PERSONAL LIBERTY LAWS
ThO Southern Disunionists, who declared at
first, that the election of a Republican' candi
date, to the Presidency, was just cause for
SecoSsion, have become convinced of their own,
absurdity, and now base their actibn upon
(ho existence of Personal Liberty laws in the
free States, intended, as they allege, to pre
vent the operation of the Fugitive Slave law.
However applicable this charge may he to some
of the free States, we arc satisfied that Penn
sylvania has no right to be included in this
category.
There is no personal liberty law in Pennsyl
vania. In-1847, under the administration of
Gov. Shank,. the Legishiture of Pennsylvania,
passed a law to prevent kidnapping in this
State. This law was baied ou the decision of
the• Supreme Court of the United States, which,
declared, that the business of legislating for
the recapture offugitivo slaves, belonged to
Co*ngress, and not to the States, amid that State
°tricots could have no duties imposed on them
by Untied * States laws.
This law, after providing sufficient penal
ties for any attempt to kidnap free perBons; with
a design to reduce them .to slavery, contained
two other provisions—one' prflhititing State,
officers frOm serving as such, in tho - eapture
f slaves, and'the other,: prohibiting the use
of the jails, for securing fugitive slaves after
,their capture. This , hist provision, was com
plained of by the Seed', and was repealed in
3862, and during the last ses,sion of the Legis
lature the other provisions of the law of 1047,
wore incorporated into the revised Penal Cbde.
This Code was revised by three distinguished_
democrats of this Stitte--, * Judge Knox, Judge
King_and David Webstbr=and was approved
by Gov. Packer, and every democrat
Legislature, '
By the enactment of the revised Penal Code.
Sections Ist, 4th, and 6th, of.the
of 1847, were r6pealed, and that which re
mains, on the etattte book, is not in conflict
with the Fugitive Slave Law, nor intended to
obstruct its operation. •
MOYeMKNTS OF U. S. TitoVies.—A large
number of U.S. soldiers are about to Bail from

tract,from the correspondent of the St. Louis
Dimoorat may account for the origin of many
of the moat startling of the rumors from Kansas.
The, correspondent, writing from the " seat of
war," says
Two hundred United Stales troops were mis
taken •on Wednesday last for Montgomery's
men, and at the eight of them, all the farmers
ran away and deserted their II tom vt. They salmi'
found out their mistake, however, and returned
to their farms.
One men with a tea m of fouy horses saw a
'foraging party of the 'United States troops,
numbering: thirty men. His alarm was so •
sudden and great that ho out one of his liOrties
out of his team and broke for the settlemeuk_
like Tam O'Shauter with the witches after him,
bearingthe news that the robbers were oomiqy.
In an hour.or two the troops quietly rode in
with the remaining horses of the team; and •
the poor faiMer trak terribly ridiculed for his
fright.

U. Sn SENATOR..
The question of the United States Senator
ship is already exciting discussion among the
politicians; and many of the Sopa!Haan pa
pers of Western Pennsylvania have suggested
the nein°. of Hon. Jowl H. Watamt, of Erie
county, for that high station. They urge„
alvo, that in justice and usage the - West is at
the present time entitled to the Senator.
' I IMr. WALSER is a gentleman of fiqtrabilities,
of great legislative experience,' and MS . moral
`,sad political character are without blemish.
As Speaker of the Senate of this State, ho ae
'• quitted himselfin an admirable manner. The
West Is certainly entitled to the Senatorship,
ss the heavy majorities she rolled up for Con-
SIN and LINOOLN contributed much to our re-'
cent victory, and her claims should be neither
.overlooked nor postponed. The election of Mr.
W. would be a just appreciation. of the services

'PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE,
Fear) Ciikena of the Senate
and louse of Reprdentatives:
-Throughout the year since our last meeting,
the cot nry has butepminently'p'respereus in
snits terial interests. The general - health
has beep -excellent, our harvests have been
; abundant. and plenty' smiles throughout the
-land.
,Our commerce and manufactures - have
been prosecuted ,with energy and industry,
and have yielded fair and ample returns. In
short, no nation in the tide of time has ever
presented a spectacle of greater material pros
periti than we have done until within a very
.recent period.
