duct of those who are endeavoring to bring about consolidation aye. sir. tilaG | very consolidation for which the gentle man from Massachusetts Is contending % # --the exercise by the Federal Govern- ments of powers not delegated in rela- ton to ssinternal improvements and the protection of manufactures. And

 why, sir, does Mir. Jefferson consider J consolidation as leading directly odisun- ion? Because he knew that the exercise by the Federal Government, of the S powers contended for, would make this Government without limitation of powers, thesubmissionto which he con sldered as greater evil than disunion itself. There IS one chapterin this his- q tory, however, which Mir. Jefferson has nottlIiedup, and must therefore supply the deficiency. ltis to be found in the protests made by New England against the acquisition Of Louisiana. h rela- tiea to that subject the New F,Ilglaad doctrine is thus laid down by one Of her learned political doctors of that day. now doctor oflaws at the head of the great literary institution ofthe East; I mean Josiah Quincy, President of Harvard College. quote from the speech de Iivefed by that gentleman on the floor of Congress on the occasion of the adfnis- sion of Louisiana into the Union.

 > MT. Quincy repeated and justified a remark he had made, which to save all misappreheasion, he had committed to writing, in the following words: If this bill passes, its my deliberate opinion. that it is virtually a dissolution of the Union; that 1t will free the States from their moral obligation; and as 1t will be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some, to prepare for a separation, ami cably If they caa, violently if ftheymust.

 Mir. President, Iwishit to be distinct ly understood that all the remarks ! have made on this subject, are intended tobeexclusiyelyappliedtoa toa party, which have described as the < peace party. of New 1ngla Id '-embracing the po- htical associates of the Senator from Massachusetts, party which eontroll- edthe operations efthat State during the Embargo aadthe Var, and who are just ly chargeable with all the measures I have reprobated. Sir, nothing has been farther from my thoughts than to im- peach the character or conduct of the people of N. England. For their steady habits and hardy virtues, trust enter tain a becoming respect. l fully sub scribe to the truth of the description giv- en before the Revolution, by one whose praise is the highest eulogy, that tlle perseverance of Holland, the activity of France, and the dexterous and firm sa- gacity of English enterprise, have been

 more than equalled by this recent peo- pie 7" Hardy, enterpriziag, sagaeioas, industrious, and moral, the people of New England of the present day, are worthy of ftheiranc@tors. Still less, Mir. President, has it been my inte eation to say any thing that could be construedinto want ot respect for that party, who, trampling on all narrow, sectional feel ings, have been true to their principles in the worst of times-I mean tho De mocracy of New England.

 Sir, viii declare that highly as ap- preciate the democracy of the South, consider even higher praise to be due to the democracy of New Eaglaad-who have maintained their principles " thro' good @g throughevil report,a whoat eve ryperiod of our national history have stood lliy for ss their their atT;T atT; theirwhole country, S0 nothing but their country" In the greatpolitieal reyoIu- fion of '99, they were found united with the democracy ofthe South, marching under the banner of the constitution, led on by the patriarch of liberty, in search of the land of political promise, which they lived not only to behold, but to pos sess and to enjoy. Again, Sir, in the darkest and most gloomy period of the war, whenour country stoodsngle hand ed, against" the conqueror of the con- querors of the world, ss when all about and around them was dark, and dreary,i disastrous and discouraging, they stood
