J.—There are three bills in equity wherein the plaintiffs claim relief against the defendants who, acting under the act of Congress of the 8d of March last, well known as the Con. scription Act, claim to coerce the plain tiffs to enter the army of the United States as drafted soldiers. The claim of the plaintiff is founded on the objection that that act is unconstitutional. The question I is raised by a motion for a preliMinary in , junction, and might have been heard by a, single judge. Bat at the request of our brother Woodward, who allowed thei motion, and on account of the great im portance of'the question, we all agreed to sit together at the argument. But we are very sorry that we are left to consider te subject withocit the aid of an arkum'ent behalf of the Government, the proper 1461 officers of the Government having dermed it their duty not to appear. For want of this assistance I cannot feel such an entire coqviction of the truth of my conclusions as 1 would otherwise have, for I cannot be sure that I have not overlooked some grounds of argument that are of decisive importance. But the decision now to be made is only prelimi nary to the final hearing, and it is to be hoped the views of the law officers of the Government will not then be withheld. Judge Lowrie then referred at length to the impossibility of formirg impartial opinions, and the importance of forming and maintaining moderate views. He continued : On this question we ought to be able to avoid this vice, which is so common in all moral and political reasonings ; for our i appeal.is to the Constitution, a written I standard, adopted by us all, sworn to by many of us. and obligatory on all who ex ercise the rights of citizenship under it, until they can secure its alteration in a regular and peaceable way. By that stan• dard alone can we try this act. Is it au thorized by the Federal Constitution ? That Constitution, adopting our histori cal experience, recognizes two sorts of military land forces—the militia and the army, sometimes called the regular, and sometirtles the standing army—and dele gates to Opitgress power "to raise and sup port arenjete and "to provide for calling Perth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.'_ Bnt though this act of Con gress is intended to provide means for suppressing the rebellion, yet it is appa rent that it is not founded on the power of "calling forth the militia," for those who are drafted under it have not been armed organita sl- • • . It is, raise armies that this act can be founded, and as this power is undisputed, the ques tion is made to turn on the auxiliary pow er to pass "all laws which shall be nec essary and proper" for that purpose. Art. 1,8, 18. It is therefore a question of the mode of exercising the power of raising armies. Is it admissable to call forced recruiting a "necessary and proper . ' mode of exercising this power ? The fact of rebellion would not seem to make it Sc', because the inadeouacy or insufficiency cf the permanent and active forces of the Government for such a case is ex-pre&,iy provided for by the power to call forth the usually dormant force. thei militia ; and that therefore, is the only remedy allowed, at least until it has been fully tried and failed, according to the maximfi, expressio unius eat =halo al terius, and expressum facit cessare taciturn. No other mode can be necessary and pro per so long as a provided mode remains untried • and the force of these maxims is increased by the express provision of the Constitution, that powers not granted are reserved, and none shall be implied from the enumeration of those which are reser. ved. Amendments 9, 10. A granted rem edy for a given case would therefore seem to exclude all ungranted ones. Or, to say the least, the militia not having been called forth, it does not and cannot appear that another mode ie necessary for sup pressing the rebellion. And it seems very obvious that a de parture from the constitutional mode can• nut be considered necessary because of any defect in the organization of the mil itia, tor Congress has always had authority to correct this, and it cannot possibiy fcund new powers in its own neglect of duty. Most of the Presidents have re peatedly called the attention of Congress to this subject, and yet it has never been adequately attended to. Ido not know why it might not have been performed since this rebellion commenced, and yet I do not know that it could. - - . Though, therefore, this Act was passed to provide means for suppressing the re bellion, yet the authority to pass it does not depend on the fact of rebellion, That fact authorizes forced levies of the mili tia under their own State Officers, but not for the Regular Army. But it is not important that Congress may have assigned an insufficient reason for the law. If it may pass such a law for any reason, we must sustain it for that reason. The question then is—may Con• grime, independent of the fact of rebellion or invasion, make forced levies in order to recruit the Regular Army. If it may, it -may do so even when no war exists or threatens, and make this the regular mode of recruiting ; it may disregard all considerations of Age, occu pation, profession and official station ; it may take our Governors, legislators, heads of State departments, Judges, Sher iffs and all inferior officers, and all our clergy and public teachers, and leave the State entirely disorganized ; it may admit no binding rule of equality or proportion for the protection of individuals, State and sections. In all other matters of al lowed forced contribution to the Union, duties, imposts, excises, and direct taxes, and organizing and training the militia, the rule of uniformity, equality or propor tion, is fixed in the Constitution. It could not be so in calling out the militia, because the emergency of rebellion or in vasion does not always allow of this. But tor the recruiting of the army no such reason exists, and yet, contrary to the rule of other cases, if it may be re— cruited by force, we find no regulation or limitation of the exercise of the power, so as to prevent it from being arbitrary a nd partial, and hence we infer that such a mode of raising armies was not thought of and was not granted. If any such mode had been in the intention of the fathers of the Constitution, they would certainly' have subjected it to some rule of eq uality or proportion, and to some re striction in favor of State rights, as they have done in other cases of compulsory contributions to federal.