ApYERTIsING RATEs.
THE DAILY EMPIRE.
Secession al West Point

The following extract Is from the speech
lately delivered by Mr.. HARRIS, of Mary
land, in the House Of Representatives.
There was a time when but few denied
the right of secession. From the earliest
period of our Government IL has been as
serted and claimed. Great and ruling par
ties have proclaimed it States have sane
TONED It; statesmen of the highest ehnrac-
ter all over the land have avowed il (;
commentators on yOur form of Government
nave exponnded " and can any. one in
such q state OF iacts dare 10 denounce the
act of secession as treason In Government
of free opinion? The doctrine Of secession
was born with the Constitution. 1t became
n ruling principle with the ruling Demo
cratic party, inserted in their platform
from l79S TO the late war. New England
formerly determined TO practice it on an
occasion which she thought demanded Il.
Ohio, through her high officials aful ablest
statesmen declared her determination TO
adopt 1t. Josiah Quincy sanctioned 10.
John Quincy Adams, In d most FORMAL ad-
dress before the Historical Saeiefy 0f New
York, in 1899, most emphstleAll Hnhonneed
II AS the true doctrine,
But, sir, have alluded to this 1octfine Of
secession, not with the view OF defending
II at this time, but with wish TO INTRODUCES
an authority connected with fact which
Is known or recollected, expect to but
few. William Rawle, formerly Of Pennsyl-
vania, was one of the ablest lawyers In this
country. In 1894 he published Com
mentary on the Constitution, a work fire.
