INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THE GOVERNOR
OF MICHIGAN

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 4, 1861.
Governor Blair delivered his Inaugural Address TO both
houses OF the Legislature at Lansing yesterday
In discussing national affairs he denies the right Of
secession; and in abiding 10 the present condition o.
South Carolina says- il could properly be done pro-
sumo the country generally would be willing to let thai
restless nation retire from the conedcracy ever
but that cannet be without admitting the right Of
sion to exist in all the States and government then
mains to US, but only voluntary association Of States
dissolsablc at the pleasure Of any Of them.
II South Carolina may Of right, then may also New
York and Louisiana thus cutting OF the free right Of way
Of entire Northwest to the in both directions
The doctrine cannot be admitted Self representation, IL
no other reason would compel US TO resist He claims
that the constitution OF the United States is not
Pact or eague between independent souverain States
90 tie contrary, that II is q foundation Of q go
sernncnt established by tho people OF the United
WHOLE perpetual in its character AMI possess
ng all the elements Of sovereign power and nationality
He denies that the Personal Liberty laws have had the
effect 70 prevent the of the Fugitive Slave law
in a single instance, but whenever appeal has been
made to the courts enforce that law has been done
in good faith.
He invites judicial scrutiny into the legislation of the
state ana willing to abide by the result but not
willing that the State should be Inundated by compliance
with the demand repeal these laws accompanied by
threats Of violence and lie concludes by recon-
mending that at carly day the legislature make it
manifest representatives in Congress and TO the
country Michigan loyal TO the Uhion the cons,itu