Why,is.it, then, that discontent now so ox.
lensivelyMrevails;and the• Union of the States,
which is-theaonree of all these blessings, id
threatened with •destruction? The long con
tinued and intemperate itfferferetme of. the
Northern,Veople with the question .ok slavery
'in the Southern Stet cellos at length 'produc l ed
its natural effects, The different sections of
the UtSion are now arrayed egainef each oilier
and the time has arrived, so tuna dreaded by
the Father of his Country; when hostile geo
gni:ldeal -parties have been formed. I have
long foreseen and often forewarned my coun
trymen of the now impending danger. • This
does not proceed solely from the Maim on the
part of Congress orthe territorial legislature to
exclude slavery from the Territories, nor from
the' efforts of different States to defeat thb ex
ecution of the fugitive -slave law. All or any
of these evils might have been, endured'by the
South without danger to the Union; (as,others
have been,) in the hope that. thne and reflec
tion might, apply-the remedy. The immediate
peril arises not so much froM these causes as
from the fact that the incessant and violent
agitation of the slaier'y question' (hr . :Mgt:out
the North for the' last quarter of a century,
has at length produced its malign influence en
the slaves. 'and inspired them with vague-no
tions of freedom. -
' Hence n sense of security nolonger exists 1
. around the family altar. Thisfeeling of-peace I
at home.has given .place to apprehensions of
servile ilOillEl COHOLI. Many.a Matron through
out the South retires at nighbin dread of what
nosy befall lierserfmnd her children-before the
morning. Should this apprehension of do
mestic danger, whether real or imaginary, &-
teed and intensify itself until it shall p,revade
the masses 'of the Southern people, thou dis
union will become . inevitable. Self preserva
tion is the first law of nature, and has been
implanted in the-trout of man by his Creator
for the wisest purpose; and no political union,
however' fraught with blessings and benefits
in all other respects, can long continue, if the
necessary consequence be is render the homes
and firesides of nearly half the parties to it
habitually and hopelessly insecure. Sooner
or later the bonds of such it Union must be
severed. It is my conviction that 'lids . fatal
period has not 3.6 t arrived; and my prayer to
God is that Ile would preserve the Constitu
tion and the Union throughout all generations.
. But let us take warning in time, and remade
the cause of danger. It cannot be denied that,
for five and twenty years, the agitation at the
North i against slavery in the South has been
incessant. 1n'1835 pictorial handbills, and
inflammatory appeals, were circulated mtten
sively throughout the South, of a character to
excite am passions of the'slaves; and, in the
language of General Jackson, '• to stimulate
time to insurrection,.and produce all the hor
rors of a servile war.", This agitation has
ever since been continued by the public press,
by the proceedings of-State and county con
vtntions, and by abolition sermons, and lec
tures,—The time of Congress has beet: occu
pied in violent speeches on this neVer•ending -
subject; and'appeals in pamphlet and other
forms, endorsed by distinguished 00010 E, have
been sent ftirth from this central point, and
spread broadcast over the Union.
Hots easy wodld it lie for the American
people to settle the slavery question forever,
and to restore peace and harmony to this dis
tracted country.
They, and they alone, condo it. . All that
is necessary to accomplish the object, and all
for 'which the slave States have ever contended,
is to let alone, and permitted to manage their
domestiß institutions iti their owts way. As
sovereign States, they, and they alone, are
responsible before God and the world for the
slavery existing nmong- them. For this, the
people of i he-North are not more responsible,
and have no More right to interfere, than with
similar institutions in Russia or in Brazil.
Upon their good sense and pin riotic forbear
ance I confess I still greatly rely. Without
their aid, it is beyond the power.of any Presi
dent, no matter what may be hie-own political
proclivities, to restore peace and harmony
among the e States. Wisely limit ed '. and re
strained as is Ids power, under our..Constitu
lion and laws, he alone can accomplish but
little, for good or for evil, on such a momen
tous question.
• And this brings me to observe that the elec
tion (tinny one of our fellow-citizens to the
office of President does nat of itself afford just
clime for dissolving the Union. This is more
especially true if his election-hoe been effected
by a mere plUrality, and not ri majority, of
the peoble, Mutbas 'resulted froM .transient;
and temporary causes, which may probably
nevenagain occur. In ordeeto justify a re
sort to revolutionary resisionce, the Federal
Government must be guilty of -!:•a . delibenite,
palpable ntul dangerous exercise" of powers
not granted by the Constitution. The late
Presidential election, however, has been held
in strict Conformity with its express provisions.
