Executive Department, ) Milledgeville, November 6th, 1802. > To the Scuttle and House of Representatives: The great struggle for liberty and independence in which we have been engaged during the past year, against a pow erful and relentless enemy, has called not only for the exer cise of the united energies of our whole people, but forthe most costly sacrifices of blood and treasure. When we look at the material of which the armies of the contending parties are composed, we can but exclaim, how 'unequal the contest! In the armies of the South are found her no blest and best sons, whose valor upon the battle field lias been unsurpassed, and whose blood in abundant profusion has been poured out, a rich sacrifice upon the altar of lib erty. The Northern armies, on the contrary, have been composed, in a great degree, of imported foreigners and paupers, and of the worst classes of Northern society, who have served as mercenaries, and whose destruction, in many instances, has been rather a relief than a misfortune to so ciety. But the contrast does not stop here. The motives which prompt the people of the two sections to protract the war, are as different as the material of which the two ar mies are composed, is unlike. The people of the North are fighting for power and plunder, the people of the Ctouth for the liberty and independence of themselves and their posteri ty. Our enemies have it in their power to stop the war when ever they ate contcirt to do justice and let us alone. We can never stop fighting while they continue to attempt our subjugation, but must prosecute the war with vigor, if necessary, to the expenditure of the last dollar and the de struction of the last man, If we are subjugated, let it be only when we are exterminated. We were horn tree ; and though it be upon the battle field, we should die free. This I believe to be the unanimous sentiment of the peo ple of Georgia who have, on this question, laid aside all party divisions and differences; and have, from the com mencement of the struggle, promptly discharged their whole duty to the cause, and to their brethren of the other Confederate States. Not a requisition has been made upon Georgia by the President of the Confederacy lor assistance which has not been met without delay; and in every case of requisition on the State for troops, more men have been tendered than were required. In the face of this proud record, no plea of necessity could be set up, so far as Georgia was concerned, (and I believe the remark will apply generally to all the States.) for the passage of any act by Congress to raise troops, which either infringed her constitutional rights or disregarded her sover eignty. The Act of Congress of 16th April last, usually known as the Conscription Act, in my opinion, does both; and is not only u palpable violation of the Constitution of the Confederacy, but a dangerous assault upon both the rights and the sovereignty of the States. Who supposed, when we entered into this revolution for the defense of State Rights against Federal aggression, that, in a little over one year, the persons of the free-born citizens of the re spective States would be regarded and claimed, while at home in pursuit of their ordinary avocations, as the vassals of the central power, to be like chattels, ordered and dis posed of at pleasure, without the consent, and even over the protest of the States to which they belong; and that he who raised his voice against such usurpation would be denounced by the minions of power asVintrue to the cause so dear to every patriotic Southern heart '/ And who that has noticed the workings of the conscription policy, will say that this picture is overdrawn ? Not only the rights and the sovereignty of the States have been disregarded, but the individual rights of the citizen have been trampled under foot, and we have by this policy been reduced, for a time at least, to a state bordering upon military despotism. Tin's extraordinary act has oeen defended, however, by two classes of individuals, upon two distinct grounds. The first class admit its unconstitutionality, but justify its passage upon the plea of necessity, and say that without it the twelve months volunteers could not have been kept in the field in a time of greyt emergency; and further, that the Constitution is a mere rope of sand in the midst of /evolu tion. The second class justifies it on the ground that Con gress had the right under the Constitution to pass it. Is either correct Z To the first, it may be replied that the plea of necessity cannot be set up, till it can be shown that the States when called on had neglected or refused, to fill the requisitions made upon them for troops by the President. Again, in reference to the twelve months troops, it should be remem bered that the Government only called on them to volun teer for that period before they left their homes, and that -the contract clearly implied between them and the Govern ment, was that they should faithfully serve it, and do all their duty as soldiers for tiiat period, and that they should IlnVTiriVU-i’WrH 1 -Jiw?.,.°i soldiers, with thejegal pay and ad mitted to return home at the end of that time. The Gov ernment cannot, therefore, be justifiable in violating its contract, and acting in bud faith towards, them, no matter iiow great the emergencjfeftmy have been, unless it can be shewn that the Government, by the exercise of due fore sight and energy, could not^yive supplied their places in time to meet the emergency:* feet that they were twelve months men was welUfftlown to the Government from the time they entered the service.' Why then were not requisitions made upon the Stajes for enough of troops to (ill their places a sufficient tinTe before the expiration of their terra, to have men in sufficient liu^Alijpis ready for ser vice/ But admit that the Government ’fi;uj»i*eglected this plain duty till it was now too late to get fhoufen from the States in time to meet the crisis, and that iTnad on that ac count become necessary for it to violate its cool,>•«*■! with the twelve months men, to save the cause from fum;-VTas it then necessary to pass a general Conscription Acttyo ac complish this purpose/ Gould it not have been done by simply passim? an act compelling all twelve months men, of every a^e, to remain in service for ninety days, as all un der is and over 3-5, though not conscripts, were compelled to do ? This would have given the Government three months more of time to provide against the consequences of its former neglect, and raise the necessary force, and would have left the troops, in the meantime, under the com mand of the officers appointed by the States, as provided by the Constitution. The emergency would thus have been met more of justice been done even to the twelve months volunteers, anil no dangerous precedent at war with the D | rights of the citizen and the sovereignty of G 11 St 'r >s would have been established. It must also be recollected while epon this part of the subject, that the similar paragraph of the same article istitution of the United States. This act, by its plain letter, deprived the troops who bad volun teered for the war, in response to calls made by the Slates to fill requisitions made upon them, of the right to elect their officers, when so authorized by the laws of their re spective States, and have them commissioned by their State