her own Constitution and acts, or will the
Senate, under any pretense, blot her out OF
the confederacy, and realize all of those fears
portrayed by some of the trainers of the Con-
Stitution by an absorption of, and encroach-
ments upon, State rights?
The legislative power enshrines and pro-
tects all rights subject to its jurisdiction
Prior to the confederation the several States
owed this duty to their citizens. They did
not surrender it. but intrusted it to the Fed
eral for their better protection, with the
right guaranteed them of voice in the
Senate, as a means of enforcing this duty
through the Federal instrument -.s--r
We deny that, under a constitutional
grant of power, with prescribed modes ofits
exhibition, you can discriminate between
elections and laws. The selection of Cen
erai, upon whose skill the fate of an army
or the country may depend, or of Judge,
upon whose legal attainments and integrity
the lives, liberties and property of the citizen
may depend, is of less moment than some
petty law.
The same power is as requisite to the crea-
ton of the one as the other ...l
But it may be said that this question is
res adjudicata.
We deny that our rights or titles are
barred by decision had before they acere
created -...-.A ... .-.
We deny that the Judicial power of the
Senate is capable of self-exhaustion. We
deny that the political right of the State
is capable of annihilation, without ami
hilating the Constitution which creates the
right.
We insist that the right to judge of the
election and qualification of members must
continue while the term continues.
The qualifications are continuing condi-
tions of title el
We deny that courts are ever estopped by
their own actio-.
We deny that sovereigns are estopped.
We deny that Indiana was, prior to this
time, party to the proceedings of the Sem
ate, or had opportunity to allege or elicit
the true facts.
We deny the power of the Senate, under
the power to judge, to create Senators for
Indiana. -
We claim for her a superior knowledge of
her own scts and grants.
We insist that the simple admission of q
Senator to his seat upon credentials is a
decision, and that it was never pretended
this precluded his custer if his title were not
good.
If the Senate have not power to exclude
foreign elements at all times, ii is not equal
to the duties intrusted to its guardianship.
And we will not believe that the Senate
is the only tribunal ON earth whose wrongs,
once done, are eternal and irrevocable.
