BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

A PROCLAMATION. July 4, 185T.

W~mEAs a convention between the United States and the Republic

of Peru with regard to the inteppretation to be given to article XIIth of the
treaty of the twenty-sixth July, eighteen hundred and fifty-one, was signed
at Lima on the fourth of July, eighteen hundred and fty-seven, which
convention is, word for word, as follows:
Certain doubts having arisen with
regard to the interpretation to be
given to article twelfth of the treaty
of the 26th of July, 1851, as to the
goods, other than oil and the produce
of their fishery, that the whale ships
of the United States may land and
sell, or barter, duty free, for the pur-
pose of obtaining provisions and re-
fitting, a concession which, in articles
eighty-ono and one hundred and ten
of the General Commercial Regula-
tions, is not so extensive; and it
being convenient, for the advantage
of the citizens of the United States
employed in the whale fishery, and
of the citizens of Pern, who furnish
provisions, to fix, clearly and defini-
tively, the proper meaning of the
concessions stipulated in the above-
mentioned article twelfth of the treaty
of the 26th July, 1851, so that while
those reciprocal benefits are secured,
all and every controversy in the mat-
ter may be avoided:
The envoy extraordinary ind min-
ister plenipotentiary of the United
States of America to the Republic
of Peru, John Randolph Clay, in
virtue of his full powers, and his ex-
cellency Doctor Don Manuel Ortiz
de Zevallos, minister of foreign af-
fairs of the Republic of Peru, fully
authorized to act in the premises by
the excellent council of ministers
charged with the government of the
Republic, after having held repeated
conferences, and come to a mutual
Preamble.

TREATY OF FORT LARAMI.-

This treaty was concluded September 17, 1851. When It was before *the Senate
for ratification, certain amendments were made which require the assent of the
Tribes, pes to it, before it can be considered a complete instrument. This
assent of all the Tribes has not been obtained, and, consequently, although Con-
gress appropriates money for the kfuliment of its stipulations, It is not yet in a
proper form for publication. This note.is added for the puapose of making the
references from the Public LAws complete, and as an expnatlon why the Treaty

A PROCLAMATION.
As the safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and essentially depend on
the protection and the blessing of Almighty God, and the national acknowledg-
ment of this truth is not only an indispensable duty which the people owe to
Him, but a duty whose natural influence is favourable to the promotion of that
morality add piety, without which soial happiess cannot exist, nor the blessings
of a fi;ee government be enjoyed, and as this duty at all times incumbent, is so
especialy in seasons of difficulty or of danger, when existing or threatening
calamities, the just judgments of God against prevalent iniquity, are a loud call to
repentance and reformation ; and as the United States of America are, at
present, placed in a hazardous and afflietive situation, by the unfriendly dis-
position, conduct, and demands of a Foreign Power, evinced by repeated
refusals to receive our messengers of reconeiliation and peace, by depredations
on our Commere, and the infliction of injuries on very many of our fellowr-
citizens, while engaged in their lawful business on the seas.-Under these con-
siderations it has appeared to me that the duty of imploring the mercy and
benediction of Heaven on our country, demands, at this time, a special attention
from its inhabitants.
Wednesday, I have, therefore, thought fit to reeommend, and I do hereby recommend, that
May 1798, ap- Wednesday, the ninth day of May next, be observed throughout the United
POImaay
of Public Hu- States, as a day of Solemn Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer: That the
miliation. Citizens of these States, abstaining on that day from their customary worldly
occupations, offer their devout addresses to the Father of Mercies, agreeably to
those forms or methods which they have severally adopted as the most suitable
and beeoming: That all Religious Congregatons do, with the deepest humility,
acknowledgebefore God the manifold sins and transgens with which we are
justly chargeable as individuals and as a nation, beseeching him at the same
time of His infinite Grace through the Redeemer of the World, freely to remit
all our offences, and to incline us, by his Holy Spirit, to that sincere Repentance
and Reformation, which may afford us reason to hope for his inestimable favour
and Heavenly Benediction: That it be made the subject of particular and
earnest supplication, that our country may be protected from al the dangers
which threaten it : That our civil and reigious privileges may be preserved in-
violate, and perpetuated to the latest generations: Thai'ourPublic Councils and
_iagstrates my be especlally enlightened and directed at this critical period:
That the American people may be u..ited in thoe bonds of amity and mutual
confidence, and inspire with that vigonr and fortitude by which they have in
times past been toh
fnguished,
ul~l and by which they have obtained such
invaluablp advantages: That the health of the inhabitants of our land may be
p reserved, and their Agriclture, Commerce, Fisheries, Art. and Manufactures,
be blessed and prospered: That the principles of genuine piety and sound
mority may influience the minds and govern the lives of every description of
our Citizens, and that the blessings of peace, freedom, sad pure religion, may be
speedily extended to all the nations of~the Earth.
And, finally, I recommend, that on the said day, the duties of Humilian and
Prayer be accompanied by fervent thanksgiving to the bestower of every good
gift 'not only for His having hitherto protete and preserved the people of
these United States, in the independent ernjoymnent of their Religious-and Civil
Freedom, but also for havin prospered the in a wonderful progres of popula-

