Romaine, Benjamin:

STATE SOVEREIGNTY, AND A CERTAIN DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION, BY BENJAMIN ROMAINE, AN OLD CITIZEN OF NEW-YORK. TO THE HONORABLE JOHN C. CALHOUN, NOW VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

New York: J. Kennaday, Printer. 1832. 54pp, disbound and foxed. Good+.

Romaine scolds Calhoun for being the "unequaled advocate" of the "anti-federal germ." Romaine warns against the notion that the States are Sovereign-- this is "a solecism in language and false in fact, to call that Sovereign, which is subject to the control of another." Undertaking a careful discussion of the foundations of the Union, Romaine exposes the fallacy of Nullification and State Sovereignty.
