'Webster commei
koova, tiiat i r
imitation existed
dtizeos uadei
govtframent,!
that end by
through such —^
had established a constitution anda £vmof gqv.
eminent. -,The previously existing and then exist,
iog form of government of Rhode Island treated
these proceedings as nugatory, so for as they went
to a new constitution, and u criminal so
far u they propped to confer authority upon any
persons to interfere with the acts of the existing
government"
lie then goes on to show that an existing gov
eminent can only be changed by the people, acting
under the. authority given by the existing constitu
tion or government, and assumes that no majority
con, by impulse, set aside the laws of a State.' If
change be brought about, it must be done by an
adherence to constitutional forms and usages, with
out which a popular movement becomes insurrec-
tion, and not legitimate action for the purpose of
producing constitutional reform.
He then proceeds to that “the constitution
does not proceed on any ground of revolution: it
does not proceed on any right of revolution but it
joes go on the idea that within and under the con
stitution, no new constitution/ can be established in
any State without the authority of the existing gov
ernment.
This cannothelpthc gentleman's argument much
Vypnsr his own case fells within the same range.
He has proved, be thinks, that there, was an exist
ing government a paper government at- leasts
rightfulgovernmentmb be alleges; Suppose ittobe
rightful. Suppose three-fouilhA of the people of
Rhode Island to have been engaged in already
to'sustain it What then? 1 How is it to be done
willmut the consent of the existing government?—
Because if that holds on, and will not
surrender till displaced by fori*, and if it is threaten
by force, then the case of the constitution arises,
snd the United aid the government
h.m » in, because an attempt to displace a govern
ment by force is “domestic violence." It is the
case provided for by the constitution. 1 If the ex
isting govefnmentliold on, maintain its post, though
threofourtlis of the State have adopted the new con-
stitution—is it notevident enough that an exigency
arises in which the constitutional pqwer here must
go to the aid of the existing government ? Look
at the'law of 2Sth February, 1795^—1 n A’oL I. of tbs
statutes .at large, page 4Q4:.*‘andin case of insur
rection against any State, oragai/ut the government
thvrtofy it shall bo lawful for the President; bn ap
plication of the legislature, .to call out the militia of
other Slates, as he may judge sufficient to sup
press such iosurrectioa." Insurrection against the
existing government is to be suppressed.
Now this is the view 1 take of what 1 have call
ed'the American system.. .These are the methods
of bringing about ebauges' in government.
Now it is proper to took iuto this record and
see what the questions are, that ore presented by it,
and consider. .
1. Whether the case is One for judicial, invest!-
galioa at all —that is, whether this Court can try
tbo matters which the plaintiff has offered to prove
in the Circuit Court below,-—and
2. lu the second place, whether many things
which lie did offer to prove, were not nets of
criminality, and therefore uo justification; and
0. Whether all that was ottered to be proved
1 wonld-siiow that, in poiot of feet, there had been
established and pul in operation any new cottslitu
| tian to displace the old charter government, of
, Rhode Wand. i ;• • . . j
I The declaration is in trespass. The wnt was
I issuedon.thoSth oCOctbber, 1812, in which Martin ,
Ltither complain*': that Luther Jforr2m..and others
broke into hisihouse in Warren, Rhode Island, on
the 20th of June, 1542, anddistorbed hisfomily, See.
The d«>fwn»teht unswerslhat large nembersof men,
in arms in Ultbde Island for the purpose of over
throwing thtr government of the stale, made war
upon it; tliat for, the preservalipq of,the 1 govern* j
meat and people.martial law hod been proclaimed
by the Governor, Under an act of the Legislature on |
the 25th of June, 1812. The plea gow onto aver.
that plaintiff was aiding andabetliog the attempt tat|
overthrow the government and that defendant wift i
under toe military of John T. Quid, and
was ordered to, arrest the plaintiff for which pur
pose he applied at the door of his house, and being
refused he forced’the.! door. . .. ..
. Tbo is for uentst and the plea is justm*
fog law of R bruts hliftn -Tbe ritt
pjeuwas-fifed at th* November tenn of JS42, ana
the ease was tried at the November term of 1813,
in the Circuit Court in Rhode. Island. And in order
to make out a defence, the d-fendint offered the
charter of Rhode Island, participation of the
•f I* in the Declaration <M m- its union
with the confederation iu its admission into the
Union in “20, its continuance in the Union, and its
continued recognition as a state down to May,
ISI3, when the constitution now in force was adop
ted. And here let it be particulariyremarked, that
Congress admitted Rhode Island into the constitu
tion under *i»* identical old charter government,-
tbereby giving «p»<ei/in to it as a republican form
of government And the defendant then refers to
all the laws and proceedings, of the Assembly till
the adoption of toe present constitution of Rhode
j«lanH- The defendant proposes to prove that Urge
number* of men were assembled in arms_ to de*
■troy the government, that he was acting under
competent military authority in resisting them &e_,
as set forth in the plea.:
To repel the case of the defendant the plaintiff
read the proceedings of the old legislature, anddoc
uments, to show that the idea of changing the gov
ernment had been entertained as long ago as 1720.
