How to Preserve the Union.

We copy the following elegant and patriotic extract
from the Farewell Address Of Gen Jackson:
But the Constitution cannot be maintained nor the
Union preserved, in opposition public feeling by the
exerOn Of the cOercve powers cOnded TO the Gen.
eral Government The foundations must be laid in the
affections of the people; in the security gives life
liberty character and property every quarter Of the
country and in the fraterna attachments which the ct-
of the several States bear another members
Of one political family, mutually contributing promote
the happiness of each other Hence the citizens Of every
State should stnousy avoid every thing calculated to
wound the sensibty offend the Just pride Of the peo-
pie Of other States and they should rown upon any
ceedings within their borders likely disturb the
tranquility Of their political brethren in other portions OF
the Union In country so extensive as the United
States and with pursuits varied, the internal regua-
tons OF the several States frequently differ from
another in important PARTICULARS and this difference
is unavoidaby increased by the varying principles upon
which the American colonies were originally planted
principles which had taken deep in their social
laOns before the revolution, and therefore, OF necessity
influencing their policy, since they became free and
independent States But each State has the unques-
fionabe right regulate its internal concerns
eording to its own pleasure; and while does not inter-
fere with the rights Of the people of other States the
rights Of the Unon every State must be the sole Judge
Of the proper 10 the safety oil Its ct
zens and promote their happiness and all efforts the
part Of the people Of other States odum upon
their institutions, and all measures calculated to disturb
their rights Of property, to put jeopardy their
peace and internal tranquility in direct opposition
the spirit in which the Union was formed and must en-
danger its safety Motives Of philanthropy may be as
signed for this unwarrantabe interference; and weak
men may persuade themselves for moment that they
are aborng in the Of humanity and asserting the
rights OF the human but every one sober
nectOn will see that nothing but mischief can come
from these improper assaults upon the feelings and rights
Of Rest assured that the found busy in this
work Of discord worthy of your confidence, ant
