Excerpt from A Historical Sketch of the Formation of the Confederacy: Particularly With Reference to the Provincial Limits and the Jurisdiction of the General Government Over Indian Tribes and the Public Territory
A curious coincidence too, will be found in the circumstances of those states, whose political leaders have been loudest in their complaints at the supposed infringement of their privileges, which may contri bute to enlighten the public mind as to the motive of their discontent. The vehemence of their zeal in behalf of state rights, seems to have depended upon the magnitude of their territorial claims; and to have borne an exact proportion to the reluctance felt to yielding those claims to the just demands of the con federacy. Whether this zeal for those peculiar doc trines, is not merely a wish for individual, or local aggrandizement, at the expence of the general wel fare; how far unfounded complaints may tend to bring the real rights of the states into disrepute; What effect these domestic wranglings may have upon the national character, and in detracting from the moral force of our institutions: are questions well worthy the consideration of all men intrusted with the dirce tion of public afl'airs.
