Union.
In country SC extensive as the United States.
and ia pursuits 20 varied. the internal regula-
tions of tie several States must frequently differ
from one another Ia important particulars: and
this difference is unavoidably 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
HGencing 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
il 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 it, citizens and
promote their happiness; and all efforts on the
part Of the people Of other States tn cast odium
upon their Institutions. aud all measures calcu-
lated 10 disturb their ghts 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 mus, endanger it, safety.
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this
unwarantable interference. and weak men may
persuade themselves, for moment, that they are
iaooring 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 come from these improper assaults
upon the feelings and rights OF others. Rest rs
sured that the men found busy in this work OF
discord are worthy of Your confidence, and
deserve your strongest repfobation.

"Hearken not TO the unnatural voice which
tells YOU that the people of America, knit To
eether as they are BY so many cords OF affection,
can no longer live together as members OF the
same family; no longer continue the mutual
guardians OF their mutual happiness: can no
longer be fellow citzens of our great, respectable
and hourishng empire. Hearken not To the voice
which petulantly tells you that the Government
recommended for your adoption is novelty in
the political world; that il has never vet had
place ia the theories OF the widest projectors: that
IL rashly attempts what it is impossible To accom-.
plish No. my country men; shut your ears against
this unhallowed language; shut your hearts against
the poison which il conveys. The kindred blood
which flows in the veins of American citizens,
the mingled blood which they have shed in de.
lense of their sacred rights, consecrate their
Union, and excite horror at the idea of their be-
coming. aliens, rivals, enemies. And il novel.
ties nre to be Stunned. believe me the most
alarming Of all novelties, the most Wild of all
projects, is that of rendug MS in pieces IN order
to preserve our libeSties and promote our hap
piness.
