The Act. di vides the country into military districts, corresponding with the congressional'dis ‘ tricls. provides for provost marslmls and , enrolling boards, and regulates the details of such drafts as‘ the President shall order , to be made from the national torces so en rolled. The payment of $3OO excuseumy drafted person, so thnt it'is. in ellect,‘ low providing for a compulsory draft “or con scription of such persons as are unwilling ‘ or unable to purchase exemption at the stipulated price. his the first instance, in our hitory. of legislation, forcing a great , public burthen on the poor. OurAState legislation which exem t 5 men who are not ‘ worth more than $3OB. from paying their ; own debts, is in striking contrast with this 1 «inscription law, whiclrdevolxelupon such ‘ men the burthenv which belongs to the whole “ national forces.” and to which “all persons ought willingly to contributor—- -This, however.‘is an ohjection to the spirit of the enactment rather than to its consti tutionality. _ ~ The description of persons to be enroll ed, able bodied citizens between twenty and forty-five years at age. is substantially the description of the militia as defined in our Pennsylvania statutes and probably in the statutes of all‘thc States. The notion al forces, then. mean the militia. of the Saucy—certainly inc'ude the militia of Pennsylvania. This expression. “national forces,” is modern language, when so ap plied. It is not found in our constitutions. either State or Federal, and if used in com mentaries on the constitution, and in his~ ‘ tory. it will generally be found applied to \our land and naval forces, in actual service ‘—to what may be called our standing army. o ' _“’“""“"‘————' a ‘ ‘ _— GETTYSBURG,‘ PA-, MONDAY, 33130.7, 186§\ “16. Congress shall have power. to pro vide for the calling forth the militia to ex eoute the laws'ol' the UniOn,‘to suppress insurrgggious and repel invasions. i I‘l3. Congress shall have Bower to pro: vide for organizing, arming an disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed'inthe service of the United Stateckeserving to the States respectively. the! appointment of the offi cers, and the authority ‘of training the mi litia 'nocording to' the discipline prescribed by Congress. ' ‘ . ”To raise armies ”—theee are lnrgewords, what 0 they-mean? There could be no limi n upon the number or size of the armi be fileednfnr all possible contin gencies could not be foreseen. but our ques~ tion has not reference to numbers or size but to the mule of raising ‘anni‘es. The framers of the Constitution. and the States who adopted it, derived their ideas of gov ernment principally from the example of Great Britain—certainly not from any or the more imperial and despotic govern ments of the earth. What they meant to make want more free Comtithtion‘ than that ol Great Britain—taking that, as a model of some things—but enlarging the basis of popular rights in all respects that would be consistent yith order and stabili ty. They knew that the British army had generally been recruited by voluntary en listments, stimulated by wage; and boun. ties, and that-the few instances of impress~ ment and forced (inscriptions of land forces. had met mirth the disfavor of the English nation and had led to pruentive statues. In 1704 and sgnin in 1707 con scription bills were attempted in Parlia ment but laid aside as unconstitutional.— During the American revolution a statute, 19 Geo. 111 C. 10. permitting the impress ment of “idle In; disorderly persons not: following soy law ul trade, or hqving some “um: I: Inca" mp wxu.

Aesuroclly the framera ofour l Coh~titution did not intend to subject the people of the State»; to a svxtem of conscrip ‘tioh. which WM applied in th'e mother ‘ roéntry only to pauper-i and vngnlmnrla.— ‘ (,hi tho'contrnrv l infer. that the power ‘ conferretl’on Congreaa was the power to mi<e armies by the ordinary English modé of voluntary enlictments. The people were ju<tly jcaloua of stand in: armies. Hence they leuk‘ away most 'ot‘.the war ‘pmver fronir the Executive, where, under monarchiml forms it general ‘v resides, and vested it in the legixlative department, in one branch- of which the States have equal representation. aml‘in. the other branch of which the people of the States are directly represented accor ding to their numbers. To these repre sentatives ol‘ the States and the maple. this power of originating war was committed, 'but even in their hands it was restrained by the limitation oi: bienni l appropriations for the support of the/arlihieu they might raise“ of course. no army could be inised or supported which dill nct command pon ularapprohntion. and it we: rightly consid ered that voluntary enlistmeuts would never ,be wanting to recruit the ranks of such'an army.

They would be ready e'uouglt to recruit the ranks of any army they deemed necessary to ‘ their safety. Thus the theory-0t? the con } stitution placed this great power. like all other governmental powers. directly upon the cement of the governed. The theory itselfiwas founded on free and. fair Elections—which are' the fund» mental pastulale of the constitution” If the trunnge and power of the government ‘ shallfiiver be employed to control popular electionr, the nominal representatives of l the people mnv cease to be their real repre sentatives, and,then the armies which may be raised may not so command public con-. finlence as to attract the necessary recruits. and then conscript laws and other extra constitutional expetlients may become unnecessary. to fill 'the ranks. But govern ‘ mental Intorlerence with popular elections will be subversion of the constitution, and 'no constitutional argument can assume such a possibility. ‘ Supposing then that the people are al ways to be fairly represented in the hulls of Congteugl maintain that it issgrievouq ‘injustica thhem to legislate on the as waumption that any war honestly waged for obnstitutional objects will not always have l such sympathy and' support from the .people as will secure all 'the nececsary enlistments. Equally union. to their in‘ ;telligenca is it to suppose that they meant to confer on. their servants the power to impress them into awarwhich they, could not apglrove. : hen to these considerations we add the obility of a great country, like ours. to stimulate and reward enlistments, both at helps and abroad, by bounties, pensions, an! homesteada. at: well as by political patronage in‘countleas forms, we see how little necetsitly or warrfint there is for im plying I grant of the lmperinl power of conscription. ‘ rma 'l9s, are tin’n. and § to obliter- In “nationhl ‘ There is nothing in the history of th; lconslimtipn nor in those excellent contem poraneous papers, called the Federaliu /’ to justify the opinion film: this vast Pzwer ’lies wrapped up in A few plain words/of the {l3th clause, whilst. the subsequent clauses, :cnncernxng»lhe militia, ebsoluzely forbid n.
