Yours, very respectfully, Jamas BucHaNan. To his Excellency Henry A. Wisk, Governor of Virginia. Richmond, Va. In the letter of the President, which has has just been read, it must be apparent to ev- ery one that he did not deny the power of the Federal Government to pass any laws which might be necessary to preserve peace between the States. He said the Constitution and laws of the United States did not confer upon him the power to do that which Gov. Wise sought. The Constitution conferred no power on the President to call out the militia in any case. The clause of the Constitution quoted by the Senator from Illinois conferred that power upon the Congress. -Our fathers, when they framed this Government cast from them the rubbish of past ages, exploded the idea of the Divine right of the agents of government, and Tecognized the sovereignty of the people from whom were derived the great functions which belong to the constitutional (tovernment of the United States. They did not give the Presi- dent the power to call out the militia. They invested the President with no discretion as to when he would use his power to preserve peace between the States. It was the wise policy of the men who framed this (iovernment to fetter their agents, to give them the least possible discretion, and leave all the residuary power in the hands of the people of the United States. The Executive, therefore, from the Constitution, derived no power in relation to this subject. Congress possessed the power of calling out the militia to repel invasion and suppress insurrection. Congress delegated to the President so much as the Congress chose the Executive to exercise. The President, therefore, properly refers to the acts of Con- gress from which he derives his authority—the acts of 1795 and 1807; the one conferring the power for the militia. the other for the army and navy of the United States. Under those laws the President possesses just so much power as Congress gave him—no more; and those laws, to use the language which he quotes, are co prevent invasion from an Indian tribe, orfrom a foreign power. If there had been insurrec- tion within the State of Virginia, he said, the legislature not being in session, and it not be- ing possible to convene it in time, and the ex- ecutive had called upon him, he would have used the whole power which he possessed under the law; but the President said weil and wise- ly, as became a State-rights man, he not only doex not possess the power to go into a State to discover what illegal organization may there exist, but that it was a power which would be dangerous in its exercise if it were possessed. I welcome, sir, the apprehensions of the President of the United States: and never would Tenact a law which would clothe the Executive with the power to cail out the mili- tia, to bring the army and the navy, to invade a State to discover who within that State had in his breast the purpose, at some future day, tocommit crime. If thero be unlawful, trea- sonable organizations within a State, it belongs to the State sovereignty to inquire and to pun- ish the offender. Why, sir, we are about to forget that this is a Confederation, held to- gether by a great treaty; we are about to for- get that the States united voluntarily under the Constitution, and thus and to that extent only became a nation; we are about to reduce ittoamere centralized Government, invest- ing the Executive with a discretion which would crush all the power of the States, and reduce the sovereignty of the States toa mere- ly nominal thing. It is true the Senator from Illinvis, in this criticism upon the President. quotes another article of the Constitution : “The United States shall guaranty to every State in this Union a republican form of govern- ment, and shal! protect each of them against in- vesion, and on application of the legislature or of the Executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence ” I see no issue from this between the Senator and the President, if he wiil construe his let- ter fairly. The President never said the Federal Government had not all the powers which are preseribed in the Constitution. He used the personal pronoun—he, the Executive of the United States, had not powers beyond those which had been conferred upon him by the two acts which he recited. Whocan gain- say this’? But itis upon this basis the Senator informs us that “The denial of the existence of such a power in the Federal Government has induced an in- quiry among conservative men—men loyal to the Const tution and devoted to the Unlon—as to what means they have of protection, If the Federal Government is not authorized to protect them against external violence.”