I FEDERAL RISLATIOIIIII
am oppressed with solemnity when
I turn from the reference to State af
fairs, over which have thus rapidly
glanced, to invite your attention to
those of our Federal relations
I regret to say they present a 'dark
and arid picture. The hope eo fondly
cherished by every patriot,. that a tee
toted Union upon the basis of the Con
stitution was the rich fruition destined
to crown the triumph of Federal arms
overtlietforces of the Confederate States
lu our lale unhappy conflict, has proved
eo far utterly illusive
No error has become of late more m
olar than the one that the States which
adopted the Federal Constitution were
never sovereign Another fraught With
greater mischief, is, that the United
States w i ts not the representative 'and
organ of the several sovereign States, to
the extent of the powersdelegated to it,
but was the government of the people of
the ttarty-sir States united and'consoli
dated
To those erroneous and miechiovous
-- dogmas; thervrore dangerous and start
ling one is for the first time put forth,
by th?arty having present control of
the IF deral Qovarnment, that the States
have RO , rights, but hear to the Federal
Goverment the same dependent relation
of dountisa to the States of their loos
,
tioP.
To whatever eitent this false theory
exhibits a tendency menacing to the
stability of the Constitution, the integ
rity of the Union, or the indeetructible
eharaoter of any sovereign or co-equal
Stale in our Federal system, It demands
and should receive our deliberate con
sideration.
Before the.tbirteen colonies beoame a
confederation of independent Btates,
they were associated only by communi
ty of transatlantic origin, by geographi
cal position, and by - the mutual tie of
„Ammon dependence on Great Britain.
When that tie was sundered, they sev
ally assumed the powers and rights of
absolute self-government. The municip
-11 and social institutions of each—its
laws of property and of'personal
reln
tion—eve,' Bs political 'organization—
were snob only as eaoh one chose to es•
tablreh, wholly without ipterferenoe
from any other. In the langulage of the
Declaration of independence, "each state
had full power to levy War,' conclude
peace, oonteaot alliances, establish cons-
Ineroe, and to do all oilieraotsand things
whioh independent States may of right
do." The several colonies differed in
climate, in soil, in natural production,
in religion; in systems of eduoation, in
jegialation, and in forms of pOlitioal ad-

ministration ; and they continued to
differ in these rrspects when they vol
untarily allied themselves, as States to
carry on the war of their independence.
The object of that war wan to disett
thrall the united colonies from the op
proesi•e I rule of their mother country.
That country had turned a deaf ear to
their growing complaints against a long
series of oppressions, which at last cul
minated in a claim of 'a right to tax,
without its correlative one of represen
tation
The success of the war . led to a per
manent separation betweenlthem.
The political result was the founda
tion of a Federal Itepiablio of free white
men of the colonies; constituted, as they

The first union of there thirteen inde
pendent State governments, under arti
cles of confederation, proved inefficient
to achieve the objects proposed and in

thirteen Stale gcvernjnents, and was a
union of governments.

The recent scheme of congressional

other ;

"Protootion"—lts Workings
It has become. painfully manifest, du
ring the past few weeks, that a crisis in
financial affairs is approaching ; n o t
from a scarcity of money, nor from the
usual causes that bring about such Elia
linters, but from the unhappy and blight
ing effects of the legislation of Congress
upon the industry of thecountry “Pr-o
tection" was one of the bobbies of the
old Whig party ; and when the “Repub

government, it mounted the out nag, and
ensuring the people of the good times i n

set off on a brink canter. Well, the raft

that we pity thorn
"Protection" does not furlash n mar
ket for the products of our country, nor
does it put money in the pookets.of the
people. It has simply enriched a few,
at the expense of the ninny. That it
