eral authorities, under the Constitution as it Is,
| dtsclain power 10 recognize the withdrawal of
any, state from the Union, and consequently to
served only To the States as parties to the Govern
ment compact to take lawful action touching
| them. sA
On motion of Mr.. PaRsroy, the COMMITTEES
/ referred back TO the sth resolution, which was
read by the Secretary as follows
Ths RsHplss Of ssSosaiss .as Ans, m
consent OF the governed, aud they coneede the
right of the people OF the several States OF this
Union. for Just causes: TO withdraw from their
| association under the Federal Government with
| the people Of he other States, and 10 erect
| governments for their better security. and they
| will never consent that the 1oderal power, which
| Is in part their power, shah be exerted for the
| purpose Of subjugatng the people of such States
| to the Federal authority.
| Mr.. CARLILE moved TO amend by striking
! out all after the word and" in the Sd line
and insert in lieu thereof the following:
- in the language of Virginia's illusirious
| statesman, James Madison, whom the people of
| Virginia have been taught to venerate aud revere
as the wisest. safest and truest expounder of the
Constitution which he SO largely contributed to
| construct, That that instrument makes the Gov
| ernment to operate directly on the people places
| at its eommand the needfu physical means of ex-
| premaCy, and that OF the laws made in pursuance
of il. over the Constitution and laws of the States
ard subject to the revolutionary hts of the peo
pie in extreme cases that political system does
| not provide Tor peaceabls and authoritative ter
| mination Of ext sting controversies would not be
| more than the shadow OF d Government, the OBJ
| ieet and end OF real Government being the sub
s:tution of law aad order for uncertainty, confu-
| sion and violence thai In the event OF a failure
| OF every constitutional resort, aud an accumuia
tion Of usurpations and abuses, rendering passive
| obedience and non Resistance greater evil tha u
| resistance and revolution, there remain but
Que resort--the last Of allan appeal from the can
| constitutional
| the original rights and the law of self p-eserva-
tion. This is the ultima ratio Of all GOVERNMENTS
| whether consolidated ,confederated, or compound
Of both: 1t cannot be dou oted that single
ber OF the Union, in the extremity suppos ed but
in that only, would have the right as an ultra and
constitutional right, to make the appeal"
Mr.. CARLILE, in urging the adoption of this
amendment said IL was the embodiment of
one of the resolutions offered on the 10th of
March, by the gentleman from Marshall
| (Mr. Burley| He contended that the resolu-
ton reported by the Committee proclaimed 4
| political heresy. Mr.. CARLILE opposed the
| right of peaeeable secession, out and out.
Mr.. WISE replied, giving the mover of the
| amendment pretty severe raking. He main
| tanned that the resolu tion, reported, or
| something declaring the same sen timents
| should be adopted by the Con vention.
| Mr. CARLILE expressed his surprise al the
| argument of the gentleman from Princess
Anne for in identifying him (Mr. Carlile)
| with leaders of the Black Republican party,
| he also identified the author of the sentiment
| James Madison.
NJ. WISE, (sotto roce NO, sir. I've heard
the devil quote Scripture before.
| MIR. CARLILB proceeded. without noticing
| the compliment, (Which was not intended for
| him. and finished his argument.
| The vote was then taken on the motion to
strike out, and resulted as follows:
