Extract

In treating of the above subject, it cannot be expected that any new principles will be put forward, or that any great amount of novelty will be found in the method of handling the question. All that I have aimed at is, to apply acknowledged principles to the discussion of a question of considerable practical interest at all times, and more peculiarly so at the present time.
