ADDRESS,
Delivered before the Union and State
Rights Association of Chatham coun
ty, on the 4th of July, 1834, by M.
Hall M’Allister.
(Concluded:)
It the principle that a state has parted
with no portion of its sovereignty be un
sound, what becomes of the doctrine
founded thereon, that, each State, by vir
tue of its undiminished sovereignty, has
aright to judge for itself of all infractions
of the Constitution by Congress, and to
decide upon the mode and measure of
redress?
If it be urged, that the General Govern
ment is the mere servant or agent of the
States, say to the asserters of such a doc
trine, that you will not prostrate the digni
ty-of that Government at the footstool of
each, and every State in this wide-spread j
confederacy; say to them, that holy writ
declares, that no one can serve two mas
ters,and thatyou dare not c harge upon those
sages who framed your Constitution, the
monsUious absurdity of imposing upon
the General Government the obligation of
- four and twenty, with the correla
tive duty of obeying their instructions, •
however various and conflicting.
Should you be told that the State Go
vernment is the only guarantee you have I
for your liberties—respond in the beauti
lul language of another, “That the State
Governments are beautiful structures, '
(well worthy of preservation indeed,) but
situated on a nuked beach. That the U
iuoii is the dyke to fence out the flood—
that broken, when the next spring tide,
comes, they will be buried in one common
destruction.”
Should you be called on by the advo
cates of exclusive State sovereignty, to
contradict the evidence of your own sen
ses, and be required to believe that you
are an enslaved, or oppressed people,
point them to the past and present prosper
ity of your State, and ask of them a parallel
in all history tor the rapidity with which
the fifteen individuals who disembarked
on yonder strand, have expanded into a
population of half a million of freemen?
Demand from them a sight of your tetters,
—and if they point to any inequalities in
the legislation of Congress as such, tell
them to look abroad upon the surface of
their extended country, to contemplate the
diversity of her soil, her climate, her pro
ductions, the extent of her territory, and
tell them, that it is as much to be expected
that the waters of the Atlantic will bear
equally at the same time upon every part J
of the coast, as that the legislation of Con- :
gress will operate withperyec? equality at
one and the same time upon every por
tion of this wide spread confederacy. Tell
them, that these inequalities have been
endured by other portions of our country,
and that a redress for them is to be found
in that spirit of forbearance.and conces
sion of which our Constitution was the
offspring, and by a timely application of
those remedies so amply provided by that
instrument.
Should they attempt to undermine your
confidence in the correctness of your o
pinions by bold assertions as to the influ
eace and talent they have, or expect ere
long to have enlisted in behalf of their
doctrines, point them to the great number
of those, who having battled under Jefler
s>n in defence of the genuine principles
of democracy, now fight side by side with
you for the maintenance of those princi
ples-. Refer them to that portion of our
country’s history, when most of the talent,
learning, and influence ofa certain sec
tion of this confederacy, were devoted to
the sustenance of doctrines simila r to their
own; —let them mark the fate which over
whelmed those doctrines with their ad
vocates, and in that fate let them see the
reflection of their own!
Unable by argument to convince your
understandings, they may endeavor to
alarm your interests, and to excite your
passions—they may tell you that you are
in the possession of property which in its
nature is offensive to the feelings, and at
variance with the interests of a portion
of this confederacy, and that the existence
ot State sovereignty, as contended for by
them, is essential to the preservation of
your rights’ Believing that many honest
and patriotic men have been deluded into
their doctrine by lending an easy credence
to these wily suggestions, bear with me,
fellow-citizens, wuile 1 attempt to, prove
their futility.
In the first place, for the purpose of
sustaining their doctrine, w impossible
<•«'•(• is supposed. In the Constitution,
which is the compact and bond of our U
nipn, this species of property is not recog
nized, but a. representation, of it. allowed
in Congress. Now W ere that Congress
to destroy any portion of their constituen
* whether of persons or property, they
would in effect dissolve themselves. By
destruction of one of the three equal and
co-ordinate departments created by the
Constitution, our Government would be
resolved into its original elements, and we
rcniitfed back to the precise situation in
which wc were prior to the adoption of
our Constitution.