How, then, can the result justify a revolution.
to destroy this very Constitution? 'Reason,
justice, a regard for the constitution, all re
quire that we shall wait fur Some overt_ and
dangerous act i on the,..part of the President
elect before resortingTo'such a remedy.
It is said, hotvovor, that the antecedents of
the President elect have been sufficient to jus
tify, the fears of the South that he will attempt
to invade theironstitutional rights: But are
such - .apprehefisions of contingent danger in
the future, sufficient to justify the immediate
destruction of the noblest system of .govern
meta ever devised by mortals? Front the v . try
nature of hie office, and its high responsiii
ties, he must necessarily be conservative. The
stern duty of administering the vast and com
plicated concerns of this Government affords
in itself a guarantee that he will not attempt
any violation of a clehr constitutional right.
—After all, he is no more than the chief exe
cutive officer of the Government. Allis prov
ince is not to make, but to execute, the laws;
' 4ld it is a remarkable fact . , -in our history,
that, notwithstanding the repeated efforts of
_the anti-slavery party, 'no single act bits ever .
passed Congress, unless we may possibly ex
cept the Missouri Compromise, itnpairiug, in
the slightest degree, the rights of the South
to their property in slaves. And it may also
be observed, judging front present indications,
that no probability exists of ,the passage of
• such an act, by a majority of- both Houses,
either in (lie present or the next Congress.
Surelyijieffier these circumstances, 'we ought
to be restrained from present action by the
precept of Him who spyte as never man
spoke, that "sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof." The :daY'• of evil may never
come, unless wo shall rashly bring it upon
ourselves. .
• It is alleged as one cause for immediate
emiesssion that the Southern States are denied
equal rights with the other States in the com
mon Territories. But by what autliority, s are
these denied? •Not by Congress,• which has
{Mier passed, and I believe never will pass,
any not to exclude slavery from these Terri
tories; and certainly not by the Supreme
Court, which has solemnly decided that slaves
are , property, and, like all other property,
their owners have u right to take them into
the common• Territories, and hold them there,
under the protection of the 'Constitution. '
So far, then, as Congress is concerned, the
objection is not to anything they have already
done, but to what they may do hereafter. It
will surely be admitted that this apprehension.
of future danger is no, good reason for an im
mediate' dissolution of the Union. It is truer
that the territorial legislature of Kansas, on
the 28d of February, 1860, passed in greht
haste au act, over the veto dill() Governor,
declaring that slavery "ip,'and BUB be; for
ever prohibited in this Territory."' hSticill an
act, however, plainly violating the rights of
property secured by the Constitution; will
'surely bo declared void by the judiciary when
ever it shall be presented in a legal form.
• Only three days after my inauguration the
Supreme Court of the United States solemnly
adjudged that this power did not exiet in a ter
ritorial
legislature. Yet such has been the
factious temper of the tunes that the correct
ness of thii . deolaion hairbeen extensively im
pagned - before the 'people, and the question
has given riso to angry political conflicts
throughout the country. • Those who haie ap
pealed front this judgement of our highest con
stitittionaltribunaltopopular assemblien,would
.
if they could; invest
. a territorial legislature
with power to annul the sacred rights of prop
erly; This power Congress is expressly for
bidden by . the Federal Constitution to exercise.
Every State lagislature in the Union is forbid
den by its own constitution to exercise it. It
cannot be exercised in any State except by the
people in their highestsovereign capacity when
framing or amending their Stale constitution.
•In like manner, it can only be exercised by
the people of a Territory represented in a con
vention of delegates for the purpose of framing
a constitution preparatory -te admission as-a
State into the Union. Then ti
nui. hot until
them.are they invested with power to decide
the question Whether slavery shall or 'Atilt
not exist within their limits. This is an act
of sovereign anthority, and not of subordinate
territ Oriel - legislation. Werit, otherwise, then
indeed vtiinlti the equality of - the Stateo"in the
Territories be destroyed, and the rights of
properly in slaves Would depend, not , upon
stint guarantees of the Constitution, but upon
the shifting majorities-of an irresponsible ter
ritorial legislature. S4h a doctrine, from its
intrinsic unsoundness, cannot long influence
any considerable portion of our people, much
less can it afford a good rearm for a' dissolu-
Him of the Union-, -I
The most palpable violations of constilution•
al duty which have yet beericommitted consists
in the acts of different State legislatures to
defeat the execution of the fugitive•slave law:
It ought to be remembered, however•that for
these acts,moither Congress nor any I'resitient
can justly be held responsible. Having been
,passed in violtifionOf the Federal Constitution,
they arellierefore null apd void. All the courts,
both state and national, before whont the ques
tion has arisen, have from the beginning de
clared the fugitive slave law to he constitution
al. .. 'lle single exception is that of the',Stato
court in 'IS isconsin ; and this has not only
been reserved by the pseper appellate tribunal,
but-has met with Buell universal reprobation
tlmt t hre can be no danger from it as a pre
cedent The validity of this' law has been
t.
