men, like the gentleman from Massachu-
setts, have argued that this matter was ex-
clusively in the power of the States. The
Supreme Court have said otherwise; and in
one case the minority have said that it is
concurrent, and that when the power is de-
volved on the Federal authorities that law
which devolves it is of paramount Oblga-
ton. Will the gentleman stand by that?

of the United States. 1t is not the doctrine
of the party of the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts. The President in his inaugural
gave to the Supreme Court the benefit of
| his opinion of their authority in such mat
tiers. The Republican party was built on
| the idea that the Constitution should be in
terpreted according to the peculiar idea or
conscientious conviction of each individual.
| And one of the chief causes of our troubles
to-day is that very idea, nursed in Massa-
chusetts and other States, that they would
interpret all laws to suit themselves. Re-
gardless of Federal laws passed in pursu-
ance of the Constitution, they began that
nrnctical nullifcation which SECESSION so