But were this a supposable case, will
you not require some proof of the fact
asserted ? Are you to be told that the
sentiments of the people at the North are
to be gathered from the ravings of a few
mad fanatics? This species of reasoning
is somewhat analogous to that which has
proved, to the perfect satisfaction of some
English travellers, that we are, as a peo
ple, habitually addicted to theft, falsehood,
and drunkenness. The loss of his trunk
—having been the victim of some knave
—or having witnessed some instances
of inebriation, has satisfied the mind of
the philosophic traveller that he thorough
ly understands the habits and sentiments
of the great body of the American people.
The evidence with which the English
man is satisfied, is certainly quite as full
as that, on which you are required to
form an opinion in favor of the assertions
made by your political adversaries.
But, fellow-citizens, without placing re
liance upon the good feeling and sense of
justice of our northern brethren, let us
inquire what their interests will incline
them to do.
It may be asserted without fear of con
tradiction, that the non-slave holding
States of the North are as much, if not
more, benefitted by the existence of sla
very, than are those States in which it sub
sists, because they reap the pecuniary
fruits of the system, and are at the same
time free from the evils which are its in
separable attendants. The great interests
of the people of the North, are their ship
i ping—their manufactories —-and a mar
■ ket fortheir produce. In the transporta
tion of the bulky staples of the South, em
ployment is afforded to their shipping—‘
the production of the raw material gives ,
life to their manufactories, and the-South
ern market is an outlet for their produc
tions.
'l'he growth of these staples on a large
scale has never been attempted on this
continent, nor ever will be effected with
out the combined labor o 'slaves. This
the people of the North well know, nor
are there any who understand more clear
ly or pursue more vigorously their own
interns; and believe me, whatever may
be tfflTfanaticism of a few, the great body
of that people, through their representa
tives in Congress, will never direct a blow
at an interest so intimately connected with
their own. .
No, my countrymen, it is from a differ
ent quarter we must expect interference
with our rights. Look not at the distant
horizon for the coming tempest, when
the thunder-clouds may be ready to burst
directly over your heads! Did Congress
legislate upon the interest to which allu
sion is now made, in the States of New
j York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
Dele ware? Did not the blow come from
the respective Legislatures of those States?
Refer to the struggles between the moun
; tain and Atlantic districts of Virginia in
relation to this species of property, which
for some years past have agitated that
State, and which were more fully develop
,ed in their recent Convention. Look to
the surface of your own State, and you
will perceive, that the representatives in
j our domestic Legislature from that por
. lion of the State where our peculiar pro
perty is essential to its prosperity, will in
: a levy years bear no proportion to the num
’ ber of those who will represent a wheat
1 growing community, where a particular
species of labor may, and probably will,
|be entirely dispensed with. What, then,
i will become of our rights, left to the ‘ su
preme sovereignty” ofa majority of the
people of the State? Be not deluded, my
countrymen. The best protection we
who live along the coast can have for our
rights, is to be found in an equal support
of the General and State Governments, in
order that each may serve as a check up
on the other.
One other consideration may be urged
upon you by your political opponents, and
which demands a passing notice. Should
they fail on any other ground, necessity
(the tyrant’s plea) maybe asserted, to sus
tain their doctrines, that in disputes be
tween the State and General Governments,
there being no common arbiter appointed
by the. States, ex necessitate rei, each
State must judge for itself. Can it be,
fellow-citizens, that the sage Fathers of
our Country 1 when assembled for the
purpose of adopting a Constitution, the
professed objects of which, were to form a
more perfect Union, to ensure domestic
tranquility, and perpetuate the blessings
of liberty to their posterity, a compact
with thirteen parties to it, and with a
provision therein contained for the indefi
nite enlargement of that number, until,
perhaps the hum of civilized life should
mingle itself with the roar of the distant
Pacific, and at the same time give to each
party a right to place its own and separate
construction on that compact? This
would be to ensure domestic tranquility
with a vengeance ! If this be in truth
our legacy, what gratitude is due to the
memory of Sires who have bequeathed to
their sons an inheritance so replete with
fruitful sources of dtscord? They proposed
to leave us a wel organized government,
imperfect, perhaps, as are all the institu
tions of man: but professing to contain with
in itselfthe power of perpetuation, by the
adoption of amendments suitable to the
various exigencies that might arise. In
lieu of this, they have bequeathed us—
what? A form of Government? No; for
Government supposes that there are those
who are to be governed. A compact e
quitable in its provisions! No; for one
of the parties has the right of exclusive
construction. A contract of Union? No;
for contract pre-supposes obligation on
the parties to it. If the doctrine of your
adversaries be correct, what then is this
thing which has been transmitted us un
der the name of the General Government?