establ . ..lied overall(' over nlmin by the Supreme
Cadre of the United Slates with perfect unan
imity. It is founded upon an-express provision
of the Censtiution, requiring that fugitive
slaves who escape from service in one State to
another shall be ~d elivered up " to, their
masters. Without this proycition it iv a well
known historical -fact that the Constitution
itself could never have heen'adopted by the
Convention. In one form or other under the
acts of 1793 and 1850, both being substantially
the same, the fugitive slave law has been the
law of the land from the days of Washington
until the present moment. Here them a clear
case is presented, in which it will be the duty
of the next Presidentous it has been my own,
to act. with vigor in executing this supreme
law against conflicting enactments of State
legislatures. Should lie fail in the performance
of tide high duty, he will then have manifetited
a disregard of the Constitution and laws, to the
great injury of the people of nearly one-half of
the States of the Union. ]tut are we to pre
sume in aftvance that he will-thus violate his
duty ? This would be at mir with every prim
, ciple of justice anti of Christian charity. Let
'us wait for the overt act. The fugitive-slave
law has been carried into execution in . every
contested case since the commencenient of the
present administration ; often it: is to be re-
gretted, with drearloss and inconvenience to
the Master, and with considerable expense to'
the Government. Let us trust. that Ihe Sllll6
legislatures will repeal their lIIICODSi it tit ionnl ,
and obnoxious enactments. Unless this shall
be done without delay, it is impassible for any
human •pOwer to save the Union.
The Southern States, standing on the basis
of the Constitution, have w - right to demand
this act of justice from the States of the Nti'rt h.
Should it be refused, then the Constitution, to
which - all the States are parties, will have been
willfully violated by one portion of them, in a
provision essential to - the domestic 'security
and happiness of the remainder. In that. event,
'the injured States, after having first used all
peaceful and constitutional means to obtain
redres, would be justified in revolutionary re
sistance to the Government of the Union. •
_ I have purposely confined my reinarks to
revolutionary resistance, because it has been
claimed within the Just few years that any
State, whenever this shall be its sovereign
will and pleasure, may :secede from the Union,
in accordance with the Constitution, and with
out any violation of the Constitutienal rights
of thp .t ether members of the' Confederacy.- . -
That - as each become.parties to the Union by
the rotiNf its own people assembled in coif
vention, so any one of them may retire from
the Union in a similar manner by the vote of
such a convention. .
In order to justify secession as a constitu
tional remedy, it must be on the principle that
the Federal Government , is a mere voluntary
assOciation.of States, to be dissolved at pleas
ure by any one of the contracting parties. If
this be so, the Confederacy is IL rope of 'sand,
to be penetrated and dissolved by the first
adverse wave of public.opinion in any of the
States.- In this manner our I hirty-two,States
may resolve themselveti - into as many petty,
erring and hostile republics, each one retiring
from the , ,Uniou, without respotisibility, when
ever any sudden eieitement migltt impel them
to such a course. By this process a Union
might be entirely broken into fyngtoelits in a
few weeks, which cost our forefathers many
years of toil, ingestion and blood to establish.
