10 The monarch and despoiisms of the old
world but II can never apply to govern'nt
IKE unto ours, founded Oh public opinion,
ard deriving It's powers directly from the
people ours possesses no powers but such
as are strictly artificial. Our complex
system OF government is distinguished bv
two traits, which il strictly adhered TO-,
can never fail, when referred to ms a polar
star, 10 direct us in the wav Of eternal
truth. The federal government beng
one Of expressly delegated powers, can do
nothing but what is specially SET forth in
the compact; Will, on the other hand,
the state government can exercise all DOW
ers not forbidden. We, gentlemen, are
the representatives of the sovereignty of
the state, are the seniineIs on The watch
tower OF liberty. Whenever the central
government shall over.leap the bounds of
the constitution, and usurp the reserved
rights OF the states, then it is our duty to
sound the alarm, That the people NAV rush
TO the standard Of the constitution 10 pres.
ervatlou Of their rights and liberty. Whc,h.
er their rights have been invaded or not.
It becomes not me to speak in this place.
II is Tor you to enquire, whether or not ia
the system Of finance and the disburse-
ments Of its revenues, the federal govern.
ment has not transcribed its powers, and
that to The manifest injury Of the people
of Mississippi Turning from illusions
to subject iraught with enormous evil.
let US sketch the outlines of our duty at
home. Ours, have said, is a govern.
ment Of unlimited powers, except 10 those
cases where the constitution has interposed
its barrier. To US is confded the regua.
tons Of those principles hich secures to
the citizen the enjoyment OF life, liberty.
and property. Should, therefore, the ex-
ising laws not answer all the ends for
which they were enacted, it is our impe
rious duty TO apply the proper corrective.
If abuses have crept into the government,
it is our duty TO reform them. II 1t shall
be found necessary, upon examination,
that that system of economy which com.
ports with our republican institutions, is
not practice, it is our duty to institute
n most rigid system Of retreuchment aud
reform. The people expect all this at our
hands.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit the to
remark, that however We may differ on
some matters Of great moment, both ieder-
al and state, there ls one thing | am sure
we shall unite in, aud that Is, paving a
most devnut and profound reverence to The
constitution, and the laws made in pursu.
ance thereof.
