it seems. There is a sovereign right, more

 sovereign than all these, which is right to arrest their exercise, whenever moiety of those who have surrendered them deem it convenient or eXpedicnt to do so. This is sovereignty more anomalous than any in the history of government. It is entire sovc- regnty in each and aH The harts, and sove- regnty in the 7vhoie. A treaty made with foreign government, under all the forms'of the constitution, and, with the consent of the con- stituents of the Federal government, each and every one of them, may be suspended by either at it's sole will or pleasure. What fo- reign State would covenant with the chances of twenty four governments, and it may be fifty, superseding the contract on their own views of constitutional construction? What efficiency would attend a declaration of war when each collection of numbers comprising what is called State, may stop the supplies9 may hinder the preparations? Would not such a government be the laughing stock of the whole world? If our ancestors meant to form such government they had better left us with the crazy and ricketty machine of the old Confederation. We then should not have been deceived by the false pretence of an ef- hcient system.
