undcr il thrn the corrts ran correct
the error never heard of an in
stance in which anv citizen. or consid.
lcrohIo nuphcr of citizens Of thn
North have claimed that the courts
|coull not declare unon the constjtu-
tionalitv of norsonaI liberty bills
| They ail arrcc in thc North that it is
tLn rirht and tho du.v of the states to
obey The duly rendered judgments of
fine roprts understand that they
/ |hava ALWAYS been wiIlino. to submit
their laws f. the adindication Of fine
cnnrts
Int history furnishes = memorable
I instance IN wbi,r ono ur +hn States nr
/ the Union uron fine arnlication Of the
nronln Of another State refused to
tcst tLc validity or constitutjonaIjty
of thri, own laws in thnir own ronrts
| alDulr. sir :, the case Of South Car
ol;na whom Mr. Uoar was sent thcrc
os = commissioner ON tno mart Of Mas
.sorhnse+ts +, tos+ thc ronst;tutionali.
Itv of a law of South Garulina she
refused to submit to the arbitramcnt
of the courts, and drove Mr.. IIoar
from her limits. rcpcat. then, what
/ | have said that the Constitution and
the laws passed in pursuance thereof
must be rrcoguiz.d As paramount and
supreme to state laws before we can
arrive at any full settlement of our
,nrrsput difficulties and this the COM
mittro in q orr9t measure. seem t.
have lost sight Of.
The committee dcplore the evils
which are upon us. The President OF
the United States in a rccC ut message
deplored the secession Of States as a
great evil. His argument was an able
one against the right of secession,
but he proposed no remedy for it
he acknowledged no remedy for it.
Aud like the Presilcut-I say it with
great rcspert-the committee, while
dcpIoriny Unauthorized acts, assert no
power in the Government to rcprcss
such acts but oplv request the States
to acsist. Al! have to say is, that
any plan Of compromise or settlement
which does not recognize the para.
mount power Of the Constitution ant
laws. viii not reach the evil So much
complained of. Without fundamen.
tai recognition Of tie superior author,
ity of the Federal Constitution, this
Union becomes mere myth, and the
Government a sham.
| regard the slavery question as
secondary in Importance to the prctcn
dcd right Of peaceable secession
