at is proper you should understand what I
deem the essential principles Of our Govern
meut. and consequently those which ought 10
shape its administration will compress them
within the narrOwest compass they will bear
stating the general principle, but not all its limi-
tations:
Equal and exact justice 10 all men Of what
ever State or persuasion. religious or political
Peace. commerce and honest friendship with
all nations, entanglng alliances with none.
The support Of the State Governments in all
their rights rs the most important administrations
for our domestic concerns, and the surest bull
warks against all anti-repubcah tendencies.
"The preservation OF the General Government
in IT, whoIe constitutional ,igor, as the sheet an.
Choir Of our peace at home and safety abroad
"A jealous OF the right OF election by the
people, mild and safe correction OF abuses which
are Topped off by the sword Of revolution where
peaceable remedies are unprovided
Absolute acquiescence IN the decisions Of the
majority. the vI:al principle OF republics. from
which there is no appeal but to form the vital
principle and immediate parent despotism.
"A we'll disciplined militia, our best reliance in
peace, and Tor the first moments of war, till regu-
lars may relieve them.
The supremacy of the civil over military au-

THE diffusion Of information, and arraignment
Of all abuses at the bar of the public reason.
Freedom OF religion, freedom of the press and
freedom of person. under the protection of the

These principles form the bright constella-
ton which has gone before us and guided our
steps through an age of revolution and reform,-
ton. The wisdom OF our sages aud blood OF our
heroes have been devoted TO their attainment.
They should be the creed of our political faith,
the text of civic instruction, the touchstOne by
which to try the services of those We trust: and
should we wander from them in moments of er
ror of alarm. let hasten to retrace our steps
aud to regain the road which alone leads to peace
liberty and safety"

farewell Address, septemberI7, 1885,
"In contemplating the causes which may dis
turb our Union; il occurs as matter of serious
concern, that any ground should have been fur
nished for characterizing parties by geographical
criminations-Northern and Southern, Allan
tic and W estsrn--whence designing men may en-
deavor To excite belief that there is real diff
ference of local interests and views. Que of the
expedients of party to acquire influence within
particular districts is to msrepFesent the opinions
and aims of other districts. You cannot shield
yourselves too much against the jealouses and
heart-burnngs which spring from these misrepre
sensations; they tend TO render alien To each 9th
er those who ought to be bound together by fra
ternal affection.
ADMONITION OF JACKSON.
farewell Address, March 3, 1871
"But the Constitution cannot be maintained
nor the union preserved, in opposition to public
feeling, by the mere exert;on of the coerciyt
powers confided to the General Government
The foundations must be laid in the affections
OF the people; in the security which it gives tC
life, liberty and property in every quarter of tho
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 o
each other. Hence, the citizens of each State
should studiouSly avoid everything calculated
10 wound the sensblty or offend the JUS
pride of the people of other States; and they
should irown upon any proceedings within the
own borders likely to disturb the tranquility o
their political brethren III other portions OF th,
Union.
In a country so extensive rs the United States
and in pursuits varied, the internal regula
tons of the several States must frequently diife
from one another in important particulars: anC
this difference is unavoldably increased by th,
varying principles upon which the American col
onies were originally planted; principles which
had taken deep root in their social relations bsfor,
the Revolution, and therefore, OF necessity, in
hueucing 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 lis own pleasure; and while
il does not interfere with the rights Of the people
of other States The rights of the Union. ev cry
State must be the sole Judge of the measure,
proper TO secure the safety of its citizens anc
promote their happiness; and all efforts on the
part of the people of other States to cast odiun
upon their institutions, and all measures calcu
lated TO disturb their rights of property, or to put
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility
in direct opposition to the spirit in which tn,
Union was formed, and must endanger its safety
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for thi:
understandable interference, and weak men ma,
persuade themselves. for a moment. that they ar,
laboriug in the cause OF humanity, and asserting
the rights OF the human race. but every one
mischief can come from these improper ASSAULT
upon the feelings and rights of others. Rest rs
sured that the men found busy in this work o
diScord are not worthy of your confidence, anC
deserve your strongest Reputation"

lFederalist, No. II. a.
"Hearken not to the unnatural voice which
tells YOU that the people OF America, knit to
gether as they are by so many cords OF affection
can no longer live together as members of IN,
same family; can no longer continue the mutua
guardians of their mutual happiness; can n,
longer be fellow citizens of our great reSpectabl,

which petulantly tells you that the Government
