own borders likely to disturb the tranquility Of
their political brethren in other portions Of the
Union.
In country 50 extensive as the United States.
and IN pursuits SO Varied. the Internal regula-
tons OF the seversl States must frequently differ
from one another in important particulars: and
this difference Is unavoidably increased by the
varying principles npon which the American col
onies were originally planted; principles which
had t,ken deep root in their social relations before
the Revolution, and therefore, Of necessity, in
flnetcng 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 It's own pleasure; and while
il does not interfere with the rights of the people
of other States, or he rights Of the Union. every
State must lie the sole Judge of the measures
proper to secure the safety of its citizens and
promote their happiness; and all efforts on the
p,rt OF the people Of other States 10 east 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 endanger its safety.
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this
unwarrantable interference. and weak men may
persuade themselves, Tor moment, that they are
laboring in the cause OF humanity, and asserting
the rights of the human race, but every one,
mischief can come from these improper assaults
upon the feelings and rights of Others Rest as
sured that tie men found busy in this work of
discord are not worthy of your confidence, and
deserve your strongest reprobation.

longer be fellow citizens OF our great respectable
and hourishng empire Hearken not to the voice
which petulantly tells you that the Government

the mingled blood which they have shed in de-
tense OF their sacred rights. consecrate Their
Union, and excite horror at the idea OF their be-

ties are to be shunned. believe me the most
alarming of all novelties, the most wild OF all
