Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives : Throughout the year since our lust met ting, llie country has been eminently prosperous in all if* material interests. The general health lias been excellent, our harvests have been abundant, and pi.■ iit v smiles throughout the laud. Our commerce and manufactures have been prosecuted with energy and industry, and have yielded fair and ample ret urns. In short, no cation in the tide of time has ever presented a spectacle ot greater material prosperity than we have done until within a recent period. Why is it, then that discontent now so extern sivelv prevails, and the Union of the States, which is the source of all these blessings, is threatened with disruption ? Ihe long continued and intem perate interference of the Northern people with the question of slavery in the Southern States, has at length produced its natural effects. Ihe differ ent sections of the Union ate now arrayed against each other, and the time lias arrived, so much dreaded by the Father of his Country, when hostile geographical parties have been formed. I have long foreseen and often forewarned my couutry men of the now impending danger. This does not proceed solely from the claim on the part of Con gress or the Territorial Legia’atures to exclude slavery from the Territories, nor from the efforts of different States to defeat the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law. All or any of these evils might have been endured by the South without danger to the Union, (as otherr have been,) in the hope that time and reflection might apply the remedy. The immediate peril arises not so much from those causes as from the fact that the inces sant and violent agitation of the slavery question throughout the North for the last quarter of a contury, has at length produced its malign influence on the slaves, and inspired them w ith vague notions of freedom. Hence a sense of security no longer exists around the family altar. This feel-ug of peace at home has given place to apprehensions of servile insurrection. Many a matron throughout the South retires at night in! dread of wlmt may befall herself and her children before morning. Should this apprehension of do meatic danger, whether real or imaginary, extend and intensify itself until it. shall pervade the masses of the Southern people, then disunion will become inevitable. Self preservation is the first law oi nature, and has been implanted in the heart of man by his Creator for the wisest purpose ; and no political Union, however fraught with blessings and benefits in all respects, can long continue, il the necessary consequence be to render the homes and firesides of nearly half the parties to it habit ually and hopelessly insecure. Sooner or later the bonds of such a Union must be severed. It is my conviction that this fatal period has not yet arrived ; and niv prayer to God is that he would preserve the Constitution and the Union through out all generations. But let us take warning in time and remove the cause of danger. It cannot be denied that for five and twenty years this agitation at the North against slavery in the South has been incessant. In 1835 pictorial band-bills, and inflammatory ap peals were circulated extensively throughout the South, of a character to excite the passions of the slaves ; and in the language of Gen. Jackson, ‘‘to stimula e them to insurrection, and produce all the horrors of a servile war.” This agitation has ever since been continued by the public press, by the proceedings of State and County Conventions, and by abolition sermons and lectures. The time Os ('ouvrooe i... E m violent speeches on this never ending subject; and appeals in pamphlet and other forms endorsed by distin guished nanus, have been sent forth iron) this cenlrul poiut, and spread broadcast over the Union. How easy would it be for the American people to settle the slavery question forever, and to re store peace aud harmony to this distracted coun try. They, and they alone, can do it. All that is necessary to accomplish the object, and all. for which the Slave States have ever contended, is to t>*. i.imlom*, mid }ivrmittcd tu manage their do mestic institutions in their own way. As sovereign States, they, and they alone, are responsible be fore God and the woild for the- slavery existing among them. For this, the people of the North are not more responsible, and have no more right to interfere, than with similar institutions in llus sia or in Brazil. Upon their good sense and pat riotic forbearance I confess 1 still greatly rely.