' Notes on the Situation.
BY B. 11. HIM,.
NUMBER XIII.
I have said in all eases of doubtful con
stitutionality the Executive Department,
could not become a court or judge in the
matter. Neither can Congress be a court .
But it was necessary there should be a li
mil arbiter, and, therefore, the Constitu
tion provided a third department of Gov
eminent, called the judicial. This judicial
power is expressly declared to extend to
all cases arising under the Constitution,
the laws of the United States and treaties,
Are., &c. B.ut here again differences have
arisen, and it lias been insisted that the
word “ cases" has a legal technical signifi
cation, and must be confined within it, and,
therefore, that the judicial power does not
extend to all questions arising under the
Constitution. This position was a favorite
one with persons of the strict construction.
State rights school.
When South Carolina declared tlie Tariff
Act plainly and palpably unconstitutional,
she refused to refer the question to the
court, but proceeded to nullify the act in
her borders. The Union men ajid Federal
ists iusisted that she should refer the
question to tlie Supreme Court as tlie final
arbiter, but South Carolina refused to do
so, insisting" that that State was an inde
pendent, separate sovereignty, outside of
the express powers granted to Congress—
that this was a political question, affecting
her separate sovereignty, and that she
would ndt permit any other power to sit in
judgment upon questions involving her sov
ereignty; that in this respect South Caroli
na stood to the United States as she did to
France or England.
It was supposed that the peculiar doc
trines of State rights had been decided by
the war against the position taken by South
Carolina, and that hereafter tlie Supreme
Court would become, what the old Union
men contended it was intended to be—tlie
final arbiter upon all questions arising un
der the Constitution, so as to leave no ex
cuse or necessity for an appeal to arms to
settle controversies between the General
Government and the States.
Georgia and Mississippi were the first to
get on the new idea. They did what South
■■■■ Mg' ■!*■.!!!—HU"LLiiL.L.J »' .■ ■ ■ .. , in « iVlMan^^p-■ -* ------ ", ' -
Sri-tUccliln cfustitutionaliot.
Carolina refused to do. They applied to
tin; Supreme Court (in, I think, a proper
case made,) to enjoin the enforcement of
hills palpably unconstitutional —admitted
to he so—in their borders. The reply was,
the question made is i\,'political question and
not a judicial case. The Supreme Court re
fused to entertain the jurisdiction, and thus
simply affirmed what was called the ultra
State rights doctrine of South Carolina. T
am glad the question was presented. lam
especially glad they were presented by
Southern States, showing a disposition
thereby to abide the decision claimed to
have been made hy the war, and to recog
nize an arbiter of future disputes short of
arms.
The decisions, therefore, so far from show
ing there is no remedy against these milita
ry bills, shows clearly the reverse. They
proceed on the very basis that the States
arc still separate political communities, and
as such it necessarily follows that their in
ternal domestic governments cannot be
abrogated, regulated, or interfered with by
Congress. Hence the way is clear for every
State, citizen, and corporation to make a
case and lest those military bills, when any
person, by their authority, shall Interfere
witli a right of property, or person, or of
liberty.
I, therefore, beg every citizen, black and
white, even the humblest of the ten millions
who inhabit these ten States, to remember
—never forget—that it his right—his glo
rious, unpunishable, unimpeachable riyht—
to resist eeery interference, hy any oflieer,
high or low, with his property, or his per
son, or his liberty, under these military
hills; and that each citizen owes il to every
other citizen and to his State, and to pos
terity and to constitutional liberty, to as
sert the right boldly and fearlessly against
every such interference. Nor have military
officers in sueli eases one particle more of
protect ion from such resistance than civil
officers. The hue is superior to all—is mac
ter of all; and the strength, the majesty and
the merit of the low make the citizen’s pan
oply in this issue. Hear what a distin
guished American writer says on this sub
ject :
“It is now settled in England and the
United States that an oflieer of the forces
who executes the unlawful order remains
personally answerable. If the highest in
command, the British monarch himself orders,
contrary t<> law, an officer to quarter his
soldiers 'upon, the citizens to annoy and op
press them, as Charles l. did, the officer re
mains responsible, in the fullest sense of the
term, to the tow of the load. All that lias
been gained by the arduous and protracted
struggle which began to show itself most
signally under Charles 1., may be summed
up in the few words, then the law shall he su
perior lo aU and every one and every branch of
the Government; that there i. ; no where a
mysterious, supreme and unattainable
power, which, despite of the clearest law,
may still dispense with it or arrest its
course. This is the sum total of modern
civil liberty, the great, firm and solid com
mon’s liberty.”
