whether of domestic or foreign relation,
it appeared to me deairable and useful to
tbe special notice of Congress. Unlike the
great a I. ties of Europe and Asia, and ninny
of those of America, tLe.se United States
re waMiug; their strength neither in for
eign w ar nor domestic strife. Whatever of
discontent or public dissatisfaction exists is
attributable to tbe imperfections of human
nature, or ia incident lo all governments,
however perfect, human wisdom can device,
iutb subjects of political agitation, as oc- i
cup; tbe public mind, consist, to a great
extent, of exaggeration of inevitable evils,
or over xeal in social improvement, or mere
imagination of grievance, having but re
mote connexion with an; of the constitu
tional functions or duties of the federal gov
ernment. To whatever extent these ques
tions exhibit a tendency menacing to the sta
bility of the constitution, or the iutegrity
of the Uuion, and no further, they demand
fbe consideration of the Executive, and re
quire to be presented by bim to Congress.
Before the Thirteen Colonies became a
confederation of independent Stales, they
were associated only by coniuiuuily of trans
al l antic origin, by geographical position,
and by the mutual tic of commou depend
ence ou Great liritain. Lett that tie was
sundered, tbi-y severally assumed the pow
ers and right f absolute self-government.
The municipal and social institutions of
each, iu laws of prop-.-rty and of personal
relation, cveniti political organization, were
such only as each one chose to establish,
wholly without interference from any other.
In tbe language of the Declaration of In
dependence, each State had " full power
to Irvy war, conclude peace, contract alli
ance, establish commerce, and to do all
sets aud things which iudependei.t States
may of right do." The several colonies
differed iu climate, in soil, inuatural produc
tions, in religion, in systems of education,
in legislation, and iu the tortus of political
ad mini-?: alion ; and they continued to dif.
fer in these rcpects w bcu they voluntarily
allied themselves as ."states to carry on the
war of the revolution.
The oiject of that war ' to disenthral
the United (.' lonies from f.T.ijju rule,
which had proved to be oppres-i.-e, and to
separate thera perniatiently from the mother
country ; the political result was the fouu
rljiiou of a federal republic of the fre
white meu of the colonies, constituted, as
they were, in di-tinct, aud reciprocally inde
pendent, Slate government-. As tor the
subject race, w bcther Indian or Afiiean,
the wi- and brave Statesmen of that day,
engaged in no extravasnt sehenie of social
change, left them as they were, and thus
preserved themselves an I their pj-teiily
from tie antrchy, ai.u the ever-recur'itii
eivil w;.r. which h ive prevailed in other re-vulutiuniiic-d
Kurnpcan colonic of America.
V. ben the confederated States found it
convenient to modify the conditions of their
association, by giving to the general govern
ment direct access iu some respects to tbe
people of the States, iii-teud of confining it
to action on the St ites a such, they pro
ceeded to fr-mie the existinj constitution,
adhering steadily to one guiding thought,
which was, ti delegate only such power as
was n-ce-sary and proper to the execution
rr spetiSc purposes, oi in other words, t
rctaiu as niueii as possible, consistently
with 'tfive purposes, of the independent
power of the individual State. For o'n
jecta of eoniuion defence and security, they
riitru-ted to the general govemmeLt certain
carefully defined function-, leaving a'.i
oth r as the undelegated rights of the sep
arate iiidet'cndetit sovereiirhtii s.
Such is tk constitutional theory of our
government, the practical observance of
w hich has earned us and ns aloue among
modern republics, through nearly three
generations of time, without the cost of
one drop of blood shed iu civil war. With
freedom aud eonoert of action it has ena
bled ns loconteud successfully on tbe battle
field aguih-t foreign foes, has elevated the
feeble colonics into powerful States, aud
ha raise 1 our industrial productions, and
our commerce which transports tiicw, to
tbe It rel of the richest and the greatest na
tions of Kun.pt. And the admirable adap
tation of our political institutions to tbeir
objects, combining local self-government
with aggregate strength, has e-labli.ihed
the practicability of government like ours
to cover a continent with confederate
States.
The Congrest of the United States, is,
in effect, that Congress cf soveieiiiii-,
which good men in the Old World have
sought for, but could never attain, end
whttb imparts to An. erica an exemptiou
from tbe mutable league for common ac
tion, from tbe wars the mutual invasions
and vague apiratins after the balance of
power which convulse from tune to time the
governments of Kuropt. iur co-operative
action rests in the conditions of permanent
eoufedei ation prescribed by the constitu
tion. Our balance of power is in the -titrate
reserved rights of 'he State, and
their eijual representation iu the A.-rate.
That independent fovereijjnty iu every one
of ti e States, with its reserved rights of
local self government assured to each by
tbeir co-equal power in tbe Senate, was the
fundamental ion'iticii of the eoii-titutiin.
Without it tbe Uuiou would neur have ex
isted. However de-ii ous the Lrgei Slates might

Of the circumstances of local condition,
interest and rights, in which it portion of the
States, constituting one great section of the
Union differed from the rest, and from ano
ther section, the I'iCit iniportaut was the pe
culiarity of a larger relative colored popu
latiou ia the southern than ia the northern
States.
A population of this class, held in subjec
tion, existed in nearly all tbe States, but was
more numerous and of more serious con
cernment in the South tban in the North,
on account of natural diffcrencu of climate
and productions ; and it was foreseen that,
for the same reasons, while this population
would dimmish, and, sooner or later, cease; In thu meantime, the pcoplu ot tho Lint- cllort to obstruct tlicir execution by riot and
