iSn, aud will promote toe public good"
M. MILES asked that he might De allowed to close
the debate on the bill, which granted
He stated that he only desired to reply to the many
objections which had been urged Agains; the bill TIE
main objections were three in nber. GA the grounds
6rst OF consduuo1sli secondly, expedencyi thirdly,
as a measure of necessity.
As TO the fist point, constutionalty, he would but
cav that he Himself had at fs s)me doubts the sub
ect but now is done away Il, and he did rot be-
leye there was q in the s. Wno did not nov c IN
slider tha. there was little g,ould Tor constitutional oh
scton.
A to the OH ction which had been urged that It was
nexp enI 10 place so much power in the hands OF h1
Government; lest il might be used as q means Of subju
eating the States ana establishing despotism. Tah
was mere chimera OF The brsln and the idea OF sue
cessfu attempt TO establish or control depo ism and TO
subyert he Government a libel on the South.
Tee Speaker refeIrd TO the instance Of The rssolu-
ion of Parliament, which declared the throne OF Elg
,nd vacant in fAycr Of William of Orange aud submitted
the arguments in that applying 10 the present
case.
We hould not now be SO particular as to mere Ioin
of cons.itutionaty, when toe cJunrys Taiety was {
st,ke. Il too much Ike the case OF the poor ola
Spanish King, who allowed to roast 10 death, be.
cause no one had the constitutional power to lay hAnes
o him and remove him.
He would not have made such srgum snt this in
thu Congress of the United States, becs1se there q e
South bad to guard against her bittsrss. bes but
il was dHerent-We had common caus1 for which to
fight
the minds Of the people, # tho States allowed to
* ,rcise tho ght OF exemption.
We should uOw throw all our energies into the wHk.
