i'hii'h having thus a [negative on the '
other, on all the act?: of the Gotcrhment;
p the [lower of protecting itselF
against tin; injustice anl oppression of the

the exclusive organ of one portion of the
Siate. sif.i Iiv hcromimr the like organ of the
other, but ihe concurrent and joint organ (if
both. ami thereby the I rue and faithful Representative
of the whole State.
This fortunate comprise terminated the con.
tli-t, which li:ul so long divided and agitated
the State. So completely did it close it, that
from is a .'option until this time, a peridd iiT til.
iiio.i forty years, all local divisions and parties
crowing out of them, have entirely ceased,
'{'he upper and lower colfntry arc no longer
nani s! for politieal discord and agitation, and
the State has h-en blessed with an unanh
mitvof sentiment and freedom froin parties, altogether
witliout example in any other mem.
beroflho L'oimi. Nor has its ctiect been Ies3
happy in reference to her federal, than her interiiitl
telatioiis. To it, site owes, in a great
measure, her weight and high character and
landing in tin* i'nion, which, as incoiiMdera:
h'e.as she is iii extent of territory and popula* ,
lion, phires heron a le'-el in influence, with the
largest and mo>t populous ofits membe-s.
Destroy this jii>t and wise compromise, IjV
gh in;: to filler an undue preponderance iii,j}ie
govci ament ofth" State, and all this would be re ^
versrd. Discord, distraction, parites and factions - - w
with all their machinery and demoralizing eon- !
seipn-rees would follow.,and sink her far below
die-level she now occupies.* That the general
ticket would give such undue preponderance and
in the end d< stroy this Happy compromise, I shall ;
next proceed to show.
I Iimvi. .-iIrionTvsf.nu'ii. that it would give an
undue ami tinluir preponderance to the upper
division of tin' State in its federal relations: ?
l'..t?ii has I^Vu said. :t would be restricted to
i In * 111 without extending its influence to the gov.
> fti;11 ::i iit .?In* .State and giving either of iii
great political divisions undue preponderance in
it. '1 h?>?e who make this assertion overlook,
I iini-t think, the absorbing rharncter of povv.
r. .Nothing is more so.?Whenever it acquires
i preponderance, he it ever so small, it will
doulvaml imperceptibly commence the pro*
i.'es* of ahsorpiioii, and continue it until it all*
oi!.? the whole power unless efficient measlier*
lie taken in time t<> ronteract it. In this case
there are several circumstances, which would
greatly increase and accelerate this process,
which 1 shall now proceed to show.
Itsalop'ion wou'd intro luce the principle of
taking the sense of the state, as a whole, by
the mere numerical majority, without regard
to its two great natural and politic;''. divisions*
in.I the coiillictiiig interests growing out ol
Iheiii?a principle heretofore utterly unknown
!??the .s:aSe, cither in it? federal or interior rd.
le.tioiis, or in any of the political changes
through which it lias passed. Hut, of all the
li>rms. of power in a popular government, it is
hy fir the most absorbing in its character and
in I difficult to contend. It is indeed but the
absolute and despotic form of popular govern.
meiit. just as much so as the absolute & despbtit!
power of one man or a few, is ofthe monarchilm!
and a:-is!ncratical. Now, all cxperienfctj
11 Is a CoTi-l.tl.r qua ??l* ii - ^ dencv
in a'l coll-'titiilional governments to their ,
nb.o'ute and despotic form and in none rilorft
so, than in popular constitutional governments
like that of this State, resting on the principld
ol the concurrent majority, a* all such governincuts
inu>t. Indeed nothing short of a high
ilegn-c of intelligence and constant vigilance
can Counteract this tendency, as the hislory
..i .!! ir.,v.>i'iimeats nrove. Ourown botn
federal and st uc, already give strong indications
of it so much so, (hat it has boconie a fitted
uiiiiiitin in a large portion oflhu Union, that tho
mere inunercial majority of the wbsde, has the
absolute and indefeasible right to govern.
But, as absorbing as this power is of itself
the inline ,.f the election, in connexion with
which it Wniiiil lie introduced, would greatly increase
its force. Of all our elections, whether
ot the federal or Stato governments, the Presidenti:i|
election excites by far the greatest
interest, and exerts the greatest influence
over the public mind, because, it greatly exceeds
all others in importance. Such being tho casp
the place of electors is sought by ciliieris dfirU
lliience and <li>tinrtion, both on account of its
pr miiieneo an l the influence it is calculated to
give with the President and his administration
in thy distribution of tho honors and emolu.
it.'iuils of the federal government should the
candidate vo'cj for succed in bring elected;
Tiie.se considerations could not fail to induce
llio.st who aspire to po promlnont and. desirable
a station to eoiir* popular favor ailij especially
