This obstinate pcryorse pfuciiyity ~, IN
reality, in slricl, obedience 10 a political
law, the offspring of the moral oblilllty oI
the human heart. The lesser. numerical
", and richer interest, has always been
the subject of plumber by the greater and
poorer interest. 1t is historically true,
moreover, that in every Confedcracy,
where Tic principle OF the concurrent ma
iori,y is not practically recognized, the
ccntripclal is stronger Than the centrifugal
tendency of the parties; further, that in the
usurpal.ions generally commence, and are
pnrinlcnls. In relation 10 our Federal in

proportions, to further the reviiers and sap

Congressional c~naCtinents, the North in tho
various branches OF industry, has been
forced into a condition Of unexampled
wealth aud power, the advancement OF The
