The Copperhead Dem gcracy for
state SovcreIGuty

The Copperhead Democracy of the
North have been in favor of State Soye.
reignty from the start and as a couse.
quence they have denied the right OF the
Government to maintain its authority
over the seeding States by force of arms
Their President, James Buchanan. in his
annual message in December, 1850, dis
tinctly announced that position in the fol.
lowing unequivocal terms:
"The course Of events is so rapidly
fastening forward that the emergency ma y
soon arise when you may be called upon
to decide the momentous question, wheth.
er you possess the power, BY force OF
erus' TO compel State to remain in the
Union. ] should feel myself recreant to
my duty were not to express an opinion
on this important subject.
"The question fairly stated is: Has the
Constitution delegated to Congress the
power to coerce State into submission.
which Is atts mptng to withdraw, or has
actually Withdrawn. from the Confedera-
cy! If answered in the affirmative. it
must be on the principle that the power
has been conferred upon Congress to de.
clare and make war upon State. After
much serious reflection, l have arrived a,
the conclusion that no such power has
been delegated to Congress, or to .ny
other department of the Federal Govern.
ment."
And the leaders and organs of the party
endorsed it IN their brief motto, "no CO.
ercion." and BY their practical opposition
to all the war measures of the Govern
ment. from that day to this. It follows
as logical consequence from this posi-.
ton, that the war to preserve the Union
was unconstitutional, and that the sove.
reign States of the Confederacy are still
entitled to take their own course.