Such a principle is wholly inconsistent with
the history as well as the 'character of the
Federal Constitution. After it was (rained,
with the greatest deliberation and mire, it was
submitted tb• - •"ednventions of the people of lii
several States for ratification. Its provisiond
were discussed at length in these bodies, com
posed•of the first men of the. country. Its
opponents contended that it conferred powers
upcn the Federal Government danit'brous to
the rights of the States, NOtihst its advocates
maintained that tinder "k.-fair construction of
Oho instrument there was no foundation for
such apprehensions. In that mighty struggle
between the first intellects of this or any other.
country, it never occurred.to any individual,
either among its oppmfents or advocates, to
Assert, or even• intimate, that. A heit7 — efforts
were.alliTtrin labor. beeline° the moment/any
State felt herself aggrieved sholnight secede:
from the Union. What a crushing argument
would this have proved against those who
dreg:tied that the rights of the State woultrbe
endangered by the 'Constitution. The truth
is, that it' as not until many years after, the
origin of time Federal Government that such a
proposition was first advanced It was then
met and refuted by the conclusive arguments
of General Jackson, who in his message of 161 Ir
January, 1833, transmitting the nullifyiAg
ordinance of. South Carolina to Congress, em
ploye the following language :_"The -right
of 'the people of a single State to absolve them
selves at will, and without the consent of the
other States, from their most solemn obliga
tions, and hazard the liberty and happiness
of the millions composing this Union cannot
be acknowledged. Such authority is believed
to be utterly'repugnant both to the principles
upon which the General Government 'is
.con
-80110.0(1 and to (he objects which it was ex
pressly fdrmed to attain." •
It was not pretended that any clause in the
Constitution gives countenance to such a theory.
It is altogether folindecl upon inference, not
from any language contained in the instrument
itself, but from the sovereign character of
several States by which it was ratified. But
is it beyond the power of a State, like an in
dividual, to yield a portion, of its sovereign
rights to secure the remainder? In the lan
gunge of Mr. Madison, who has been callell
the father of the Constitution: "It was formed
by the States—that is the people in each of
the States, acting in their highest sovereign,
onpadity ; and formed consequently by the
samq autority which formed the State Con
stitutions."
"Nor is titeGovernment of the United States,
created by the Constitution, lees a Government
in the strict sense of die term, within the
sphere of its powers, tha'n• the .governments
created by the constitutions of the States are;
within their several spheres. lye, like them,
'organized into legislative, executive, and ju
diciary departments. It operates, like' them.
directly on portions and things; and, like them,
it lids at command's physical force for exeau-
ting the powers committed to it."
It was intended to be perpetual, and not
to he annulled at the•pleasure of ony one of
the awracting.parties... The. old , l 'artieles of
confederation-were entitled " Articles of.Con
federatiou and'Perpetual Union between the
States ;" and by the 18th article it is expressly,
'declared that the articles of , this Confedera..
lion shall be inviolably observed by every
State, and the Union shalt be perpetual." The
preamble to the Constitution of lila United
States, having express reference to the articles
of Confederation, recites that it Was establish
ed-e in order to form a more perfect union."
And yet it is conteuiled that this "morn per
feet union" does not include the; essential at
tribute of perpetuity.
••• But i hitt the Union was destg . ind to be per=
petual appears concloslgely from ilif tutor°
and extent
,t 4 the powers ednfeerwilt i by'the
constittitioti -on the Federal Government.—
These powims embrace the very highest attri
butes of national sovereignty. They place
.both the sword and purse under its Mitnniand.
G r ongress hits power to make war, acid to make
• peace, to mit., and support armies and navies,
and to Oimalude treaties with,,foreign govern
ments •—lt. is invested with the power to coin
money, and to regulate the value thereof, and
to regtilate. commereo 'wieli foreign nations,
and•Junong the several States.' It is not-nec

Gvertiment. In order to carry the enumera
ted powers hill, fired; gongress possesses the
exclusive light 1..t1i lay,And collect duties on
,imports, and in common With the States To lay
'and collect all other taxes. .
But the Constitution has not only conferred
these high powers upon Congress, but it hasa
tioptetJeffectual means to restrain the States
from iqerferiiig with-their exercise. For that
. purpose it has, in strong prohibitory language,
eipressively declared that "no State shill en
ter into any litaty, alliance or
. confederation;
grant. letters of marque and' reprisal ; coin
money; emit bills of credit; tnake. anything
lint 'gold and Silver'coin a tender in payment.
, of.debts ; pass any bill of attainder, cx. post

contracts." .Aloreover ' , without the consent
of Congress, no State shall lay any imposts or
ditties on any imports, except what .may be
absolutely necessary for executing its inspec-
Vionlaws ;" and, if they exceed this amount,
the excess shall belong to the United States.
