With t iw exceptions,, they are allwrg r r9." is it not a little sin that with these propeisities for war and blood-with all these chival mwpulses-they should yet Shirink assertion of a right unless Eo nets will adit its peacefill amuave Sir, know maen in the riks of the "submissionists" who, whenever th feel the heel of the oppressor up Ot tai U&ka, will not Stop to iiuire 46ether they have the right to t 11rto1w oftAhaive all they will not beg to remove itpeaceably. The right #Arenolution,..sir is the manly right; &if that right only do I admit. We are told that authority for the i-it ofsecession is to be found in t he iewohagons of '98 and '99. So muan y en have sought to sustain absurd theo IiI.iy referring to these resolutiotis, inI1presume we ought not to be sur wrsed, even at this last and weakest httempt of all. Nor in this age of pro SWit wondered at that the wisdom Mtho disciple. should fiar ont-run that. bf the teacher; John C. Calhoun and toorge McDuffie examine'd the reso Latmof'98 and. '99 for the right of aeession,, and could: not fuid it. They :kd, as they thought, nullification; . n11ficatmin is. itslf IL delnial of se . esson. We all know that some of he ablest efforts made by both ofthese titatmen- was to establish that iulli m was the. rightul remedy. Sir, it 'was ttether- the Virginia nor- the mntdcky resolutions which gave birth *3 seia. It. has colmie dowi to us gm a l'ess respectable parentage.

That, odious as arte the ~verning principles ot'South Carolinam, we cannot wvithhold from her the prais Iustly due for consistent mnaintenlance *?thea right .of secessioni by a single Sate-a right vital to liberty, and the &nly safeguard of the several severeign tfri from a grasping cent ralizat ion." Sir, here is a singular concord of' sentimeont. Southern Rights el inha, Soth,. and' Abolition conIventieles, Nortir, eiving us the same actfinition of -.state rights, and teaching Demnocracy from the same horn-book. I repudiato the,teachersq, anid deny the orthodoxy - t the creed. 1Ei'. President, a friend has just loefsuggestion to ineC, of' whic-h I gladly- a'vati miyself. The State of' -F ouisiana was purchased from the French; it waspaid for by taxes col leoted from the p~eople of-the whole re a ubli.. It was purchased, not onI ae *eount of'any snpposed.value-ot. the ter Aso;, for at that day we supposed( we -ad. tet-ritor'y enough for all our wns hut- to secure tlie navigation (of the' 3Mississippi. The people of' someL * twelve or thirteen States are inte'reste'd - pnnintaining that navigation free.

It' Louisiana altiuld still insist upon haer right as a * * the answer on the other' side would be weryapt' to be, "providled you can." Let us take the case of Pennsvlvania 015 New York, whose local plositiona is * sneyi as to divide the repulic into two dIstinct parts. Does any one supjpose fiat.either of those great States wonl he permittedi' peaceably to leave the -UnIon, and subject us to all thir enoln Anjences of such a division.? Sir, this d'oatrine of peaceable Secession, by a* single State is as wild a vision as ever' -aunted the br'ain ofa umoonstruck poli tralen. All- rights, whether political or personal', are relative'. All r'ights . aeto hetV exorcised with r'efirrence to, tifo amoulnt of injury inflicted on others. i fotman hasq a. right to burn down his R~oq~e; I.~j so doing hoe emdangers' e. No p State hams a right so to reinuinder. I refer, of course, to the peaceable right. The right of revolu tion, the right of resistane* to oppres. sion; is governed by no rules, and must be Idet'ermined by the necessitios of I promised to refer to . the opinions of thu. fruinrs of the. Constitution. I .quote first at extract fromu the pen of Mr. Jay. It is in the second number of the Federalist: "It'is.worthy of remark, that not aly the first, but every succeeding Congress, as well as the late Con veition, have invariably joined with thle eople inthinking that the pros perity of America depended on its union. To preserve anI perpetuale it wis tie great object of the people inl finiirg that convention, and it is also the great object of* the plan which the coiventiun has advised therm <to 1idop't." Mrr. .J1y here tells his countrynein, while urging the adoption of the Coji Stituitioln, tiha its great object is to preerve atid perjpetate the Union; and Cam it he Conceived that lmeli luiving such objects should have a inere rope of sand-that, they should have sown ilt the Coiititut ioit itself the seeds of its ownt destruction! And uniless we do give Credence to an ab suu'dity like tids, what. btcomies of the consti tuti onal right of secession? In the 41st nunnber of the Federal ist, Mr. lahdison, after cninerting the evils of disunion, proceeds thus: "h'is picture of the col-sequences of' disuioni cannot be too highly colored. or too often exhibited. Everv man wio loves peace, eveiry Nn who loves Ls country, every 1nan who loves liberty, ought to have it ever' before his eyes, that he inay cherish inl his heart a due attachinlent to tile Union of Antiericat, and be able to set a due value on the micans of preserving it." In the same inumber, in relference to create a prejudice against the Con stitutioti, onl account of ti be provisions in. relation to the arn1y, he says: "The atteipt has awakened filly the public attenti t to that iiportauit subject, and has led to investigations which miust terminate inl a thtorougli and universal conviction, not only that the Constitution has provided the uiuot ecllbtual guards against, danger froi that quarter, but that nothing short of a Constitution filly adequate to the nationial dctece, and the preservation !f IIe Union, can save Aimeriea fiom ats inaniy staidinig armiies as it may be split into States or Conifedcracies." Where can we look for stronger evidenec that it was the purpose oif ithe fi'ainers of the Coistitution to make a Gov'erinnent strolig enough 1> pre serve the Union? And how utterly irreconcilable with tiis object is tile right of'a single State to destroy it. Again; in the 43d inumber of' the Federalist lie quotes alt autiele of the Constitution, as fallows: "The ratification of thlie c(nVeItiOnS of nine States shall be suflicienit fbr the establishlunent of' this Con'tst itution between. the States rautifyingr the same." And adlds: "TIhis articl" speaks fbr itself.' The express authiorit y of' the' peop)Ile aloine could give due validity to thle C.on-. stituitioni. Toi have requiredL thle un aimtous. r'atihicatioii oft the' thliten States would. hav:e subhject ed the &', sential interests, of' the whole to the capriice or cor'ruption l'I a singl~e ieinbieir.

We have heard of the impious doctrine inl the Old World, that the people were made for kings, not kings for the people.
