That the power of the kilulc is commensurate with the volume of the wall of the people who compose It , and tho power of the Federal Governn-nt is less than the power of the State, by the extent of the rcstric ilfms Imposed iu its Constitution upon its functionaries ; nnd that they etorclsc the power of the Htuto in Hie manner pro scribed, and are subject to restrictions im posed upon tbo exercise of it in that in strutnent, have been ret forth as primary principles of our free government, but that they ure fast being undermined, and a ceri tinllzed oligarchy assuming supreme pow er, is a truth that is becoming dully more and more apparent These principles were not in i who in the war between the Htutes, for the Confederate (States, in the outset, sought to make them stronger arid more lasting in the Constitution adopted’ and in the laws enacted thereunder. But the day, we tear Inis dawned against which tho American people were sol emnly warned by Andtew Jackson, at Ids second inauguration, as President of the United States, in 1833, when ho predicted that the destruction of our Stale Govern ments, or tho annihilation of their co nir, d over tHe local concerns of th people, would lead to revolution unil anarchy, and tinnlly to despot' - in nnd military dom ination.

It is not more in accordance w ith the nature of our com pits government that the Union depends upon the States for its vigor, than the Staten should look to the Union for its strength The theory of our government enjoins that wo should look rather to the good til the whole by taking special care of the parts than that we should look to the good of the. parts by taking special care of tho whole Apply this theory to individual action mid the gieal fountaiu of political motive and power becomes pure, the result of which will be tlie preserva tion of tlie Constitutional lights and litier ties of all the States and the Federal l uioii Mu.
