PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDENT JACKSON.
97
States seceded from the alliance established by their Treaty with France. In either case, the act proceeded from the same cause. In neither case, did this act produce any other consequence than it was designed to produce by those who adopted it; a mere dissolution of the former bond of union, or association as to themselves. Nor in any case, can any other consequence rightfully result from it, on the part of the State declaring its secession, although it is possible that other effects may flow from the course of the other party. These effects shall constitute the subject of my next number.
