FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.

FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.
These times are not more remarkable
for fine political theories than for the
direct contradiction thereof in The prac.
tico Of those who preach them. For
instance, there is ~ This country a patty
called by way of distinction the State
Rights party. The leaders Of this par
~ carry their notions of State rights, or
the separate sovereignty of the several
SIates ofths Union, so far that they not
only denOunGe all Interference on the
part OF the people Of one STATE with the
Institutions, laws, and policy OF any 9th
rer State, butthey deny even 10 The com
omoR Government Of The whole Union
exercise of some Of the powers confer
red on that Government by tho Consti-
tuition, which every one Of the Slalos is
bound 10 support and obsy; and yet,
Notwithstanding these extravagant no.
tlons OF Stale rights, the men who preach
Ghem most loudly not only held meet.
iDgs in this State and others to encour-
age the insurgents 10 the late difficulties
in Rhode Island to resist any force the
actual and only lawful Government Of
that Stale, but were ready 10 unite with
lhem n such forcibe resistance, and thus
70 interfere with the pIainest aud mosI
nnquesIonabe rights OF the people OF
Rhode Island, even al the hazard Of civil
uwar.
So 10 reference 10 foreign nations -.
Whenever the internal affairs Of any OF
those nalions have been the subioct Of
conside Grafton, The doctrine of nuu inter.
yenllon on The part Of every other ma
zion has been urged on all sdes as the
only juSI and righlful rule OF acton; and
yet the very persons who have made
ahe greatest show Ol zeal for thie hOU
trMe VI non Intervention have acted in
utter disregard of il in tho case of Ire
land, and have eXerled themselves 10
, the utmost OF their ability to promote
s. she objocI5 OF a party IN that country
which 1t is obviousI y impossible 10 attain
except by,miilary force and Of vast OK
pense ol blood and treasure, and which,
whether altainabIe or not, hey are for
hidden TO interfere with, not merely by
their own prolessed principles, bu, by
the plainest and most solemn obligations
that eau sprlug from pacific and amcabIe
relations with The British Government,
and by the most imperative fundamental
rules OF international law.
IN saying these things, we do no,
mean 10 say that Ireland has nothing 10
complain VI III The manner in which she
has been treated by tho British Govern
,ment. On tho contrary, we balIeue that
many OF the acts of That Government in
relation 10 tho Irish people and their
interests have been unjust, oppressive,
and unwise; but, however that NAV have
neen, il is the affair oI The Government
Aad of the three Kingdoms; thoy alone
have any right 10 act in the matter; and
any combination OF effort in this country
.in co operate with one Of The parties 10
Ireland 10 accomplish iIs object, whether
these objects include The dissolution of
,he Union between the several members
81 he BRUSH Empire, or any other ques
ilon tho internal condition or policy Of
,ha, country, is as indelensibIe and un-
Uarrantable as would be a similar CON.
hluation on that side Of the water, lopro
sure a dissolution Of our own Union, or
10 control thu action Of our Government
in relation to any of Tho internal con
Germs Of the People Of the United States.
This WHO'S case iS so plum that The
good sense OF our people aud their clea.
sense Of right and wrong will, we cannot
doub., hold 10 check that hasly aud in
ronsdoraie zeal which, If lelt to its un
aud reckless course, would
involve tbs courtfy ln'the cilamilies OF
war sooner, probably, Ihan any other
question at issue between US and Great
Bri2iu; Ond ii Ia from ils tendency to
such result that this matter Of lnter-
ference 10 The domestic affairs Of anol her
nation exctes IN W The chief interest
which We leoI 10 it.

any right thus TO dslatb tho umcabe

10 produce a yirNNl coalition on the part
