member that each state has reserved thu
right to regulate its own local concerns, &C;
cording to its own pleasure. and while il

on the part of the people of other states to
interfere in its local affairs, or to cast odium
ON its institutions, or to put in jeopardy its
peace and tranquility, are in direct OPPOSE
ton to the spirit of compromise and conces-
sion in which the union was formed, and
must endanger its safety" The father oi
our country, in his farer address, cati-
toned US in the strongest terms against "thc
formation Of parties upon geographical dis
ordinations, Is one of the means to which
designing men would be likely to resort in
order to effect a dissolution Of the Union "

son tells ms "that we NAV rest assured that
the men found busy in this work of dlscord
are not worthy of our confidence, and that
they deserve our strongest reprobation and
condemnation. Such were the views Of the
wisest and greatest men that our country
has ever produced, and whose memories
should ever stand iirstin the hearts of the
American people 1t is high time ;hat we
should heed their warning voice, and il in
moments oftemporary excitement any of us
have strayed from the land marks of the
constitution, "let US exercise our sober sec
ond thoughts" and in the language of the
sage of Mont cello, "hasten to retrace our
steps and regain the road which leads to
peace, union, and safety"
The sages and heroes, who toiled and blcd
in the glorious scenes of the revolution, and
to whom, under Heaven, we are indebted for
all the civil and religious liberty which we
enjoy, are gone, or fast going TO sleep with
their fathers, and new millions have come on
the stage to enjoy the liberty which their
valor and liberty acquired.
