ADMONITION OF JACKSON
farewell Address, March 3, Is27I
"But the Constitution cannot be maintained
nor the Union preserved. in opposition to public
feeling, by the mere exerti0n of the cOercive
powers conhded 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 fraternal attachments which
the citizens OF the several States bear one to an
other as members of one political family, mu
tually contributing to promote the happiness oil
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 frown upon any proceedings within their
own borders likely to disturb the tranquility o
their political brethren in other portions OF the
Union.
In a country extensive as the United States
and in pursuits so varied, the internal regula
tons of the several States must frequently differ
from one another in important particulars: and
this difference is unav0dably increased by the
varying principles upon which the American col
onies were originally planted; principles which
had taken deep root their social relations before
the Revolution, and therefore, of necessity, in
huencing their policy since they became free anC
independent States. But each State has the un
questionable right to regulate its own internal
concerns according to its own pleasure; and while
it does interfere with the rights of the peopl,
of other States, or the rights OF the Union every
State must be the sole iIdge of the measure.
proper to secure the safety of its citizens anC
promote their happiness; and all efforts on the
part OF the people of other States to cast odiun
upon their Institutions, and all measures calcu
lated to disturb their rights of property, or to pu
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility
are in direct opposition to the spirit in which tn,
Union was formed. and must endanger its safety
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for th.
unwarrantable interference. and weak men ma,
persuade themselves, for a moment, that thew ar,
la5oring in the cause of humanity, and assertin,
the rights of the human race, but every one
upon sober reflection, will see that nothing bu
mischief can come from these improper assault
upon the feelings and rights of others. Rest as
sured that the men found busy in this work o
discord are not worthy of your confidence, all,
deserve your strongest reprobation."

"Hearken not to the unnatural voice which

which petulantly tells you that the Government