* I trust, sir, that the *‘ men loyal to the Con- stitution and devoted to the Union,’ the “con- servative men’’ who are thus deeply concerned for the safety of the Constitution, will look ‘nto the Constitution which binds these States together; that they will revert to the great principles upon which that Constitution was founded; that they will remember the rights of the people, the rights of the States; that they will dispel their apprehension, and that they will find, in the letter of the President, that he has never denied the power of the Federal Government; that he has never denied the power of Congress to pass laws to carry out all the provisions of the Constitution; never denied his willingness to execute any law which Congress might pass giving him the means to do whatever is needful and proper to preserve the peace between the States. It is proper for me, Mr. President, to say that it is in no feeling of partisan warfare be- tween the Senator and the President. if such exists, that I have made the explanation. It is in the deep interest [ feel for the preserva- tion of soun: ripen, and the restriction of the Federal Government from striding over the sovereignties of the States to usurp such centralizing power, under the promptings of a momentary expediency, as would destroy the great charter of our liberty, and reduce the people to that condition from which they rose —the subjects of a government not within their own control. Mr. Dougles.—I think, if the Senator from Mississippi had carefully read my speech, he would have found no necessity for vindicating the President of the United States from any criticism that [ had made upon his letter, or from any issue that I had made with the Pres- ident growing out of that letter. Certainly, in my speech, there is no criticism upon the P. ent, none upon his letter, no issue made with him: on the contrary, an eqpress dis- clamer of any such issue. I quoted the para- raph from the President’s letter in reply to Sores Wise. The Governor of Virginia had notified the President of the United States that there were in existence; of which he had reliable evidence, conspiracies and combina- tions in Ohio, P ivania, New York, and other States, to inv: the State of Virginia for the purpose of reseuing certain men con- vieted of high crimes; and that there were depots of arms and es of rendezvous fixed in the State of for these ‘adoes; and he communieated these facts to the Presi- dent of the United States that he might take steps to preserve peace between the States. INVASION OF STATES. Ix tae Senate, Janvary 24, 1360. Mr Henter having suggested the postpone- ment until the faloniag uesday of bk has lowing resolution, previously pops) ity: Douglas,(to enable him, Mr. H1., to speak toit, Resolved, That the Committee on the rnart page be instructed to report a bill for the protection o| each State and Territory of the Union against in- vasion by the authorities or inhabitants of any — State or Territory; and for the sup; " —_ = punishment of conspiracies or combina aut, 2 any State or Territory, with intent to invade, as- aail, or molest the government, inhabitants, prop- erty_or institutions of aay other State or Territory of the Union eee a Mr. Davis, while not objecting to its post- ponement, sid :—Mr. President, I must con- fess myself rather ata loss to pereeive the object of the resolution. Before the reso- lution was introduced, the Senate had or- dered # select committee to examine into the facets of the Harper's Ferry raid, and surely with a view to determine what legis- tation was necessary. Whilst this select vommittee was engaged in ita investigation, the Senator from LIllineis introduced « resola- tion to refer the question of enacting laws upon that subject to the Committee on the Judiciary; wherefore, I could not comprehend, unless it was that the Senator intended to speak to his own resolution. That end having been an- swered, I do not see why it should be any longer entertained. If it be the purpose of the Senate to transfer the question from the select committee which it has raised to the Commit- tee on the Judiciary, then theselect committee eught to be relieved and discharged. They are going on from day to day, nearly every day in the week, engaged in the investigation investigation with a view to the very point of what legislation is necessary; which is a matter certainly to be determined better after the facts have been asvertained than before. It so happened on the morning the Senator from Illinois made his address on this resolu- tion that I was engaged in the select commit tee, inquiring into the facts connected with this Harper's Ferry raid; I therefore did not reach the Senate until after he had commenced bis remarks; but this morning I learned from the printed report of his remarks he took a position which I deem it po at this early day to notice. The revolution being before the Senate, the Senator, addressing it, referred in the beginning of his address to a corres- pendence between the Governor of Virginia and the President of the United States. The President, he says, replied to the Governor of Virginia on the 28th of November, and he quotes a single sentence of that reply : “ | am at a loss to discover any provision in the Constitution or lawa of the United States which would authorize me to ‘take steps’ for this pur- pose.’ The Senator inserts in brackets, ‘that is, to preserve the peace between the States.’’ He went on to say : This announcement produced a profound im- Pression upon the public mind, especially in the slaveholding States. It was generally received and regarded as an official and authoritative an- nouncement that the Constitution of the United States confers no power upon the Federal Govern- ment to protect the several States of this Unicon against invasion from the other States.”