In Thus attempting to make our General

pose, a wTitISD contract o union and po-
litical partnerships conaiution. Without
such written constitution the minority
would, in governments, as necessarily be
exposed TO the tyranny OF the majority, as
in the case put of common mercantile part
nershp. As in the mercantile partner
ship We have seen that the unrestraiued
majority might take all the profits TO them
selves, so ia the political partnership, the
numerical majority E,ight perpe.rate equal
injustice and oppression; it might, for in
stance, levy high taxes exclusively upon
the minority, and appropriate all the money
arising thereby, to the benefit Of the n'ajo-
Ity--somei'ing which is proposed TO To-
done by the American System Of Nj
Clay.
Mr. Gays prime pie OF the power OF pc
puiar numbers is opposed to HE reason. the
theo y, The designs of the constitution. H.,
III fact, strikes al the very foundation and
object Of the constitution. Constitute nal
government and Mr.. Clay's principle can
not exist together; for the constitutional
compact must be superior TO the mere
phrenzy of popular majorlties, or it must
yield thereto and cease to exist. As well
might bare majority in the case OF com
mon partnership, vote away their contract
with, and TO trampe on the rights OF. the
minority, as a simple numerical political
majority TO over-reach the constitution and
destroy the rights and liberties CT The lesser
number.
The democratic party is as much attach
ed as is Mr.. Clay or any of his friends, 10
the principle Of majoriries. We desire to
act in conformity N the will of the people
as expressed in the conSti Mion. We know
that that instrument was framed in spirit
of cancellation and compromise; that its
glorious benefits would never have been
hegueathed 10 us, if it had not secured the
rights of all, those OF the minority as well
