In 1888, Justice Story wrote bis Com
mentaries on the Constitution. The con-
ciusion of the last chapter of his work is
SO full Of prophecy and good advice that

place in our columns:
The West feels its growing power and
weightin the Union; and the Atlantic
States begin TO learn that the sceptre
must one DAY depart from them. If, un.
DEF the circu instances, the Union should
once be broken up, it is impossible that a
new Constitution should ever be formed,
embracing the whole Territory. We shall
be divided into several nations or conted-
eracies, rivals in power and interest, 100

dale, on the 18th inst. General Cass made
a patriotic speech. Excusing himself on
account Of his age, he proceeded to re-
mark
But il time has diminished my power to
be useful to my country, it has left undi-
minished the deep interest feel in her
destiny, and my love and reverence for
our glorious Constitution, which we owe
to the kindness Of Providence, and to the
wisdom of our fathers. That Constitution
which has ruled so long and so happily, is
now assaulted by an armed rebellion, as
causeless in its origin as it is wicked in
its objects, and its integrity rests upon
the energy and patriotism Of the people,
and upon the jealous and efficient support
of the Government in its efforts to bring
this contest to a speedy and successful
issue We have the power TO do this, and,
with the determination to exert it, the
work will soon be done. Our right to es
tablish our Government was asserted and
maintained in the days of our weakness !;
we must not shrink f.om the duty Of de-
Tending it in the days Of our strength.