— Without their aid, it is beyond the power of any President, no matter what may be Ins own political proclivities, to restore peace and harmony among the States. Wisely limited and restrained as is his power, under our Constitution and laws, he alone can accomplish but little, for good or fop evil, on such a momentous question. And this brings me to observe that the election of any one of our fellow-citizens to the office of President does not of itself afford just cause for dissolving the Union. This is more especially true if liis election has been effected by a mere plurality, ami not a majority, of the people, and inis resulted from transient and temporary causes which may probably never again occur. In order to justify a resort to revolutionary resistance, the Federal Government must be guilty of “a delibe rate, palpable and dangerous exercise” of powers not granted by the Constitution. The late Presi dential election, however, lias been held iu 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, nil require that we shall wait lor some overt and dangerous act on the part of the President elect before resorting to such a remedy. It is said, however, that the antecedents of the President elect have been sufficient to justify the fears of the Soutli that he will Attempt to invade their constitutional rights. But are such apprehen sions of contingent danger in the future sufficient to justify the immediate destruction of the noblest system of government ever devised by mortals? From the very nature of his office, and its high responsibilities, be must necessarily be conserva tive. The stern duty of administering the vast and complicated concerns of this Government af fords in itself a guarantee that he w ill not attempt any violation of a clear constitutional tight.— -After all, he is no more than the chief executive officer of the Government. His province is nbt to make, but to execute the laws; and it is a remar kable fnct in our history, that notwithstanding the repeated efforts of the anti slavery party, no single Act has ever passed Congress, unless we may possibly except the Missouri Compromise, i impairing, in the slightest degree, the rights of i the South to their property in slaves. And it may also be observed, judging from the present indica tions, that, no probability exists of the passage of j such an Act, by a majority of both Houses, either | in the present or next Congress. Surely, under : these circumstances, we ought to be restrained | from present action by the precept of Him who i spake as never man spake, that ‘‘sufficient unto | the day is the evil thereof.” The day of ezil may | never come, udlcss we shall rashly bring it upon | ourselves. It is alleged as one cause for immediate seces sion that the Southern States are denied equal rights with the other States in the common Terri tories. But by what authority are these denied 't Not by Congress, which has never passed, and I believe never will pass any act to exclude slavery from these Territories ; and certainly not by tbe Supreme Court, which lias solemnly decided that slaves are property, and, like all Ollier property, their owners have a tight 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 ob jection is not to anything they have already done, but to what they niny do hereafter. It will surely be admitted that this apprehension of future dan ger is no good reason for immediate dissolution of the Union. It is true that the Territorial Legisla ture of Kansas, on the 22d of Febuarv, 1800, passed in great haste an Act, over the veto of the Governor, declaring that slavery “is, and shall be, forever prohibited in this Territory.” Such an act, however, plainly violating the rights of property secured by the Constitution, will surely be declared void by tbe judicary whenever it shall be presented in a legal form. Only three days after my inauguration the Su pieme Court of the United States solemnly ad judged that this power did not exist in a Territo ral Legislature. Yet such has been the factious temper of the times that the correctness of this decision lias been extensively impugned before the public, and the question has given rise to an fry political conflicts throughout the country.— hose who have appealed from this judgment of Wt highest CQ&etHuttoittl tribunal to popular assemblies would, if they could, invest a Territorial Legislature with the power to annul sacred rights of property. This power Congress is expressly forbidden by the Federal Constitution to exercise. F.very Ktate Legislature in the Union is forf/.Jdcn by ils own Constitution to exercise it. It cannot be exercised in any State, except by the people in their bigdest sovereign capacity when framing or amending their State Constitution. In like man ner, it can only be exercised hy the people of a Territory represented in a Convention of Dele gates lor the purpose of framing a Constitution preparatory to admission as a State into the Union. Then, and not until then, are they in vested with power to decide the question whether slavery shall or shall not exist within their limits. This is an r.ct of sovereign authoiity, and not of subordinate Territorial legislation. Were it oth erwise, then, indeed, would the equality of the States in the Territories be destroyed, and the right of property in slaves would depend, not upon the guarantees of the Constitution, but up on the shifting majorities of an irresponsible Ter ritorial Legislature. Such a doctrine, from in trinsic unsoundness, cannot long influence any considerable portion of our people, much less can it afford a good reason for a dissolution of the Union. The most palpable violations of constitutional duty which have yet been committed consist in the acts of different State Legislatures to defeat the execution of the F'ugitive Slave law. It ought to be remembered, however, that for these AcLs, neither Congress nor any president can justly be held responsible. Having been passed in violation of the Federal Constitution, they are