* Now, sir, I deny that any such sensation was created in my breast, or any one with whom I communicated. I do not know that there is in the length and breadth of the land one man who denies the power of Congress to legislate for this purpose. The injustice which the Senator, however, does to the Executive of the United States, is in presenting him in the at- titude of denying that the Federal Government has any power to protect the several States of this Union against iny: n from other States. ‘The answer of the President was, that he had ne power, under the Constitution or laws of the United States, to perform that which Goy. Wise requested. What did Goy. Wise request? That combinations in the other States, organ- ized with a view to invade Virginia to rescue a criminal from execution, should be broken up. That the position of the President may be ex- actly understood, I will send to the Secretary's desk the President’s letter ang that of ihe —< of Virginia, and ask that they be read. The Secretary read as follows: Ricuxonp, Virginia, Nov. 25, 1859. Sir: I have information from various quarters, upou which I rely, that a conspiracy, of formid- able extent in means and numbers, is formed in Ohio, Pen vania, New York, and other States. to rescue Jolin Brown and his assoctates, prison- ers at Charlestown, Virginia. The information is specific enough to be reliable. It convinces me that an attempt will be made to rescne the prison- ers; and. if that fails, then to seize citizens of this State as hostages and victims in case of execution The execution will take place next Friday, as y {a can and will enforce her laws ‘d to cali out one thousand men, er arms, and if necessary shal! call cut the whole available force of the State to carry into effect the sentence of our laws on the 2d and 16th proximo.

Six: I received, on yesterday, your favor of the 25th Instant, ststing that you have received infor- mation from various quarters, on which you tely, “that a conspiracy, of formidable extent {n means and numbers, is formed in Obio, Pennsylvania, New York, and other States, to rescue John Brown and his associates, prisoners at Charlestown, Vir- xinia.’ The information, you believe, is * ape- cific enough to be reliable ;’’ and you are con- veneed *- that an attempt wili be made to rescue the prisoners, and. if that fails, then to sefze citi- Zens of this State (Virginia) as hostages and vic- ‘tins in case of execution.”” Youdo not communicate the facts on which Your convictions are founded ; in the absence of which, it would seem almost incredible that any Pertion of the People of the States mentioned should Le guilty of the atrocious wickednesé, as well as folly. of attempting to rescue convicted Ts and murderers from the penalty due to : ir crimes under the ou! laws of Virginia hola aoa entire confidence, in which I heartily = jPate, thatthe noble old Commonwealth is aoe tly able and willing to carry her own had yt? execution.

He pe a requisition of the marshal of the United ohetged one thee evens now in custody, of War to order two wet a pu You also inform me that « obstructed by guards or otherwise, to invade” between the States" The President replies—I quoted his language, and I will quote it again: ‘am at a loss to discover any provision in the Conatitution or laws of the United States which would oar me to ae a for gor pur- Rea is, preserving the e between be States ] ae ur The President was unable to discover any provision in the Constitution or in the laws of the United States which would authorize him tointerfere. After quoting that I stated : “This announcement produced a profound im- Pression upon the public mind, especially in the slaveholding States. It was enerally received and regarded as an authoritative announcement that the Constitution of the United States confers no power upon the Federal Government to pro- tect the several States of this Union against inva- sion from the other States. I shall noi — whether the President meant to declare that the existing laws confer no authority upon him, or that the Constitution empowers Congress to enact no laws which would authorize the federal interposition to protect the States from invasion.”” My impression from reading the President’s letter was that he was inclined to the belief that the Constitution conferred no power upon the Foderal Government to interfere. That was ny impression from his language; but still, it might be that such was not the Presi- dent's meaning, and that he only wished to he understood as saying that existing Jaws con- ferred no authority upon him to interfere. Hence, in order to make no issue with the President upon that subject, I stated, I shall not stop to inquire whether he meant to be understood as denying the power of Congress toconfer authority, or denying that the au- thority was yet conferred. My simple object was to obtain suitable legislation to redress similar evils in the future; that if the present laws were not sufficient—I believe there are none on the subject—Congress ought to en- act suitable laws to the extent that the Con- stitution authorized to prevent these inva- sions. I quoted it for the purpose of show- ing the necessity of legislation by Congress. My argument was founded upon that sup- posed necessity. I proceeded to demonstrate that the Constitution conferred the power on Congress