[We published yesterday the able opin
ion of Judge Woodward, on the coubtitri
tionality of the conscription act. We this
morning give the unanswerable opinion of
Justice Thompson, as fomllows:]
The act of Congress under which the
complainant in this case is required to
enter the army of the United States as a
soldier, for a period of three years or du
ring the war, provides for the enrollment,
' by officers of the United States, or all per
sons liable to do military duty, between
I the ages of 2u and years, and classifies
, them. The names of all persons thus en
rolled, were required to be put into a
wheel, and the requisite number for the
districts, with a surplus of v 0 per cent. for
contingencies. were to be drawn thence,
under the supervision of certain federal
officers. Those thus drawn from the
wheel, if not exempted from disability or
ctherwise,will be compelled to serve for the
period mentioned, or find acceptable
subetitutea, or commute the service by the
payment of $3OO.
Beyond all controversy this is a draft,or
involuntary conscription from the militia
of the State, without any requisition open
State Executives, or upon officers in corn•
niand of the militia in the State, and with
cut any reference to State authorities
• whatever. Is this enactment in accord
some with the federal constitution? The
answer to this question determines the
case, for it is not denied that the complain
ant is within the provisions of the act, and
was drawn as and for a solditto mind. r its
provisions. He must, then fore, nerve, if
the act be constitutional, or seek x-mp
tion under seine nt its provisions.
Our jurisdiction of the case I think is
ptain. We have authority to restrain acts
contrary to law. and prejudicial to the
rights of individuals, atd of 16th June,
1836. lithe act of - Congress of I-id March,
IscA,under and by virtue of wh ch the com
plainant is holden as a soldier,and sought to
be coerced into the service, be not constitu
tional, the custody of his person under
pretence of it. is contrary to law, and pre
judicial to his interests. The injury too,
it the proceedings be illegal, ie undoubt
edle within what is denominated irrepara
ble injury or mischief, and hence the pro
priety of the specific remedy. An action for
damages would perhaps not be sustainable
and -r a recent act or Congress, but if it
should he, it would be against parties who
intended no injury,antl froal whom on ac
count of obeying what they supposed to
ho law, in conauctieg the proceedings
against him, but little could be recovered,
although the soldier may have been carried
to distant places, from his home, and may
have uudergouegreat hardships and vicis
situdes. I dismiss this branch of the case,
with this'short view of it, and with the ad
ditional remark, that if our judgment is
against the constitutionality of the law,
the case can be removed to 11 , federal ju
diclary at Washington, if the authorities
tnere see proper, and be reviewed by the
Court in the last tesnt in such digs,; a
hug which the President of the United
,taies laaa, o❑ a recent occasion, expres

I now proceed to the mate que4tlon.
The constitution of the United .states de
tines and enumerates the t „wers of the
Gel Aral Government, and i i i.e them by
the euiemn declaration that •• the powers
not delegated to the United Srates by the
constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States respec
tively, or to the peltplfe."
The Government established by the
Constitution, is therefore. a limited
Goverment, beyond the limitations
of which, including necessary ir:cidr•nts of
express y granted powers, ail exercise of
authority by Congress is mere usurpation.
T Es 7? 1: ri IL
We should remember this in coi,a•ruing
the Constitution, and we should remem
ber, also, that the entire machinery of
Government, provided by it, was poised
between checks and balances designed not
only to prevent it from transcending its
own orbital limits, but to guard against
aggressions from other sources. l'he
objects to he attained, as declared in the
priiamble must also he kept in view, when
we are celled to expound its provisions ;
and we are bound to couetrue it so as so
preF,, rve and advance them all. The pur
pose, as declared in the preamble. was ••to
form a more perfect Union, establish jus
lice. ensure domestic tranquility, provide
to the common defence, promotethe gen
eral welfare and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
Each of these objects are supposed to be
secured by the Constitution, and no one
f them must be overlooked in a too eager
desire to lend a supposed efficiency to
some other. To do so would endanger
The whole. To "provide for the common
defence . ' is one purpose avowed for estab
fishing the Constitution, and the duty de
volves on Congress to execute it; but it
must not be executed in such a manner as
fo encroach on the ;•aramount purpose of
securing "the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity,' also declared.
rbis is on, instance to show that no legis
lation, roe'rrb construction can be valid or
sound which is not in harmony with every
provision of the Constitution.
In the light of these general and funda
mental principles, we must investigate the
grave questions presented by the bill of
the complainant now before us. And here
I may express. my regrets, that it did not
meet the views of the government officials.

