CALHdoV^KKl'LX TO MR irt:B!!TER<—[>' ontinned.] If we compare our prevent system with the old confederation, which all ackoowl edge to liaye Urea federal in its character, we shall find that it possesses all the attri butes which belong to that form of govetn- meot. as full; and completely as that did. In fact, in tku particular, there is bnt a single dilf' ranee, and that not essential us isgards t"e pcit-t immediately under consideration, though srry important in other respects. The confr icmtiori was the act of the State Governments, and formed an Uoinn of governments ■ The present Constitution is the act of the States themselves, or, which is the same thing, of the people of the several Slates, and Inrms an union of them as sovereig this purpose they have ratified the een- pa. t ip tlicir sovereign capacity, thereby malting it tile constitution of each atalo, in no wiae'ilistiaguithed from (heir own ae pnrate constitution, but in the auperadded obligation of couipsct—of faith mutually pledged to each other. In this compact they have stipulatcd.amongst other things that it may be amended by three-fourths of the states; that is, they have conceded to each other, by compact,the right to add new powrs or to subtract old,by the con sent of that proportion of the suits, with out requiring, as otherwihe would be the case, the consent of nil—a modification no more inconsistent, as has been supposed, with their soreieignty than any other con tained in the compact. In fact the pro vision to which 1 allude, furnishes strong evidence that the sovereignty is, as I contend, in the states severally; as the amendments are effected not by any one three-fourths, but by any three- fourths of the states, indicating that the sovereignty is in each of the states. If these views be correct, it follows as a matter of course, that the allegiance of the people is to their several States, and that treason consists in r«»iaUuce ; sr#to possess the right of judging, fibs!- £, 1km tf (ho ffsrisioo of t6e JndWarybs d exclusively, of their respective * ' " usivel_ powers, on wfSt principle can ths same 'ight be withheld from the State Govern ments, which as well ae the General Gov eminent, properly considered, are but de part manta of tht - tame general syatem, and form together properly speaking, but department. But the proper answer to one Government This was a favorite idea of a man for whose wisdom I have a respect increasing with my experience, nod whom I have frequently heard say that :r.cst{cf:hc »«*l «rmn in relation to our syatem, originated to forgetting that they were but parts of the same system. I would further tell the Senator, that if this right be withheld form the state governments; if this restain ing influence by which the General Gov ernment is coerced to its proper sphere be withdrawn, then that department of the Government from which he has with held the right of judging of its own pow cm [the Kxecutive] will so far from being exclnded. become the sole interpreter of the powers of the Government. It is the armed interpreter, with powers to exe cute its own construction, and without the aid of*!*ich. •*»* rnnsrruction of the joint authority of the State» United, not | departments will be impotent. as hat been absurdly contended, io resis tance to the Government of the United Stars, which hy the provision of the constitution, has only the right of pun ishing. These conclusions have all a most im communities The Stoles, previous to portaot ..earing on that monstrous and the adoption of the Constitution, were as despotic bill, which, to the disgrace of 1 S S. . t s »• _ tha Son’ll, non tin* nop lift* naMPfl Inn separate and distinct political bodies as the Senate and the age, has passed this the government which represent* tnem, body. I b .ve stills right thus to apeak •nd them is nothing in the nature of thing* to prevent them from uniting un der a compact, in a federal Union, with* out being blended in one mass, any more than uniting the governments themselves, in like manner without merging (hem in a single Government. To illustrate what I have stated, by reference to ordinary transaction*, th- confederacy was a con tract between agents—the present Consti tution between the principals themselves : or to take a more analogous case, one U ;; leasts'* m.v'e *»y »mb «*s.idor*: the oth er a 1*^600 made by sovereigns-the lat ter no more tending to unite t*ie parties into a single sovereignty than the former. The only ilifleicnee is in the solemnity of the act and the force of the obhga tion. There indeed rcsnl’s h important difference under our theory of Govern trient, ns to the nature and character of the act itself, whether executec by the States themselves, or by their govern ments; but*result, as I have already sta ted. not at all affecting the question under consideration, but which will throw much light on a subject, in relation to which I most think the Senator from Massarhn setts has formed vety confused concep Cions. The Senator dwelt much on the point, iufiliU present system tee * .#••••(•(■,»;nn and t Government in Contradistinction to the old confederation, with a view ofptov log 'hat the Constitution w-t* not a com pile. Sow. I concede III riir ovuaiui, that our present system is a Constitution and a Government—and that the former, th* old eon'e.leraiion,was not a Consritu tion or gov-mmeot: not. however, for the reason which he assigned, that the former was a compact, and the latter nut; but from the difference of the origin ftom •-which the tfi compacts are derived.