our citizens, committed by officers of one of the belligerent parties received
among us. In truth, these abuses of the laws of hospitality have, with few ex-
ceptions, become habitual to the commanders of the British armed vessels
hovering on our coasts, and frequenting our harbor They have been the
subject of repeated representations to their government. Assurances have
been given that proper orders should restrain them within the limit of the
rights and of the respect due to a friendly nation ; but those orders and assur-
ances have been without effect;. no instance of punishment for past wrongs has
taken place; at length a deed, transcending ll we have hitherto seen or suf-
fered, brings the public sensibility to a serious crisis, and our forbearance to a
necessary pause. A figate -of the United States, trusting to a state of peace,
and leaving her harbor on a distant service, has been surprised and attacked
by a British vessel of superior force, one of a squadron then lying in our
waters and covering the transaction, and has been disabled from serice, with
the loss of a number of men killed and wounded. This enormity was not only
without provocation or justifiable cause, but was committed with the avowed
purpose of taking by force, from a ship of war of the United States, a part of her
crew; and that no circumstance juight be wanting to mark its character, it had
been previously ascertained that the seamen demanded were native citizens of
the United States. Having effected her puose, she returned to anchor with
her squadron within our Jurisdiction. ospitality, under such circumstances,
ceases to be a duty; and a continuance of it, with such uncontrolled abuses,
would tend only, by multiplying injuries and irritations, to bring on a.rupture
between the two nations. This extreme resort is equally opposed to the in-
terests of both, as it is to assurances of the most friendly dispositions on the part
of the British government, in the midst of which this outrage has been com-
mitted. In this'light, the subject cannot but present itself to that government,
and strengthen the motives to an honorable reparation of the wrong which has
been done, and to that effectual control of its naval commanders, which alone can
jus* the government of the United States in the exercise of those hospitalitles
it is now constrained to discontinue.
In consideration of these circumstances, and of the right of every nation to
regulate its own police, to provide for its peace and for the safety of its citizens,
and consequently to refuse the admission of armed vessels into its harbors or
watrs, either in sch numbers, or of such descriptions, as are inonsistent with
these, or with the maintenane of the authority of the lws, I have thought

the United States, has for some time been entirely suspended by events over
which they had no control, and whereas a crisis has at length arrived subversive
of the order of things under the Spanish authorities, whereby a failure of the
United States to take the said territryintd its possession may lead to events
ultimately contravening the views of both parties, whilst in the mean time the

Considering, moreover, that under these peculiar and imperative cireumstanes,
a forbearance on the part of the United States to occupy the territory in ques-

Ish *~ekade, miles in extent, and abounding in ports, harbors, and navigable inlets, cannot

United States, and of other vessels, that no such adequate force has been so
stationed: And whereas a blockade thus destitute of the character of a regular
and legal blockade, as defined and recogned.by the established law of nations,
whatever other purposes it may be made to answer, forms no lawfld prohibition
or obstacle to such neutral and friendly vessels as may choose to visit and trade