therefore null and void. All the Courts, both State and national, before whom the question has arisen, have from the beginning declared the Fugitive Slave law to be constitutional. The single exception is that of a State Court in Wisconsin; and this has not only been reversed by the proper appellate tribunal, but lias met w ith such universal reprobation that there can be no danger from il as a precedent. The validity of this law has been established over and over again by the Supreme Court of the United Stutes with perfect unanimity. It is founded upon an express provision of the Constitution, requiring that Fugitive Slaves who escape from service in one State to another shall be “delivered up” to their masters. Without tins provision it is a well known historical fact that the Constitution itself could never have been adopted by the Convention. In one form or other under the Acts of 1798 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, then, a clear case is presented, in which it will be the duty of the next President, as it has been my own, to act w-ith vigor in execut ing this supreme law against the conflicting enact ments of State Legislatures. Should lie fail in the performance of this high duty, he will then have manifested a disregard of the Constitution and laws, to the great injury of the people of neat ly one-half of the States ot the Union. But are we to presume in advance that he will thus violate his duty?— This would be at war with every principle of justice dud of Christian Charity. Let ua wait tor the overt act. The Fugitive Slave Law has been car ried into execution in every contested case since the commencement of the present administration — though often, it is to he regretted, with great loss and inconvenience to the master, aud with consid erable expense to the Government. Let us trust that the State Legislatures will repeal their uncon stitutional and obnoxious enactments. Unless this shall be done without unnecessary delay, it ia impowsiirlr* for ssisy liuidah power to fIUVD tliO union* | The Southern States standing on the basis of the Constitution, have a right to demand this act of justice from the States of the North. Should it be refused, then the Constitution, to which all the States are parlies, will have been wilfully violated by one poition of them in a provision essential to the domestic security and happiness of the re mainder. In that event, the injured States, after having first used all peaceful and constitutional means to obtain redress, would be justified in rev olutionary resistance to the government of the Ui ion. I have purposely confined my remarks to revo lutionary resistance, because it has been claimed within the last few years that any State, whenever this shall be its s.overeigu will and pleasure, may secede from the Union, in accordance with the -Constitution, and without any violation of the constitutional rights of the other members of the Confederacy. That as each became parties to the Union by the vote of its own people assembled in Convention, 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 constitutional remedy it must be on the principle that the Fede ral Government is a mere voluntary association of States, to be dissolved at pleasure by any one of the contracting parties. If this be so, the Con federacy is a rope of sand, to be penetrated aud dissolved by the first adverse waves of public opin ion in any of the States. In this manner our thirty-three States may resolve themselves into as many petty, jarring and hostile Republics, each one retiring lrom the Union, without responsibil ty, w henever any sudden excitement might impel them to such a course. By this process a Union might be entirely broken into fragments in a few weeks, which cost our forefathers many years of privation 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 framed with -tfce great est deliberation and care, it was submitted Ui Con ventions of the people of the several States for ratification. Its provisions were discussed at length in those bodies, composed of the first men of the country. Its opponents contended that it conferred powers upon the Federai Government dangerous to the righ’s of the States, whilst its advocates maintained that under a fair construc tion of the instrument there was no foundation for such apprehensions. In that mighty struggle be tween tlie first intellects of this or unv other coun try, it never occurred to any individual, either among ils opponents or advocates, to assert, or even to intimate, that their efforts were all vain labor, because the moment that any State felt her self aggrieved, she might secede from the Union. What a crushing argument would this have proved against those who dreaded that the rights of the States would be endangered by the Consti tution. The truth is, it was not until many years after the oiigio of the 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 16th January, 1833, transmitting the nullifying Ordi nance of South Carolina to Congress, employs the following language : “The right of the people of a single State to absolve themselves at will, and without the consent of the other States, from their most solemn obligations, and hazard the liberty and happiness of the millions composing tis Union, caunot be acknowledged. Such