1t cannot, then, be saved by euloges on the Union

Union, the glorious Union!" can no more prevent

Besides, this cry of Union comes commonly from
those whom we cannot believe to be sincere. 1t usu-

they would necessarily be devoted to the Consttu-

this movement had gone into California adventures,
and it. as such they bad conquered the territory and
tabshed their independence the sovereignty of the
try would have been vested in them, separate and
Independent community In that case they would have
had the right to form constitution, and establish
government for themselves; and, if afterwards they
thought proper to apply Congress for admission into
the Union sovereign and Independent State all this
would have been regular, and according established
principle. But such is the case. 1t was the United
States who conquered California and finally acquired it
by treaty The sovereignty of course, is invested in
them, and not in the individuals who have attempted to
form constitution and State without their consent

Nor it less clear that the power of egslatne over

myself debate, and called upon both parties to take
grounds against assuming jurisdiction, but in vain.
Had my voice been needed, and had Congress refus-
ed to take jurisdiction by the united votes of all par
ties, the agitation which followed would have been
prevented, and the fanacal zeal that gives impulse
to the agitation, and which has brought Us to our
present perous condition, would have become extin
guished from the want of something to feed the flames.
That was the time for the North to show her devo-
parties of that section intent obtaining
retaining party ascendancy, that all other consdera-
tions were overlooked or forgotten.
What has since followed are but the natural con-
sequences. With the success of their first movement,
this small fanatcal party began to acquire strength
and with that to become an object Of oourtshp to both
the great parties. The necessary consequence was
further increase of power, and gradual tainting of
the opinions of both of the other parties with their
doctrines until the infection has extended over both
and the great mass of the population of the North
who, whatever may be their opinion of the ginal
abolition party, which still preserves its distinctive
organization, hardly fail, when it comes to act
ing, to cooperate in carrying out their measures.
With the increase of their influence, they extended
the sphere of their action. In short time after the
commencement of their first movement, they had ac-
qured sufficient influence to induce the Legislatures
of most of the Northern States to pass acts which in
effect abrogated the provision of the constitution that
provides for the delivery up of fugitive slaves Not
forts magazines, and dockyards and all other places
where Congress had exclusive power of legislation.
This was followed by petitions and resolutions of
Legislatures of the Northern States and popular
meetings, to exclude the Southern States from all
Territories acquired or be acquired, and to prevent
the admission of any State hereafter into the Union
which, BY it's constitution, does not prohibit slavery.
The North-Carolina standard., 1850-03-13

emigration from all quarters to that section.
This. combined with the great primary cause, amp
ly explains why the North has acquired preponder-
ance over every department of the Government by
its dispropotionate increase of population and States.
The former, as has been shown has increased in 6f-
ty years 2,4OOOOO over that of the South. This in
crease of population, during so long period, is sat-
sctorily accounted for by the number of emigrants,
and the increase of their descendants, which have
been attracted the Northern section from Europe
| and the South, in consequence of the advantages
derived from the causes assigned. If they had not
existed if the South had retained all the capital
which has been extracted from her by the fiscal ac-
tion of the Government; and if it had not been ex-
cluded by the ordinance of 87 and the Missouri COM
promise from the region lying between the Ohio and
the Mississippi rivers, and between the mississippi
and the Rocky Mountains north Of 36o 30, it scarce
y admits Of doubt that it would have divided the
emigration with the North, and by retaining her own
people, would have at least equalled the North in
population under the census of 1910, and probably
under that about to be taken. She would also, If she
had retained her equal rights in those Territories.
have maintained an equality in the number Of States
with the North, and have preserved the equilibrium
between the two sections that existed at the COM
mencement of the Government The loss then of the
equilibrium is be attributed to the action of this
Government.
But, while these measures were destroying the
equilibrium between the sections, the action of
the Government leading to radical change in it
its character, by concentrating all the power of the
system in ITSELF The occasion will not permit me
to trace the measures by which this tchange has
been consummated. If it did. it would not be diff
cult to show that the process commenced at an early
period of the Governments that it proceeded, almost
without Interruption step by step, and it absorbed
virtually Its entire powers. But, without going
through the whole process to establish the fact, It
may be done satisfactorily by very short statement.
That the Government claims, and practically MAIN
alns, the right to decide in the last resort to tn
extent OF its powers, will scarcely be denied by any
ono convsrsant with the political history Of the coun-
