The LETTER OF Ex-VIcE PRESIDENT Dali
LAs.-The recent letter of Ex Vice President
Dallas, published in the Texas papers, assumes
that the compromises of the Constitution will
not be adhered to, presumption which we do
not subscribe to, and which is not warranted by
the facts We believe that the Constitution, as
it exists, furnishes ample protection for the
rights of every section of the Union. 1t is
neither necessary nor expedient, Mt the present
time, to introduce such an exciting discussion
as Mr.. Dallas would raise in his proposition to
amend the Constitution. The following is the
gst of his letter.
"With me there is no doubt that if my coun-
trymen be given the Legitimate opportunity, they
will expressly and unqualfedly prohibit, sooner
or later, what have heretofore humbly be-
lieyed they had by the strongest implication al
ready prohibited They will prohibit from be-
ing forced by the sophistries of zealots to enact
the part of consolidation; they will place the
constitutional cannon, too palpable for miscon-
struction, against the self slaughter of inter
meddling with institutions and rights exclu-
siyely of State creation, State responsibility,
and State control; they will render it impossi-
BILE, by any process short of treason and revo-
luton, to convert the confederacy into the
means Of destroying the equality of its own
behests of some higher law, starting up like
the cyultica of the minute, from the ever
ranging and incalculable phantases of the inner
man
SAT last it has become quite manifest Qhas it
not? and why repress our convictions y that
the expectations fondly INDUCED, of tranquil
lizing the country by the legislative measures,
is delusive. The act for the extradition of fu-
gitives is the pretext for protracted and perse-
yering war upon the guarantees of the Consh-
tuition; and if we are to raise the siege to which
that instrument is still subjected, can we do
better than reinforce it from the arsenal and
with the orders of the people? desire nothing
so much as the safety of the Union-place it
beyond the striking distance Of cunning as well
mad fanaticism-do this, if you can, without
resorting to the final remedy; but if you can
not, then give to the Constitution an express,
positive, prohibitory amendment, which shall
forever end the entanglements and pretexts of
Interpretation.
