You iall INC. in the next place. that there
is danger nf insubordination danger that
the State Governments will nullify the laws
Of the Federal Government This always is
the same ground which the British Govern
ment assumed towards British subjects in
the American Colonies, when 1t transported
them beyound seas, to be tried for pretended
offences. proclaim in your ears here, and
proclaim before my counttymen. that there
is no necessity and no shadow of necessity
for this great and fearful change. From
every tribunal in any State of this Union
which renders final Judgment that can at.
feet the rights of any public officer Of the
United States there is an appeal to the Su-
prone Court Of the United States, reserved
10 him By the Constitution and laws oi the
United States; and that high tribunal can,
merely hv its mandate. annual that Judgment,
and discharge the party from all lis conse-
qnenses This, and this alone, was the Sc
curitT which yonr iorcla,hers established to
prevent the evils and dangers Of insubordi-
nation by the State authorized ! proclaim
/ further, that when the Constitution Of the
/ United States was submitted to the people
IN the several States, 10 be adopted by them,
the chief objection which was urged against
il. the objection which was urged with the
most zeal, the most energy, AMI the most
effect, was that the liberties Of the citizen
would be brought into jeopardy by the eX-
tended power OF the Federal Judiciary. So
strenuously was this objection urged. that
the Constitution was not adopted until 1t was
demonstrated, by Hamilton, Jay and Madi-
son, IN the Federalist, that the State Jursd'c-
ton, which you are now about 10 strike
down, was lett to the States, and could ncv-
er be wresied from them without an act OF
Congress which there was no reason 10 pre-
sume would ever be passed
