'The- 4 'of the C Mt tut' of
Ways and Means, assenting toenost of the
reasons and to the conclusions presented
in the report of the majority against the
prayer of the memorialists, asking the
Federal Government to issue $200,000,-
000 of public stock in aid of the debts of
the State, would also urgir, in addition,
(without pretending to go into anything
like a full developMent of their reasons,)
that they deem the exercise of such a pow
er, on the part of the General Government,
unauthorized by the Constitution.
The minority have always been induced
te believe that the Federal Constitution was
a compact to which the States acceded,
and became parties; and that the powers
of the Government accrued from that
compact, and were defined in it. Before
Congress is authorized to act upon any
subject•matter, it must first be such a sub
roe ever which power is specially granted
in that instrument, or clearly to be inferred
as absolutely necessary to carry out sotne
granted power. They can see no positive
grant of po t.er to Congress to authorize
them to do what the memorialists desire.
To assume such a debt, arid to create
such a stock, binding upon posterity, is a
very high exercise of sovereign power,
and is, ir. its-11, independent and substan
tive, and cannot be inferred as incidental
to a grant over inferior subjects.
There is a clause in the Constitution
which declares that 'Congress shall have
power to lay and collect taxes, duties im• l
posts, and excises, arid protide fur com e
mon defence, and genet al welfare of the
Uflited States.' (Sec. 5 ) This poWer
was net given to pay the debts of the
ailed Slates.' These words define the
confederacy or States as a whole, and as
contradistiuguished from the separate and
independent States. To assume that this
power was given to authorize the Governs
merit to pay the debts of the sepal tee
Settee, contracted solely for their benefit
rind for their local purposes, in to allow
the different States to contract debts, and,
through the Federal Government, to bind
others to pay them; which would make
this Government subservient to local inter
earsand to State authority, and absorb
'the general welfare of the United States.'
If this should be the established principle
of the Government, it would be directly
reimreating each State into a e ild car, et
of reckless speculation, which would ire.
evitably end in their separate existence,
or in a consolidated despotism, where even
their be .ndaries would he forgotten, amid
the universal despair that would Mew the
overthrow of consetetiered lieerty.
The terms 'general welfat e,' in the
C‘nistitwier e were designed as a mere de
claration of extreme centime and the true
intent and meaning of those whir used
them wa-e that they should be a limitation
to the apparently absolute arid uncentroll.
ed peeer given 111 the same clause—'to lay
scud culler; taxes,' 'te pay We debts,' & c .
It way irtlei (led that this power should
net be used wantonly or tiejusdy; but that

er of this Government
It is a proposition to tax posterity, not
for the existence and independence of the
confederacy, but for put poses unknown to
the Constitution, and at war with those
principles of liberty whiiili secure to a
free people the practical right to tax them
selves alone, and to be prote - ted from the
lawless profligacy of ihose who ii,ay have
assumed to bind them in all future time.
In all civilized countries, the line which
limits the p wer of Government as to tax
ation, is the line that defines enlighted lib
erty. There are some of the States that I
owe nothing, and many but little; and to
compel them to become jointly liable, by
the action of the Federal Government, for
the debts of the other States, would be an
act of such gross injustice to them, that it
would create feelings hristile to the perma
nency of the Union. The strength of our
Union consists in the Government acting
with wise forbearance upon subjects of
doubtful import—in doing exact justice to
all the parties—in imposing equal burdints
—and mildly shedding arauad equal bles.