A rope of sand, a nonentity, a thing which
was still-born' as its birth, which never had
an existence as to all practical purposes,
With .such construction fixed upon the
Constitution, our General Government is
at best, a beautiful piece of machinery; but
which, when put in motion, stops with the
first obstacle it encounters. Let such con
struction prevail, and our Constitution
finds its euthanasia in the rights of the
States.
In addition to the foregoing sugges
tions, we have the authority of that great
champion of State Rights and Apostle of
Liberty, Thomas Jefferson, with which to
vindicate the memory of our Fathers. In
the year 1822, in language not to be mis
understood, he declares that there is a
common arbiter to which disputes between
the State and General Governments must
be referred for final arbitrament. After
distincly declaring that the State and £ ed
eral Governments “are co-ordinate de
partments of one simple and integral
whole, ” he continues—“but you may ask,
if the two departments should claim each
the same subject of power, where is the
common umpire to decide ultimately be
tween them I In cases of little impor
tance or urgency, the prudence of both
parties will keep them aloof from the
questionable ground: but it it can be nei
ther avoided nor compromised, a Conven
tion of the States must be called, to as
cribe the doubtful power to that department,
which they think best." j
And again, in commmenting upon the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case ;
of Cohens vs. the State of Virginia, he
declares that “Me Ultimate Arbiter is the
people of the Union, assembled by their
deputies in Convention, at the call of Con- •
gress, or of two thirds of the States. Let _
them decide to which they mean to give an J
authority claimed by two of their organs. |
Awd it has been the peculiar wisdom and
felicity of our Constitution, to have provi- : .\
ded this peaceable appeal where, that oj \
other nations is at once to force. ' >
If, in despite of th6 foregoing considera
tions, your political adversaries remain
wedded to their opinions—and if by su
perior address and ingenuity,by bold avow
al, or confident assertion, you are driven
from the field of argument, yonder is your
rallying point—cast your eyes on that
standard, associated as it is with the recol
lection of the past—with the memo
ry of those who have fallen in its defence
■ —with all that is glorious in the history
of our country —and swear, ere it shall
droop submission to the banner of any
State, you will shed yopr last life-drop in
its defence,
“Bright flag of my country! long, long may it
wave,
“Through perils and darkness, the hope of the
brave.”
“The oppressed of the earth by thousands have
come,
“To breathe the pure air of Freedom’s last
home; ‘
“In our dark hours of peril a strength.they will
be,
“And glory to fight ‘neathyou flag ofthe free.”
“May the stars of that flag still brightly burn on,
“In glorious remembrance of those who have
gone.!’ • • sr
Alas? my countrymen! how few of
those spirits who rode upon thvrevbkition
ary tempest and directed the storm remain
among us? The badge of mourhifig
that shrouds yon standard sheet proclaims
that another link in the already much bro
ken chain which bound us to the period of
our country’s birth, is gone! -
“Fame with swollen eye” has. announ
ced that La Fayette, the Great and Gqod,
is numbered with the honored dead.
The blessings of a grateful people descend
with him into the grave. Let the Geftius
of our Country drop upon his tomb the
tributary tear,and Liberty deplore the loss
of her devoted son.
“There Honor comes, a pilgrim grey,
To deck the mould that wraps his clay,
And Freedom shall a while repair,
And dwell a weeping hermit there.”
As the Patriots of the olden time, one
by one, are removed from among us, it
becomes more imperatively our sacred du
ty to cherished an immoveable attach
ment to those institutions which are the
result of their efforts.
Vain have been their labors—their dy
ing counsels—their patriotic hopes—if
we make not our own hearts the deposi
tories of the sentiments which inspired
them. Ere long, the annals of our Coun
try, and the spirit which animated our
Sires, will be all that are left to instruct us.
Ponder well those annals commune
with that spirit—swear by the God of your
Fathers to "transmit entire the glorious
inheritance to which yourselves were
born,” and our country will be free and
happy while empires may perish by in
ternal commotion,or bu crushed by foreign
conquest.
THE USE OF THE TOMATO.
