le.s the States mean 90 surrender Their soFer-
eigniy and to become dependant satellites Of
central power.
This resistance of State Rights Democracy
resolved 10 make in the Presidential election
Of 1852. They resolved that the resolutions
of '9s and 90 should be incorporated into the
platform Of the party, aud that a candidate.
should be presented Of whose devotion to
State Rights no suspicion could be felt. They
were successful on both issues. The princi-
ples Of Jefferson and Madison were re-asserted
bv the Baltimore Convention, and Franklin
Pierce. a consistent and jealous disciple OF the
state Rights school, was nominated for the
Presidency.
This was all the work ofState Rights Dem
ocrals. The platform was State Rights trl-
umph--the nomination was State Rights
triumph.
The election of Mr.. Pierce was accomplish
ed mainly through the instnmentaity OF
State Rights Democrats /; and they looked
with confidence to him for the vindication
Of their principles. The profier Of the first
place in his Cabinet to the most eminent
champion Of State Rights since the death OF
Calhoun, gave assurance, that President Pierce
would not disappoint the hopes of his friends.
We have nowin his first Message to Congress
the most authoritative and satisfactory justi-
fcation Of the confidence which State Rights
Democrats reposed in Mr.. Pierce, and the
best guaranty of his devotion to their princi-
pies. We find the resolutions Of '9S and 99
are not barren abstractions,n but that they
constitute the creed in accordance with which
the policy Of the Administration is to be de-
termined We hear again from the Federal
Executive, declaration of allegiance to the
principle ofstrict-construction, and State Sow
ereignty, for which the disciples Of the Vngin-
ia School, have contended since the remarka-
Die era of 90 We hear the President Of the
United States avow his purpose to resist the
encroachments Of Federal power, and to con
strue the constitution in the spirit Of Madison,
We hear him conjure Congress to respect the
rights of the States and to abstain from the
exercise Of any doubtful principle of Federal
power. And his opinions are not expressed
only in general defamation. lie brings his
principles to bearon practical issues, and pro-
poses to carry them outin practical legislation