au thority is believed to be utterly repugnant botb to the principles upon which the General Govern ment is constituted, and to the objects which it. was expressly formed to attain.” It is not pretended that any clause in the Con stitution gives countenance to such a theory. It is altogether founded upon inference, not from any language contained in the instrument itself, but from ihe sovereign character of the several States by w hich it was ratified. But is it beyond the power of a State, like an individual, to yield a portion of its sovereign rights to secure the re ntainder? In the language of Mr. Madison, who has been called the lallier of the Constitution : ‘lt was formed by the States—that is, by the ) eople iu each of the States, acting in tbeir highest sovereign capacity ; and loimed consequently by the same authority which formed the State Con stitutions.” “Nor is the Government of the United States created by the Constitution, less a Government in the strict sense of the term, within the sphere of its powers, than the governments created by the Constitutions of the States are, within their sever al spheres. It is, like them, organized into legisla tive, executive, and judiciary departments. It operates, like them, directly ou persons and things ; and, like them, it has at command u phys ical force for executing the powers committed to it.” It was intended to be perpetuated, and not to be annulled at the pleasure of any one of the con - tracting parties. The old articles of confedera tion were entitled “Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union between the States and by the 18th article it is expressly declared that “the ar ticles of this Confederation shall be inviolaby ob served by every State, and the Union shall be perpetual.” The preamble to the Constitution of the United States, having express reference to the artiste! *f Cteaftdetewb* iteMut that it wee. VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. 38. established “in order to form a more perfect un ion. ’ And ret it is contended that this “mo e perfect union” does not include the essential at tribute of perpetuity. But that the Union w 4 as designed to be perpet ual appears conclusively from the nature and e - - tent of the powers conferred by the Constitution on the Federal Government. These powers em brace the very highest attributes of national sov ereign!}. They place both the sword and ti •* purse under its control. Congress has power t > make war, and to make peace ; to raise and su; - port armies ayd navies, and to conclude treali* s with foreign Governments. It is invested wi: i the power to coin money, and to regulate thn value thereof, and to regulate commerce with for eign nations, and among the several States. It is not necessary to enumerate the other high pow era which have been conferred upon the Federal Government. In order to carry the enumerated powers iuto effect, Congress possesses the exclu sive right to lay and collect dulies 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 has adopt ed effectual means to restrain the States from interfering with their exercise. For that purpose it has, in strong prohibitory language, expressly declared that “no State shall enter into any treaty, alliance or confederation ; grant letters of marque and reprisals; coin money ; emit bills of credit ; make anything but gold and Rilver coin a tender iu payment of debts ; pass any bill of attainder, tJt p<ixt fiteto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts.” Moreover, “without the consent of Congress, no State shall lay auv imposts or duties on any imports or exports, except what may 1: absolutely necesswry for executing its inspection lawsand, if they exceed this amount, the ex cess shall belong to the United States. And “no State shall, without tbe consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage ; keep troops, or ships of war, in time of peace ; enter into any agreement or compact with another State, or with a foreign power; or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.” In order still further to secure the uninterrupt ed exercise of these high powers against interpo sition, it is provided “that this Constitution and the laws ol the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made* or whivh shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of tbe land ; aad the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstand ing.” The solemn sanction of religion has been eu peradded to the obligations of official dutv, and all Senators and Representatives of the United States, all membeta of the State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, “both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound bv oath or affirmation to support this Con stitution.” Iu order to carry into effect these powers, the constitution has established a perfect Government in all its forms, Legislative, Executive and Judi cial; ami this Government, to tbe extent of its powers, acts directly upon the individual citizens of every State, and executes its own decrees by the agency of its own officers. In this respect it dilfers entirely from the Government under the old Confederation, which was confined to making requisitions on the States in their sovereign char acter. This left in the