promise of the govcmtneiit was the
protnise of even- citiien that a mttinoal
obligation was a personal debt, and that
do possible combimiLkin of wonis and

otteroil the splendid truth tiiat " tlie
higher obligations among men are not set
down in writing, si nei aad scaled. lJt
reside in honor." He knew that jvpeta

without tiurailer, wi:hifit integrity,
there is no such wealth, and lb at below
