Jfig and restoring ; repells from its bosom by ' Us own innate energy, all the impurities accident may cast upon its surface, and flows fcnward undefded ; Representative Democracy, in its first attempt gigantic and successful, will pass from state to state ; from nation to nation J from continent to continent, ever secure in its own recuperative, self redeeming powers; renewing, renovating, and regenerating the political systems of the earth, until man, of every face and every clime, however degraded and disgraced by prejudice ; however dejected and dishonored by bigotry ; however shackled and enslaved by despotism, shall have cast off his bonds, reclaimed the image of his Maker, and delivered, redeemed, and emancipated, possessed himself of his inherent and unalienable rights ; Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. The victories of Cortez, and the triumphs of Pizarro, exposed all Southern America for centuries to the blood thirsty superstitious zeal, cold, calculating cruelty, and merciless tyranny of Spain. For centuries, millions of men have endured every oppression, and every deprivation, and every infliction "Which could subdue the mind of maij, Every weapon of despotism, and the whole ar

mory of priestcratt h&s been constantly and

unsparingly employed to reduce the high spi

But the agonv of Montezuma, the blood of

the Incas, and the crimes and sufF.iiags cf

and of the people ; and the descendants of

the conquerors and ot the conquered, ot the masters and of the shrves, of the Europeans,

Indians and Africans, now mingle together in the p session ot their common and equnl richf. But these are only in the course of

experiment. Among us the experiment has been made, and the glorious fruit of 50 years

(experience -ir oe than twelve millions ot freemen, at home prosperous and happy, abroad esteemed and respected, constantly in

creasing in knowledge, wealth, and power, j is the roud example to whuh each Aineri- ; can can boldly point the w orld. ! The contemplation, of the past, affords the ; most ample satisfaction. Our country's career has been bright and brilliant ; her mill- 1 tary and naval service has ever been distin- ; guir.hcd by virtue and heroism; her statesmen and orators are immortalized as patri- , cts, and are endeared to mankind as the friends cf humanity ; they have ascended the highest steeps of tame. Throughout the Union, the rapidly increasing facilities for education, and the ddfasion of useful knowledge, surpass all expectation. In commerce ;.nd the arts, the pel severing ingenmty, and enterprising industry of our auparyv:eo, have cutstripcd the first European nat'a us. The improvement of the advantages of niterHal communication, most liberally provided for us by nature, is most gratifying, is astouishin", and is uuprccedenu d in the history of

nations. And such, tcltow citizens, and

funds for joyful expectation, continually in-!

crease. .Nevertheless, hero aro comi consi

derations, causes of uneasiness perhaps, which from their importance to the cause of liberty, and to the progressive advancement of Representative Democracy, must warmlv interest every philanthropist; and which from their close connection w ith our peace, happiness and prosperity, must most seriously engage the attention "of every American patriot. The conservative principle of our torm of government, as relates to its nature or manner of constitution, is the peculiar facility it enjoys for amendment as relates to its mode of action, is responsibility at the ballot box. The experience of m.mv of the states has established the success of the first, and its competency and sufficiency cannot be doubted, at least when its action is not impeded by the operation of the federal compact. The Second, is common to all republics, and has never been found to be efficient in every emergency. In the governments of Europe, if there is a constitution, it is lint the charter of privileges, wrcntchcej by force from the unwilling hand of constrained despotism ; ck. any addition, any alteration, any amendment, from the nature of things there, could only be the work of a revolution, established by force, and stained by blood. With us, the constitution is the free act of the people, in the exercise of their sovereignty, done for their own benefit, and framed specially for the direction of their minister:;, in the' discharge of the duties o.nlided to them. And without any commotion, without any interruption whatever, in the ordinary functions of the existing government, the sovereigns, by their representatives, as experience may suggest, alter cr amend, add to or diminish, the enumeration of j ower centered on their servants. But this is ineffectual, unless t heconstitution is esteemed sacred by the people, and by their representatives. This is inefficient, unless the constitution is construed strictly, against the grant of authority, and in favor of its retention by the people. 'If there is a deubt whether a power' has been granted, however necessary to the general good its grant to the government may be, however necessary and beneficial its exercise would be ; rather than establish n precedent, on which sophistrv could build an ar

gument, or from which usurpation could j

uraw an example, let the temporary ev.l oe borne with. Let application be made to the sovereign authority if the possession of the power is essential to the common welfare, k w ill be granted. Let the palladium of c air liberties be carefully euavded. Let the ark ot oar political safety be closely vvatrhv.l. Let t'.ie sanoiitv of the e.onstit ui' n b - n; r-
