In the spirit of conciliation, and for tho sake of peace, we consented to a deprivation 0I our rights, first by the ordinance of 1787, in reference to the Northwestern Territory, and secondly, by submission to the Missouri compromise.

Among a free people, addresses from a public servant to his constituents, should be frank and wWnmt disguise. When his opinions may affect tho public welfare, they should not be concealed.

In our union of sovereign States, there are few questions, however they may appear strletly Federal, whieh do not sometimes demand the consideration of the respective States of the confederacy.

The members of our national union consist of equal co-ordinate sovereignties, whose interests for good or for evil may be affected by the Federal government. They are hot only entitled to exercise a watchful ears over it proceedings, but when the constitution or the reserved righta of th States, or the people are threatened, upon the State governments especially devolves the duty of taking proper measur-i u. defend the one, aud protect the other. Xatiunal questions are, therefore, neo-essarily a part of State polities. My views of the original structure of our gov-eminent, and my interpretation of the constitution, are strictly democratic.