No. 15. Pardon to certain Offender oqf Louisiana. Feb. 6,181&

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
AMozNG the many evils produced by the wars which, with little intermission, Preamble.
have afflicted Europe, and extended their ravages into other quarter# of the
globe, for a period exceeding twenty years, the dispersion of a considerable.
portion of the inhabitants of different countries, in sorrow and in want, has not
en the least injurious to human happimess, nor the least severe in the trial of
human virtue.
It had long been ascertained that many foreigners, flying from the daugers of
their own home, and that sotie citizens, forgetful of their.duty, had co-operated
in forming an establishment on the island of Barrataria, near the mouth of the
River Mississippi, for the purposes of a clandestine and lawless trade. The
government of the United States caused the establishment to be broken up and
destroyed ; and having obtained the means of designating the offlenders of every
description, it only remained to answer the demands of'justice by inflicting an
exemplary punishment.
But it ha since been represented that the offenders have vmnifested a sincere
penitence; that they have abandoned the prosecution of the worse tause for the
support of the best; and, particularly, that they have exhibited, in the defence
of New Orleans, unequivocal traits of courage and fidelity. Offenders, who
have refused to become the associates of the enemy in the war, upon the most
seducing terms of invitation, and who have aided to repel his hostile invasion
of the territory of the United States, can no longer be considered as objects of
punishment, but as object; of a generous forgiveness.

PROCLAMATION
BY ANDREW JACKSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Nc. 10, IB.

W tiEFm a convention assembled in the State of South Carolina, have

passed an ordinance, by which they declare, "That the several acts and parts of
acts of the Congress of the United States, purporting to be laws for nowimposing

acts for the same purposes, passed on the 19th of May, 1828, and on the 14th of VoL iv. p. 588.
July, 1832, "are unauthorized by the Constitution of the United States, and
violate the true meaning and intent thereof, and are null and void, and no
law," nor binding on the citizens of that State, or its officers; and by the said
ordinance, it is further declared to be unlawful for any of the constituted author-
ities of the State, or of the United bates, to enforce the payment of the duties
imposed by the said acts, within the same State, and that it is the duty of the
leIs Iture to pass such laws as may be necessary to give full effect to the said
ornance :
And whereas, by the said ordinance, it is further ordained, that, in no case of
law or equity decided in the courts of said Stat, wherein shall be drawn in
question the validity of the said ordinance, or of the acts of the legislature that
may be passed to give it effect, or of the said laws of the United States, no ap-
peal shall be allowed to the Supreme Court of tlt nor shall any

copy of the record be perrittq, or allowed for purpose, and any person
attempting to take such appeal shall be punished as for contempt of court -
And,finally, the said ordinance declares that the people of South Carolina
will maintain the said ordinance at every hazard; and that they will consider
the passage of any act, by Congress, abolishing or closing the ports of the said
State, or otherwise obstructing the free ingess or egress of vessels to and from
the said ports, or any other act of the Federal Government to coerce the State,
shut ulpher ports, destroy or harass her commerce, or to enforce the said acts
otherwise thin through the civil tribunals of the country, as inconsistent with the
longer continuance of South Carolina in the Union; and that the people of the

