To get rid of the dispensing power the nation both nations subjected
themselves to the certain mischiefs and incalculable hazards of a
Revolution and here ever since the Revolution has been
a dispensing power exercised by the King's Judges judges. Exercised
at the suggestions of priestcraft, the dispensing power costs
the King his throne: exercised at the suggestions of lawyer-craft
that habitual violation of the fundamental principles of the constitution same usurpation riots effects its purposes
without concern or observation.
It is bad enough when the statute law, the declared code of
the acknowledged sovereign, experiences contempt instead of obedience
among the people at large body of the people. It is still much worse when
the Judges themselves are the persons who set the example of
disobedience. Elsewhere disobedience may be the result of ignorance:
and care is tak under the management of lawyer-craft,
the existence of this exercise is every where but ground of extenuation in every instance
too probable.
