To an American, the condition of his own country, and the various steps by which it has progressed to its present state, are eeply interesting. Aside from the consideration, that the affairs of one's own country are of more consequence to him than those of other nations, the events which have taken place on this continent within the last sixty years are of immense interest to the world at large, and have an important bearing on its future destinies.
For these reasons, the United States, both collective ly and severally, occupy considerable portions of the volume. It has been one object of the writer to point out the opposition which the, Federal constitution met with in its incipient stages; the resistance which has, on several occasions, been made to authorities assuming to act in accordance with its provisions, and the various constructions which have been put upon the instrument, by the several departments of its administrators.