States, contrary to the laws of their country, subversive of its constitution, and
having for its object the destruction of the Union-that Union, which, coeval
with our politiea existence, led our fathers, without any other ties to unite them
than those of patriotism and a common cause, through a sanguinary staggle to a
glorious independence,-thatsacred Union hitherto inviolate, which, perfected by
our hapy Constitution, has brought us, by the favor of Heaven, to a state of
prsperity at home, and high consideration abroad, rarely, if ever, equalled in
from de-
the history of nations,-To preserve this bond of our political existence
suction, to maintain inviolate this state of national honor and property, and to
justilv the confidence my fellow-ctizes have reposed in me, I, ANDREW
JACKSON, President of the United States, have thought proper to issue this
my proclamation, stating my views of the Constitution and laws applicable to
the measures adopted by the convention of South Carolina, and to the reasons
they have put forth to s them, declaring the course which duty will require
me to ursue, and, appealing to te understanding and patriot of the people,
warn tem of the consequences that must inevitably resut from an observance
of the dictates of the convention.
Strict duty would require of me nothing more than the exercise of those
powers with which I am now, or may hereafter be invested, for preserving the
peace of the Union, and for the execution of the laws. But the imposing aspect
which opposition has assumed in this case, by clothing itself with State anthority,
and the deep interest which the people of the UnitedT States must all feel in pre-
venting a resort to stronger measures while there is a hope that any thing will
be yie[ded to reasoning and remonstrance, perhaps demand, and will certainly
justify a full exposition to South Carolina and the nation, of the views I enter-
tain of this important question, as well as a distinct enunciation of the course
which my sense of duty will require me to pursue.
The ordinance is founded, not on the indefeasible right of resisting acts which
are plainly unconstitutional, and too oppressive to be endured; batonude strange
position that ay one State may not only declare an actwiththe of Cors void, but
Consttuion-
prohibt its execution-that they may do this cnsstntly
that the true construction of that instrument permits a State to retain its place
in the Union, and yet be bound by no other of its laws thn those it may choose
to consider as onstitutional It is true, they add, that to jus this abrogation
of a law, it must be palpably contrary to the Constitution; but it is evident, that
to give the right of ressting laws of that description, coupled with the uncon-
trolled right to decide what laws deserve that chrcter, is to give the power of
resisting all laws. 'or, as by the theory, there is no appeal, the reasons alleged by
the State, good or bad, must prevail. If it should be said that public opinion is
a sufficient check against the abuse of this power, it may be asked why it is not
deemed a sufficient guard against the passage of an unconstitutional act by Con-
gress ? There is, however, a restraint in tis last case, which makes the assumed
power of a State more indefensible, and which does not exist in the other. There
are two appeals from an unconstitutional act passed by Congress-one to the
Judiciary, the other to thePeople, and the. States. There is no appeal from the
State decision in theory, and the practical illustration shows that the courto are
closed against an application to review it, beth judges and jurors being sworn to
decide in its favor. But reasoning on this subject is superfluous, when our so-
cial compact, in express terms declares, that the laws of the United States, its
Constitution, and treaties made under it, are the supreme law of the land -- and,
for greater caution, adds "that the judges in every State shall be bound thereby,
any thing in tim tonstitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstand-
ing." And it may be asserted without fear of refutation, that no Federative
Government could ecist without a similar provision. Look for a moment to the
consequence. If South Carolina considers the revenue laws unconstitutional,
and has a right to prevent their execution in the port of Charleston, there would
be a clear constitutional objection to their collection in every other port, and no
revenue could be collected any where; for all imposts must be equal. It is no
answer to repeat, that an unconstitutional law is no law, so long as the question
of its legality is to be decided by the State itself; for every law operating in-
juriously upon any local interest, will be perhaps thought, and certainly repre-
sented, as unconstitutional, and, as has been shown, there is no appeal.
If this doctrine had infncy.

discovered that they had the*right now claimed by South Carolin. The war,
into which we were forced to support the dignity of thle nation and the rights
of our citizens, might have ended-in defeat and disgrace, instead of victory and
honor, if the States who supposed it a ruinous and unconstitutional measure,
had thought they possessed the right of nullifying the act by which it was
declared, and denying supplies for its prosecution. Hardly and unequally ar
those measures bore upon several members of the Union, to the legislatures o.
none did this efficient and peaceable remedy, as it is called, suggest itself. The
discovery of this important feature in our Constitution was reserved to the pres-
ent day. To the statesmen of South Carolina belongs the invention, and upon
the citizens of that State will unfortunately fall the evils of reducing it to practice.
If the doctrine of a State veto upon the laws of the Union carries with it
internal evidence of its impracticable absurdity, our constitutional history will
also afford aboudant proof tha it would have been repudiated with indignation
had it been proposed to form a feature in our government.
In our colonial state, although dependent onanother power, we very early con-
sidered ourselves as connected by common interest with each other. Leagues
were formed for common defence, and before the Declaration of Independence,-
we were known in our aggregate character as the United Colonies of America.
That decisive and important step was taken jointly. We declared ourselves a
nation by a joint, not-by several acts, and when the terms of our confederation
were
which reduced to form, it was in that of a solemn league of several States, by
they agreed that they would collectively form one nation for the purpose
of conducting some certain domee concerns, and all foreign relations. In the
instrument forming that Unio is found an arcle which declares that "every
the determiations
shall abide b should
Stateconfederation
that of Congress, on all questions which, by
be submitted to them."
Under the confederation, then, no State could legally annul a deion of the
CoMngre, or refuse to submit to its execution but no provision was made to
enforce these decisions. Congress made requisitions, but they were not com-
plied with. The government could not Operate on individuals. They had no
udibiary, no means of collecting revenue.
But the defects of the confederation need not be detailed. Under its opera-
tion we could scarcely be called a nation. We had neither p t at home
nor consideration abroad. This state of thin could not be endured, and our
present happy Constitution was formed, hut formed in vain, if this fatal doctrine
prevails. It was formed for Important objects that ane announced in the pre-
amble, made in the name and by the authority of the people of the United
States, whose delegates framed, and whose conventionsnrsi ap ran, i on whih all
important among these objeets, that which is paed
the others rest, is "to forma more perfect Union.' Now, is it _pssble, that
even if there were no express provision giving supremacy to the Constitution
and laws of the United States over those of the States--can it be conceived,
that an instrument made for the purpose of "form' a more perfect Union,"
than that of the eonfederation, could be so constructed by the assembiled wisdom
of our country, as to substitute for that confederation a form of government
dependent for its existence on the local interest, the party spirit of a State, or
of a prevailing faction in a State? Every man of plain, unsophisticted under-
standing, who hears the question, will give such an answer as will preserve the
Union. Metaphysical subtlety, in pursut of an impracticable theory, could alone
have devised one that is calculated to-destroy it.
I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the United States, asumed by
one State, incompatible with the exstence of the Union, contricted epressly rbey
the letter of the Constitutioni, unauthorized by its sprt inconsistent witht
principle on wh~ih it was founded, and destrtive of the great objt .for which
it was formed.
After this general view of the leading principle, we must examine the par,
ticular application of it which is made in the ordimanoe.
The preamble rests its justification on these grounds: It assumes, as a fact,
that the obnoxious laws, although they purport to-be laws for raising revenue,
were, in reality, intended for the protection of manufWtures, which purpose it
asserts to be unconstitutional ;-that the operation of these laws is unequal ;-that
the amount raised by them is greater than is required by the wants of the
government;--and .finally, that the proceeds are to be applied to objects un-
authorized by the Constitution. These are the only causes alleged to justify an
open oposition to the laws of the country, and a threat of seceding from the
Union, if any attempt should be made to enfore.them. The first virtually

