“During the contest of opinion
through which we have passed the animation of discussions and
of exertions has sometimes worn an aspect which might impose on
strangers unused to think freely and to speak and to write what
they think; but this being now decided by the voice of the nation,
announced according to the rules of the Constitution, all will,
of course, arrange themselves under the will of the law, and unite
in common efforts for the common good.”
