Peace, commesce and honest friendship with
all nations. entanglng alliances with none.
1.-The support of the State Governments in all
their rights as the most important administrations

warks against al anti-repubcan tendencies
"The preservation of the General Government
in its whole constitutional vigor, the sheet an
Choir of our peace at home and safety abroad.
"a jealous care of the right of election by the
people, mild and safe correction of abuses which
are Topped of by the sword of revolution where
peaceable remedies unprovided.
Absolute acquescence in the decisions of the
majority, the vital principle OF republics, from

ADMONITION OF JACKSON.
Farewell Address, March 3, ISL
"But the Constitution cannot be maintained
nor the Union preserved, in opposition to public
feeling by the mere exe.t;Cn of the coercive
powers confded to the General Government.
The foundations must be laid in the affections
of the people; in the security which it gives to
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.
tually contributing to promote the happiness OF
each other. Hence, the citizens of each State
should studiously avoid everything calculated
to wound the sensbity or offend the Just
pride of the people of other States; and they
should irown upon any proceedings within their
own borders likely to disturb the tranquility OF
their political brethren in other portions of the
Union.
In a country so extensive as the United States
and in pursuits so varied. the internal regula-
tons of the several States must frequently differ
from one another in 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
fueucing 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
it 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 its citizens and
promote their happiness; and all efforts on the
part of the people of other States to cast odium
upon their Institutions, and all measures calcu-
lated to disturb their rights of property, to put
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility,
are in direct opposition to the spirit i'm 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, 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.
lFederaist, No. IL.
"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; can no longer continue the mutual
guardians OF their mutual happiness; can no
longer be fellow citizens of our great. respectable