power expry is
drawn in question from the mot/s of those who passed it. However apparent
this purpose mY be in the present case, nothing can be more dangerous than
tadnt the position that an unconstitutional purpose, entertained by the mem-
bers who assent to a law enacted under a constitutional power, shallmake that
law void; for how is that purpose to be asertained Who i to make the
scrutinyi How ofen may bad purposes be falsely imputed-in how many
cases are they concealed by false prof s-in how many is no declaration
of motive made ? Admit this doctrine, and you give to the States an uncon-
trolled right to decide, and every law may be annulled under this pretext. if,
therefore, the absurd and dangerous doctrine should be admitted, that a State
may annul an unconstitutional law, or one that it deems such, it will not apply
to the present case.
The next objeetion is, that the laws in question operate unequally. This
objection may be made with truth to every law that has been or can be passed.
The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate
with perfect equality. If the unequal operation of a law makes it unconstitu-
tional and if all laws of that description may be abrogated by any State for
that cause, then indeed is the Federal Constitution unworthy of the slightest
effort for its preservation. We have hitherto relied on it as the perpetual bond
of our Union. We have received it as the work of the assembled wisdom of
the nation. We have trusted to it as to the sheet anchor of our safety in the
stormy times of conflict with a foreign or domestic foe. We have looked to it
with sacred awe as the palladium of our liberties, and, with all the solemnities
of religion, have pledged to each other our lives and fortunes here, and our
hopes of happiness hereaer, in its defence and support. Were we mistaken,
my ountrymen, in atacig this importace to the Cnsttutin of our country ?
Was our devotion paid to the wretched, inefficient, clumsy contrivance which
this new doctrine would make it? Did we pledge ourselves to the support of

giving it to each of the States, or woqld you sanction the wise provisions already
made by your Constitution ? If this should be the result of your deliberations

hold dear, to establish, for a temporary and a local purpose, that which you
must acknowledge to be destructive, and even absurd, as a general provision
Carry out the consequences of this right vested in the dAnrent States, and you
must perceive that the crisis your conduct presents at this day, would recur
whenever any law of the United States displiased anf of the States, and that
we should soon cease to be a nation.
The ordinance, with the same knowledge of the future that characterizes a
former objection, tells you tht the proceeds of the tax will Ie unconstitutionally

