call forth the militia for tho purpose OF sup
pressing such insurrectiOn, or OF CRUISING
the laws to he duly executed whether IL
was or was no. the purpose OF th's Jaw 10
enlarge the scope Of the act OF 1'0o' Is not
now "a matter % any consequence. ProD-
ably it was understood Mt the time OF It's
passage that insurrection' and "obstruc-
ton ~ the laws OF any State,' meant the
same thing, namely, such concerted re-
sistnnce to the laws as amounts to an insur-
rection against the Government of the
State. IL certainly did not mean that in
any case OF violation of the State laws by
personal crimes, not amounting 10 insur-
rection against the State Government, the
President was TO be authorized to call forth
the militia or to use the army for this
would be entirely unauthorized by tho
Constitution, aud would be a palpable
usurpation of the prerogatives of the
State.
But part only OF this law of 1907
has been reunacted in the Revised stat
utes, namely, the part which authorizes
the President to use the army rs well as
the militia in suppressing "an Instruction
in any State against the Government there
off, The somewhat equivooal phrase - OBJ
struction to the laws OF any State is left
out of the Revised Statutes, for the obvious
reason that insurrectiou III any State
against the Government thereof compre-
hends the only case in which tho Constitu-
ton authorizes Federal interference;
whereas obstruction TO the laws OF any
State" might be claimed to include any
violations or breaches of law that are less
than Instruction. The Revised Stat
utes, section 5,297, is the only existing law
on the subject; aud although 1t authorizes
the President TO use the army in any case
of insurrecton in any State against the
Government thereof" it certainly does
not authorize the use of the army
to remove obstructions TO the laws
OF the States which are nothing but
simple crimes of personal nature.
The vice and the trick of the proc
lamation consist in the assertion that
by laws passed in pursuance of this par
ticular clause Of the Constitution, the
President is authorized to employ the
army in all cases of instruction in any
State, or Of obstruction to the laws there
off, This is absolutely untrue. The very
phrase obstruction TO the laws" OF a
state was left out Of the Revised Statutes
by Congress, pvOaueo u its Nap~Aiiiiy OF
being so construed rs to work a palpable
u,urpation. But it has been employed in
this proclamation in order to reach case
in winch it cannot be pretended that there
Is any insurrection in the State against its
! Governments SO that we have the army Of
the United States, on the eve Of Il Presi-
| dental election, sent bodily INTO State,
upon the pretence of suppressing crimes
which cannot be controlled or suppressed
10y tue ordinary course Of justice" No
more outrageous usurpation could possibly
be committed. The army Of the United
states is quartered upon South Carolina
for n purpose that the Constitution doe:
not justify, and under the cover OF q
| phrase in an old law that has been DELHI
erately and wisely discarded from the
present laws of the United states.