mentaries on the itir,u, sec. 1185,
"present the extrev,rclinary spectacle to
the world of a nation incapacitated by a
constitution of its own choice from prepar
ing for defence before canal invasion."
It was an ordinary power, not superin-
I duced by impending war. "In the mild
season of peace, - says the Federalist
No 2, " with rninde unoccupied by other
subjects they (the tonvention) passed
many months in cool, uninterrupted, and
daily consultation ; and finally, without
having been awed by power, or influen
ced by any passion, except lo,te for their
country, they presented and recommend
ed to the people the plan produced by
their j.int and unanimous councils." Is
there room far a doubt thst under such
circumstances. the mode in whieh the
power to "raise armies" was to be eze•
cuted was thm accustomed one ; namely,
by voluntary enlistments' At the time,
this was the usual made of raising and
recruiting armies in Great Britain, and
the people of this country were better ac
quainted with the laws, customs and even
habits of tht pople of E .!iand than of
those c.f tiny rdher e !I in the world.

try, and to trim iy continu. La a great ex
tent enlistments as by con
tract, was the general method of raising
armies there and with us prior to and
at the time the Constitution was
framed. As this was the customary mode,
every presumption supports the idea that
this was the only mode in the minds of
the framers of the Constitution. In iced, ,
it is a common law rule, that when any•
thing is directed to be done without ape
cull instructions as to how the act is to be
performed, the customary mode of doing
it is supposed to be included in the d:itec
tion. We cannot suppose that at the
ment the country had lib. rty,
at so much cost :0 blood and treasure,
that such a despotism over the her s and
liberties of men would be incorporated
into the Constitution as would authorize
Congress to fill the armies to he raised by
conscription, a= though by the agency of
the press gang. This was no more in the
contemplation of the convention than that
the civi.scleparttnew of the tiovernment
should also be filled by roercivo measures.

less there be some military force with
which to resist it ? .t resources are
there in a community, if all the "able
bodied men" to ty be absorbed in the na
tional forces. It will at once be agreed,
I think, in view of the constitutional pro.
visions cited that the militia, the only
power of the States, must be maintained
in tact and that no system is constitution
al which extinguishes them. Let las in
quire, therefore, whether or not, the act
of Congress of the 3d of March, 1868,
known as the Conscription Act, does not
in fact attempt the complete demolition of
the militia of the States.
'The preamble to the act sets forth the
existence of insurrection and rebellion ;
that a military force is indespensible to
suppress it; that to raise and sspport,
which "all persons ought willingly to con•
tribute." It is therefore enacted, Sec. 1,
"that all able bodied male citizens of the
United States and persons of foreign birth
who shall have declared on oath, their in
tention to become citizens in pursuance of
the laws therof, between the ages o twen
ty and forty five years, except as excepted,
are hereby declared to constitute the Na
tional forces and shall be liable to per
form military duty is the service of
the United States, when called out by the
President for that purpose." Then follow
nnmerous provisions for classifying them,
for the lottery or draft of the required
number in each military district, the clos•
ing up of the wheel until again required,
and the order and term of service, not as
militia men belonging to and officered by
the States, but as parcel of the army of
the United States " raised and support
ed '' under the clause of the Constitution
which provides for raising and supporting
armies, and to be officered by federal au
thority, exclusively.
Every able bodied man in the United
States, between twenty and forty five, is
by these provisions enrolled. and declared
to constitute the national forces. This
covers the entire materiel of the militia in
the Union. All able bodied white men
between twenty one aryl forty five years,
are liable as militia men in this Common
wealth, and it is believed that this is about
or near the standard in most, if not all, the
other States. This act is broader, both as
to age and color. The specified age, how
ever, amounts to nothing, for Congress by
a very slight . x:crision of power in fixing
the standard could just as well have
made it to include ail between the ages of
eighteen and sixty. Let the power be
once established, the right must follow.
and in tins way, every man in public or
private life in a t3tate, between those ages,
mightbe included. No one is exemptun
der the present law but the. Governor.
All oth: r officers, judges, legislators,
repr,sentatives in (~ i ngress, sheriffs. mug.
'strafes. county and township functiona-
ries of every description, if under tory
five, are liable now to be forced into the
army, or to commute by the payment of
$3OO, or to find substitutes. As it is, this
would draw heavily upon the public, and
I.ecessary local otlicera—but if extended
to the ages of eighteen and sixty, as it
could as readily h. , made to do, it might
include all, not excepting even the Gover
nor. Can it be that the machinery of our
g tvernment is so incongruous as to admit

