1t has become proper TO say something on this

those OF the native citizens When foreigner
Is naturaiZed, he takes the oath "to support t se
I constitution of the United States" This renders
it not only his right, but his duty, to Judge
whether that instrument has been violated BY
any of the parties to it. The parties who made
and adopted the Constitution, az a compact be-
tween them, are the States. The general gov.
eminent is heir agent, to exercise the limited
powers entrusted to it by the Constitution No
allegiance can be due to the agent,-but must
be owed by all citizens to the principals of this
agents.--to the States. Nor can allegiance be
due from one citizen TO all these principals
to all the States; because they all sovereigns,
and man cannot have some thirty sovereigns
at one and the same time, to whom his allegiance
is due Ii that were the case, and these States
should fall out and 60 to war, he would be legal
~ guilty of treason whichever side he took, and
might be punished as traitor for defending the
State in which he lived against one whose borders
he had never crossed.

zens of the other States, and like them, in con.
sequence of these privileges and immuniiies, he
is called citizen of the United S, The
State in which he lives is his sovereign. He
owes ailsgiance to this sovereign, and obedience
to the laws of the general government so long
IS they are over him by the consent of the

as an independent party to the constitutional
compact, on account of its violation by the
parties, she releases all obligations of all her
citizens to obey any longer the laws of the
general government; and naturalized citizens
are bound by their allegiance to support her in
her assertion of independence; and before the
States has seeded, it is their duty to judge
whether her constitutional compact with the
State has been broken and whether it is
polite that she should take the final step of Sc
paration for the purpose of securing to them, as
well as to her native citizens, the enjoyment OF
their rights and institutions. They have all the
privileges, and all the obligations, of citizen OF
South Carolina. More than these they can
neithre have nor desire to have.
