This is open folly.

The Constitution provides that the President and Vice-President of the United States shall be of different States; but says nothing as to the latitude and longitude of those States.

In 1828 Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, and John C.
Calhoun, of South Carolina, were elected President and Vice-President, both from slave-States; but no one thought of dissolving the Union then on that account.

In 1840 Harrison, of Ohio, and Tyler, of Virginia, were elected.

In 1841 Harrison died and John Tyler succeeded to the presidency, and William R.King, of Alabama, was elected acting Vice-President by the Senate; but no one supposed that the Union was in danger.