The direet t the act is to consti
tuts- the Natlirc t • r, -s of the same ma
terial as that w ch :••.:IF.titales the militia
of the States, and to that purpose a Fed
eral enre,Pment is - made, and a portion so
enrolled, and drawn from the wheel and
separately and individually transferred to
the army of the United States to be coin
mended not by State, but by United Stales
officers. They are henceforth not
malitia men but regulars. They are
to be carried into the attny under the
power granted to Congress "to raise and
support armies;" not under that other
power which authorizes Congress '• to
provide for calling out the militia to exe
cute the laws. suppress insurrection and
repel invasion If called out in this ca
petite, it would be done by requisition of
the President upon State authorities, at
least, upon State military officers, and then
the militia would come forth in organized
bodies, not as iedividuais, and be officer
ed by State authority. This is widely dif•
fereut tr - m directing the Federal authority
to each individual—to conscript him in
his individual character, and to compel
him to serve not with State contingents
and under State officers, but under Fed
eral -A- army officers.
In short, the provisions of the Act, in
corporates into the Federal armies, the
entire material const s ,ituting the militia, by
directing their authority to them individ
ually, without a requisition on the States,
and without any power in any State to
appoiot a single officer to command them.
although the entire force was, by the Con•
stitution to be, when called into the ser
vice of the United States, under the miii
tary officers of the State, Sucn au Act,
disregarding such plain provisions of the
Constitution, is certainly unconstitutional,
if sash a thing be pesoble. at all, of any
act of Congress. and this view, if correct,
establishes coneltsively the limeation or
the power to raise and support armies.
Those enrolled and no:drawn out of the
wheel at the fire: draft. re main subject to
be caked out afterward. They are the
unemployed national forces, and are de
clar,d to tie sutj ci t , he called into ser
vice under the plan of the act for two
years. after the Ist of July succeeding the
enrollment, to setv , for three years or
during the war. I' is true, when called
into service, the act says they shall be
"placed on the same footing iu all respects
as volunteers, including advance pay and
bounty, as is now provided b 7 law." I
presume it is not meant by this, that the
conscripts are to elect their own officers.
But even if this were so, it would be no
less a deprivation of the right of the States
to appoint the officers of their militia, and
unconetitutional for that reason.
As the , - , .rr.llmerit or c. ,, n- , cription into
the national ;ore,. for tw, years, although
unemployed, is nevertheless as incorper
ation of them with the national tor ces; it
is a withdrawal of them for that period
from the control of the States. The act
would be worth nothing if the States might
resolve that this should not be. Ihe act
of Congress is supreme or it is nothing,
If it be supreme then the enrolled men
can be and are directly under the federal
authority all the time, and thus every cit
izen or enrolled person, in or oat of ser—
vice, may be liable to be controlled by mil
itary law all the time, if Congress chooses.
Can this be possible. What is to become
of the States and their sovereignty• a
matter often sneered at. but among the
most distinct, clear, and cherished prin
ciples in the whole body of the consti
tution. One portion of the militia con
icriptea and actually in the field, the
balance conscripted and not yet in the
field, but subject to the military an.
thonty of the United States, where are
the militia and where is the security of
the States against being entirelfabprbed,
and against invasions of the public liberty
by the mational apthortty t which the wri
telra of the Federalud thought existed in
he uiil;Lu: It is Lie Witt I
a. home, it is abolished.
Apprehensions doubtless, of jest such
an enacament as this now under consider.
ation superinduced the introdoction of the
Bill of Rights by amendment and consent
of two-thirds of the States, in which is the
declaration that, " a well regulated mili
tia being necessary to the security of a
free State, the rights of the people to keep,
and bear arms shalt not be infringed."
I contend that the act of Congress on
der discussi , n, violates this declared
right,by absorbing the militia into the army,
as contra-di •tingu shed from the militia ;
by taking all the material which consti•
totes the militia and calling them out in
dividually without requisition on the
States, and ptacirg them under officers
not chosen by the States,
It disregards the organization of the
militia altogether, not only in providing
others than militia officers, but in its total
disregard of State regula'.ions and ex—
emptions Heads of departments of the
States, judges of the several courts, min
isters of the gospel, professors in colleges,
school directors are exempt by our militia
law. Bat the mode adopted for calling out
the forces of the country, disregarding the
militia system, disregards all these. These
were within the militia, but as the militia
itself i 9 overthrown by the Act in question,
they fall with it. It is possible that this
power may be exercised, and the States
live through it, but althitmg,h they may no
fall, their foundations will be fatally sap
pad, and if the precedent remain, it wil
in time become the authority for their ex
.•
unction.
The Constitution authorizes Congress to
provide for calling out the militia to sap
tress insurrections and repel invasions. '
aring the whisky immrrection in this
State, President Washington called upon
the militia for this purpose, by a requisi
tion on the Governor, and in person corn
mended them. So the militia ware called
out from many of the States dunng the
war wnh Great Britain, and in every in
stance a requisition made by the Presi
dent upon the Governors of the States. It
is true that it, 1814, the question was much
ag,tat.ed is Co _r(-4- wh , tor:r or not, under
the power to "r a - roles,'' the militia
might not • , e conger:pred by the Federal
authority. The bill v-ineti rropcsed this