He read also rcsslntious of the Assembly of 1541
—memorials praying changes in the constitution,
dec, See. He next offered lo prove tliat suffrage
associations were formed throughout the stale in
1»10 and ’4l; that steps were taken bv them for
bolding public'meeting*, and to show the proceed
ings held thereon. In' the next place a mass con
vention was held at Newport, attended by over
: fonr thousand persons and another at Providence
which over atx thousand attended; at which resolu
tions were pansbd which were here offered. Then
he offered to prove the election of delegates—the
meeting of the convention in OcU 1811, the com
pletion of the draft, its submission lo the people,
tbeir voting upon it, its adoption and the proclama
tion of the 13m of January, 1812, that the eonslitu
lion so adopted was tlie law of the land.
That is the substance of what w&shere averred.
The plaintiff next offered lo prove tbattlic constitu
tion was adopted by a Urge majority of the quali
fied voters of the stale; tliat officers were elected
under it in April, 1812; that the new . government
aaembled on the 3d of May* and he otlered a copy
of its proceedings • • . . . ■
He sets forth lhatjhe Court refuaed to admit testi
mony Upon these subjects, And ruled that the gov
ernment and law of tbe state were in full force,
and that they justified the action of the defendant^.
Twill give a few references to other proceeding*
of this new government. Tbe new constitution
was proclaimed on tbe 13th of January, 1912. On
the 13th of April officer* were appointed under it,
and Mr. Dorr wu chosen Governor- On the 3d of
May the new legislature met, was organised, and
then, it is insisted, the new constitution became the
Tdwofihe land—oa that 3d dgyof May. The Legisla
ture sal through that wholiday,rooming and even
ing adjourned; met tbe ne)rt day; and sat through all
-andEvening, and did a great'
deal orpapet-' busiDess. It went through all the
forms of choosing a Supreme Court, and on
the evening of tbe 4th of May it adjourned, lo meet
again on the 1,1 Monday of July in Prmrnlcnoc,
“And neverword rpaktf morel"
It never re-aserabledi ThbGovcrnment,tbcn what
ever it was, came into' existence on the third day
of May and went out iff existence on llio fourth
day of May.
j now give some references concerning the
new constitution authorized by the government—
Tbe present constitution was framed m Nov.lbU.
It wo* voted upon by the people on tlie «51rf,2 , -d
and 23d days of November, was then accepted,
and became by its own provisions tbe constitubon
of Rhode Island on the first Tuesday of May, 1 ’ HI3.
Now what, in tbe meantime, had become of 51 r.
Dorr’s government? According to their own prut*,
ciple they say they are forced lo admit that it was
superseded by the new government But they
had no new government till May, 1613. According
to them, then, there was an inttrrtguttta of a wliqte
year. If they had a government, what became of
it? If it ever comoio, what pat it out of existence.
Why did it out meet on the day to which/t had
adjourned? It was not displaced by the new con
stitution, because that hod not hewn agreed upon
in convention till November, it was not adopted
by.the people till the last of Novoraber, wd rt did
not go into operation till May, What became of
1 itf , ' ,
I think It i* important to note that the new con
dilution, qliHiAn) Jccording <®
forms, came thu* into operation in May, 181 J, and
i w,, admitted by all to be the constitution of tho
! State. What then happened in the State of Rhode

*The main ground upon which tip prisoner
sought far • justification was, that a .constilotioo
r>xt heea adopted by a majority of jadnlt. .
-population of this State,, voting for their primary
or. natural capacity or condition, and, that h«LWa*
.subsequently elected and did the acta charged, as
Governor,.under it, -He offered the vote* them*
selves to prove its adoption, which were also to be
followed by proof of his election. This evidence
we have ruled out Courts and juries, gentlemen,
do mjt count votes to determine whether a constitu
tion has been adopted, or a Governor elected, or
not, Courts take notice, offered frotn
the bar, what the constitution is or was, and who
is or was the Governor of their-own state. It be
longs to the legislature to exercise this high duty.
