this very proceeding.
The iramc,a OF our Constitution never dreamed
that ;hey wcre making Constitution io' any
other country than ous own, 10 bind US Tor beiler
and troySe to the destiny Of any 70 eisn Power.

the People only can do TINS, by he provisions
made fra change Of Constitution. This is emf
nently Steics' Rights question. he dealt out
no threats OF disuniun. Such threats had b'en
the abundant production of other soils than ,hns-

if any thGg could ab.olyc the States from IN al

uuconstitutonsiity OF the proceeding his
House has no right TO make any bargain cr CON-
pact with a foreign power 1t may provide for
carrying out the provisions OF Treaty. Our

and these the smallest STATES, may forbid any al
lance with a foreign power. This resolution is
a Treaty it is in the very words of tho rejected
Trcaty. The gentleman who introduced 1t SAID
that il was Il compact or bargain between two
| Nations. To which Goth must agree. What Is Il
Treaty unless tins be one After answering sew
