Webster in an argu- ment, I believe, upon a question arising as to the boundary between Massachusetts and Rhode Island. " The speaker quoted in succession the opinions of Mr. Webster, Mr. Adams, and General Jackson, in support of his proposition, comment- ing on the same, and then proceeded with his argument on this brancli of the subject as follows: " Another mistake which I think is obvious throughout the speech of the Senator from Louisiana, is the assumption, not only that the Constitution ...is a compact, but that the States as parties to it are sovereign. Sir, they are not sovereign ; and this Federal Government is not sovereign. Paraphrasing the Mahometan expression, "There is but one God, " I may and do say, not without reverence, there is but one sovereign, and that sovereign is the people. The State Government is its creation ; the Federal Government is its creation ; each supreme in its sphere ; each sovereign for its purpose ; ])ut each limited in its authority, and each dependent on delegated power.
