dom of action, show him class aspiring
to privilege, trample on the poorest of his
brethren, and you will soon find that he
has as keen realizing sense Of liberty
equality, and fraternity as the wisest o.
philosophers or the profoundest Of theor-
lists. The first love of Americans is Inc
Union, but they well know that the Union
can only be maintained by faithful sup
port of the Constitution as it stands. They
well know that, rs there can be but one
Union, so there can be but one Constitution:
and as 1t is, they are prepared and resolved
to support it. Ii is not with the Constitu-
ton of the United States as with those
of the separate members Of the confedera-
cy. The State Constitutions have no par
ticular sanctity, they have been repeatedly
changed. and will be SO again Most of the
States have had two Constitutions. New
York rejoices in its third. Not 50 with
the Constitution of the United States. We
all feel and perceive that the peculiar con
dition of the country, the great number of
States, and of the legislative bodies by
which they are represented render i .
hopeless task to think OF amending it, un-
less. perhaps, in some plain and palpable
particular, which would arouse no local
hostility and no sectional jealousy. We
all acknowledge that the Constitution musr
