Still peddling this misleading statement and trying to pretend it showed Jefferson a secessionist? When it is clear he is NOT speaking of states in existence but possible future states. After all we could have sold that land to Canada had we wished without affecting the Union.
What difference does that make? Permitting the possibility of future states seceding is no different from permitting the possibility of current ones doing the same, hence his explicit statement that leaving would involve a "separation" from the "union." Once again you are simply being slothful since you do not like what the quote says.

I had not read your post when I posted my latest! Good observation.
