at Is proper you should understand what
deem the essential principles Of our Govern
ment and consequently those which ought TO
shape it administration will compress them
within the nauowest compass they will bear
stating the general principle. but not all its limi
tatous:
Equal and exact justice to all men Of what
State or persuasion. religious political.
Peace, commerce and honest friendship with
all nations. entangling alliances with none
The support Of the State Governments in all
their rights as the most important administrations
for our domestic concerns, and the surest bull
warks against all anti-repubIican tendencies
1.-The preservation OF the General Government
in It's whole constitutional vigor, the sheet an
chor Of our peace at home and safety abroad.
"a jealous care Of the right OF election by the
people. mild and safe correction Of abuses which
are Topped of by the sword of revolution where
peaceabe remedies are unprovided.
Absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the
which there is no appeal but To form the vital
principle aud immediate parent despotism.
"a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in
peace and tor the first moments of war, till regu-
lars may relieve them.
1.-The supremacy of the civil over military au-

Economy in the public expense that labor

preservation Of the public faith.

Of all abuses at the bar of the public reason.

These principles form the bright constea-
ton which has gone before and guided our
steps through age of revolution and reforma-

heroes have been devoted to their attainment.
They should be the creed of our political faith,
the text OF civic instruction, the tOuchstone by

should wander from them in moments of er
ror or of alarm. let hasten TO retrace our steps,
and regain the road which alone leads to peace.

ADMONITION OF JACKSON.
Farewell Address March 3, ISL
'Bu: the Constitution cannot be maintained
nor the Uuion preserved, in opposition to public
feeling, by the mere exertion of the coercive
powers confded 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 i'm every quarter of the
country; and in the fraternal attachments which
the citizens of the several States bear one to an
other members of one political family, mu
tually contributing TO promote the happiness OF
each other Hence, the citizens of each State
should studiously avoid everything calculated
to wound the sensibility or 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 OF
their political brethren in other portions of the
Union.
In a country 50 extensive as the United States
and in pursuits varied. the internal regua
tons of the several States must frequently differ
from one another in important particulars: and
this difference is unavodably increased by the
varying principles upon which the American col
onies were originally planted principles which
had taken deep in their social relations before
the Revolution, and therefore, of necessity, in
fluencing their policy since they became free and
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 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
part of the people of other States to cast odum
upon their Institutions. and all measures calcu
lated to disturb their rights of property, to put
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility
are in direct opposition to the spirit in which the
Union formed, and must endanger its iety
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this
unwarrantable interference. and weak men may
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 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 oil
discord are not worthy of your confidence, and
deserve your strongest reprobation"
