" Our conflicts with Federal usurpation
are not yet at an end the events Of the past
year have afforded us new cause for distrust
and dissatisfaction. Contrary to the enight-
ened opinions and just expectations Of the
people Of this, and every other State In the
Union, a majority Of the Judges Of the SUI
preme Court Of the United States, have not
only assumed jurisdiction.in the case Of Wor-
cester and Butler, but have by their decision
attempted 10 overthrow that essential iuris-
dlction of the State, ia criminal cases, which
have been vested by cnr Constitution ia the
Superior Courts OF orr own State. In con-
fortnity with their decision mandate was is
sued, directed to our Court, ordering a reyer-
sal of the decree under which those persons
are imprisoned, thereby attempting and in-
tending to PROSTATE the sovereignty Of
this State il the exercise OF its constitu-
tional, criminal Jurisdiction. These extra
ordinary proceedings ofths Supreme Court,
have not been submitted 70 me officially,
any manner. which called for my Official
action. / have however been prepared
to meet this usurpation of Federal power,
with the most prompt and determined resis-
lance, In whatever form its enforcement might
have been attempted. by any branch of The
Federal Government. It has afforded me
great satisfaction 70 ind. that, our whole peo-
pie, as with the voice Of one man, havelmani-

luton to sustain the authorities and sOye-
reignty OF their State against this unjust and
unconstitutional encroachnent Of the Federal
