Iaf 4HuafXs JEFFERSON on SEGESSioN.-i hhl
lie Doctrine of secession and State Rights
in not new tangled dogma of any per sc
.,uthcrn party, is proved by the distinctly
r.,unciatcd doctrines of the Kentucky Res
buttons drawn up by Mr.. Jefferson in l'oS,
~ direct antogonism to the pcrnicious
fleorics of Alexander Hamilton and the
gcdcralists in general. This was before
Il days of Mr.. Calhoun and long before
ne days of Notification in South Carolina,
h 1t more fresh in the minds of those who
~ cached Notification in New England the
snme New England that seems to have for
.,tten the Constitutional Rights of free and
Independent States.
For the purpose of refreshing the minds
O. those,who still retain some of the old
'aaven of Federalism we clip the first of the
oyRevolution passed by the Legislature of
?, cntucky in 1893; it is as follows and is
worth reading several times:
Resolred, That the several States
imposing the United States of
America, are not united on the prin
tiplc of unlimited submission to
,leir general government, but that,
w compact, under the style,and IT,
5,e of a Constitution for the United
tates, and Of amendments thereto,
hey constituted general govern
nent for special purposes, delegated
D that government certain definite
.powers, reserving each Stateto Itself,
.he residuary mass ofrights to their
own self-government-and that
vhensoever the general government
assumes undelegated powers, its acts
re unauthoritative, void, and OF no
iarce-that to this compact each
State acceded as a State, and is an
integral party, and this government
.reated by this compact, was not
made the exclusive or final Judge of
the extent Of the powers delegated
10 itself, since that would have
made it's discretion, and not the
Constitution, the measure ofits pow
ers but that, as mall other cases of
compact among parties hauiag no
Common Judge, each party has an
squal right to Judge Of itself, as
reu Of iyractiOns as Of the mode
md measure of redress
SsT The Government property at San
Antonio and other posts in this State was
