Yes it does, Walt. It indicates that the union is separable in the event that the inhabitants on one region see their interest in separation. Did you not read the quote or something?
The future inhabitants of the Atlantic & Missipi States will be our sons. We leave them in distinct but bordering establishments. We think we see their happiness in their union, & we wish it. Events may prove it otherwise; and if they see their interest in separation, why should we take side with our Atlantic rather than our Missipi descendants? It is the elder and the younger son differing. God bless them both, & keep them in union, if it be for their good, but separate them, if it be better." - Thomas Jefferson, to John C. Breckinridge, August 12, 1803

Under natural law, not U.S. law.
The nature of the Union is permanence, and you won't find any of the first generation after the Constitution was adopted saying otherwise.