Our Constitution—our supreme law,
which no Congress, nor President, nor
other earthly power can violate or author
ize to be violated with impunity—is our
ruler our only ruler, and all the highest
office-holders—civil and military—are but
its servants and hound, under penalties, to
obey its commands.
Our Constitution declares
“ The privilege of the writ of habeas cor
pus shall not be suspended, unless when iu
cases of rehellion or invasion the public
safety may require it .”
“ No Pill of attainder or ex post, facto law
shall be passed.”
“The trial of all crimes, except iu cus- ■
of impeachment, shall he by jury."
“ No soldier shall, in time of peace, be
quartered iff any lime;,- without the consent,
of the O.vm v," l
“ Congress shall make no law abridging
the freedom of speech or of the press.”
“ No citizen shall he held to answer for a
capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless
on a presentment or indictment of a grand
jury.”
“ No warrant, shall issue, but upon prob
able cause, supported by oath or afiirma
lion.”
TJic.-e arc the commatah of the only im
perial power in America —the Constitution .
They are so plain that a wayfaring man,
though a tool, cannot err in reading them.
They cover every State ami Territory ami
province and loot of soil over which the
jurisdiction of the United States can possi
bly go. Yet every one of these positive
commands, and others besides, are violated
amt ordered to be violated by these tnili
tarv bills. They are, therefore, assaults —
unmistakable, I raitorous assaults—upon
the Constitution; and every man, woman,
or child or officer, fivil or military, in the
United States who votes lbi‘ these bills or
approves them, or accepts them, or executes
them, or passively submits to them, is an
enemy oj' the Constitution and an enemy of
every citizen whose rights are protected by
the Constitution. 1 care not what excuses
are made nor what pretenses are whined
out about the power of Congress and the
progressive Radical parly. Sueli pretenses
only show cowardice or the treasonable in
tent of those who use them. "The only way
to crush the Radical party is to bring down
upon it that power which is greater than
the Radical party—the Constitution. If
the President is a slave and bouud to exe
cute the orders of traitors, the people are
freemen and entitled to resist. The only
question, and, therefore, the only danger is,
have they the couraye to resist ? A freeman
should know no master but the law, ami
bend the knee to no earthly power but the
Constit.nl ion.
As the result of reason and settled au
thority, I affirm:
That every officer, high or low, who
seizes the property of a citizen under these
military bills, is a trespasser, subject to in
dictment and suits for damages as individ
uals.
That, every such officer who arrests a citi
zen under these bills is guilty of false im
prisonment, and subject likewise as an in
dividual; and is amenable to the writ of
habeas corpus before any court, State or Fed
eral, having jurisdiction to issue the writ.
, And if a single citizen, white or black, is
tried by a military commission and exe
cuted, the officer ordering the court, the in
dividuals composing the court, the counsel
prosecuting the case, the officer approving
and executing the sentence, up to and inclu
ding tlie President, each and all are guilty
of murder, and indictable in tlie county
where the crime is committed.
And I again beg our citizens, everywhere,
to assert these remedies, and assert them
fearlessly. Do not lie prevented by the
sickly, cowardly, criminal statements' that
the courts are prohibited from taking juris
diction. This is tiie poor defense with
which those authorizing the crimes have
sought to shield those sillv creatures who
may Obey them, and is itself unconstitutional.
Tlie power which cannot violate the law
cannot annul or escape the processes, or
remedies and penalties of tlie law.
Sue in damages for every injury; indict
for every crime. Be sure and include the
thieving treasury agents who were lately
stealing your cotton and other tilings. Sue
or indict in the county where the injury
was or may be committed. Whether de
fendants are present or absent, get tlie true
bills. Don’t let the lapse of time bar you.—
Whenever you see me at court, understand
that 1 will aid you without fee or reward.
