STATE RIGHTS.

r respectfully solicit Of all parts of the country,
l. patronage for my work on this momentous sub
ject. 1t is an entirely impartial and careful inves
cation Of the principles of Union--for the pre-
servaon of the Union--defning and illustrating the
real spirit and bearing Of all our political elements
and having no partisan or personal object whatever.
ltwould not become me to speak particularly Of
the appreciation with which the work has been re-
ceived. II has been taken by many of the most dis
tingIished men in the country, including the Pres-
dent, heads of Departments, and members of both
Houses of Congress.
The subject will continue TO be one of great and
increasing import Ii is involved continually in tho
movements Of some Of the States, and in our Ma
tional Legislation ! am the more earnest that the
work should be encouraged, because wish 10 be
abed TO publish further upon the subject. ! hum
bly, yet very confidently, that ii is still OBJ
securely comprehended, by those whose positions
render clear and broad perception of il peculiarly
important; and that this arises from their being
deeply conversant with the REASON OF political re-
laons. ] ardently desire 10 enter again this field of
mighty principles and of close and candid raliocina-
ton. / pray the North to be quiet ere they 20 too
far and the South still TO adorn their rectitude with
an heroic patience.
II remains only for me more particularly TO oeer
the work. Will not individuals at a distance unite
in ordering it Should any person be pleased to
transmit me one dollar, will Immediately forward
four copies. ESTWICK EVANS,