/n quiekning the action of the abdominal
viscera. ,
Like most persons of studious or se
dentary habits, I often am more or less in
moded, and my health impaired, by inac
tion of the stomach and bowels, so as to
be under the necessity of resorting to med
icine,principally catharticts,in order to en
able our readers perfectly to appreciate
what I am about to say of a remedy, this
state of bowels is always in some degree
accompanied with a sense of straitness of
the chest, and besides a general uneasi
ness, and lassitude with the head ache, or
some degree of pain in the region of the
liver. It seems to me a recurrence of
those symptoms that accompany attacks
of what is called by my physicians, a liv
er complaint, to which I have been a good
deal subject. The appetite instead of be
ing keen becomes imperfect, with a pecu
liar taste of the mouth, as if something
was wanting in the functions of digestion,
to constitute health, for which cathartics
arc only a temporary relief,not a remedy.
The common Tomato, used in making
gravy, at once removes this taste of the
mouth, in a little time quickens the ac
tion ofthe liver, and removes all the above
noticed symptoms and feelings; I regard
it as an invaluable article of diet, or, if
you please, as of medicine, or of medical
diatetics. With me it has always been
an object of solicitude to find out such di
et, as should supercede the necessity of
medicine, Except in pickle, which I can-
not use, I eat the Tomato, in every imag
inable mode ofdressing, and find it ’per
fectly adapted to my wants In the hope
I of being of some use to others, these facts
are stated. The Tomato is of great use
to me. It is raised with less trouble than
any other vegetable that I have any
knowledge of. It was planted six years
ago, drops its own seed into the ground,
and has produced bushels every year since,
with no other trouble than once digging
the same ground, in Spring and one or
two hoeings, on a spot of perhaps six feet
square. It makes a good pickle and is
raised with one hundredth part of the la
bor and trouble of an equal quantity of cu
cumbers. But one other object remains
to be stated.
I incline to the opinion, though with
out having yet fully tried it, that the
Tomato may be made into a rich sauce,
for meat, and be kept through the year, or
from season to Season of tne fruit. The
gravy, I know, even in the hottest weath
er in summer will keep perfectly unchang
ed for several days in a common open
dish in a pantry; and this I know, as my
; cook does not like the article, I have con-
■ trived to keep it over when she neglects
my directions.
i If properl vyprepared, bottled and corked
it would certainly keep good in an ice
house or perhaps in a common Cellar, or
under water, or at low and uniform tem-
■ perature. —At any rate, if found to be as
j useful to others as it is to me, it will be
i quite desirable to find out how it rnay best
ibe preserved for use. As a pickle kept
in brine or vinegar, I could not use it,
' I am’inclined to think that its good qual-
I ities would be much diminished, for any
i one,by this mode ot preservation: It seems
tome, that of all the articles of diet or
medicine that have come to my knowledge
the Tomato acts most directly upon the
liver,and thus on bile, Publish this it you
please, and let others try it and make their
own obserquations. I know that several
persons of my acquaintance have derived
like benefits from the use of it.—TV. K

FROM THE NEW YORK EVENING STAR.
!*You don’t tell us nothing about the
‘Cholera,” says a good-natured old lady,
taking off her specs, and laying down
the Star.. “Certainly not, Madam, for
Iwo very good reasons; first I don’t like
to talk on unpleasant subjects this hot
weather; secondly, I do not believe that
there is any Cholera in this city, to an
extent to alarm any person.” “Why, la
me! I know of a heap of cases of Cholera,
or eery/Uc Cholera.” “No doubt, Ma
dam, that is the very error into which we
are.. constantly falling. You are well
now?” . ‘iY.es, I think so. Now and
then I have a twitch and a small cramp,
but a little lavender and sugar drives it
off.” “lean manufacture you into a posi
tive’ case of Asiatic Cholera in two hours.”
f* You dont say so—how?” “ Why, sim
ply eat two cucumbers, dressed or raw, as
you prefer—then take a quart, of black
berries, four green corn, four young pota
toes, mashed, a lobster or a crab, some ice
water, and wash the whole down with a
quart of buttermilk, and you will shortly
have a touch of the real thing.”
Although there may have been a few
cases of Cholera, arising probably from
imprudence, or from causes unknown, yet
all the physicians unite in declaring that
there is no epidemic prevailing, and, while
we are free from epidemic, we are only to
be prudent—keep cool, and make our.
selves comfortable —there is no real dan
ger: and our board of Health is wide a
wake; let us look to that quarter for truth-
CoMMUNICATION BETWEEN SAVAN
NAH and Macon. —The communication
between these two cities, of such vital im
portance to them and the whole interior
of this State is, we trust, now in a fairway
of being placed on a proper footing, and
in the course of a few years, we hope it
will be direct by Rail Road and Canal,
instead of by the long and tedious river
navigation by which it now is. The. Ci
ty Council of Savannah have set to work
in earnest and with spirit, which ar
gues well for the eventual success of the
enterprize, having engaged the services
of Col. Cruger, an Engineer of the high
est reputation, to survey the route between
this and Macon.