And "no Stale shall, without the consent of
Congress, lay• any duty of .tonnage ; keep
troopi or ships of war, in LIMO of peace; enter
into any agreement or compact with another
State, or with a - foreign power; or engage lb
war. unless actually invaded, or in such im
minent danger as will
,not admit of delay,"
• In order still furt het. to_ secure ilia utiinter•
rupied exercise of these high powers against.
Saute interpositien, it is provided "that this
Constitution and the laws of the United Sikes
which shall bb made in pursuance thereof';
' and.all treaties made, or.which shall be made,
under the authority of the, United Slat es,sliall
be .the suprethe law of the It • and Ake '
judges in every State shall be-hi , reby,
anything in
„the constitution or la any
State to the contrary notwithstanding." .
The solemn 'sanction of religion has been
. shperodded to the obligations of official duty,
and. all senntors and representatives of the
United States, till members• of State Legisla
tures, and all executive and judicial officers,
"both of the United States, and of the riiveral
States, shall be bound by oath or affirmation
to support this Constitution,"
In order to carry'into effect these powers,
the Constitution has established a perfect gov
ernment in rill its forms, Legislative, Execu
tive and Judicial; and this Government, to
the extent of its powers, acts directly upon
the individual citizen of every State, and ex
ecutes its own decrees by the agency of its
own offices.
In this respect it differs entirely from the
Government under the old Confederation,
which was confuted to making rthinisii lolls on
the States in their sovereign character. This
lett it to the discretion of each. whetlfer to
obey or refuse, and they often' declined to
comply with such requisitions. It thus be
came necessary, for' the purpose of removing
this barrier, and "in order to form a lIMIT .
perfect Union," to establish it Government.
which could act directly iipon the people; and
execute it's 6wil laws, without the intermediate
agency of the States. This has been accom
plished by the Constitution of the U. States.
In short; the Government created by the
Csnatitution, and deriving its authority trots
the sovereign people of each of the several
States, has treeisely the saute right to exer
cise its powter over the'. people of all these -
States, in the enumerated eases, that each one
of them possesses over subjects not Jelegated
to the United States, but•t" reserved to the
States, respectively, or to the people."
To the extent of the delegated powers; the
Constitution'orthe United States is as much a
part of the constitution of each State, - and is
as binding upon its, people, as though it had
been textually inserted therein. .
This Dover neat; therefore, is a great and
powerful Gov .rnment, invested with all the
attributes of s tilereignty over the special sub
jects in which \\ its authority extends: Its
framers never' intended to implant in its bo•
sons the seeds of its own destruction, nor were
they at its creation guilty of the absurdity of
providing for its own dissolution. It Was not
intended by its frameis to be the baseless tab
lie of a vision which, at the.touch of the en
chanter, would vanish into thin air, but a
substantial and mighty fabric, capable of ter
skiing the sioO , decay of time, and of defying
the storms of ages.
Indeed, well. may _the...jealous patriots of
that day have indulged fears that a govern-
Anent of such high powers might violate the
reserved rights of the States, and, wisely did
they adopt the rule of iisteki, construction of
these powers to prevent the danger! that they
did not tear. It i T had they tiny reason td Dna
gine, that the onstitutiou would ever be so
interpreted - as to enable any State—by tierson
net, and without the consent of tier sister
State,. to , discharge her people from all .or
any of her Federal obligations. '
It may 'be asked, then, are the people of the
States without redress against the tyranny
and oppression of the Federal Government?—
By no means. }'he right of resistance on the
part of the governed against the oppression
of their governments cannot bo denied. It
exists independently of all constitutions, and
has been exercised at all periods of the world's'
history.' Under it all governments have been
destroyed and new ones have taken their
places. It is embodied in strong and expres
sive language in our own Declaration of inde
pendence. But the distinction must ever be
observed, that this is revolution against an
established government, and not a voluntary
secession from it by virtue of an inherent con-
stitutional right. Iti short, let us look Medan-
ger fairly in the face. Secession is neither more
nor less than revolution. It may or may not'
be trjustktialde revolution, but still it is revo
lution.
What in the meantime, is the responsibility
and position of the Executive? He is bound
by a solemn oath before God and the country
" to take care that the laws be faithfully ex
ecuted." And from, this obligation he cannot
,be absolved by any human power. But what
if fhe performance of this duty, in .whole or
in part, has been rendereeimpreatioable by
ev.pArp over which be could'have exercised no
.control? Such, at the present moms t, is the
case throughout the State of South Carolina,.
so far as the laws Of the United States to se•
cure the administration ofjusiice by means of
the Federal Judiciary are concerned.
