nropery estimate the immense value OF your ma
t,onal [ uon. 10 your collective and Individual hap
piness-that you should cherish cordial, habltual
and i'nmOyabe attachment u II accustOmlnG your
selves % think and speak Of il as of the palladium

financing whatever may suggest even a suspicion
tat il can, in any event, be abandoned and indig
nantly irownng upon the first dawning OF every at
tempt to ALLEVIATE any portion Of our country from
the rest or to enfceble the sacred ties which now
Ink together the various parts
Notwithstanding what may occasionally appear
On the surface, the American mind is deeply i'm.
bued with the spirit of this advice The people,
vhen serious danger threatens, WILL in my opinion,
aand fast by their Government. They ~lll suiier
no imparing of its ioundation-no overthrow OF its
columus-no disorganization OF its structure. The
Union and the Constitution are to stand and what
we have to do is 50 to administer the Government
that all men shall be made more and more sensi-
bic OF It's benefccnt operations and It's lnestmable
value
It's not inappropriate that should accompany
this answer to your letter 10y the copy OF a recent
correspondence between Hon. Hugh n. Smith
delegate from New Mexico, now in this city, and
myself
! have the honor to be, gentlemen, with pro
found regard, your obliged fellow citizen, and obedi-
ent humble servant. DANItL WEBSTER.