Col. Cruger and his associates set out
yesterday to commence operations, and
we hail it as the first link in the chain
of internal Improvements which will bind
the various parts of our State to its own
commercial emporium. Once begun, we
feel sanguine, that the advantages to be de
rived, will be so palpable, that our State
will soon be covered with works of In
ternal improvement. The geographical
position of Georgia for such works, is
superior to that of any other Southern
State, and Gen Bernard pronounced Sa
vannah to be the New York ofthe South.
A glance at the map will show that in
case of an Atlantic communication with
the Western States, as is now contempla
ted, it must pass through Georgia, and
the nearest seaport is our own Savannah.
Activity and enterprize cn our part wonld
ensure the termination here. Macon and
Savannah once connected, the rest would
follow from the force of circumstances.—

, MR. m’dUFFle’s OPINION OF REN. JACKSON
The following is an extract from one
of Mr. M’Duflie’s dinner speeches io the
campaign of 1828:
“If I were called upon,” says Mr. Me
Duffie, ‘to define what constitutes a tal
ent for governing human affairs with wis
dom, I would say, that when our coun'ry
is surrounded with difficulty, a crisis pre
sented in our affairs, from which it is im
portant that she should be speedily extri
cated, that man is best quallified to rule
her destinies, who has the judgement to
decide with promptitude, what is the re
medy that will save the Republic, and
the energy to apply that remedy success
fully, whatever obstacles may be inter
posed by foreign force or domestic trea
son. Such is the man I should designate
as qualified to fill the Executive office of
the Republic—and such a man precisely,
is ANDREW JACKSON.”
New Orleans, July 21.
A duel was fought on Saturday on the
opposite side of the river,at which,it is said,
several hundred spectators were present.
We understand the proprietors of the
steam ferry boat offer a premium of one
hundred dollars to every Jndividual who
will kick up a row, and decide it by burn
ing powder on the same spot as
that of yesterday. A few such duels, he
thinks, will make bis fortune.
The place is very convenient both for
combatants and spectators, as carriage
hire is saved, and we arc informed that
there is a spacious open building, where
the spectators may sit secured from the
effects of the sun, and where all kinds of
refreshments will hereafter be served.
To make the thing take, one or ,two
days’ notice of each affair should be bruit
ed abroad, and at the coffee houses.

I golly I’ll sarve you as 1 did a man t’other

gal in his lumber box, was about coming
in contact with a dandy and his fine gig.
The affrighted beau, sadly terrified at the
mysterious threat, turned out, and as bro-
I ther Jonathan was passing, asked him how
it was he served the other man. “ Why,
I turn'd out myself.
At a Convention of the Whigs of the
State of Main e, held at Augusta, on the
21st July, Peleg Sprague (now a Sena
tor of the United States) was nominated
as the candidate lor the office of Gover
nor ofthe State. The number ofthe Con
vention wasthree or four thousand! Gen
eral King, who had been 'ooked to by
many as the person most likely to be no
minated, was present, and was appointed
President of the Convention. He made
an address, declining to be considered
one of the number from whom a candidate
was to be selected.
Original Anecdote.— An old Connecti
cut farmer, whoeherished an inveteratean
tipat hy against peddlers, was once accosted
by one of these “traveling merchants”
with—
“Good morning' sir. Couldn’t I sell yon
some of my goods to-day?”
“Well, 1 don’t know—-very possible
you might—let s see what you’ve got.”
The peddler accordingly unshouldered
his pack, and displayed them temptingly
to the examination of the fanner.
“Is that all you have to sell said the farm
er.
‘Yes—what more do you want?”
“Why, I want a good large sized grind
stone.”
“Do you suppose, sir that I would carry
grindstones on horse-back? '
“I beg pardon,” said the farmer,“l real
ly thought you was a foot."