All the Federal officers Within its limits,
through whose agency alone these laws can
be carried into execution, have already re
signed. Wo me-longer have &district judge,
district'a altOrire.y, or 'a - marshal in Smith
Carolina. In fact, the whole machinery of
tho. Federal Government, necessary Air the
distribution of remedial justice' among the
people, has been demolished; and it would be
diflicuit, if not impossible, to replace it,.
The only acts of Congress on the )3101W
il00k,_beatillg upon this subject, are those of
the 28th of February, 1705, and 8d of March,
11307. These authorize the Presieent, after
he shall have ascertained that the marshal
with his posse comitatus is unable to execute
; civil or criminal process in any particular case
o;call forth the militia and employ the army
and navy to aid him' in perforating this ser
vice, having first by Proclamation commanded
the insurgents "to disperse and retire peace
ably to their respective abodes, within a limn•
boll time." This duty cannot by possibility
be performed in a state where no judicial au
thority exists to ]nano preempt. en whore
there is no marshal to execute it, and *here,
even if there; were.sueh an officer, the entire
population would constitute one solid combi
nation to resist him.
The bare enumeration of these provisions
proves how inadequate they are without fur
ther legislation to overawe() it:United opposi
tion in a single Stote,• not to , tweak of other

attitude.. Congress alone has power to decide

. Any attempt to do this should, on his part,
be a naked act of usUrpation. It is,•therefore
my duty to submit to Congrasthe whole ques
tion in all its bearings. The course of events
is so rapidly haseening forward that the emer
gency may soon arise, when you may be called
. neon to decide the momentous question
whether you possess the power, by-force of
arms, to compel a State to remain in the Union.
I should feel myself' recrean't to my duty were
• I nate express an opinion on this important
subject: A •
The question fairly slated is: . Has the Con.
stitution delegated to / Congress the power to
coerce a, State, into submission which is at
tempting Id, withdraw -or hos' actually with
drawn from the Confederacy? If answered in
the affirmative, it must. be on the principle
that the power has been aunferred upon Con- '
gress to declare and make war tigninst a State;
After much serious reflection Iblive arrived
at the conclusion that no such Power has been
delegated to Congress or to any other depart-
Wilt of the Federal Gbvernment. It is mani
fest, upon tin inspection of the Constitution,
that this is not among the specific and enu
merated powers granted to Congress;- anti it
itsequally apparent that. its exercise is not
"necessary and proper for carrying into 'exc.
dation " any one of these powers. So far'from
this power having bee'n delegated . to Congress
it was expressly refused by the Conventions
which funned the Constitution.'
It appears, from the-proceedings of that
body, that. on the 3lst of May, 17,87. the clause
"authorizing, an exertion of the force of the
whole against a delinquent State" came Imp
'for consideration. Mr. Madison opposed it
in a brief but, powerful speech, from which I
shall extract but a single sentence ' Ile • ob
served: "The use of force against a State'
would look 'more like a declaration of war,
than an infliel ion of punishinetVt ; and would
probably he considered by the party attacked
as, a dissolution of all previous compacts by
which it might be bound,"
Upon his motion the clause was unanimous
ly postponed, and was never, I believe, again
presented. Semi 'afterwards, on the Bth of
June, 1787, when incidentally adverting to
the subject he said: "Any Government for
the th)„ited States, formed on the supposed
practicability , of using force' agninst the un
constitutional proceedings of the States, ,would
prove as visionary and fallacious as the gov
ernment of Congress," evidently !nestling the
then existing Congress, of the old Confedera
tion.
Without descending to particulars, it may
be safely asserted, that the power to make war
against a State is at variance with the whole
spirit and int - ent of tile Constitution. Sup
pose such a war - should result in the conquest
of a State, hownre we to govern it afterwards?
we bold it ns n proviace, and govern it
by despotic power? In the. nature of things ,
we could not, by physical force, central the
- will of the people and compel them to elect
Senators pint ReeNentatives to Congress, and
to perform-all the other (lutit; depending up
on their own volition, andVequired fro in the
free citizens of a free State, as a const,tuent"
member of the Confederacy. / •
But, if possessed-of this power, would it be
wise to exercise it under existing circumsten
.ces? The object would dodbtless, be to pee
-1 serve the Union. War would not only present
the most effectual means of destroying it; but
would banish all hope of its pkaccable recon
struction:' Besides, in tile fraternal conflict
vast amountiof blood and treasure would be
eipended, rendering future reconciliation be
tween the States impossible. In the mean
time, who 'con foretell what would be the suf
fering and privation of the people during its
existence?