to pass laws necessary and proper to protect the States, and I called upon Congress to exerciso that power. I made no issue with the President. If he simply meant to be understood as declaring that the existing lxws do not confer the authority, I concur with him. If he wiehed to be understood when he declared that he was at a loss to discover any provinien in the Constitution or laws of the nited States that conferred any such authori- ty, that the Constitution did not authorize Congress to pass such laws, then I should differ with him; but I carefully avoided putting any construction upon his language as to his mean- ing. Ifit meant one thing, I differed with him; if it meant the other, f agreed with him; but as my object was to demonstrate the ne. cessity for legislation, I confined myself to an argument in favor of such legislation. Now, sir, I respectfully submit that I mado no as. sault upon the President in connection with that question; I had no such motive, as the Senator seems to suppose, of a partisan issue between the President and myself. I have no more inotive for that than the Senator has, or than there is between the Senator and myself. I think my remarks clearly show that I was asking for practical legislation, simply for the purpose of executing a plain provision of the Constitution. But the Senator intimates that the legisla- tion of which I spoke would lead to an act of usurpation that would endanger the rights of the States, and yet goes on to prove that the President of the United States does not differ with me in regard to that constitutional pow- er. Ifthe President agrees with me on that point, Iam glad of it. If he differs with me, it would not change my Spinion nor my ac- tions; but I respectfully submit, when I only propose such legislation as the Constitution a ithorizes and requires, it is hardly fair to say that that means an attack upon the sovereign- ty of the States. Mr. Davis.—I would ask the Senator wheth- er he proposes legislation which will authorize the Executive to go into a State to see whether there is any combination of persons there with intent to commit some illegal act. Mr. Douglas.—The legislation that I pro- pose on this point of combinations, which was clearly explained in my speech, was this: that it shall be proper for the grand juries of the United States courts to indict all men who shall form conspiracies or combinations to in- vade a State or to disturb or molest its citi- zens, property, or institutions; and thatit shall be proper for the petit jury in the United States courts, under the judge, to try and con- vict the conspirators, and to punish them by confinement in the penitentiaries or prisons within the respective States where the con- spiracies or combinations are formed. That was the power that I_ proposed should be con- ferred by law on the Federal courts. I never proposed to intrust to the President an army to go and seek out conspiracies, to seek out com- binations, and to punish them by military rule. My whole argument was that the Federal courts should have jurisdiction over these conspira- cies and combinations; that the conspirators should be indicted, tried and convicted accord- ing to law, and punished to the extent of their power. But in case of an organized body of men, or a military foree in the act of invading, I would confer authority to use military force to the extent necessary to prevent that—not the conspiracy. Mr. Davis.—He has got that now. Mr. Douglas.—Tne Senator says he has got that power now. The President of the United States, I Spprehend, thought not, for this rea- son: He said the only power he had g t was the authority conferred by the two acts to which he alluded, to wit: to protect the United States against invasion from foreign powers and In- dian tribes; and he stated that the invasion of one State from another State did not come within the specifications of the statute for pro- tecting the United States against foreign powers and Indian tribes. If the Senator thinks that that power is there, when we get the legislation before us it will be proper to make amendments which will reach each ob- jection he may raise. The two propositions I maintained in my argument, and those pro- vided for in my resolution, were these : first, to protect each State against invasion—the oase of actual invasion being then in process of execution; second, to make it criminal to form conspiracies and combinations in any State or Territory, or any place within the United States, against the institutions, prop- erty, or government of any other State or Ter- ritory of this Union. Those were the propo- sitions. Mr. Doolittle —At that point I wish to ask a singte question: whether it would also include conspiracies to attack or to overturn the Gov- ernment of the United States? Mr. ep ernaciee to attack or over- turn the United States! Certainly I would indict any combination or conspiracy to sub- vert the United States. Mr. Doolittle.—I merely wish to understand the Senator. Mr. Douglas.—Certainly I would do it. I believe im punishing, by law, all crimes against the Government, to the extent that the Consti- tation authorizes. {ro Bm ConTINUED.] stop to in- ———___—_—_—_———— 4,000 pdutie™ = gig ieee bodes FLOW Cf “James 8, Welsh,” «atedonia, eka Tr ehoice brenda.