more propriety, be reserved for the law so applying the proceeds, but surely

whichi have never theaUe

to be unconstitutionl.
The Constitution declares that the judicial powers of the United States extend
to e arising under the laws of the United States, and that such laws, the Con-
stituton, and treaties, shall be paramount to the State Constitutions and laws.
The judiciary ac. prescribes the mode by which the case may be brought before a
co o e United States, by appeal, when a State tribunal shall decide against
tis provision of the Constitution. The ordinance declares there shall be no ap-
peal-makes the State law paramount to the Constitution and laws of the United
States-forces judges andjurors to swear that they will disregard their provisions;
and even makes it penal m a suitor to attempt relief by appeal. It Kurther de-
clares that it shall not be lawfiul for the authorities of the United States, or of that
State, to enforce the payment of duties imposed by the revenue laws within its
limits.
Here is a law of the United States, not even pretended to be unconstitutional,
repealed by the authority' of a small majority of the voters of a single State.
Here is a provision of the Constitution which is solemnly abrogated by the same
authority.
atOn swty exptions and reasonings, the ordinance &rounds not only an asser-
tion of the right to annul fhe laws o which it complains, but to enfirce it by a
threat of seceding from the Union if any attempt is made to execute them. -
This right to secede is deduced from the nature of the Constitution, which,
they say, is a compact between Sovereign States, who have preserved their whole
sovereignty, and therefore, are subject to no superior; that, because they made
the compact, they can break it when, in their opinion, it has been departed from
by the other States. Fallacious as this course of reasoning is, it enlists State
pride, and find& advocates in the honest prejudices of those who have not studied
the nature of our government sufficiently to see the radical error ou which it
rest&
The people of the United States formed the Constitution, acting through the
.St*e lgisatures in making the compact, to meet and discuss its provisions and
acting in separte conventions when they ratified Those provisions; but the
terms used in its construction, show it to be a government in which the people
of all the States,collectively,are represented. We are one people in the choice
of President and Vice-President. Here the States have no other agency
than to direct the mode in which the votes shall be given. The candidates hav-
ing the majorityof all the votes are chosen. The electors of a najority of States
may have given their votes for one candidate, and yet another may be chosen.
The people then, and not the States, are represented in the Executive branelL
In the House of Representatives there is this differenoe, that the people of
one State do not, as in the case of President and Vice-President, all vote for
the same officers. The people of all the States do not vote for all the members,
each State electing only its own representatives. But this creates no material
distinction. When chosen, they are all representatives of the United States, not
representatives of the particular State from which they come. They are paid
by the United States, not by the State; nor are they accountable to it for any
act done in the performance of their legislative functions; and however they
may in practice, as it is their duty to do, consult and prefer the interestsof their

be done through gross error, or to deceie Geo who ate willing to assert a right
but would pause before they made a revolution, or incur the penalties cone-
quent on a failire. -
Because the Union was formed by compact, it is said the parties to that com-
pact may, when they feel themselves aggrieved, depart fi'n it; but it is precisdy
because itis a compapt that they cannot. A compact is an agreement or bindng
obligation. It may by its terms have a sanction or penalty for its breach, or it
may not. Ifit contains no sanction, it may be broken with no other consequeneb
than moral guilt; if it have a sanction, then the breach incurs the designaed or
implied penalty. A league between independent nations, generally, has no sanc-
tion, other than a moral one; or if it should contain a penalty, as there is no
common superior, it cannot be enforced. A government, on the cot
alwap has a sanction, express or implied; and, in our case, it is both necessi
implied and expressly given. An attempt, by force of arms, to dastroy a govert -
ment, is an offence, by whatever means the constitutional compact may have been
formed; and such govemment has the right, by the law of self-defenoe, to pass acts
for punishin, the offender, unless that right is modified, restrained, or resumed
by the constitutional act. In our systs, although it is modified in the case of
treason, yet authority is expressly given to pass all laws necessary to carry ita"
powers into effect, and under this grant, prov-ion has been made for punishing
acts which obstruct the due adminstration of the laws.
It would seem superfluous to add any thing to show the nature of that union
which connects us; but, as erroneous opinions on this subject are the Ioundation
of doctrines the most destructive to our peace, I must 0ve some further devel-
opment to my views on this subjeet No one, fellow-ciizems, has a highe rev-
erehce for the reserved rights of the States, than the Magistrath who now addresses
you. No one would make greater personal sacrifices, or official exertions, to
defend them fiom violation; -but equal care must be taken to prevent, on their
part, an improper interference with, or resumption of, the rights they have vested
in the naton. The line has not been, so distinctly drawn as to avoid doubts in
some eases of the exercise of power. Men of the best intentions and soundest
views may differ in their constrdton of smne parts of the-Constitution; but there
are others on which dispassionate reflection can leave no doubt. Of this nature
appears to be the asurmed ig of secession. It rests, as we have seen, on the
alleged undivided sovereignty of the States, and on their ha' formed, in this
soveeign capaH, a compact which is called the eonstitutzon,from which, be-
case they made it, they have the right to secede. - Both of these positions are
erroneous, and some of the arguments to prove them so haverbeen snticipated.
The States severally have not retained their -entire, sovereignty. -It has