discretion of each whether to obey or to refuse, and they often declined to comply with such requisitions. It thus became necessary, for the purpose of removing this barri er, and “in order to form a more perlect Union,” to establish a Government which could act direct ly upon the people, and execute its own laws with out the intermediate agency of the States. This b.as been accomplished by the Constitution of the United States. In short, the government created by the Con stitution, and deriving its authority from the sov ereign people of each of the several States, has precisely tbe same right to exercise its power over the people of all those States, in the enumerated cases, that each one of them possesses over sub jects not delegated to the United States, but “re served to the States, respectively, or to the peo ple.” To the extent of the delegated powers the Con stitution of the 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 in serted therein. This Government, therefore, is a great and pow erful Government, invested with all the attributes of sovereignty over the special subjects to which its authority extends. Its framers never intended to implant in its bosom the seeds of its owu de struction, nor were they at its creation guilty of the absurdity of providing for its own dissolution. It was not intended by its framers to be the base less fabric of a vision, which, at the touch of the enchanter, would vanish into thin air, but a sub stantial and mighty fabric, capable of resisting the slow decay of time and of defying the storms of ages. Indeed, well may the jealou ? patriots of that day have indulged fears that a Government of such high powers might violate the reserved rights of the States, and w isely did the rule of a strict construction of these powers to prevent the danger! But they did not fear, nor had they any reason to imagine, that the Constitu tion would ever be so interpreted as to enable any State, by her own act, and without the consent of her sister States, to discharge her people from aU or any of their Federal obligations. It may be asked, then, are the people of the States without redress against the tyrannv and oppression of the Federal Government? By no means. The right of resistance on the part of the governed against tbe oppression of their govern ments cannot be denied. It exists independently of all Constitutions, and has been exercised at all periods of the world’s history. Under it old gov ernments have been destroyed, and new ones have taken their place. It is embodied in strong and express language in our own Declaration of Inde pendence. But tie distinction must ever be ob served, that this is revolution against an establish ed Government, and not a voluntary secession from it, by virtue of an inherent Constitutional right. In short, let us look the danger fairly iu the face : Secession is neither more nor less than .-evolution. It may or may not be a justifiable revolution, but still it is revolution. What in the meantime is the responsibility and true position of the Executive? He is bound by the solemn oath before God and the country “to take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” and from this obligation he cannot be absolved by any human power. But what if the performance of this duty, in whole or part, has been rendered impracticable by events over which be oould have exercised no control? Such, at the present mo ment i live case throughout the State of South Carolina, so far as the laws of the United States to secure the administration of justice 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 exe cution, have already resigned. We no loDger have a district Judge, a district Attorney, ora Marshal in South Carolina. In fact the whole machinery of the Federal Government, necessary for the distribution of remedial justice among the people, has been demolished, and it would be diffi cult, if not impossible, to replace it. The only Acts of Congress on the statute hook, bearing upon this subject, are those of the 28th February, 1795, and lid March, 1807. These au thorize the President, after he shall have ascer tained that the Marshal and his comitatits is anable to execute civil or criminal process in any particular case, to call forth the militia and em ploy the army and navy to aid him in perform ng this service, having first by proclamation com manded the insurgents “to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes, within a limited time.” This duty cannot by any possibil ity be performed in a State where no judicial au thority exists.to issue process, and where there is no marshal to execute it, and where, even if there were such an officer, the entire population would constitute one solid combination to resist him. The bare enumeration of these provisions proves how inadequate they are without further legisla tion to overcome a united opposition in a single State, not to speak of other States who may place themselves in similar attitude. Congress . alone has power ro decide whether the present laws can or cannot be amended so as to carry ‘ out more effectually the objects of the Constitution. “ The same insuparable obstacles do not lie in the way of executing the laws for the collection of the customs, The revenue still contiuues to bo t tho Horn &