It is the Legislature'’ which in the exercise of its
delegated sovereignty, counts the votes and do*
dares whether a constitution be adopted «r a Gov
ernor elected or not, and we cannot revise or re-
•rse their acts, in this particular, witliout usurp*
ing their power. 1 t
'“Were the votes on the adoption of our present
constitution offered here to : prove that it waa or
was not adopted, or those given for the Governor
under it* to prove that he was or was not elected,
we could not receive the evidence ourselves, we
could not pennit it to pass to the jury. And why
ndt? Because if. we uid so, we should-cease to be
a mere judicial, and become a political tribunal,
with the whole sovereignty in our bands. Neither
the people nor the Legislature would be sovereign.
\Ve should be sovereign; and we should deal out
14 parties litigant, here ot our bar, sovereignly to
this or that, according to laws or roles of our own
making, and heretofore' unknown in courts. In
what Condition would this country be, if appeals
Could thus be taken to courts and juries? Thu
jury might decide one way, and that another, nod
the sovereignty might be found here to-day, and
there to-morrow.
| “Sovereignty is above courts or juries, and tht
creature cannot sit in judgment upon its creator.
■ Were this instrument offered as the constitution of
a foreign stale, we might, perhaps, under some cir
cumstances, require nroof; of its existence, but
even in that case the fact would not be ascertained
by counting the votes given at its adoption butf>y
the certificate of die Secretary of Slate under the
| broad seal of the* state. This instrument is not
offered as'n foreign 'constitution, nod this court is
! bound to know what tlio constitution of the Gov
ernment is under which it acts, without any proof
even of that high character! We know nothing of
the existence of.the.ro called ‘people’s constitution
aslftWjand there is no proof before you of its
adoption; and of the. election of the prisoner #•
Governor under it,' nnd you can return a verdict
only on the evidence that has passed to you.” 1
Having thus attempted to state the questions os
they arise, nnd hoving : referred to what has taken
iu Rhode Island. I shall present what farther
1 have to snv in three propositions:
Ist. I say first that the matters offered to be pro
ved by the plaintilfin the Court below are not of
judicial cognisance; and proof of them, therefore,
was properly rejected by the Court.
2d. If all these matter* could be and had been le
gaily proved, they would have constituted no
defence, because tney show nothing but on iUtgal
attempt'to overthrow the government of Rhode
Island. ; ,
3d.'No proof was offered by the plaintiff to snow
that, feet, another government had gone into
operation,' by which the charter government had
been ;displace«L • ,
And first, these matter* are not of judical cogm
xance. Does this need arguing * Aire the various
matters of fact assembly of meetings,
the appointment of riommittees, the qualifications
of voter*,—h» there’any one of all these matters of
which a court of taw can take cognizance iu a
question where they are to decide' on sovereignty?
The thing to be proved is a change oT sovereign
power. Two legislatures existed at the same time,;
both power .to pass law*. _ Both cannot 1
have; a legal existence. What then is the attempt!
of our adversaries 1 To put down one sovereign |
government and to pat another up, by facts and ,
proceedings in tegnrd to elections out of doors, un* 1
autliorixed by any law whatsoever. Regular pro .
ceeding* for a change of government may in
some cases, perhaps, be taken notice of by a court,
ami the court must look elsewhere lhanoutofdoors i
mid to public meetings, irregular and unauthorized
for the decision ofsuch aqoestidn as this. It nat-|
urally looks tolhat authority under which it sits
here, to-, the provisions of the constitution which
have created this tribunal, and to the law* by
which its proeecdinjsaro regulated. It must look ,
to the act* of the government of the United Slates
in its various brandies. ; * I
Tliis Rhode Island disturbance, as every Ixxly
knows, was brought to the knowledge of the PrCa*!
ident of the United States by the public authorities
of Rhode Island; oAd'bow did he. treat it! The ■
United States have guarantied to each state _-a re- 1
publican form of government And a law ofCou* |
gress'bas directed tbc President, in n oonstitntiooal \
case, requiring such action to call out the militia: to !
putdown- domestic violence.aml suppress msur
r jffnn- Well then, application was made to thej
i Breesidcnt of the United Stales, to the Executive
power of the United State*. For accordingtoonr
system it devolve* upon: the Executive to-deter*
mine, in the first instance, what are and what ore
not'governments. The Presidency recognizes gov-,
ernmeuts, foreign ] governments as they appear
from time to time in the occurrendes of this change*
. fuiwotkh.Theconittmioftwdjfee.Uwgjwrt
emmeni of any slalc, m*kmg it necessary to appear
with an armed force, to call out the militia and put
it down.
