hO - ANSoSO ehoe Guy SsoeO SOA-
templated for one moment a
merger into a nation, or into
union, from which it had not the
right to withdraw whenever it
should find it expedient to do SO.
The hope and strength of the
Union under the Constitution lay
in the impracticability of any
State exercising this right The
only conceivable m9nner in
which it's exercise could be found
expedient would be in the very
event which occurred three
quarters of a century later; that
is, through an irreconcilable is
sue between the entire North
and the eutire South, and this
was forecast by Madison as the
only menace to the stability OF
the Union at the very time of its
formation.
The Virginia and Kentuc ~
resolutions as early as 1889, the
attitude and action of New Eng
land in 1903 upon the Louisiana
Purchase, the Harfort Conven
ton of 1914 and, in fact, innum
erable evidences from every
quarter, left no doubt as to the
understanding and Interpretation
of the Constitution by those who
framed it, those who signed it
and those who ratified it,
But l need 60 no further than
to quote from the speech of Mr.
Charles Francis Adams, a New
Highlander of New Englanders,
and distinguished descendant
of Federal President, delivered
before the New England Society
of Charleston nearly six years
ago, in which he used the fol-
lowing words: "When the Fed
eral Constitution was framed and
adopted-an indestructible un-
ion of imperishable States'-wha at
was the law of treason-to what
or to whom, in case OF final is
sue, did the average citizen owe
allegiance Was ii to the Un-
ion or to the State As pract-
ical question, seeing things as
they then were-sweeping aside
all incontrovertible arguments
and meta physical disquisilions
do not think the answer ad-
mits of doubt. 1t put in 17SS,
or, indeed, at any time anterior
10 1925, the immediate reply of
nine men out of ten in the North.
ern States and of ninety-nine
out of hundred men in the
Southern States would have been
that, as between the Union and
the State, ultimate allegiance
was due TO the State"
On the other hand. there had
been gathered into the hearts of
the people OF the States loye
for the wonderful Union and a
pride in its achievements, but it
was reserved to Webster in 1850
70 convert this growing love and
pride into liked allegiance. We
cannot read the marvellous pro
ductions Of calhoun and Web
ster without a reverence tor the
genius of both of these great
American giants, but ] cannot
rid myself OF the feeling that
Mr.. Webster was trying to fui
in the words OF the Constitution
that which he and his ENVIRON
ment wished them to mean, and
not that which the trainers and
the signers and the ratifers OF it
actually did mean.
The seed sown by that remark

fruit. The North, following tn
doctrines OF Webster, began to

tory, of the extent of the power
of the internal improvement, of
tariff and projections and of every
conceivable question but one,
and yet the Union was safe; but
that one was at hand
Curiously enough, Mr.. Web
s'er, upon whose utterances the
North builded its convictions
upon the questions of secession,
Was pronounced in his utteranc-
es on the rights Of the States
alone to regulate the question Of
slavery and on the evil OF the
abolition societies at the North
He says In his speech on "The
Exclusion OF Slaves from the
Tetri'ories,' delivered in the
Senate in lS4S: "There is an
other principle, equally clear, by
which | mean TO abide, and that
is that slavery in the States IN
which ii exists is matter of
State regulation exclusively, and
that Congress has not the least
power over it or right to inter.
fere with it. Therefore, | say,
that all agitations and attempts
to disturb the relations between
master and slave by persons not
living in the slave States are un-
constitutional in their spirit,
and are, in my opinion, produc
tive Of nothing but evil and mis-
ch ef."
And this from the apostle at
whose feet the North has sat for
more than quarter of ceptu-
ry, and from whose genius il
had builded its political faith

date freedom to the slaves, if
the Constitution had to be swept
away in the giving. No delay
was to be brooked-delay gave
no promise and humanity de.
manded immediate action.
1t was clear that the secession
OF the slave States would follow
and 1t was inevitable that war
would result. Where lay the
right and where the wrong?
Who shall say? There is one
thing beyond question, that both
the North and the South acted
from conviction, not lightly form
ed, but, with the North, born of
a laith that had no less than
Webster as its great apostle, and
nurturei and fed by love tor
the great Union it would share
with nothing else; while, with
the South, the faith OF the fran
ers, signers ana the ratifiers had
been handed down unquestioned
and the allegiance to the State,
which the foretathers so careful
ly preserved, was kept living

and eloquence of Calhoun and

Birthday Of the Republic.
Address Of the Hon. r. Ct.
Rhett at the Senatorial
Campaign Meeting in Lam
caster, July the Fourth, in
which He Stands Fast for
the Faith Of the Fathers.


Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and
Gentlemen: On this, the birth
day OF the Republic, it will be of
interest, and perhaps of some
profit, to look back upon the
past, and looking ask ourselves
In the South what OF the future ?
1t is beyond my memory, and
| suppose it is beyond that OF
most of my hearers, when the
voice of the South was felt, as
we'll as heard, in the councils of
the nation. With the exception
of the briet periods of MIR. Cleve-
lands administration the solid
South has been in the national
minority since '65, and more than
one third of the area and of the pop
ulation of this country has been
excluded from any real participa-
ton in its government. And yet
the issues between the two great
parties have so shifted that it is
difficult task to keep up with
the changes from year to year
Forged into compact union
for self-preservation, the white
population has cast its solid vote
practically year in and year out
for the Democratic party. 1t has
not mattered what were the plat
form or policies announced by
that party, there we're issues con
trolling all, besides which quest
ions of finance, tariff, trusts, CEN
tralization, imperialism and a
multitude of others pale into in
significance-issues that involved
tho very foundation OF our social
structure; that threatened the in
tegrity and stability of our local
government and the safety and
sanctity of our homes; issues the
weight and significance of which
our friends of the North andWest
appear to be just beginning to
underst and and appreciate.
Has any substantial progress
been made in these forty years
towards the solution of the prob
lens facing the South =! | think
so; but in order that you may
have clearer understanding Of
my reasons / shall ask you to
90 back with me while | briefly
review the steps which have led
up to the present.
When the independence of the
Provinces that united in war with
Great Britain was finally assured =,
and they cast about for the
means Of reaping the fruits OF
their victory and of protecting
themselves in the liberty for
which they fought, it is clear in
the light of every particle Of his
tory that has come TO US that they
were not prepared 10 form a ma.
tion-that they were not prepar-
ed to abandon their separate pro
vincial governments and join in
the foundation Of a national gov
ernment.
1t was equally clear they were
impressed with the necessity OF
some form of union that would
avoid the perpetual series of con.
tlicts that must inevitably follow
"A complete separation, or Il
breaFing up into groups, the end
OF which no man could toresee.
There is no doubt that some Of
those who participated in the
adoption of the Constitution
would have preferred to see it
made a stronger compact, but it
is certain that no State was pre-
pared to peacefully surrender its
sovereignty and merge itself into
a nation, and such a proposition
would have met unanimous re-
lection
