The following is a brief synopsis of Mr. Adams' splendid oration, und howovor much we would like to give tho Address in its entirety, timo und spiico will only permit this brief synopsis which, howevor, may give tho reader an idea of some of the leading thoughts and facts contained in this excellent effort: "Times Change, and Men Often Change With Them, imi Principles Never," Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentle men :?I believe in honoring the Con federate dead. There is nothing to be ashamed of in the fact that they fought under the Stars and Bars, and not un der the Stars and Stripes. To demon strate this will be the burden of my remarks to-day. lad no one say, that in taking this position, I lay myself open to the charge of disloyalty to the Hag of the U nion. He is most loyal to what that Hag represents who is most loyal to the principles for which t he ..eceding states contended. The war settled the policy of the government as to secession. Under that settlement, which is accepted by the South, no state can now withdraw from the Union. Hut the sword can not determine a question that belongs to a different arena from the battlefield. I speak the sober truth of a convic tion founded upon a study of history, when I say, that South Carolina and her sister stales had the ri^ht to secede from the Union at the time when se cession took place. The stubborn facts upon which I hase this affirmation, I wish now to enumerate. Prior to 177(1, there were upon the American continent thirteen colonies subject to the English orown. On the fourth of .Inly in that year, represen tatives of these colonies, 'in General Congress assembled,' issued to t he world their manifest, known as the D. dura tion of IndepenoeilCC In that instru ment thoy deolared that "these United Colonies are, and of right ought to he, free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between theill and t he state of Great Britain is, and ought tobe, totally dissolved." When final victory had perched up on their banner, King George, naming each state, from New Hampshire to Georgia, acknowledged them to be "free, sovereign a n ?1 independent States," just what they had declared t hemselevs to he. it is important to observe the mean ing of the word "State" hero We are accustomed to apply to it a localized meaning, peculiar to America. We think of if as indicating simply an in tegral part of a nation. But its true signification in diplomatic litera ture is that of commonwealth, or body politic, or Nation. You notice that the framers of the Declaration of independence, in the language quoted above, called Great Britain a state, and I hey were right in doing.so. When, therefore, they declared each one of these thirteen colonies to he a state, and when King George granted their contention, they and he meant that each of I hem was a commonwealth, possessing absolute sovereignty, just as Great Britain. Now, the all-impor tant question is, "Did they part with their sovereignty when they became united under a federal government?" This question can he answered only by the history of thattime. What answer does that history give? Is It equivocal, or is it definite? If definite, what is its character? One fact alone, it seems to me, is SUlllciently decisive, though there is a b ii n ?laut corroborative testimony. This fact is, that when they gained their independence, and the sovereign ty of eaoll was acknowledged by King George, and his acknowledgement ac cepted by them, they had already formed a federal government. In 1777, they had adopted an instrument, des ignated by them as the "Articles of confederation and perpetual union be tween the states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode island and Providence Plantation, Connect hut. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina ami Georgia". These articles were the basis of the Constitution, under which we are now living. After a few years they were found to be inadequate for the objects contemplated by the confederation. At the instance of the legislature of Virginia, a convention was called, which met in Philadelphia, May nth, 17H7, "for the sole and express pur pose," 11 * stipulated in the call, "of re vising the Ar titles of Confederation." The result of that convention was our present Constitution, except t h e amendments which have been adopted since riiis instrument was submited, for adoption or rejection, not to the people of the whole country as a unit, but to the several States, with the pro vision that when nine states should ratify it, the union should be formed between them If four states chose to stay out of the Union, there was no claim of authority to compel them to enter it. Tin debates held in t he various con ventions adopting the Constitution, so far as they have been preserved, show how zealous were the men of that day in defending the rights of the states. John Marshall, afterwards Chief Jus tice of the United States, when fears were expressed in the Virginia conven tion that the government was about to become a consolidated republic, voiced t he general sentiment of t he day when he said, "It is the people that give power, and can take it hack." The adopting acts of those conven tions are very instructive Massachu setts, in order to "guard