FOUR months after date, application will be
made to the Honorable the Inferior Court of
Lincoln County, while sitting tor ordinary pur
poses, for leave to sell the real estate of An

We wish the Richmond
county was finally arranged. Our Banner is •
always up; but we wish to show the men who
will fight under it. We desire to know at once,
with whom we shall again triumph, in our en
’ deavors to preserve the pr««e and quiet of this
great Republic, and place its integrity and secu
rity on a rock, that shall forever defy the as
saults of all its enemies, at home or abroad.
The GMesays that on the Ist of the present
month, after all the heavy payments have been
made in July to meet most of the large appro
priation bills recently passed, the Secretary has
still on hand subject to draft, about ten millions
of dollars ; and that if another cent should not
be collected for the whole of the residue of the
year, it will probably have a sufficiency to meet
punctually all the current expenses, and to pay
the remainder of the public debt.

Mr. M’Duttle has replied to a request of a *
large number of his constituents, in Abbeville ‘
, District, to be permitted to continue his services
i in Congress, that his ill-health lays him under
an “ imperious necessity ” to decline, and if bis
health is not improved in two months, that he
will be obliged to resign his present seat. He
has, however, before he finally retires, if his
health shall permit, promised “a general sur
vey of the political condition and prospects of
the country.”
The meeting referred to passed the following
resolutions:
Resolved, Thai we respectfully reqnest Mr.
M’Duffie to consent that his name l»e again
placed before the people of this Congressional
District, as a candidate for a seat in the House
of Representatives.
Reeolred, That should he be prevented by loss
of health, or other good and sufficient cause,
from acceding to our wishes in this respect, he
will retire from our service with the most cor
dial approbation for his past services; our.
warmest sympathy in his afflictions; and our
best wishes for his future happiness and wel
fare.

We are more andjn ire convinced that we
have put the right construction on Gov. Troup’s
letter—that the “State Rights’ party he means
are his old friends of the Troup party, for
whom he did “ services” worthy of their “ro
collection,” If we are mistaken, and there are
so many contradictor}' interpretations, it be
hooves Gov. Troup to quiet the uncertainty by
an explicit declaration, as to whom “he and
his house will serve.” Still believing We are
right in our interpretation, we proceed to copy
the’data, on which we proceeded, adding further
that regard for Gov. Troup’s character for con
sistency, which we said was remarkable, amidst
such general delinquency, induced us to main
tain the opinion we have expressed. For if he
should declare the. contrary, and has thrown
himself info the arms of his old political foes,
what character does he deserve? What influ
ence can he maintain with any set of men, after
so recently giving utterance to the sentiments
and opinions which we copy below 2 If he is
a nullilier, he has most disingenuously endeav
ored to impose on his political friends, and if
he is not, it becomes him, from regard to his
own character, toplace the whole dispute hors
de combat, by an explicit disavowal of any
change of opinion from what these extracts
plainly indicate. We therefore, with hundreds
of others, call on Gov. Troup for a plain docu
ment to disabuse the public mind. Though
we, as we have said, have no great political re
gard for him, his character belongs to the State
—his name is identified with its distinctive pol
icy, and such recollections it becomes us to as
sist his political friends in preserving. These
are the opinions to which we have alluded:
“ I am not certain that you are aware of my
earlv ami uniform disrelish of the doctrine of
nullification, as maintained by the ruling party
in a sister State.”
“ I would offer offer up my life to sustain the
Union for a single day.”— Troup.
“ There is no constitutional remedy for un
constitutional laws, but the Ballot Box.”
“ There is no power given by the constitu
tion to resist the laws of the United States;”
and “as states may do very imprudently and
unwisely what they have a right to do, it be
comes them to act very deliberately and cau
tiously, because it is lawful for other states to
unite against them, to compel a fulfilment of
their obligations under the public law.
‘‘Fifty years of Union without convulsion, is
no trifling evidence of intelligence, of prudence,
of subordination, of contentment. How many
guarantees besides, are to lie found against has
ty and inconsiderate action, by which great
blessings are to be lost. An insulated state may,
lor a moment rescue liberty: but liberty is not
to be maintained without independence, and in.-
dependence cannot long be maintained by an.
insulated state. I wonld rather say upon the
whole, that states would not secede for fight
and trivial causes—that grave and weighty con
siderations alone could influence them—that
only gome grievous oppression, or frightful ty
ranny, driving them to despair, could divide
them from the Union.”
“ The union of all the states, fop |he preserva
tion ofthe sovereignty and independence of each
—when it performs thjs office the tlnion is sacred:
when it fails, it is worth the support of those only,