-necessities. We are forbidden by the Constitution from inferring the grant of this power , from it not being en as •renerved ; 'add * , . the rule that 'Nisbet is not granted. is re served, operateeir t the same way, and is equivalent , 'he largest bill of righta. No doub' would be unreasonable to s uppose the •Jongreas would so disregard aOral rights as to take such an advan tage, of this want of regulation of their power as above indicated ; but the fathers of this Cdnatitation did presumathat some such thitigs are possible, and therefore they woditi.have regulated the mode, if such a mode had been intended., It need ed no regialatiiv, if all reernihrwere to be obtained in thleikdinary way, by voluntary ~.enliatments. *l 4 . . 4,.. , Our jealousy o ',", • ;: tisi4ations of dour , [ in ant parties is thr. . •,P 4natural, and has been inherited ." 1 . many generations of experience of cadalier and roundhead, court and country, whig and tory parties, each. using unconstitutional means of en forcing the measures which they deemed esaential or important for the public wel are, or of securing their own power ; and tli ff rathers of the Constitution had ex p_ panned such usurpations from the very *ginning of the reign of George 111, and re not at all inclined to grant power hich, for want of regulation, might pos sibly become merely arbitrary. They had 441 had no experience of forced levies for the regular army, except by the States them: selves ' and it seams to me they did not intend to grant such a power to the Feder al Government. Besides this, the Constitution does not authorize forced levies of the militia forces of the States an its organized form, in cases of rebellion and invasion, and, on the principles that a remedy expressly provided for a given case, excludes all im• plied ones, ii is fair to infer that it does not authorize forced levies in any other case or mode. The mode of increasing the military force for the auppression of rebellion being given in the Constitution, every othe m - .,de would seem to be ex • eluded. But evqn if it b admitted that the reg ular army may be recruited by forced levies, it does not seem to me that the constitutionality of this act is decided. The question would then take the narrower form. Is this mode of coercion cotistitu• tional ? ft seems to me that it is so 'essentially incompatible with the provision's of the Constitution relative to the militia that it cannot be. On this sul - ject, as on all others, all powers not delegated are re served. This power is not expressly dela. gated, and cannot be impliedly so, if com patible with any reserved or granted pow. ere. This is not only the express rule of the Constitution, but it is necessarily so ; for we can know the extent to which State functions were abated by the Federal Con stamina only by theexpress or necessarily implied terms of the law or compact in which the abaterhent is provided for. And this is the rale in regard to the com• mon law; iL is changed by statute only so far as the expression orthe statute requires it to be. Now, the mi %tie was a State inetitti tion before the .. . . r • to organization ansd training according t one uniform Fed dial law, and to be called forth to suppress.insur'rection and repel invasions, whenirthe aid of the Federal Government is heeded, and it needs this torca. For this purpose it is a Federal force ; for all others it is a State force, and it is called in the Constitution "the militia of the several States," 2,2, 1. It is therefore the standing force of the States, as well as, in certain specified respects,the standing force of the Union. And the right of the States to have it, is not only not granted away, but it is expressly reserved, and its whole history shows its purpose to be to secure domestic tranquil ity, suppress insurrections and repel in— vasionti. Neither the State nor the Union have any other militia than this. Now, it seems to me plain that the Fed eral Government has no express and can have no implied power to institute any na tional force that is inconsistent with this. This force shall continue, says the Conti• tation. and the Federal Government shall make laws to organize and train it as it thinks best, and shall have the use of it when needed ; this seems 'reasonable and sufficient ; is the force provided for in this act inconsistent with it ? It seems to me it is. ' By it all men be tween the ages of twenty and forty-five are "declared to constitute the national forces," and made liable to military duty, and this is ao nearly the class which is usually understood to constitute the mili tary torte of the States that we may say that this Act covers the whole ground of the militia and exhausts it entirely. It is in fact, in all its features, a militia, for national,' instead of State purposes, though claiming justification, only under the power to raise armies, and acciden tally under the fact of the rebellion. In England this can be done, because, the State being a unit there, there can be no place for the distinction between State and Federal powers, and the army and militia forces become naturally con founded. It seems to me this is an unauthorized Isubstitute for the militia of the States. If I valid, it completely annuls, for the time being, the remedy for insurrection provb ded by the Constitution, and substitutes a new and unprovided one. Or rather it takes that very State force, strips it of its officers, despoils it of its organization, and reconstructs its elements under a dif ferent authority, though under somewhat 1 similar forms. If this act is law, it is su preme law, and the States can have no militia out of the class usually called to militia duty ; for the wholeplass is aPPro priated as a national force under this law, and.uo State can make any law that is in • consistent with it. The State militia is wiped out, if this act is valid, except so far as it may be permitted by the Federal Government. If - Congrcss may thus, under its power to raise armies, oonstit ute the State militia men into "national forces" as part of the regular army, and make them "liable to perform duty in the service of the United States when called out by the President." I cannot see that it may not require from. them all a con stant military training ander Federal offi• cows as a preparation for the greatest effi ciency when they shall be so called out, and then all the State m i li tia and civil officers may be pat into the ranks and sub jected to the command of such officers as the President may appoint, and every one would then see that the constitutional State militia becomes a mere name. The Constitution makes it, and the men in it a national force in a given contingency, and in a prescribed form, but this act makes them so irrespective of the coneti• tutional form ar.cl contingency. This is the substantial fact, and las not able g o refine it. And it seems to me that this act is an constitutional, because it plainly violates the State systems in this, that it incorpo rates into this new national force, every State civil °Ewer, except the Governor, and this exception might have been omit tad, and every officer of all our social in.
