But these are not the only points, tn which

have a right, therefore, lo eipeci your agents.

harmony and happiness ol our people must
depend upon a just discrimination bet ween the
separate rights and responsibilities ol the Stale,
and your common right and obligation under

opinion, are the consideration, which should
form ibe true basis ol future concord in regard

can hardly happen that its action upon any

matters strictly domestic according to ibe will
ol their own people.
In eipreesing briefly my views upon an im
