SPEECH OF JUDGE 0. M.JOBERTS.CONTiyUED"
The Constitution of the Uuited States is of course not the
government lhe exercise of the powers delegated by that!
ins.ruuieiii to tne rederal authorities its departments officoib
aud agents constitute tlio general governioent. Aud while they
perform the duties imposed and exerciie just the powers con-
ferred for the object" intended by it thi- Qvernmect in operation
under it is exactly the government whiJh'the States contracted
for and bound themselves to sub'uit to when they formed it:
It was contemplated in its formation that the march of civil-
ization muke would such changes in the habits interests and
wants of society as to demand a change in the actual srovernment.
Hence provision was made to effect such change by amendments
to the constitution so as to increase. mnditV nr rliininisli tlv
powers to bo exercised and duties to be performed by the Fed-
eral authorities. Such change however can only be made by
the consent of ' the Legislatures of three-fourths tf the States.
or by conventions in three-fourths thereof." That is the change-
can only be made by the ascertained will and s consent of the
majority of the people of each State to the number of thlree-
fourtaU at the whole.
Out of the thirty-three States twenty-five States irrespec-
tive of the aggregate amount of ) .nidation must agree to
tne change before those States that dissent from it arc bound
to submit to ir whatever may lie the demands of public opini n
throughout the Union as to the propriety or necessity for the
rhnnge.
Now maj orities in one more than half the States (seventeen)
may cntrol evny depaitment of the actual government whUh
is administered under the Constitution' A rnu.-h less iiiimbei
than half iroiii the numerical strength i.f tli ii- pipul ti in uin

theck and infuse an influence ia the actual government wbicli
is administered in aiteordance with the will of sueh contr . J i i 1 1
Siates. Tli" check is itselt an influetu-e infused into the iv-
wnmettt. by preventing action unless it shall !;. shaued to n

This presents a peculiarity in our government. In Great
Biit-iiii the law-making power resides in the same bodies tin
"hree estates tf the realm that can by a concurrence ;nn n
aj (J nstitation. Its government can therefoie keep paw witi
he COncnrrent will of the three estates the Qmen L.rds titii
ioinmons. This provision is intend dt secure one g veinmen;

ause respect for the interests and wisties ol a respect able miin-
i'y that might be unwilling to make such u.ehann It
t limited that the powers and objects of the general government
.re limited. There is no power delegated to the gtmeraJ g v-
ernmeiit or any department thereof to destroy or i?ven to di--ourage
slavery. On the contrary it is recognized in the Cui-
stitution by the representation given to the States for theii
-laves by the provision obligating the States to -return fugitiv
Alavea ;.i. by the provision which restricts Congress bet-re iSOe
from passing any law against the importation of more slaves.
Without these provisions the Constitution would not have beer.
tssented to by many of the Stat :.
In the progiess of events new objects aud new views of gov-
ernmental action present themselves which are s.m-ht to Ik
tdepted by the governing majorities that control theg.vernmen?.
but whi h are not adopted by the greater number of majorities
hat are required to change the Constitution. This produces i
a conflict between the governing majorities that wish to advanct
ind the minority that hns a right to hold them bick and pre-
vent any change in the actual goveruraent. There 'has always
been a tendency in the governing majorities to adopt! it liberal
construction as to the powers delegated fn order to make tin
general government keep pace with what they considered the
true interest and policy ot the country. This" induces a contin-
ual effort to find powers in the Constitution that are in fatt not
expressed and were never intended to be delegated. By this
means the powers of the irnvcrumcnt nrc sourht to be enlarged.
11 a
aud the government is perverted by being made the instrument
directly aud indirectly of accomplishing favorite objects not at
at all embraced within it;- scope of constitutional action. This
is a change of the government. Bat it is a change without the
consent of a majority in two-thirds of the States and there-
foie unconstitutional. It is a change by the infusion of extra-
neous elements of action into the government through th
perversion of its powers or through the usurpation tf additional
powers not granted. It is a change under tho forms tf admiuiVer-
mg the government. It is the government itself making u
revolution without the consent of the States that alone has
the right to revolutionize. If the chauge should materially pre-
judice or jeopardize their rights uot having con -acted for such
a government they are not bound to submit lo it ; for the gen-
eral governmenf has no right to exercise powers not delegated
and no right to exercise those that have been delegated in a
nanner and with a design to accomplish an object uot embraced
.vitiiin the intended scope nf the government.
The preponderance of n irthern mind has been predisposed thus
to enlarge the powers and objects of the general government.
Hence federalism of which this is the essence; thongh often
beaten back as ften renews jtg form of development and seeks
to engraft itself upon the government and now mor' than ever
ixdd triumphant aud arrogant demauds its admission into the
j-ivermncnt.

The preponderance of southern mind has resisted this usur-
pat ion and perversion of the gtivernment. Massachusetts the
.bother of northern States and author of their lea in ideas
is the type of the former rinciple ; and Virginia the mother
I southern Mutes antl a:thorot iheir leading nh-as is tne tyjw
f the latter. Heretofore this federal irinciple has advanced
the claims of measures and objects which admit ed adivist n ni
pinion both in the north and soiath. At last it lias found an
.bjeel which fastens itself upon the great mass of northern
uind and is being infused as an eleineut of action into the
GioVern:nent. That element is the universal freedom
man with ait disiinction of color. VVheu the Constittnioii
was adopted all the States)- id slaves with one or two excetitions.
Hence the provisions before refencd to wr- i user red to permi'
he States to acquire nmre slaves mid to protect their urupert;
in slaves- .mi to require v-verv State to rei-pe-t hu'-Ii rights ol

noiigh of i hem to change the pow.-rs and objecrs f tiie gov-

mg ni-'j irities in the mat hem States have d-termiiii d to change
the government on this subject at all hazards by construction
;iervi rsion and evasion of its pnvei-s so as to discourage and
destroy idavery rather than irotect it. iheu acts
concurring e8tabli-.li this plainly.
'.rtments of the Fed-

measures from time to time as inn . pressed wi ut a ni!-

Ia other words yon subvert the very object of govern nn at
