This w-as a great victory for the Union party, and a sore defeat to the nulliflers. This oath wa« the subject of discussion throughout the State, in the Sum- mer of 1834. When the Legislature assembled, two- tliirds of both Houpes passed it, and the Constitution was accordingly amended. The Committee declared that it wajB not intended to be inconsistent with the oath to the United States, and this explanation was ac- cepted by the Union party. But by many it was re- garded as an abandonment of ...principle. In after years the oath was taken by all without any hesitation or conscientious scruples. True allegiance to the State was not inconsistent with allegiance to ^the United Staties. Thei-e is, in fact, no difference in a Republic be- tween allegiance and obedience. It might be said that there is no such thing as allegiance in a Republic. The word was of Feudal origin, and has no application to a Republic.
