the courts, the ballot box, and the system
Of checks and balances growing out of the
different construction of our Senate and
House of Representatives. If these fail,
outside of the Constitution, if the grievance
be intolerable, and no other hope left, we
have the universal right ofrebellion. These
are our safeguards, and | have the strong
assurance that without resorting to the last
terrible remedy, the former will, in the end,
proce sufficient to secure all our rights.
Maryland has no more right to secede
froll the Union than Florida, or Louisiana,
or California. The ri ghts of all the States,
old.and new, are equal. This is the ad-
mittcd doctrine Shall Florida, or I4ouisi-
ans or California, have the right to secede
fro:n the Union on the ground of State
aovereignty, or Of reserved State rights ?
We bought the first two with the money Of
the General Government, and California
we acquired by the old fashioned process O.
conquest. All that these three States have
-ssheir lands and all their rights-they got
from the Government of the United States
[ admit they are equal to the old States,
and no more, and the old States are equal
to them, and no more. But surely right
of secession cannot be claimed by any one
of the three States named and if not by
them-it cannot be claimed by any other
State, because all the States are equal
have heard much for some years past
about the so ceTcign States of this Union
1t IS the fashion Of the day to speak of our
States as soreretgn;; though it is conceded
that State cannot have an army or navy,
or declare war Or make peace, or make trea-
ty with a foreign power or with another
State, or have ambassadors, or lay duties
on imports, or coin money, or pass any laws
in violation Of the Constitution of the United
St.tes or the acts Of Congress passed pur-
usnt thereto. The several States, no doubt,
have reserved all rights of legislation, &C.,
Which have not been granted to the Gener-
al Government. But is it not an abuse of
lar guage to call the State sorereign? Icall
yo II attention to this view because | believe
the contrary doctrine has prevented the en-
fol cement of the Fugitive Slave law by the
stlpng hand of the national power The
Stsses. most deeply interested in the execu-
tioa Of that law have, for many years, had
the executive Of the country of their own
selection but they were unwilling to enforce
Of Northern States, - : .,ll1.ilIs .sss
same results might be brought home to tnem-
selves, in regard to void Legislation Of a
different description. The truth is, the
General Government should enforce, if ne
eessary. with the whole power Of the Union,
all its laws passed in pursuance of the pro-
visions Of the Constitution, in the North and
in tae South, in the East and in the West,
without regard to the laws of any State
passed in contravention thereof. This is the
ancient doctrine-.it is the true doctrine.
