they arc not new to the peopb ; whom 1 represent they present no new quetion here; for msdf, i confess th at I have thought tn'lHi upon this subjer t not for the purpose of making a spee h here--iot merely since 1 have been a m mber ot
ot Needing- state rights? Was there no
philanthropist or statesman in those davs to warn the people against adopting such political heresies, as were contained ia
this preamble? les.Mr. Chairman, there were, in those day s, such men as thetet they repreent. in glowing color, the same yes, the very same doctrines that are now contended for oa this floor. They contend lhaj the state had much better continue under the articles of Confedera tion, t.;m for the repplt to adopt a federal ons.itution. with 6Uch tremendous powers. s to authorize Congress -to provide for c common defence, and the general wel- '" c hut all to no purpose. It was believed that the people were capable of self goven.ment; that they would be more likely to ret together for the public good, than to destry each other Vvithout inducement. It was believed, that a government to do good, and to ''promote the general welfare," must have the power to act. The Convention said so; the People said so, and the unparalleled prosperity of theUnited States. unMer the exercise of thia power, enters a caveat against the confederation doctrines of the gentleman from Vir ginia, for such, Sir, I certainly consider them . We are tolc that we must put no cotlst ruction on the powers granted bv the Constitution to Congness. That we are to he confined to the original powers, and have no right tocotend for incidental powers. that we are to be confined to the letter ofthe Constitution, lf all this be true, then, in eed, is this government not enly as w eak and powerless as the exclusive tate right gentlemen, would have it, but i.i f.u t. it is no government at all, for, io none of the general or specified delegations of power are the means or incidental powers designated, by wMch the general powers can be made available in the administration of the Government. That I ma v be the better understood. I w ill present a more specific argument to tlie com. nvUce Com.ifatiou U. S. 1st Art. Gtb Sec "Congress shall have power to icgulate commcice with foreign nation?, and amongst the ;evcral states, and witb the Indian tribe?.'1 Now does not the power, here conferred, clearly authorize Congress to ue all the incidental powers which may be necessary to carry into complete ctTt ct the general pow ers here given? even admitting that there was no other clause in the same article expressly giving this incidental power, which, however there is. Sir.what has been done under this general grant of ower! You have enacted a code of laws, you have levied impost duties, you have protected a our own merchant vessels in their trade . gainst a foreign competition, you have established custom houses, you have erected docks, break water?, light houses, I uovb and beacons, and you collect your toll at those estal lihments; vou collect your light moncv from every vessel that passes in or out of port by your light houses. What,
Sir. is this bat erecting turnpike gates, and collecting loll under another name? Vou have established a penal code, and vou punish the v iolators of its prov isiens ia your U. Statet, Co'.irt, located to s'it y cur convetuet ce . All this is done under the general power to "regulate commerce with foreign nations f and I have heard co objection to the manner or extent of its exercise. Put the same clause gives you the "power to regulate commerce with the dif
ferent states, and the Indian tribes.11 Pocs not this pow er as clearly authorize you to make roads and canals between those states, to c:rv on this commerce ? to make
those persons who rat ry their merchandize on t'ae road to pay a toll f?r that privilege? -to protect the merchruit and hia merchandize by penal enactments? a the o (her power authorizes you to regu
late foreign commerce, in the manner vc
do? Por it cannot be contended that
commerce between the states is to v