— According io our American conception, the peopte .done can toim < (institutions or Governments, and not their agents It is this difference, and this alone, which make* the distinction. Had the old coo fedet anon been the act of the people of the seveial State*. and n *t of their Gov ern entr. that instrument, imperfect as it is. would have a Constitution, sod the agency.which it created to execute its power*, a government. This is th* -true cause of the diffetence, between tbo two sets, and not that in which the Senatoi see n* to be i*wiltl-red Thsre is another point, on which this difference throws important light, and wh»*di has bee i frequently referred to in d*’ Mtc on this nmi former occasions. I refer to the expression io the preamble of th-»iitut»-d. which speaksof "form iog .nor*? perfect Union," and in the let ter ,,f General Washington, laying the dra ight of the invention before the old Congress in which lie speak* of 'consoli dating the Mao;" both or which I con ceiveto refer simply to the fact, that, the |»re*»*»d -» A.r. ad; stated, is an U ninn between the state* thems-lvrs, and not an Uni n, like that which had existed between the governments of the states, We will now proceed to consider some of the conclusions, which urcrssarily I d low »rnm the facts and (>«*in ns already established. They enable us to decidr a question of vital importance under our •ysiem: Where does sovereignty smile? If I have *:<cce 'ded in establishing the fact that ours is a federal system, as I con ceive I conclusively have, that fact ,.fjt •elf determines the question which I hav> proposed. If is • f the very essence of such a system, that the sovereignty is in the paits. and nut in the whole; or. to use the Ung'Mge i»f Mr. P.ilgrave,tn» part* are the units in sneh a system, and the multiple, at d nut the whole the units and the ports the fr u tions Ours, then, is a Govern ntent of twenty four sovereignties, united by t constitutional compact, for the pur pose »f exercising certain powers through a CoMimon Government, a* their joint *. gent:—in t not an union of the twenty four Bovereigniies into one, *lu<*h accord ing t<» rhe language of the Virginia reso Itftioos. already cited, would firm a con ■slid it:nn. And here I must express my •urpits* to the .Senator from Vtigioio.thai lie should avow liimse f the advocate of these very resolution*, when lie distinctly maintains the idea ot an union of the •t*ie« in »no sovereignty, which is ex pressly condemned by those resolutions, as the essence of a consolidated Govern* merit Another consequence, which was equal ly clear that whatover modifications were liisde io the constitution nf the states, un der tils present constitution were modifi cations extending only to the exercise ol their pnwits by compact, and not to the sevctelfuty itself, sad are such as sover sign* are competent to make; it b ing a conceded point, that it is competent to them to stipulate to exercise their powers !• a particular manner, or to abstain alto gather Iro n then exercise, or'to delegate them te agents, without, in any degree, impairing sovereignty itself. The plain . state of the facts, as regards*oar govern ment, is, that these states have agreed, by Compact, to exercise their sovereign pow ' ers jointly, u already suied, aod that, for raised above the authority ol rite aover •ign parties to the codsiiiutUo, the de cisions of die other de£er*mehts, not car ried by the forms ol the constitution be fore the Judiciary, must be equally au thoritative and final with decisions ol that without violating the rules of order, is not yet a law. These conclusions show that the States can violate no law; that they neither are, nor in the nature of things can be, under the dominion of the law; that the worst thnt can be im puted to them, is a violation of co npact, for which they and not their citizen*, are responsible; and that to undertake to punish a State, by law, or to hold the citizens responsible for the acts ot the ritatr, which they are on their allegiance bound to obey, and liable to he punish ed as traitors for uisuuev in*. »• a «.«uc!ty unheard of among c ivilized nations; and destructive of every principle upon which onr government is founded. It is, in short a ruthless and complete revolution ofotir entire system I was desirous to present these views fully. b*-fors the passage of this long Pi be lamented bill; but as I was prevented hy the majority, as I have stated, at the nmencement of my reoiarks, I trust that it is not yet too late Having now said what I attended in relation to my first resolution, both in re ply to the Senator from Massachusetts, and in viniii- atiogj of its correctnffM, I ill now proceed to consider the copclu- sions drawn from it in the second reso lotion: that the General Government is not exclusive and finally judge ol the power delegated to tr, nut mat me states s parties to the compart, have a right to judge, io the last resort, of tho infrac of the rnmiiact. and of the mode and measures of redress. It c m scarcely he neeftssnry. before so enlightened i body, to premise, that oor system comprehends two distinct govern ni nts—the General nod ritai-*Govern ments. which, properly considered, form but one. The former, representing tho joint authority of the States in their con federate capacity; and the latter, that of each State separately. I have premised this fact, simply with a view of present ing distinctly the answer t.» the argument offered by the Senator from MhimcIiu setts, to prove that the General Govern meat has s final and exclusive right to judge, not only of its delegated powers, but also of those tesenred to the states That gentleman relies for his maio ar gument. on the assertion, that a Govern moot, which he defines to be an organ ized body endowed with both will and power, and authority in propria vigare, to execute its purpose, lias a right inherent ly to judge of its powers. It is not my io Utiiioa to rommea: upon the definition nf the Senator, though it would not be diffi cult to show that his ideas of Governmem ■re not very American %ly object is t« deat with the conclusion and not the deft oifinn. Admit, then that the Government has the right of j dging ol its ;>owers, Io* which it conteods. Ilow then will