The fact is, that our Union
. rests upon pub
lic opinion, and can never be commented by
the lilood of its citizens shed in civil war. If
it cannot live in the affections of the people,
it must 'one day perish. Congress possess
many means of preserving it by concilitdion;
but the sword was not placed in their Mind to
preserve it by force.
But I may be permitted solemnly thinvoka
my countrymen to panse and deliberate before .
they determine to destroy this, the grandest
temple which .has ever been dedicated to hus
man freedom since the world began? It has
been consecrated by the blood.of our fathers,
by the glories of the pust„ and by the hopes
Of theluture. The Union has already made
us the most prosperous, and ere long, will, if
preserved, render us.the most powerful nation
on the face of the earth. In every foreign
region of the globe the title of American citi
zen is held in-high respect, and when pro
nounced iti a foreign land it causes the hearts
of our countrymen to swell with honest pride,
Surely, when we reach the brink of the yawn
ing abyss we shall recoil with horror from the
last fatal plunge. By such a dread catastrophe
the hopes of the friends of freedom through
out I Ito' world would.he destroyed, and a long
night of laden despotism would enshroud' the .
nations. Our example for more than eighty
years would not only be lost, but it would he

fur self-government.

timely believe • that It has already rearlied and pass-ol
the culiniunting point, Rut if in the midst of the ex
isting excitement, the Union shall perish. the evil may
then bemoan irreparable. Congress can conti Mute much
to avert It by proposing and recommending to Ilia Legis
latures of the several States ,the remedy for existing
evils, which the Constitution lice itseit provided Mr it s
own preservation. This has been tried at differ"et criti
cal periods of our history, and always with imminent
success. It le to i.e found in the Mb Article pros !ding
for its own anieudnient. Under this article amend
ments have brain Proposed by two thirds of both hues.
of Cougeess, and have been "ratified by the legit-Wines
of three fourths of the several States," and consequent
ly become parts of the Constitution.
To this process the country is indebted for the clause
prohibiting Congress from visaing any law respecting
an establishment of religion; or abridging the ..freedom
of speech or of the preen, or of the right of petition. To
this we are also indebted fur the Bill of 'Rights which
seeurea the people against any abuse of power by the
Federal Government. Smelt were the eppreliend..
justly entertained by the friends of State•ritchts et that.
period as to have reuderedit extremely doubtful wheth
er Gm Constitution could have lung survived without
those auiendments.
Again, the Constitution was amended by the sante
process after the election of President detTersOn by tune
Mouse of Representatives, in February; 1003. Thin a
mendment was rendered necessary to prevent a recur
rence of the dangers which had seriously threntened
I the existence of the 'Government during the pendency
of that election. The article for its own amendment
was intended to secure the amicable adjustment of con
flicting conetitutional questions like the present, which
blight arise between the governments of the States and
that of the United States. This appears from contem
poraneous history.
in this connection, I shall nierely call attention to a
few sentences in Mr. Madison's justly celebrated report
in 1799, to the legislature of Virginia. In this he ably
and cot:lush - Illy defended the resolutions of the pro.
'renting legislature against the ntrleturce of several oth
er State legislature/I. Tine:Weer° mainly founded Upon
this protest of the Virginia legislature against the "A li•
en and Sedition Arts," as "palpable and sternting In
fractions of the Constitution.' " In pointing not the
peaceful mid constitutional remedies, and ho referred
to none other, to which the States were authorised to
resort, on midi occasions, he concludes by saying, "that
the legislatures of the States might have nettle a direct •
representation to Congress, With a View to retain the
resinding of the two offensive nets, or they might have
represented to their respective • Senators in Congress
their wish that two-thirds thereof would prOpese an ex•
planatery amendment to t he Coimtitution, or two-thirds
of themselves, if such had been their opttloo, might, by
an application to Congress, have obtained n convention -
