sueh psrtsof The inslrumentas may be brought
into question. In a word, we have before us
the great work of building up a new legisla-
ave and judicial code. Unwise laws at he
brginhiag, or unsound Judicial Interpretation,
win almost certainly be followed by evil con-
sequences, which il will be all but impossible
to correct in after times
You have done me the honor to advert in
very complimentary and gratifying terms to a
speech delivered By me in the house of Rep
Fesentatives on the bin to admit the States of
Iowa aud Florida into the Union. That
speech was delivered alta period ofpublic tran
guilty, and before the feelings and passions
Of the public had been excited and reused by
the agitation of thequestion of the annexation
of Texas and the other great, disturbing and
unhappy controversies that have since flowed
from that measure, as their common and PR
mary source. have been led to reflect what
Influence the great valley of the Mississippi, in
which we dwell was destined to have on the
stability Of the Union. Ny own reflections
coiidused me to the conclusion that the sure
aud abiding conservative power of the Union
was to be found in that great heart of the
country which lies between the Allegheny
and Rocky mountains that for its own self.
preservation it must ever hold in check the
Centrifugal tendencies ofthe extremes both on
Atlantic and Pacific, and especially on the for.
mer ocean-that nature as duty of overrul-
ing necessity to ourselves, had made US guard
ians of the integrity oft Union And how
ever the political elements have since been ag-
itated and disturbed, shall adhere with abid-
ing faith to every opinion then uttered By me.
But enoughhas since transpired to satisfy all
Fcool and rejecting men that in the perform
ance of the high duty and destiny of guarding
the integrity Of the Union, while we must ex-
act from all others faithful observance of the
requirements of the Constitution, we must
ourselves be equally ready and willing to re-
spect all the rights that are secured to them
BY thatinstrument Its only by the observ-
ance of this rule on all sides and in all parts of
The country, that we can hope to get on, and
preserve our. national existence
In conclusion, Gentlemen, again return
you my sincere thanks forsthis gratifying de-
.nenstration on your part, which carries with
it true promise that, as in all former times,
the county Of Muskingum viii, at the coming
election, be found true to her own interests
and those of our noble State
