This is moral trcason Witness the contrast furnished
| by patriot: 9The unity of government which con-
stutes you people is also dear you Il just
" for il main pillar in the edi6ce Of your real in
dependence the support Of your tranquility at home your
peace abroad Of your safety Of your prosperity of that
very liberty which you highly prize But as il is easy
TO foresoe that from different causes and from different
quarters much pains win be taken many articles employ
ed to weaken in your minds the conviction Of this truth
as this is the point in your political fortress against which
the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most
constantly and actively Though often coyerty and in
sidously) drcetedit is Of infinite moment that you
should properly estimate the immense value of your nation
al Union to your collective and individual happiness that
you should cherish cordial habitua and immoyablc at
taehmcn IL accustoming yourselves to think and to
speak of palladium Of your political safety and pros
pcrty watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety
dscountenancng whatever may suggest a suspicion
that in any be abandoned and Indignantly
any portion Of country from the rest sfeble The
sacred ties which link together The Varous parts.
For this you have every inducement of sympathy and
interest Citizens by birth choice of common coun-
try that country has right TO your affections
The of AMERICAN, which belongs to you in your ma
tona capacity always exalt the just pride of patriot
ism than any appcaon derived from local dscrim-
nations With slight shades of difference you have the
same religion manners habits and political principles
You have in cause, fought and triumphed
gether The independence and liberty you possess the
work of joint councils and joint efforts Of dangers
suiierngs, and success
But these considerations however powerfully they adj
dress themselves your sensibty greatly outweghed
by those which apply Immediately your interest
Here every portion of country finds the
mandng motives for carefully guarding and preserving
the union of the whole.
"The NORTH in unrestraned intercourse with the South
finds in the productions of the latter great additional
of maritime and commercial enterprise and pre-
cous materials of manufacturing industry The South, in
the same intercourse benciting by the agency of
the North secs its agriculture grow and its
pand Turning partly into its channels the
of the North it finds its particular navigation invigorated
and while contributes in different ways noursh
increase the general of the national navigation If
looks forward to the protection of maritime strength
which itself is unequay adapted The East in like inter-
course with the West in the progressive improvement Of
interior communications by land and water viii and
more find valuable vent for the commodities which it
brings from abroad manufactures at home The West
derives from the East supplies requisite its growth and
comforts and what perhaps Of still greater consequence
ii Of necessity the enjoyment of the inds
pensablc outlets for its productions the weight in
uence and future maritime strength Of the Atlantic side
! Of the Union directed by indssolube community Of
interest nation Any other tenure by which the
West hold this essential advantage whether derived
from its separate strength, from apostae and
unnatural connexon with any foreign power be in
trnsically precarious.
while then every part of country thus feels
mediate and particular interest in union all the parts
bined fail find in the united Of and
efforts greater strength greater resource proportionably
greater security from external danger less frequent inter
rupon Of their peace by foreign nations and what i of
nesmable value they must derive from union exemp-
ton from those bros and between themselves which
so frequently act ncghborng countries not tied together
by the same government which their vaships alone
would be sufficient produce but which opposite foreign
alliances attachments and ntrgues would stimulate and
embite Hence likewise they win avoid the necessity Of
those overgrown military establishments which under any
form Of government inauspcous liberty and which
be regarded particularly hostile republican
liberty In this IL is that your union ought be
considered a main prop Of your liberty, and that the
love Of the ought endear you the preservation
the other.
"These considerations speak persuasive language
every rejecting and vrtuous mind and exhibit the
tnuanoe Of the Union primary object Of patriotic de-
sire Is there doubt whether government can
embrace large sphereY Let experience solve it. To
listen to speculation in such criminal
We authorized to hope that proper organization Of
the whole with the auxiliary agency Of governments for
the respective subdivisions will afford happy issue Of the
experiment. II is well worth fair and full experiment
With such powerful and obvious motives union affect
ing all parts Of country while experience shall not
have demonstrated Its mpraccabiity there win always
be dsrust the patriotism Of those who in any
\ quarter may endeavor to weaken its banda