This remark: 'e equally ayplicable to the

gement a step in favor of those who contend
for the constitutionality of the Conscrip.
lion Act, to point to instances in which
drafts have been made by State antorities.
Militia duty is compulsory in all the States.
they are not prohibited from compelling
it any more than from compelling the
payment of the taxes. It is in this way,
and in this way only. in my opinion, that
the national forces can be compulsorily
raised ; that is to s.,y, by a requisition on
the State autticeitiie for militia men in a
jute proportion to p t.pulatiou.
Why have not the militia been
called out in he present emergency?
They are composed of the men the draft
proposes to furnish. They are to be
geveriftd while in the service, as Con
gress r.hal. be prescribe. They may
be reclaimed f.fr ore, two or three
years. Cr while to.. insurrection
lasts, will and become just as good sol
diers to the on.. cLara,..ti.r as the other.
They are the cousiitutiee.l power for that
purpose, if the army he not sufficient to
effect the object witouut them. Why not
employ them ? here is but one of two
alternatives, says Judge Story, "which
can be rest ri.ed to in ceees of insurrection,
invasion, or violent imposition to the
laws* either to employ regular troops or
to employ the 'toilet's to suppress them."
[Story on:Con. sec. 1201.] Ifit be said that
the militia will he sufficient, which I
deny with equal training, I insist that the
imperfection of the system is no ju.itifica.
Lion for the overthrow in part or in whole,

There is nothing on earth that I so
much desire as to witness the suppression
of this n• iusitfiable and monstrous rebel

tha• I have shown that the

occupied Culpepper, and the main body
of our army was in the vicinity of Brandy
Station.
To day nu: advance has pushed en and
is at the Rapidan. The enemy are on
the south side in their old intrenchments.
on: forces are rapidly moving upon the
different fords of the Rapidan. If any
determined resistance is to be made, it
will probably be made in disputing the
passage of the river. In the meantime, it
is reported that a movement is being
made by another column-in a more south
erly direction, and the reports of Eilpat
rink being in the possession of the heights
back of Fredericksburg, are reiterated.
Furthermore, it is stated that Lee is not
Ninth the forces in front of Meade, but A.
P. Hill and Ewell are in command. Lee
is reported to have gone to Chattanooga.
Prisoners taken make the usual brags
of how Meade will soon be whipped, and
give out mysterious hints as to his being
drawn into a trap. They confirm the re
ported destitution of their army, and
North Carolina troops captured declare
they will not again take up arms.
:-iome North Carolinians and Louisiana
Tigers had a fight in the cars on their way
to town upon this topic; the former bold
ly saying they were heartily sick of the
war, and did not wish to be exchanged,
the latter called them poltroons, and at
length the two parties came to blows.
A private letter from an inmate of the
Libby prison dated October 19th, says—
The Union prisoners receive no meat, it
being impossible for the rebels to procure
it, and who are starving themselves to
supply it
Already another bread plot, of which
the rebel papers make no mention. has
occurred. The real cause of the difficul

the rebel currency.
The farmers have grain and cattle to sell
out not to give away for paper rags, or to
