There could be no such thing as a conditional ratification—a ratification .provid ed certain amendments were assented to, ei ther before or after. There could be no-such rights reserved as a right to secede, in''cose their demands were not acceded to. The opponents of the Constitution and of the Union desires an express reservation of a right to secede or withdraw from the Union, if their amendments were not granted. VVhv was it necessary to make such a. reservation, if secession was an inherent right, a right never surrendered, as the secessionists now contend ? But the Constitution was ratified without the condition. The reservation of the right to withdraw or secede was abandoned. The ratification, without the condition, was a vir tual abandonment of the claim of .right to withdraw from the Union, For, it that right existed independently of the Cohttilulion, why propose the condition, to secure ot re serve it ? How emphatic is the language of Mr. Mad ison, that a reservation ot a right to with- draw, is a “conditional ratification,” under which New York would not become a member of the Union. There would be no reciprocir ty in such a compact. “Tho Constitution re quires an adoption n* toto and roBEVER.”— The other States had so adopted it; New York must so adopt it. “The idea.of reserv ing a right to withdraw ('from tho- Union,) was sturted at Richmond 1 and eonsiderid as a conditional ratification, which waslitself ara-n- DONFD AS WORSE THAN A BEJECTtpN.” 1 How completely this scatters to the .winds tho nbsurd doctrine of secession, which is pretended to he derived irom Virginia, where it was “abandoned,” and frond Mr. Madison- who then and afterwards condemned it I Mr. Madison’s language in another place was sought to be tortured in our State Legis lature into the assertion of a right to secede.
