jackson on the subject matter Of said Dorsey's Ad-
dress, to wit:
"The Union cannot be preserved and the Constitu-
tion maintained 6y the coerciUe potoer confded
to the General Government" and "if ever such a
struggle is begun and the citizens of section Of
the country arrayed in against those of an
other in doubtful conflict, let the battle result it
may there aoiU be an end ofHe Union, and with it an
end to the hopes Of freemen. Tho victory of the
yictOrs would not secure to them the blessings Of
liberty. 1t would avenge their wrongs, but they
would themselves share in the common ruin. Each
State has the unauestiOnable right to regulate its
own internal concerns according to its pleasure;
and while it does not interfere with the rights Of the
Union, every State must be the sole judge Of the
measures proper to the safety of its cit
and promote their happiness. All efforts on the
part of the people Of other States to cast odum upon
their institutions, and all measures calculated to dis
turb their rights of property or 70 put in jeopardy
opposition to the spirit in which the Union was
framed and must endanger its safety"
