i plaee, iicause it is in in ly unlawful and .
unconstitutional. I deny t e pght of this j

j p..so of the abolition of slavery. You will j
j hear in mind that it is no question of the
it oraltty or t>e propriety of the abolition to
-lav. ry. Tlie qu-ti >n is this : can this gov
ernment carry on a war for the purpose of
overturning the institution* of the respective
sta es ? That is the question presented.
Dinnmitter whether it is slavery or
whether it is the banking in*tiiu'i ms of the

between the Narth and the South in this con

to this C institution they bad the right to
rescind the resolution agreeing to it at any
time when they MW fit, and abandon the
Union for such a government a* they might
deem for their inie'e*t. We took i**ue with
them. We insisted that the Constitution ,
was obligatory upon all the state* ; that ihe |
United States government was u pre me in '
••very stale, and that thjt government had a !
right to enforce obedience to its constitution- j
al requirements in every s'ate tinier its at}- J
thorny, if necea*ary by force of arms. That |
waa our position. That is our position to I
day. We stand upon that po*ition. Clieer*.)
That wa6 the position the admuiiatranon
stood upon when the war commenced. But
now they aeek to go further, and if you look
at tho issue a single moment, you will see
that the very inomvnt they go freyond requir

vindication of thd authority of the 6 eneial
government, that moment tbey themselvce

When war was commenced by the bom
