What says the Constitution of the u S. upon
TINS main doctrine OF amalgamation of all rights TO
be executed by the government of this Union 20
The people Of this Union anticipated the DOS
sibity of this frighiful and mons,rous usurpaion:
and as safeguard against even this possbibility.
caused the following amendments to be annexed TO
the Constitution of the u. S. Amendment Ill
" The enumeration, in the constitution of certain
rights, shall not be construed 10 deny or dsparage
Others, retained by the people,
IL Z" The powers not delegated to the u. S. by
the constitution nor prohibited by it, TO the states,
are reserced TO the states respectively, or to the
people" The same principle of retained rights bv
the people, Is solemnly declared in every state con-
stiiuiion, winch has any reference TO that subject
In open defiance of all these solemn declarations
made by the people of this Union, in their b,eb So
vereign Character the political fashionables AS the
writer conccives, have unblushipgly and contemn
tuousy ,rampled under foot all these great fun
damental truths, and substituted for them the fan
tastical, unlimited discretion of Legislators
Ihis circumstance itself affords ample matter for
observation. 1t shall receive some consideration
hereafter.
Let The analogy be ske,ched between the
political conquences of the authors doctrine of
national unity, S: p. A IS doctrine of common So
cal compact, as applied in his Ohio letters and the
following doctrine taken from lis Inaugural Adj
dress:
Il" To the topic of internal Improvement, emphs-
ucahy urged by him In his inauguration recur
with peculiar satisfaction. II is that from which
am convinced that unborn millions of our poseri,y

ders OF his Union, that, in which the benefcent
action OF ais government, will be most deeply felt
and acknow ledsed''

deducible from the rules adopted by p A. in inter
presing the Constitution OF the u S. shall form the
subject Of the next No.
In the meantime; for the analogy ,.eiucible from
the inaugural address, the reader is respectfully re-
ierred to No. B. of these disqusitions printed The
ION April last, before the writer had seen Raw
Inonds book; and for that teducible from the Ohio
letter TO review thereof, printed the 25,h Februa
ny last
10 enable the reader trace this analogy with the
"sfe tacity, you are now requested Messrs Editors
10 repupsh that review which has been reconsider
eo and corrected 1t may thus form part of this No
rms request calls for some additional printing but.
II inc writer be not much deceived in his views nj
THIS solemn suhject 1t calls for much writing. much
printing, much reading, much consderatIon and
much practical counteraction from the people of L.
U. s., 10 save their precious rights ard liber-
Ties, rom the deprecated tendencies of the doctrines
asserted by the practical government OF 90 this o.

straints, solemnly imposed upon it by the iunda-
