own bonlers likely 10 disturb the tranquility of
their political brethren in other portions OF the
Union.
Ina country so extensive as the United States.
and in pursuits 50 varied. the internal resula-
tions of the several States must frequently differ
from one another in important particulars; and
this difference l. uBavoidably increased by the
varying principles upon which the American col
onies were originally planted; principles which
had taken deep root in their social relations before
the Revolution, and therefore, OF necessity, in
'fuencing their policy since they became free and
ndependent States But each State has the un-
questionable right to regulate it, own internal
concerns according TO its own pleasure; and while
il dies not interfere with the rights Of the people
Of other States or the rights of the Union every
State must oe the sole judge Of the measures
proper to secure the safety Of its citizens and
promote their happiness; and all efforts on the
part of the people of other States 10 cast odium
upon their Institutions, and all measures calcu-
lated to disturb their rights of property or to put
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility,
are in direct opposition to the spirit in which the
Union was formed, and must eHdanger its safety.
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this
unwarrantabe interference. and weak men may
persuade themselves. for 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"
BY JAMES MADISON.
lFederalist, No. IA
"Hearken not to the unnatural voice which
tells you that the people of America, knit to
gether as they are by Sc many cords OF affection.
can no longer live together as members of the
same family; can no longer continue the mutual
guardians of their mutual happiness; can no
longer be fellow citizens of our great, respectable
and lourshing empire. Hearken not to the voice
which petuantly tells you that the Government
recommended for your adoption is "a novelty in
the political world; that it has never vet had a
place in the theories of the widest projectors that
it rashy attempts what it is impossible to accom-
plish. No, my cOuntrym men; shut your ears against
this unhallowe, language; shut your hearts against
the poison which it conveys. The kindred blood
which flows in the veins of American citizens,
the mingled blood which they have shed in de-
fense of their sacred rights, conSecrate their
Union, and excite horror AT the idea OF their be-
coming, aliens, rivals, enemies. And if novel
ties are To be stunned. believe me the most
alarming of all novelties, the most wild OF all
projects. is that of rending in pieces in order
to preserve our liberties and promote our hap
pineSs."
