And Chief Justice Story, in his great work on the Constitution, declares that, " to subject the press to the restrictive jwwer of a licenser is to subject all freedom of senti ment to the predjudiccs of one man, and to make him the arbitrary and infallible Judge of all controverted points." Our fathers were especially careful to hedge these rights about with constitu tional enactments, which are so strong that we must conclude they intended to put them forever beyond the reach of any assault. A few quotations from the Con stitution of the United States, and that of the State of Pennsylvania, will show how very strong are the barriers which the framers thereof tried to set up to prevent any possible assault ujon these most sacred and invaluable ri-hts of the people. a CT " "' ii' e l-KOM THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNTIED STATES. 1 The following amendment to the Coast i- i w ri-it.iTitti .... .. .. !'
