amid oceans of fraternal blood the great question has been practically settled and the authority of iiie union is admitted to be paramount within the limits of the constitution and perpetually binding upon the j states but these states are still co equal and under the constitution i each of them has manv reserved i rights which it is incumbent on von i senators no less than myself to guard and maintain the right to secede has now been decided not to be one of the reserved rights of the state ; but there can be no question that the right to regulate suffrage within its own borders is one which belongs to each and every state of the union by the fundamental condition of the omnibus bill this right is sought to be restricted in a portion ofthe states what right has congress to attempt this ? — where is the provision of the constitution which authorizes it . but i am told by ! the senator from craven that whether constitutional or not this is the supreme law of the land and we are bound by it i am astonished t hear such a doctrine advanced in this land of wri.ten constitu tions if congress can at pleasure over step the bounds of the organic law where j in ir the value of a constitution xo ! mr president much as congress is wor shipped by a party in this country the congiess itself and the general govern ment of which it constitutes one depart j ment are but the creatures of the consti j tution and with limited powers ; and by the terms of that instrument whatever powers are not therein delegated are re served to tho states and the people sir the great ground of complaint against the course of the predominant party in this country under the guidance of its leaders in congress is its proneness to transgress the organic law to accomplish special pur poses it is educating the people to dis regard law i appeal to you senators to aid in arresting this ruinous tendencv — as americans i appeal to you without respect of party to assist in piloting the ship of state back again to her old and safe anchorage hard by the constitution this fundamental condition " also strikes at the very vitals of the union by introducing inequality of rights among lhe states composing it does any one suppose that the union could long be maintained prosperously and harmonious ly with certain states superior to others in dignity ?
