militia.’’
Webster says: *
to the Confederate States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to Cue. States, are reserved
to the States respectively, or to the people
thereof.”
With these extracts from the Constitution
tall that bear upon the subject) before us, it
will be admitted I think without hesitation,
1st, That the State of Georgia is a sovereign
and independent State. 2nd, “That a well
regulated militia is necessary to her security
as a free State. 3d, That she and she only,
has the appointment of the officers of her mili
tia. And tth. That the powers not delegated
to the Confederate Government are reserved tfi
herself. These points admitted, let us now see
if the Conscription Act infringes them, and if
ao, to what extent, on what supposed authori
ty it is based, and how its supporters seek to
Justify it.
The militia constitute the great body of the
people, and experience has conceded am] it is
established throughout the States, that the ages
for military service, for the composition of that
well regulated militia which is necessary for
the security of a free State, shall be compre
hended between 18 and -13 years; the train
ing and office) ing oi this body being reserved
to the State*. This is the wisdom of the fra
mers of the Constitution, who jealously and
thoroughly discussed in the Convention of 1787
the rights and powers of the Federal Govern
ment and of the States, all uniting in the de
claration that A well regulated militia is lmces
sary to the security of a free State. That this
was wise, ours* lvcs have endorsed, first, thro’
our delegates at Montgomery, on the 1 ltli of
March, 1861, and in Convention, at Savannah,
on the 10th of March, of the same year. This
was enough, one would think, to establish the
principle beyond cavil. Not so, however. With
in a year ol these endorsements the President
finds cause to change his Sentiments and recom
mends to Congress the substitution of a new i . ' , \ - i er r..i state.
