/ DEAR SIR: There is no instance in the
British Parliament of refusal to hear q
party in assertion Of his rights, Dor in any
country where civil liberty exists do
Courts shut the door in. the face of implo-
lrators for Justice, except in the United
States Senate. State Sovereignty has be-
come empty words in the mouths of Its
present friends-is clovcn down in its very
sanctuary by its own high priests. and
Justice. the great pillars of the whole So
cial fabric. denied a sovereign State.
Messrs. Bright and Fitch have not the
chivalry to conrt criticism of their title
although repudiated and disowned by the
State. and charged with procuring Their
commission in violation of the Constitu-
ton, and under false and fabricated Jour-
nal, that tho Senate joined the House in
convention.
The Senate will make the humiliating adj
mission Of its impotency to protect States
rights and insist that this impoiency is in
duced by its own act, an estoppel self cre-
ated. qualification self urged; that it has
abdicated the power to pr eserve its integ-
rity, that it can adulterate its organism with
foreign clements, but cannot Spurge itself,
Ttlat it has power to wrong a State, but
not to redress those wrongs Instead OF
vindicating the decision by argument it
takes refuge from criticism behind the in
fallibility Of votes.l < -
You will recolect that one Of the argu-
ln,ents tn seat, Messrsl Bright iandl Fitch
WAS tliatthe State did not deny their title,
that this was a tacit acknowledgement
away. and the denial will work like con-
sistent action.
The late lamented Butler, whose States
Rights doctrines were inspired by the
teachings of Virginia and Caro- ina $ ia

tions to Estate" exigencies--nor his con-
sisiency to opposite action in parallel ca

courtesy of on oral argument would be al

been published. and submitted il. to. the

serfs of party principle to party success.
