It was not a lawfully created tribunal, becaose it was contrary to tbe Constitution. It was not universally accepted, because the protest against it was earnest and unceasing. And even if it had b#en lawfully crested and universally accepted, its decision was invalid and. remains invalid, be cause it adopted and consecrated fraud and declared lie* to be truth.