Tlie written Constitution is my client, and
tlie preservation of its protection the only
fee i shall ask. The time for the law’s
triumph over passion will one day r come.—
If our people will now, everywhere, assert
these rights, not by again abandoning the
Constitution, but by claiming its remedies,
that time will come quickly ; and then we
shall demand the criminals wherever found,
and they will be delivered. It the President
himself should commit murder in the man
ner I have indicated, I do not hesitate to
say that I would urge atrue bill against him,
and demand him for trial when his term
lias expired. We owe it to ourselves, to
our childreeu, to free institutions, to teach
all, however high or low, who take advan-
tage of degenerate times like these, lo vio
late the great guaranties of the law, and
trample on the rights of the citizen, that
when the political spasm is over thay can
thul no hiding place from the law’s avenger
nor take shelter from its penalties any
where iu the jurisdiction of the Constitu
tion.
Let this generation tcacli this lesson uow
and teach it faithfully and well, and we
shall have no return of such periods of sor
row and crime for us or for our children. —
If we do not teach this lesson, then sorrow
and crime will increase their coming and
prolong their stay, because rogues will
steal; tyrants will oppress; little officers
“ will cut fantastic tricksand traitors
will use fraud and force to perpetuate their
power, just as often and long as they think
they can do so with impunity.
1 also earnestly hope the people of each
the ten States will go boldly forward, and
preserve and continue their existing State
governments, and hold all elections in the
manner and at the time prescribed by ex
isting State constitutions; will choose olli
cers qualified according to existing State
constitutions and laws, and by votes quali
fied according to existing State constitu
tions and laws. If any citizen or officer
shall be interfered with in exercising his
rights under these laws, or in discharging
tlie duties of any office to which he may be
chosen, let him make the issue fearlessly.
I would have them continue this until,
and even after, pretended constitutions may
be formed by deluded negroes and their de
signing inferiors under these military bills ;
and if an attempt were made to displace
existing constitutions and governments by
pretended constitutions so formed and offi
cers chosen thereunder, i would indict: every
officer so attempting to subvert existing
legal State governments, and 1 would have
our Governors or the Legislature (if in sess
ion) make application to the President, un
der the Constitution, to protect existing
State governments “against domestic vio
lence,” and thus compel the President to
decide whether lie is bound to displace by
force what lie admits to be existing legal
State constitutions and governments for
those he admits to be illegal, unconstttioual
and tyranical.
1 will add two important considerations
why our people should thus resist and never
consent lo these usurpations:
In the first place, if vve once allow these
new governments to become legally fixed
on us by our consent, we can never get rid
of them. The power will be in in the hands
of those who make and administer them ;
and, though destroy as they will, they will
hold on to their iniquity. It will also re
quire three-fourths of the .States to concur
in the adoption of the odious constitutional
amendment, but if adopted it, will then re
quire three-fourths of the Staten to yet rid of it.
But, in the second place, if, as is clem,
these bills are so grossly unconstitutional,
then they can never nc legally established
if we continue to resist them. Let us com
monce cases now, and continue eases as
fast and as often as they arrive, and if, even
after these military constitutions are trained
and organized, and have oppressed an un
willing people for years, the court finally
decides tiie acts authorizing them to be un
constitutional, then, unlike a case of oim •
between belligerents, everything done un
der them will be declared void—the wick
ed governments will be displaced, every
man who Jias administered them will be a
criminal, and our existing State Conslitu
tious will be restored to us.
Then w ill pat riots meet, again at Wash
in .lon and at every State capital, and,
gathering the records of these Kadical
traitors, and of all their State subordinates
together, will do, as our fathers in Georgia
did, when corruption had usurped power
and soiled our lioiyjr as a people once tie
fore we siill catch Jin from heucen, cud
horn th*>a >i>. ■ ktAjftimo - -Ml
If, then, «e yield now, otir r. .u. iyes are
gone and we are conquered'forever; but if
we refuse to yield, our remedies will con
tinue, and we can never be conquered.

success, for years, in the practice of the discoverer, was
he prevailed upon to offer the remedy to the public.
A Specific has been in Demand.
l’liysiciana, learned and skillml in the treatment ot

whom, witli hundreds of others equally incompetent,
are now scattered over the country pursuing their fatal
trade with criminal recklessness.”
To protect the public from incompetent physicians
and their extravagant charges, we place our medicine
within the reach of the afflicted.
Should any purchase, and, after a hill trial, not feel
benclittcd, they may write to us, describing their case
in full, and we will willingly instruct them how to use
the remedy to cure them. Properly used, it will cure,
yet, some few cases may prove unusually stubborn
and require a little varied treatment, and that such (if
there should lie any) may also be cured, we oiler this
instruction.
