But need I say, to those who have read history, that no despotism is more ab- solute than that of an unprincipled democracy, and no tyranny more galling than that exercised through constitutional formulas ? But the plea is idle, when the very question we debate is the per- petuation of that constitution now converted into an engine of op- pression, and the continuance of that union which is henceforth to be our condition of vassalage. I say it with solemnity and pain, this union of our forefath...ers is already gone. It existed but in mutual confidence, the bonds of which were ruptured in the late election. Though its form should be preserved, it is, in fact, de- stroyed. We may possibly entertain the project of reconstructmg it ; but it will be another union, resting upon other than past gua- rantees. " In that we say a new covenant, we have made the first old, and that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish awa}^"—" as a vesture it is folded up. " For myself, I say, that under the rule which threatens us, I throw off the yoke of this union as readily as did our ancestors the yoke of King George III.
