Judge Douglass Acceptance.

The last Washington States contains Judge Doug
lass letter of acceptance. Among other things he
says:
"The federal Union must be preserved The
Constitution must be maintained nviolate in all its
parts. Ecery right guaranteed by the Constitution
must be protected by Lap IN all cases ,chere kegisla
ton is necessary to its enjoyment The judicial au-
thority, as provided in the Constitution, must be
sustained, and its decision implicitly obeyed and
faithfully executed The laws must be administer
ed and the constituted authorities upheld, and all
unlawful resistance suppressed"
Sounder Constitutional sentiments were never
uttered. Gen. jackson himself if still among us,
could have used no stronger or better language as
State rights, Constitutional Union man.