authorities; and that it established a system of promotion of officers in violation of this right of the troops, and au thorized the President to issue the commissions. "VY hat pressing necessity existed to justify this act of palpable in justice to the State volunteers, who had entered the Con federate service at the calls of their respective States for the war, with the constitutional guaranty that their officers should be appointed by the States, and with the further guaranty from the States, as in this State, that they should have the right to elect those who were to command them ? But it is said by the first class of advocates of conscription, that the Constitution must j'ield to the exigencies ot the times, and that those in authority may violate it when nec essary during the revolution ; if so it of course follows that those in authority must be the judges of the necessity for its violation, which makes their will the supreme law ot the land. If this were the intention of the people, why did they form a Constitution at the beginning of the revolu tion, and why did they require all our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress, all the members of the Legislatures of the several States, and all executive and judicial officers of the Confederate States, and of the several States, to take an oath to support this Constitution '? When the Governor of this State and each member of the General Assembly took a solemn oatli to support the Con stitution of the Confederate States, no exception was made which relieved them from the obligations of the oath during the revolution. This fact should be remembered by those who admit the violation of the Constitution, but severely censure the public officer who, true to his obligation, throws himself in the breach for the support of the Constitution against the usurpation. I here dismiss the first class of advocates, and turn to the justification set up by the second, which from its nature, however unfounded, is entitled to more respectful consider ation. Does the Constitution authorize Congress to pass an act such us the one now under v The advocates of this power in Congress rest the case upon the 12th paragraph of the Sth section ot the first ar ticle of the Constitution of the Confederate States, which is an exact copy of a sii and section in the Constitution paragraph gives Congress the power “ to raise and support armies.” The advocates of conscription take this single clause of the Constitution alone, and contend that it does not define any particular mode of raising armies, and that Congress has the power, therefore, to raise them either by voluntary enlistment, or by conscription or coercion, as it may judge best. The Convention which framed the Constitution of the United States, of which ours is a copy so far as relates to this point, must he supposed to have ustsl terms in the sense in which they were usually understood at the time, in the government which had lately been their own, and from which as descendants they had derived not only the terms used, but their whole system of language and laws, civil and military. In placing a just construction upon the phrase to “ raise armies*” as used by the Convention, we are, therefore, naturally led to inquire how armies had been, aud were at that time, raised by the British Government, imm which the members ot the Convention “ had derived most of their ideas upon this subject ” By reference to the legislation and history of the British Government, it will be found that armies were not then raised in that Government by conscription, but only by voluntary enlistment. This was not only the case at the time of the adoption of the Federal Constitution, but had become the settled and established practice of that Government, after deliberate consideration of the question ; which fact cannot be presumed to have been unknown to the Convention when they used the phrase | now under consideration. The terms used by the Convention having acquired a j definite meaning well understood and recognized by all, we ! cannot justly presume that the members of the Convention I intended that these terms when used by them, should be understood in a different sense. Had this been their do : sign, they would certainly have used such qualifying lan guage as would have left no doubt of their intention to re ject the ordinary acceptation ot the terms, and use them in a different sense. By reference to the constitutional history of Great Brit ain, it will be seen that a bill was attempted in 1704 “ to •• recruit the army 0y a Jbn-cd oohsckiptiON of men from each “ parish, hut teas hud aside as UNCONSTITUTIONAL.' It Was tried again.in 1707 with like success; but it was resolved instead to bring in a bill for raising a sufficient number of troops out of such persons as have no lawful calling or em- ployment. A distinguished author says: “The parish ofli- “ cers were thus enabled to press men for the land service, “ a method hardly more constitutional than the former, and “ liable to enormous abuses.” The act was temporary, and was temporarily revived in 1757, but never upon any later occasion. The* Convention of 1787 sat thirty years after the British Government had abandoned the policy of con scription, even of persons having no lawful employment, as unconstitutional. The Convention was composed mostly of intelligent lawyers, who were well acquainted with this fact, which leaves no room to doubt that when they gave Congress the power to “ raise armies,” they intended that the phrase to “ raise armies ” should be understood in the sense then attached to it, and that the armies should be raised by volunteer enlistment; which was the only constitu tional mode then known in Great Britain or this country. i ft had not only been solemnly determined bv the proper authorities in me iviugry gmv,...—.e o ..i i„ ric . before the commencement of the American revolution, that it was unconstitutional to raise armies by conscription, but j even the monarchical government of France, had not vet j ventured so far to disregard the rights of the subject of that i Government, as to adopt this practice, which places each ! man subject to it, like a chattel, at the will of him who, un- ! der whatever name, exercises monarchical power. The practice of the Government of the United States was also uniformly against conscription from its creation to its dis solution. In view of these facts of history, can it now be just to charge the great and good men who framed our republican government with the grave mistake of having conferred upon the General Government of a Confederation of States powers over the persons ot the citizens of the respective States, which were at the time, regarded too dangerous to be exercised by the most absolute European monarchs over their subjects'? When we construe all that is contained in the Constitu tion upon this subject together, the meaning is clear be yond doubt. The powers delegated by the states to Con gress, are all it lias. These are chiefly enumerated in the 8th section of the 1st article of the Constitution. Paragraph 11, gives Congress power, “ To declare war; grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;” Paragraph 12, •“ To raise and support armies ; but no appropriation of “money to that use shall be for a longer term than two “years Paragraph 13, [CONCLUDED ON FOURTH PAGE.] Administrator's Sale.
