made this renunciation of arbitrary power, and which faithfully respects its pledges, a right-minded citizen may well entertain a sentiment of unqualified devotion. Such a birthright is not to be lightly regarded; but it is more than a birthright, it is a sacred trust. To maintain it may require no dangerous exposure and no cruel sacrifice, but only vigilant activity; but, if the call should come, it would be the duty of every citizen to offer freely upon the altar of its defense his possessions, his person, and his life.
