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