United States. Trason is an offence against soivei" ,and sovereignty must

not less sacred because they have, for their common interest, made the general

comsidered' as a mer league that may be disioed at pleasure? It is from an
abuse of terms. Compact is used as synonomous with league, although the true
term is not employed, becawme it wQuld at once show the fallacy of the reason-
ing. -Itwould not doeto bay that our Codstitution was only a league, but it is
la ored to prove it a compact, (which in one sense it is,) and then to argue
that as league is a compact, every compact between nations must of course be
a lguea, and that from such an engagement every sovereign power has a right
to recede. But it has been shown that, in this sense, the States are not sov-
erigr and that even if they were, and the national Constitution had been
fomed by.compact, there would be no right in any one State to exonerate itself
from its obligations.
So obvious are the reasons wyhich forbid this secession, that it is necessary only
to allude to them. The Union was formed for the benefit of all. It was pro-
duced by mutual sacrifices of inteftsta -and opinion1 Can those saqi~fices be
recalled t Can the States, who magna"imously surrendered their title to the
territories of the West, recall the grant? Will the inhabitant ,of the inland
State$ agree to pay the duties that may be imposed without their assent by those
on the Atlantr or the Gulf, for their own benefit ? Shall there be a free port
in one State, andonerous duties in another ? No one believes that any right

to execite the laws, the State is, by the ordinance, declared to be out of the
Union. The majority of a convention assembled for the purpose, have dic-
tated these terms, or rather this rejection of all terms, in the name of the people
of South Caroina. It istue ths the governor of the State speaks of the sub-
mission of their grievances to a convention of all the States, which, he says,
they "sincerely and anxiously seek and desire." Yet this obvious and consti-
tutional mode of obtaining the sense of the other States on the construction of
the federal empact, and azhending it, if necessary, has never been attempted
by those who have urged the State on to this destructive measure. The State
might haveproposed the call for a general convention to the other States; and
Conesk i a sufficient number of them concurred, must have called it. But
the first magistrate of South Carolina, when he expressed a hope that ",on a
review by Congress and the functionarieq of the general government, of the
merits of the controversy," such a convention will be accorded to them, must
have known that neither Congress nor any functionary of the general govern-
ment, has authority to call such a convention, unless it be demanded by two
thirds of the States. This suggestion, then, is another instance-of the reckless
iiattention to the provisions of the Constitution with which this cris has been
madly hurried on; or of the attempt to persuade the people that a constitutional
remedy had been sought and refused. If the legislature of South Carolina
"anxiously desire" a general oivention to consider their complaints, why
have they not made application for it in the way the Constitution points out?
The assrtion that they "earnestly seek it" is completely negatived by the
This, then, is the position in which we stand. A small maJority of the citizens
of one State in the Union have elected delegates tb a State convention; that
convention has ordained that all the revenue laws of the United States must be
repealed, or that they re no longer a member of the Union. The governor of
that State has recommended to the legislature the raising of an army to carry
the secession into effect, and that he may be em'powered to give clearances to
v~sses in the name of the State. No act of violent opposition to the laws has
yet been coniitted, but such a state of things is hourly apprehended; and it is
the intent of 'this instrument to Proclaim,not only that the duty imposed on me

