 - was exceedingly disposed to please the king and to do him service." "It could never be hoped," he observes elsewhere, " that more sober or dispassionate men would ever meet together in that place, or fewer who brought ill purposes with them.
Halaman 10 - Appeals, too, are constantly made to sectional interests in order to influence the election of the Chief Magistrate, as if it were desired that he should favor a particular quarter of the country instead of fulfilling the duties of his station with impartial justice to all; and the possible dissolution of the Union has at length become an ordinary and familiar subject of discussion.
Halaman 42 - ... the legal check which it puts into the hands of the judiciary. This is a body which, if rendered independent and kept strictly to their own department, merits great confidence for their learning and integrity.
