| The just solution Of political questions
are always attended with difficulties. Cn-
der our form Of government these perpIrx.

diminished. We have two governments,
not separate, but coordinate. The pow.
ers Of both are delega,ed BY the people.
TO The one is given the management of
the external affairs Of the Union and, ia
a degree, the intercourse of The States with
each other. 70 The State Government is
committed the regulations of its Internal
or domestic aGaiis. Each State is an in.
dependent sovereignty, except in lbpss
particulars in which she has waived her
sovereignty TO the General Government.
Their intercourse with one another is, in
many respects, that Of independent ma.
lions.
1t is, therefore, the duty Of Chrf
Magistrate, not only 10 see that llle laws
Of his own government are properly exc

arc respected and observed by its eonf.de-

regarding the rights Of other sovereignlies
is equally obligatory. go 81
The observance Of those distinctions
and their performance cannot bat secure
