WHEN CAVSBD Bl CATHARII

L N MARCH 24, 1865. SPEECH OF WML J. Hi. EDSERTOM. OF INDIANA. In tiif HofE OF 1 K PRE i STATIVE-. ro.XCLlDKD ) TLe doctrine oftJicgt'ntKtiian from l'cnu.ovlvuia, Mr. Stcveiis, tliat the state in rcbtlliou are in fart and in law out uf the union, h atKast consistent, if not sound. It i a doctrine entirely i censiitont rith the inilejn it iu-e of the southern cotifederary, an ilca inch we hate repalia!ed at the co-t t'f ivm of Uoö'l. If the rcU-llioas txitcs an- in the union, under the constitution, and in a I cal ne there U no other union, they are there a utes, with all their 'constitutional rieht? siti'li uniniji.i'rtd; the war j-owcr can touch onl v their claim of riht not consiitutional. j If they are cut of the unin, hut 5u!ject to our jMjwer over them as their conjuerers in war, l in coniuertd, their territory merges inti the tnafsof national territory, arid may Lc treated and povemed a mch; not. however, by nn unlimited military discretion. lut to the extent of the constitutional power of the federal civ eminent over it j territories; not othe rwise. But, ?ir, on this question of the relations of the revolutionary states to the federal government I accept tlie doctrine of President Lincoln in his inaugural t-f March 4, 1861, and Lave only to regret that after so clear and ?ound a atenif nt of contitutional law and pood intentions, the president ha since, in direct conflict with hi own teaching and oath, 'come to the same conclusion" with the irentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Stevens. The preiJent, on the 4th day of March, 1SG1, arnonjj many other things which it cfinnrt row he pleaunt for him or hi- admirer tn refer to, said : 4T take my ollicial oath to-day with no mental reservations, an.! with no purpose to construe the constitution or liws bv anv hviiercritieal r I ruies. lie further said : "I hold thnt in contemplation of universal law and of the constitution, tlie nnion of these rtates is perpetual." lie further suid "It follows from thet-o icui, that no ftate, upon its own mere motion, rati lawfully j;et ut i ! of the uninn; that resolves and ordinance to that iellVct are legally void, and that acts of violeix-e within any state or states against the aufhority of the United States, are insurrectionary or it vi olutionary, a; cordini to circumstance's. ,r j lie further said : "1 therefore consider tliat in vi-'u of the eons'ltntioii aid the law-;, the union ot tliee states ii unbroken, and to the extenf of mv ability, 1 shall take care, as the Constitution it-elf enjins upon me. t.ie laws of tlie union he faithfully executed in nil tlie täte-." This is the only theory consistent vith the true constitutional idea that the federal utiion U a perpetual union of states, aud th tt each state, as. an inliviiluid member of the unum, has m itsoif the uni: clement of perpetuity that luloncs to tue ti'n rate rejublic lonned hv that federal uni m of t-tatvs. The union ran c hcM to be t t-eriM tual onlv on the iiinoiil that tho states Tm;osinjj: it nre jurpetual corjMirntios or bculk ulitic, anl indstnictiMc lv anv act of the a:reurate ho.l y or by their own art ; otherwirP consolidation, not union, is th? fundamental nrinciiilc f the tedcrftl ronstitntion ; ami this ilea, the lanua-c, tho . spirit, lh.? history of the eon-tkution, nil repudiate. The statt united cannot destroy a single state; power to do that is power to consolidate the states into one. A inIe state cannot destrov the union ; power to do that U power to secede : and neither consoli dation nor secession are principles of the union What, then, i to He done in the ca-e of a state whos3 tunctions have been suspended cr di? tarhed bv rebellion or other force, after the ille gal force ho-tile to the United States and lawful state povcrnment, nas teen overcome ana re moved; there bein no state ofiicer having the riht to exercise the functions of state jrovcrnment? Is the federal ovornment to intervene and set up a new government, make a new conti tution, as rropoed in this bill? Not o. In the absence of lawful state functionaries, from what ever cause, the functions of state jrovcrnmcnt re vert to the people in their primary riirht, as the source of the government. The" life, the vital powers of the state are in them, and all thev have to do is, by concert of action, conformable so far as may be to the necessity of the case and the organic law of the state, to chooe new functiona ries, new officers, new senators, and representa tives in courrra.', and thus set the dormant or suspended jrovernment airain in moti i in har mony with the government of the United States. All this can be done without the initiative action. or co-operation, or even presence, of a single fed eral otficer wTthm the state. I hs sovcrciiintv of a state as to its internal atfairs, is ia its pcopl ?, The question of the rccoimition of that saver etgntv, in anv form in which it mav be presented to the federal govemmTt for recognition, is a jolitical, not a judical question, and is not to be decided by abstract theories, but by the tests of the constitution. o tcdcral act is indispensable to make a state government, reorganized by the people in the mode I have supposed, complete, except recognition by the proper pohtieal author ity of the federal government, namdv, the con press; ami the onlv proper inquirv is, "Is thb povcrnment republican in form? Was it estab lished by the people conformably to their own laws? Is it faithful to and in harmonv with the con.-titution of the United States;" I will not sav that Cicts may never exist to jus tify action bv the k-dtrcl irovcmm nt in harmonv with and uhordi-late to the will of the people of the state, but they cannot justify it in dictating organic changes, when no connct exists between the organic law of the state and the constitution of the United States. The action of the federal government, in anv extreme ca-c iti-tifving in intervention, mu-t le subsidiary to täte law. not paramount to them. It cannot, as did un Banks, declare a state constitution anu laws void utiles the constitution of the United States, or laws pas.i-.i pur-nant to it, mate them void. The principle, the eser.tial character, of this question is not elianjreü, whethvr t!ie temporary overthrow ot the lawful state government arises from th acts of a foreign enemy, or from internal or do mystic violence.