he withhold, upon his own principle, tii*> right of judging from the state govern ntent, which he ba* attributed to the ge neral government ? if it belongs to on* on his principle, it belongs to uoth—an i if to boti. if they differ, tne veto so ab horred by tbo Senator, is the necessary rouit; as •oiilh- r. if the righrbe possess ml by both, can control the other. The H’nator felt the forte of this ar gument. and in order to sustain his main position, he fiel back on that clause of the Constitu'ion, which provides, that this c nsftlution,..od the laws made in pur •uance thereof.shall be the supreme iar, of the land." This is admitted; no oae has ever de nied that the Constitution, and the laws made in pursuance of it,are of paramount authority. But it is eqo illv undeniable, that laws nof made in pursuance, ire not only not of paramount authority, tint are i.f no authority whatever: being of themselves null and void; which presents the que-uiun, who are to judge whether the laws be or be not puraqsnt to the Constitution; and thus the difficulty, in stead of being tak**n away is removed but uoe step farther back. This ths Hen itoralso lelt. and lias attempted to overcome the difficulty.by seting up on the pan of Gongress aod the Judiciary, the fiual and exclusive right nf judging, both for the Federal Government ffhd the states, as to the exten of ttyeir/powers. Chat I may do full justice to the gentle man, 1 will give his doctrine in hit own words, lie states: "That there is ■ supreme law, com- p •*»! of the Gonstitutu n, the laws passed io pursuance of it. and the treaties; but in '*s-es coming before Congress, not as* Burning the shape of cates in law and equity, so as to be subjects of judicial discussion. Congress must interpret the Constitution st often as it has occ »sion to pass laws; and in cases capable of assuming* judicial shape, the Supreme Courtroust he the final interpreter." Now passing over this vague and loose phraseology, I would ask the Senator, upon what principle can he concede this extensive powet to the Legislative and ju dicial «tv part moots,and withhold it en irely from the executive 1 If one has the right. But I coutend that the states have a far clearer right to the sole construction of their powets than any of tho departments of the Federal Government can have— this power is expressly reserved, as I had stated on another occasion, not only a gainst the several departments of iue Ge neral Government,but against the U.Statee themselves. 1 will not repeat the argu ments which I then offered on this point, and which remain unanswered,but 1 must be permitted to offer strong additional proof ol the views then taken; and which if I atn not mistaken, are conclusive on this point It is drawn from the ratifica tion of the Constitution by Virgini», and is in the following words. Mr. C. then read as follows— "Wc.tlte delegates of the people of Vir ginia, duly elected in pursuance of a re commendation Irotn the General Assem bly, and now met in Convention, having fully and Ireely investigated and discussed tl»c proceeding! of F ederal conven tion, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation bath eoabled us to deride thereon—do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, de clare and tnako known, that the powers granted under the constitution.b^iog do- may he resit ted hy them, whensoever the same shall be perverted to their inju ry or oppression,aod that every power not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will that therefore no right of any denomination can be cancelled,abridged, restrained, or modified by the Congress, hy the Senate or House of Represents tivesi acting in any capacity, hy rite Pres ident, or any department, or officer of tho United ritates. except in those instances in which power is given by the constitu this objection is, that the resolution of the General Assembly relates to these great and extraordinary cases, in which all the forms of the constitution may prove in effectual against infractions dangerous to the essential rights ol the patties to it.— The resolution supposes that dangerouv powers not delegated, may not only be u- surp *d and executed by the other depart ments, but that the Judicial department, also, may exercise or sanction dangerous powers beyond the grant of the constitu tion; and, consequently, that the ultimate right of the parties to ths constitution to judge whether the compact was danger ously violated, must extend to violations by one delegated authority, as well as by another; by the Judiciary, as well ai by iheExecutivc or Legislative." The Senator also relies upon the au thority of Luther Martin to the tame point, to which 1 have already replied so fully, on another occasion, fin answer to the Senator from Delaware, Mr. Clayton.) that I do not deom it necessary to add any further remarks on the present occa sion. But why should I waste words in reply to these ot any other authorities, when it has been so clearly established, that the rights of the states are reserved against all and every department of the Government, that no authority, in opposition, can pos sibly shake a position so well established Nor do I think it necessary to repeat the argument which I offered, when the bill was under discussion, to show that the clause in the constitution, which provides that the judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under this constitution, and to the laws and treaties made under its authority, has no hearing on the paint in c introver- sy; and that even the boasted (rower of the Supreme Court to decide a law to be unconstitutional, so far from be ing derived Irom tilts nr any other puitiuu of the constitution.results from the neces sity of the ease —where two rules of one qual authority come, in conflict—and it a power belonging to all couits, superior and infetior, state and gancral, domestic and foreign.
