ssIn response to the allusion just made, L have
no remark to make other than to repeat the
sentiments to which allusion has been given
this night one year ago. That is, no State OF
its own will has right under the constitution
to renounce it's place in or Withdraw from the
Union; nor has the Congress OF the onlted
States, under the constitution, the power to ex-
clude or degrade the people Of any State by re-
ducine them to mere territorial dependencies
mon the Federal head. The oneis disruption
and dissolution Of the government; the othor
is consolidation and the exercise OF despollc
power. The advocates Of either are alike the
enemies of the Federal Union and OF our re-
publican form Of government" [Great ap-
