and National jurisdiction, but there can
be none us to the existence of such sep
arate jurisdictions, each covering SUBJ
jects of legislation and Jurisprudence es-
sential to the public security and vel.
fare. A consolidated government in
this vast country would destroy the es-
sential home rights and liberties Of the
people The sovereignties ofthe States,
except as they are limited by the Con-
stitution, can never be given up. With
out them our Government can not stand.
1t was made and it can be changed by
State agency.
Governor Seymour quotes the 0onsti-
tuition in support of this, aud says -
While States can thus take away or add
to their power, the General Government
can in no way touch one right Of the
States or invade their Jurisdiction. He
then devotes considerable space to the
subject Of . .. .-.. ..
ARBITRARY ARRESTS,
and says that the subject presents q body
of tyranny that can not be enlarged
also, that the suppression of journals
and imprisonment of persons has been
glaringly partisan, and that the attempt
I has been made to shield these volators
of law and to suppress injury, but this
attempt will fail. 1t is a high crime to
abduct q citizen of this State. 1t is
made my duty by the Constitution to see
the laws eniorc' d. | shall investigate
every alleged violation Of our statutes,
and see that offenders are brought to
justice. Against these wrongs and out
RACES the people of the State of New
York at its election solemnly protested.
1t is suggestive fact, atrording in
struction and hope for the future, that
the theories which have exercised an
evil influence on our national politics,
did not originate in what may be called
, the heart Of the Union, among the init
male and well.acquainted populations
of the Central and Western Estates. =
) There have been extreme Northern
views and extreme Southern views, but
' also the broader and more populous
Central and Western States. These
States enlisted warmly iu the war for
. the Union and the Constitution. When
5 the Administration abandoned this poll
: cy and took up the views of extreme
Northern States, it lost at the late elec.
d tions nearly all political support which
these States afforded in the elections of
1860 and '6l.
While the North can not hold the
, Southern States in subsection without
destroying the principles of our Gov
j.. ernment, the great Central and Western
States can control the two extremes,
FANATICS NORTH AND SOUTH.
He repeats that when the Government
: adopted the views of the extreme'North'
ern States, remarkable political re-
=, volution was the result; that no extreme
u views will ever prevail; that especially
the Central and Western States will new
er accept them; that those Of the cen
e trail slave States which regretted the
. ordinance Of Secession, which sought tc
u remain in the Union, and which WERE

e way to save us from Generalization, dis

. No section must be disorganized beyond
10 the unavoidable necessities of war
. 1t can not be so united upon an,
