"thai all poljticul power is vested in and derived from the people; that" all government, of right, originates from the people, and is founded upon their will only :" that u the people of the state have the in-herent, sole, and exclusive right of. regulating the internal government and police thereof, aud of altering and abolishing their constitution and form of government :" and thai •• every such right should be exi reised in pur-snanceof 1: -v. and on tsisieutly with the constitution ol the L'uited ;-1;■:. ••." Acknowletlging the existence of these fundamental principles, in the fullest latitude consistent with their liable eonst i tie) ion. i shall pi i hat that those people, who, in a-gen-eration bygone, asserted these golden ; truths as'the rights of man and gifts of God, in order to protect the fixed law, which they then made, and these l very rights aud gifts, from the rash hands of all future generations of the lieople. inserted in that very uxedjlaw a provision, whereby were cut oft'and I prohibited all means for ascertaining ■ whether " the people of the state would ' exercise their .sole, exclusive and in- ' heretit right of altering their conskita- I tion," and thus enjoy the benefit of. i these sacred rights. They made it (says this answer,) a part of the trxad law, that " w« comiHtiiin of the petple xlmll hi railed hi/ the fleneral <i««s,i«!y Hale** ha l'i'■iimmm HIT »/ lini thirdi of nil //m metier* of each haute of thefc*- ! end IIAI'W'I/I/."

I .'ay that though tliis ciinstitiitioii wasi Buidfi by a geueration of people who existed when it was made, and that genera-tion has passed away and another suc-ceeded, still the constitution has been •neither abolished nor altered ; there-fore, the presumption exists, conclu-sively, that it is as much the will of the preseut generation of the people as it was of that gene.ation of people who made it.
