DEBATE ON THE "HIGHER POWER"
In tn. Senate of the United States, July DC, 1880

In the Senate OF the United States July 4 1850.
Mr.. Seward having delivered speech in sup
port of his proposition to admit New Mexico as
State
Mr.. PRATT. | desire to say a word, sir, as to
what conceive to be the most extraordinary prop
osition ever submitted to this body. apprehend
that such a proposition would not have emanated
from any other source than that from which it has
come. ] feel confident that when the yeas and
nays are taken, as intend to move before take
my seat that they shall be, the Senator from New
York Mr. SEWARD will stand alone because am
sure that there is no other member of this body
who has at least advanced openly to the body his
utter disregard of the Constitution and his oath
TO support il. Upon two occasions, as il is known
to every member Of the Senate, the Senator from
New York has announced here that from the
origin Of this Government there have been two
organized principles, warning one against the
other, which must result in the course Of time in
the destruction by the more powerful Of those
principles Of the other. The principle of human
liberty, as he terms il, and the assumption in the
Constitution of the universal equality of man, he
has avowed to be the higher law, which he feels
himself constrained to obey, although it may con-
iict with the express provisions of the Constu-
tion and his oath to support that instrument. For
example, he believes and admits that the Constitu-
ton Of the United States positively prohibits the
Congress of the United States from sbolishipg
slavery within the States, Yet inasmuch as this
higher law, this principle of human liberty, comes
in conflict with that constitutional prohibition, he
says that he should be bound by this higher law
and he would disregard the Constitution of his
country he would disregard the oath which he
has taken to support 1t before he took his seat
here; and he would vote for that admitted uncon-
stitutional act--the abolition Of slavery within
the States of this Union. think then, Mr.. Pres
ident, that am right in assuming that no other
Senator upon this floor would have offered the
proposition upon which ! am now about to CON-
ment; because it 10 In every one Of its features
directly subversive OF every constitutional pro-
vision in reference TO the formation of States
Mr., SEWARD Qnterposing) Will the Senator
allow me word Of explanation?

Mr. SEWARD. Mr.. President, distinctly deny

tanned one solitary prilGlpf ell the principles
which have been put outh and charged
upon me by the ssnstd Maryland.
MIR. PRArr. Why, 81, then the honorable
Senator should be very much obliged TO me for
giving him AN opportunity Of denying what is
universally believed here Does the Senator deny
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1850-08-22

that he has said and reiterated here that there is
law above the Constitution, which he felt oouno
to obey3 Does he deny thatl
Mr. SEWARD. Yes sir, deny that.
IMr. s. states that he understood MIR r. 10 nave
added the words, "when it conflicts with the Con-
sttution," and replied accordingly
Mr. PRATT Then sir, he denies, MIR. Presl-
dent what every man knows be has said. nave
heard him say il over and over again; ana the
Senator's denial does not make untrue what
assert | have heard him say, that there was a
