have long leeri and cefited that the power of making war peace and treaties that 'of levying ffioncy and regulating commerce and the cof refpondent executive and judicial authorities ffiould be fully and effectually veiled in the general government of the Union: but the impropriety of delegating fuch extenfive trull to One body of men is Hence re fults the neceffity of a different Organization It
