This constitution has undorgtne the ordeal cf enlightened investigation, its principles have breacantassed and scrutinized; iis excellencies have been exhibited; some inipcrfec:itns have t een cotiecd and reformed, it has, also, widvstood tlie aho k of desolalise; war; the result o( a'l wl ich, has produced a conviction, that its liiuCit Ml:y coaiiit in its devt hpomet.t. 1? the fiiond3 cf nrumohy itluilron sni, that Ro;n.l!i:s can only tl rih in a sin iP extent of ter rory; that wheneror thev attempt io extend fieir borders bevoni t'.ie limit of a ci'y a County, ir a province, they Iromneccs-lt Cinmb'e to the i'J.-t: and to enforce tl.eir ideas upon lhisv.bj?ct tbev refer us to the ancient republics Whete this idea is inoulcated , a ft ar i? entertaired iy our friends, and a bop? indued by orr mercies, that cur tenitory is too extsi siv, too unwieldy, and that we, also , in th" space of a fef rears, nmt sink beneath 0'Ton weight. But, it should be reoollected, ftp w cit'ietn. that the fundamental principles 0 oir government, sre -.try different, from those . which rejrulated the ancient republics; and fcunSieatly bcliee, if we adht:re ?tri- tk, to those principles, teitner the fears of our friei ds, nor the hopes of oar enenues, wiil ever be roalired.

But etery day's experience carries srith it-a refutation to this idea. But thru we are told, our government is composed of such discordant materials, such a v ariety of interest, as ft render aaarchy aai confusion, ia be end,

tertam tai iatvitablt. We trill uurjlit &i point a little. By refering to original principle, w ditcover that all powers which are necessary Cox general defence of the Union, for the regulation of our intercourse with tcreign cations and witU each other, hate been delegated to the federal government, and thence become the, appropriate aubjects of federal jurisdiction In every cqbV-' " muuity, there exists two separate and distinct in 1 terests,one of which might be denominated, general, and the ether, local. The wisdom of our anceFtcrs saw this distinction, and they thought proper, in the organization of our governiaent, to confine the representation of our gener al interests to the federal depaitineut, and the repmeiuation of our local interuts, to. the departments of the indiniutJ states 'This is a distinction easily to be observed, .and which may be as easily adhered to. T he boundaries cf these tro jrrisdictiens, an distinguished by marks tco plain, not to be discovered. Thete marks should be the objects cf o'ir coustaint attention We must neither suffer tine, nor any circumstance, whatever, to eflece thfcmn So fir, then, as it relates to our general intettst, I think I may safely say, there is no die' tinciicn, ia United America; there is no cause for jealousy. Ia Congress the interests of Maia and Indiana, are completely blended; they are : the same- In their local Icghduttircs, the? -may., differ fry considerably; bei-uUe their local inteies may be very different: yet this difference is r o cause for jealousy; because each can be tf fcctually represented, without the intervention of the other; without danger of clashing oi collission. Why sdjouii! it be supposed that the complication diced interest in the U. S. should ever te a source cf discord ? Admiitbos' interests to b e cr sj v ariaut, tbey need not interfere wirh eacli other; they are confined cxculsivcly, within the ltniits cf their respective jurisdictions. And as 1 1 cicie remarked, I still maiutain.that so far as relation is had to the purpoecs for nhich the federal gcVcrnment, was established, there is no centrariety: and, whenever, I hear a person dodoi iog upon the great variety, cf iuteitsts in th li. S. representing that, as ac&'ise for anarchy; fixing that, as a groucd, upon which to predicate fen argument ill favor of the downfall cf our iavaluablc institutions I begin to sofpct, that he is either ignorant of the principles of our etm?:tution; or, that he has some designs, dzs'hct frcm the public good, or vainly Sitters himself, with the hope of profiting by oeats destructive tc public happiness If our local legiOatures were abolished, antl ' p the powers cf government, consolidated in cce federal hcad; we might then hava reason to fear the influence of local feelings; we might then apprehend that jealousy wo'ild taiseher dcfcrrned ci est. and by her pestiferous breath, with- . er all the flowers oi happiness and domestic tranquility. Bnt as things are now organized, if?hc gain adiaittanct auiorg us, it must be by stealth, it must be, ty first hushing Ike oice of polttieal virtue ; by overwheluing our reason, and by perverting 'he excellent principles cf ojr constitution. Before our government can be overthrown there must be a prostratiou of public virtue ; the people. themselves svi&t become mdifrt a-' bout iheii- rigrits This, I think impossible, tsppci3'ly wb-n it is recollected, that oar guveramtnt, was constituted criginally tf thoie choict spirits, who, disdaining tocru-gto the ensigns of royalty, sought a refuge here, where they could breaih, Without interruption, the sweet air cf Iibeitv. Fcr my part, fellow citizen?, so far frcm conjecturing the dowufail of our institutions, I would rather anticipate the period, when we shall become die common centre of the Republics of tho woild. I would rather suppose that the correct devtlopemer.t.cf the excellent principles of our Constitution, may yet prodice a revolution i.i m undare affairs, which may shake the foundations, of all the mouachies of Europe, or even f the. world. We see, that these principles are now taking deep root, and spreading over a vast coi iii eu' . Oir brethren of the south, bave asF. rted ti.f ir. independence, and some cf them haw el iato.ed it. pray God, that they may all obtain it. These principles having thus become permanent). established on the new, may thty not, also, thed their hsppy influence upon the 0!d Continent ? The. successful accomplishment of so grand ?a object, will, however, much depend on the United States. If we abuse our constitution, and our lib r tits; if we suiVi uiiielvcs to be drawn into the whirlpools of fiction, all is gone. This is a drrger, against which, we must go continually shielded. For, however nr pleasant the remark, iti? revet tl elets, true, thatthere will, in almost every country, ciist, a description of men, w ho, being dc-tit; te cf merit to recommend them, will make it their object, to raise the rough billows of contention , and upon their surface , to float themselves into power and influence. I do i.t t say such men exis,tin Indiana. I would fain hope they do uot; but that they may exist, your u Liable father, in his last farewell to you, ha -urn tts tttn oHy war fl i fig y cii ngft fcstlhem . I'is admonitions, upon this subject, should be earefilly ireanred by every American; they they should le deeply impriatcd upon your minds, tl;ey should be instilled iato the minds of jour children. Fcr believe me, if ever your liberties are destroyed, it will be by first exciting divisions among you. Physical force cannot accomplish it. Your strength and local situation render it impossible.
