| Senator johnson Versus Fessendcn ON
ReconstructIon-Wha IL tho Real
Questions
Hon. Reverdy Johnson's report from the
minority or democratic element of the Con-
| gressional Committee on Reconstruction, which
we published yesterday, is one Of that class Of
State papers the strength Of which is wasted
| in their length. Mr.. johnson seems to have
entered into this report with the idea that the
particular issue involved was his merits rs q
constitutional lawyer against Senator Fessen-
den, the author Of the majority report; and IL
must be admitted that, a. q mere professional
| lawyer, Mr.. johnson sustains bis reputation.
AS statesman. however, his light Is not SO
brilliant. His is the hair-splitting, constitu-
tional chop-logc Of Calhoun against the great
facts, general principles and broad conclusions
Of Webster. He wastes column on the "pro-
Htless" abstraction whether the rebellion did
or did not carry the States concerned out Of the
Union, to prove, what everybody knows, that
II did not; then he attempts to show that the
war power of the government was not used to
put down the rebellion and that it could not
be constitutionally used for that purpose; and
next he proceeds to argue that the founders
of the government "never intended to make
| the State governments subordinate TO the
| general government"
Here we find something Of the virus Of that
pernicious revolutionary theory Of Stat, rights
first started as party hobby by Jefferson, ~
enunciated in those famous Kentucky and Vir-
ginia resolutions of 1893 and 1899, and aban-
doned by him when they had served his pur-
pose, next to reappear in the State rights
movement OF the Hartford Convention Of
Blue Light Federalists. Then followed q
long rest from 1928 TO 1928, when Cal.
houn mounted this old Jenersonian hobby Of
State rights and pushed II to the verge Of null
LITIGATION and State rebellion against . tariff
law Of Congress. Calhoun, however, was
squelched by General Jackson on the tariff and
notification; and so the great Confucius Of
South Carolina proceeded to shape his State
rights distractions TO that other State rights
movement Of secession and armed rebellion.