against an un due administration ef the I'ederal gov ernment," proposed certain amend ments, the first being, "1 hat it espec ially declares that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution, are reserved to the sever al states, to be by them exercised." This afterwards became, with some changes of phraseology, the Tenth amendment. The act of tho convention of South Carolina contains the words, "The sovereignty of the seyeral states;" also this section : ''This convention doth also declare, that no sect ion or para graph of this said Constitution war rants a construction that, the states do not retain every power not expressly relinquished bv thomj anil vested hy fchein in the General Government of the Union." They did not relinquish their sovereignty. The Virginia convention declared that "the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, njay he resumed by them, wlieqevcr I he same shall be perverted to their injury or Oppressiop. Whom did they mean by "tue people of the United States5, hut the people of t|)G seyera| stated, noting tluough t ii.-11? M-vcral conven tions, and entering into what Massa chusetts properly called "an explicit and solemn compact with each other." Now, It is undeniable, that the union was intended to he perpetual; but it was also expected that the states should faithfully conform to t heir com pact with each other. Just as the vio lation of any agreement hy one of the forties thereto releases the other, so, a Sllnre to comply with the constitution by any one of the states would absolve the others from tho obligation to main tain a union with it. And whenever the Federal (lovernment should fail to enforce the provisions of Um Constitu tion, declared by itse|f to he "the su preme law of the land," to tho injury of any state, hy what fight could H^t sovereign state be held longer bound to remain in the union? The right of secession was early main tained hy representative men of New England. In 1811, when the bill for the admission of Louisiana was under discussion, a member of Congress from Massachusetts said that the passage of the bill would "free the Stales from their moral obligation," and that "as it WOUld be the right of all, so it would be the duty of some, to prepare for a separation." Again, in 1k11, only sixteen years before South Carolina seceded, the legislature of Massachusetts, protest ing against the annexation of Texas, passed a resolution, declaring that such a step on the part Of Congress might "tend to drive these States (New Eng land) into a dissolution of the I nioii." Did those sixteen years make any difference as to the right of secession V If the New England States had that right in lsil, why did they deny it to South < larolina in ih<h? ? The expediency of secession is not a matter that needs to he discussed. The results of the war are doubtless as Providentially ordered. God reigns, and all is well beoause Ho reigns. The right of secession is a different thing from its expediency at any particular time, and to establish the right, and then to show that there was SOIUO rea I son for its exercise, is all that is needed to relieve the war between the States front the odium east upon it by the Federal Government in calling it "The War of the Rebellion." It was neither rebellion nor civil \v;ir, hut a war be tweet) tWO unions of Confederated States, each of which unions had the right to exist. Now let me briefly speak of the rea sons that led to secession. Slavery, whether fortunately or un fortunately, was recognized in i he < !on stitution . Article IN', Section *J, pro vides that "no person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws t here of, esoap'llg into another, shall, in con sequence >f any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such ser vice or labor, but shall he delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may lie due." For a long time, there was little or no trouble in enforcing this provision. Hut because of anti-slavery agitation. Congress found it necessary to pass, in I860, what was known as the Fugitive Slave Law, by which the Stales were enjoined to observe (Iiis part of their on 111 pact. Thereupon several Northern Legislatures nullified the act of Con gress and this section of the Constitu tion by enacting laws giving freedom to all slaves escaping into their terri tory. The South felt that if one part of the Constitution were allowed thus to he set at naught, no part ?>( it was safe. The agitation continued; .lohn Brown's raid into Virginia took place ; the Abolition party elected its candi dates for Presidentand Vice-President in 1800. This parly seemed bent upon overriding the federal compact that bound tho States together. It had come into power.. There seemed no way of enforcing the Constitution ; and South Carolina, in consequence, withdrew the powers delegated by her to the "United states in Congress assembled," and took her place among t he Sovereign States of the world. Others followed, and with her formed a new Union, which they called 'The Confederate Stales of America." It may not have been wise action ; it may have been hasty ; but there was reason lor it in the violation of a solemn agreement, which had formed the basis of union between these and Slates from which they withdrew.
