One of the eXpedients of party to &C

and aims of other districts. You can
not shield yourselves too much against
the i~ealousies and heart burnings which
spring from these misrepresentation
They tend to render alien to each
other those who ought to be bound to-

habitantS of our Western country have
lately had a useful lesson on this head.
They have seen, in the negotiation by
the executive, and in the unanimous
ratification by the Senate, of the

connect them with aliens?
"To the efficacy and permanency of
your union a government for the whole
is indispensable. No alliances, how
ever strict, between the parts, can be

interruptions which all alliances in all
times have experienced. Sensible of
the momentous truth, you have m
proved upon your first essay, by the
adoption of a constitution of govern

offspring of your own choice, unin-
