will then be danger that the opposite
theory,; in favOr of consolidation, will
be pushed to the extreme, to the great
prejudice of the reserved rights pt
the States composing lbe*Fedcral IJn*
ion. We 'should however have confir
dehce in the power of local States’
rights,to take care of themselves under
the Constitution, and to prevent inm
proper encroachments of the,General
Government. When the General Gbv
ern'ir.ent was under the'control of the
slave power there was constant eh
croachtnetfts upon the rights of the
free States, or sections and individu
als'. Slaverj* could not have had any
existence without 'encroaching upon
thfe rights of others, for the plain and
simple reason that it'had no rights
of its own, and it is certain that it
cannot omexistwitli freedomj without
an “irref feasible conflict." But the;
suppression of the rebellion, will .ine
vitably bo'the-[death of slavery, and 1
the governments, State and National,
will-then, in fact, as weir as in name
or theory, be founded in universal
freedom and justice, the first of the
kind ever known in the world,. 1
No sane man can dotlbt that such a
system of Government will work
•* .1 : •
vvell.. The National or central Gpv- j
crnnrieht will be paramount, the States
will have all their reserved rights and
i i >.
local interests to attend to; there will
be no reason for serious:'sectional
