farewell Address, March 3, 1927
"But the Constitution cannot be maintained
nor the Union preserved, in opposition to public
feeling, by the mere exert;on of the coercivt
powers confded TO the General Government
The foundations must be laid in the affection:
of the people; in the security which il gives t.
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
each other Hence, the citizens of each State
should studiously avoid everything calculated
To wound the sensbity or offend the jus
pride OF the people of other States; and they
should frown upon any proceedings within the
own borders likely TO disturb the tranquility o
their political brethren in other portions of tn,
Union.
In a country extensive as the United States
and in pursuits so varied, the internal regula

this difference is unavoidably increased by tn,
varying principles upon which the American col

had taken deep in their social relations befor,
the Revolution, and therefore, of necessity, in
huencng their policy since they became free anC
independent States. But each State has the un
questionable right TO regulate its own nterna
concerns according to its own pleasure; and Will,

of other States or he rights OF the Union every
State must be the sole judge of the measures
proper to secure the safety of its citizens anC
promote their happiness; and all efforts on tn,
part of the people of other States to cast odiuu
upon their institutions, and all measures calcu
lated To disturb their rights of property, to pu
i'm 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 they ar,
laboring 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 assaults
upon the feelings and rights of Others Rest as
sured that the men found busy i'm this work o
discord are not worthy of your confidence ant
deserve your strongest reprobation."
BY JAMES MADISON.
Federalist, No. Ia.
"Hearken not to tile unnatural voice which
tells YOU that the people of America. knit to

can longer live together members OF tn
same family; can no longer continue the mutua
guardians of their mutual happiness; can M
longer be fellow citizens OF our great, reSpectabl,

which petulantly tells you that the Government
recommended for your adoption is novelty il
the political world; that it has never vet had
place in the theories OF the widest projectors tina
it rashly attempts what il is impossible to accom-
plish. No, my country men; shut your ears agains
this unhalowed language shut your hearts agans
the poison which it conveys. The kindred bloc,
which flows in the veins of American citizens

tense OF their sacred rights, consecrate thei
Union and excite horror nj the idea of their be
