Union can lie alien to ua, I am unwilling
toclojo llu coniiuutiication witliout wuno
reference to our relation! and iluu'ia to
the t (institution and government of the
United Slulea.
Tlija cein to he made morn iinpera

rcceiijly been but too manifeat in ihe pro
ceeding of one branch of Congrcai, and
which, if they do not threaten and en

the Union, havevexcitcd aolicitude for ita
aafety. )

title that of American eilhtni a name
known and reapecled throughout ihe world,
and which, wherever we may be, hat
power to protect ua from the dcapotiam of
hmprroror hing.
A a party to the constitution. Kentucky,
interchangeably, with Ihe other Stales,
pledged hersolf to abide hv and nuppori
that constitution and the Union which it
established. If that pledge were her
only obligation, it ought to be inviolable.
Out the seal of Washington stamped up.
on it the thousand glorious recollections
asaocialed with its origin the benefitk
and bleaaingo it has conferred the gran
der hopea it now inspires, have, day by
day, increased our attachment, until the
mere sen of plighted faith and allegiance
ia lost in proud, grateful, and atTectlonate
devotion.
I can entertain no apprehension for the
file of such a Unhn.
The approach of any danger to it would
be tha signal for rallying to its defence
the first' moment of its peril would ba the
moment of its rescue. I persuade myself
that there will be round in l-onprras, on
the exciting subject which haa givin tinn
to the late agitation and alarm, a Kiirfot'
btarmef, and a lei'ie patirnte, that will se
cure ui from dancer; and that ihe very
men who, in the heat and contention of
debate, have spoken most boldly the lan
guage of defiance and menace to the Un
ion, will not bo hindmost in making sacri
fices for its preservation.
The Union has further security, in the
parental care ami guardianship of ita pre.
nent Illustrious Chief Magistrate ; and, far
above all other securities, it has the all.
powerful publio opinion audalTcolion of
the people.
To Kentucky and the other western
Staleain the valley of the Mississippi, tho
Union is indespensable to their commer
cial interests. They occupy ihe most fer
tile region of the world, eloquently des
cribed by a celebrated foreigner aa 'lha
most magnificent abode that lha Almighty
ever prepared aa dwelling-place for
man.' These Slates, already populous
United Slates. They are remote from the
a. a - aa
aea ; ana to enable l hem, with any advan
lage, lo dispose of their boundleaa produc
lions and purchase their supplies, they will
require ail tha channels and avenues of
commerce, and or all the markets, porta
anu naruora, irom ooaion lonawurleaos.
Under our present Union wa enjoy all
these facilities, with the further advantage
of a maritime force capable to protect, and
actually protecting our commerce in eve
ry part oflhe world.
Disunion would deprive us, certainly,
to some extent, and moat probably to a
great extent, of thoae advantage and of
mat protection. I cannot enlarge on the
subject. A moment's reflection will show
Ihe ruinous consequences of disunion to
the commerce of Kentucky and the other
western Slates. The most obvious con
siderations al interests combine, then fore,
with all that are nobler and more cener-
ous, to make ihe Union not only an object
of attachment, but of necessity to us.
Kentucky is hot inenible to thecaus.
es which have produced so much sensibil.
ity and irritation with her brethren oflhe
wiuthirn States, nor is she without her
sympathy with them. Out she does not
permit herself to harbor ono thought a.
gainy the Union. She deprecates diaiin
ion as ihe greatest calamily ; she csn see
no remedy in it none, certainly, for any
grieveaui-c as yet complained of or to be
appreheiKled.
Kr mucky will aland hy and abide hy
the Union In Ihe lant, and she will hope
that ihe same kind Providence that ena
bled nur fathers lo make it will enable us
in preserve it. Our whole history has
aught ua a com ol ing confidence in that
Providence.