Two things may here be properly considered.—
The first is that the constitution declares that the
U. -***«♦«• shall protect every state against domestic
violence; and the law of *96 making provision for
carrying this constitutional duty into effect in all
proper cases, declares- that **in case of an insurrec
tion in amtrtaie against the government thereof! it
IxgSfrful for lliq President of the United
Stales to2m|out ;the militia of other stales to sn^
• press suchjnsurrectwuit!’ These constitutional and
legal provisions ihakeit the indispensable doty of
the -President ip decide-in cases of corarao
tion, wtial is the rightfull i government of the
state. He cannot avoid such decision.. _ And
in this case, he Redded of course-tbat the exirting
government, the.ch<«ter government, was the right
ful government.''"*" i
In the next jtloce, if eventsbad made it necessary
to call out the militia, ahdtheofifeers and soldiers of
of such militia, in protecting the existing govern
ment, had done precisely what the defendants in
ihis case did,could Enaction have been manifested
against them 1 ? Jr* • ■
In replv to the requisition of theGovemor, the
President staled thalhedid not think it was yet time
;fi)f the application of force; but he wrote a letter to
the Secretary of War, in which be is directed tn
confer with the Governor of Rhode Island, and,
whenever it should appear to them proper, to vail \
out from MaAsacausetts and Connecticut a militia
force snflicicnl to terminate at once the insurrec
tion in Rhode Island. We are at no lore to know |
how the Executive government treated the insur- j
rection in Rhode Island. ’ It was regarded a* to be
put down. That is manifest from the President’s
letters to the Secretary of War and to Governor
Now the eye of this Court must be directed to
the proceedings of the Government, which had its
atteiitiuu called to th« which did insti
tute proceedings respecting it, and the. Court
will learn from the proceeding* of the Executive
branch of the government, and of the lwi»Cham
bers ulxjye us, liow the disturtranccs inTthode
Island were regarded,—wltcthcr they wcrelooked
upon as the esufolishment of any government, or as
a mere, pure unauthorized, unqnalified Miwrrtfiois
against lie authority of the existing gore mm cut of
the state. , ,
I say, therefore, that, upon that ground, these
facts are not foci* which this court can inquire in
to, or which the Courts below could try, because
they are facts going to prove {if they prove any
thing,) tbo establishment of a new sovereignty, and
font is a question tobesettledelsewhere andother
wise. From the very nature of the case it is not
a question to be decided by judicial inquiry. Taka
for example one of the points which it involves;
My adversary Offered to prove that the constitution
was adopted by a majority of the people of Elude
Island, by a large majority, a# be alleges. What
does tins offer call on your honors to do! Why to
ascertain by proof! what is the number of citixens
in Rhode bland, aud how 1 many attended the meet
ing at which delegates totlie convention were elec
ted, and,then you have got to odd them all up, had
prove by testimony the qualifications of every one
of them to be an elector. It is enough testate sueh
a proposition to show iu alwnrditv. As none such
was ever sustained in a court of law, so none such
can or ought to bio sustained. Observe that uiinute*
of proceedings'can be no proof for they were made
by no authentic persons, registers were kept by no
warrantedfifficers, clmirmcn and moderators were
chosen without authority. In short there was jio
official record, there is no testimony in Iho case but
parole.' I‘think that Chief Justice Durfee was right
in hU interpretation of tlie law.
Rut. again, l say you cannot look into tho fact*
attempted to be proved, because of the certainty
of the continuance of the old government till the
legal constitution went into effect on the 3d of May,
ISI2. To prove that tliero was another constitu
tion of two.days length would be übsuriL And I
*ay that tho decision of Rhode Island herself} by
| herTLcgisiaturo, by her Executive, by the •judi
cation of her highest court of law, on tbo trial of I
iJorr, lias shut up the whole case. Do you propose |
—1 will not put it in that form—diut would it be
pro per for this court to reverse that opinion! -That
declares that the Judges of Rhode Island know
nothing of the ‘•People’s Constitution;” is it possible
then for tins court or the court Wow, to ktww of
ll 'lt appears to me that; if there were nothing else
in the case, the: proceedings of Rliode Island her
self most abut every mouth, tn tbs court
and out of it. Rhode Island is competent, to do
cldc the question herself and every body else ought
to lie bouud by her decision.
„ And it U but a branch of this to say, according
to my second proposition,— .
2. That if every odereu had been proven,
if in the nature of the case these (acts and. pro
; ecedins* conhl have been received aa proof the
court could not have listened to them,because ev
err one of them is regarded by the stale in wlucb
they took place as a criminal act. Who can de
rive anything from acts declared to bo criminal?
The very proceeding* wluch are how set j up here
•how that the nhw constitution was Ibunded upoa
acU which the Legislature of the state, bad provi
ded punishment for* and which the ccmru of the
stale We. punished. ‘ All, therefore, which the
plaintiff baa attempted to . provo here,; are heta
which he wha not allowed to prove, because they
wot criminal in themselves, and have been ao
(xttsted aud punisbedjso lar aa the stale Govern
ment Id its discielkm thought proper. - :
