Farewell Address, March 3, 1927
"But the Constitution cannot be maintained
nor the Union preserved in opposition to public
feeling, by the mere exertion of the coercye
powers contded To the General Government.
The foundations must be laid in the affections
OF the people: in the security which it gives to
life, liberty and property in every quarter OF the
country; and in the fraiernal attachments which
the citizens of the several States bear one to an.
other AS members OF one political family, mu
tualy contributing to promote the happiness of
each other Hence, the citizens of each State
should studiously avoid everything calculated
to wound the sensibility offend the just
pride OF the people of other States; and they
should lrown upon any proceedings within their
own borders likely to disturb the tranquility of
their political brethren in other portions of the
Union.
In country so extensive as the United States,
and in pursuits so varied, the internal regula-
tons of the several States must frequently differ
from another in important particulars; and
this difference is unavoldably increased by the
varying principles upon which the American col
ones were originally planted principles which
had taken deep root in their social relations before
the Revolution, and therefore, of necessity in
huencIng their policy since they became free and
independent States. But each State has the
questionable right to regulate its own internal
il does not interfere with the rights of the people
of other States or The rights of the Union. every
State must be the sole judge of the measures
proper to secure the safety of its citizens and
promote their happiness: and all Efforts the
ptrt OF the people of othe. States to cast odium
upon their Institutions. and all measures calcu-
lated to disturb their rights of property or to put
in jeopardy their pence and internal tranquility
are in direct opposition the spirit in which the
Union was formed, and must endanger its safety
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this
uuwarrantabe interference. and weak men
persuade themselves. for a moment, that they are
labOring in the cause OF humanity, and asserting
the rights of the human race but every one
upon sober reflection, will see that nothing but
mischief can come from these improper assaults
upon the feelings and rights of others. Rest as
sured that the men found busy in this work of
discord are not worthy of your confidence, and
deserve your strongest reprobation.'
