OPINION OF LOWRIE, C. 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