illegal and disorganizing ordinance of the convention-to exhort those who have
resed to support it, to persevere in their determination to uphold the Consti-
tution and laws of their country,--and to point out to all the perilous situation
into which the good people of that State have been-led, and that the course they
are urged to pursue is one of ruin and disgrace to the very State whose rights
they affect to support.
Fellow citizens of my native State l--letme not only admonish ou, as the First
Mz istrate of our common country, not to incur the penalty of its laws, but use
the influence that a father would over his children whom he saw rushing to cer-
tain ruin. In that paternal language, with that paternal feeling, let me tell you,
my countrymen, that you are deluded by men who are either deceived them-
selves, or wish to deceive you. Mark under'what pretences you have been led
on to the brink of insurrection and treason, on which you stand ! First, a dim-
inution of the value of your staple commodity, lowered by over production in
other quarters, and the consequent diminution in the value of your lands, were
the sole effect of the tariff laws. The effect of those laws was confessedly in-
jurious, but the evil was gready exaggerated by the unfounded theory you were
taught to believe, that its burthens were in proportion to your exports, not to
your consumption of import"l articles. Your pride was roused by the assertion
that a submission to those lawr was a state of vassalage, and that resistance to
them was equal, in patriotic merit, to the opposton our fathers offered to the
oppressive laws of Great Britain. You were told that this opposition might be
peaceably-might be constitutionally mafe-that you might enjoy all the ad-
vantages of the Union, and bear none of its burthens. oquent appeals to
,our passions, t6 your State pride, to your native coua, to your sense of real
iju, were used to prepare you for the perod when the mask, which concealed
the hideous features of disunion, should be taken off. It fell, and you weie
made to look with complacency on objects which, not long since, you would have
regarded with horror. Look back to the arts which have brought you to this
state--look forward to the consequences to which it must inevitably lead! LIck
back towhat was first Jold you as an inducement to enterinto this dangerous course.
The great political truth was repeated to you, that you had the revolutionary
right of resisting all laws that were palpably~unconstitutional and intolerably
oppressive--it was added that the right to nullify a law rested on the same
principle, but that it was a peaceable remedy! This character which was given
to it, made you receive, with too much confidence, the assertions that were made
of the unconstitutionality of the law and its oppressive effects. Mark, my fellow
citizens, that by the Admission .of your leaders, the unconstitutionalit must be
palpable, or it will not ustify either resistance or nnllification I What is the
meaning of the word palpabe in the sense in which it is here used? that which
is.apparent to every one; -that which no man of ordinary intellect will fall to
perceive. Is the unconstitutionality of these laws of that description? Let
those among your leaders who once approved and advocated the principle of
protective duties, answer the question ; and let them choose whether they will
be considered as incapable, then. of perceivig that which must have been ap-
parent to every man of common understanding, or as imposing upon your con-
fidence, and endeavoring to mislead you. now. In either case, they are unsafe
guides, in the perilous path they urge you to tread. Ponder well on this cir-
cumstance, and you will know how to appreciate the exaggerted language they
address to you. They are not champions of liberty emulating the fmne of our
Revolutionary Fathers; nor are you an oppressed people, contending, as they
repeat to you, against worse than colonial vassalage. You are free members of
a flourisling and happy Union. There is no settled design to oppress you.
You have indeed felt the unequal operation of laws which may have been un-
wisely, not unconstionally passed; but that inequality must necessarily be
removed. At the very moment when you were madly urged on to the unfor-
tunate course you have begun, a change in public opinion had commenced.
The
cessitynearly approaching paYment of the public debt, and the consequent ne-
of a dinution of duties, had already produced a considerable reduction,
and that, too, on some articles of general consumption in your State: The im-
portance of this change was underrated, and you were authoritatively told that
no further alleviation of your burthens was to be expected, at the very time
when the condition of the country imperiously demanded such a modification of
the duties as should reduce them to a just and equitable scale. But, as if ap-
prehensive of the effiect of this change in allaying your discontents, you were
precipitated into the fearful state in which you now find yourselves.
I have urged you to look back to the means that were used to hurry you on

 APPENDIX. PROCIAATION& Nos. 26, 27. 78i.
Fellow-citizens of the United States! The treatofunhalloweddisunion-
the names of those once respected, by whom it is uttered-the arrayof military
force to support it-denote the approach of a crisis in our affars,on which the
continuance of our unexampled prosperity, our political existence, and perhaps
that of all free governments may depend. The conjuncture demanded a tree, a
il and explicit enunciation, not only of my iotentions, but of my princile of
action; and as'the claim was asserted of a right by a State to annul the aws of
the Union, and even to secede from it at pleasure, a frank exposition of my
opinions in relation to the origin and form of our government, and the con-
struction I give to the instrument by which it was created, seemed to be proper.
Having the fiest confidence in the justness of the legal and constitutional
opinioni of my duties, which has been ex.pese, I rely, with equal confidence,
on your undivided support inmy determination to execute the la --to preserve
the Union by al constitutional mea--to arrest, if possile by mderate but
firm measures, the necessty of a recourse to force; and, if it be the will of
Heaven, that the recurrence of its primeval curse on man for the sheddig of a
brother's blood should fail upon our landi, that it be not called down by any
offensive act on the part of the United States.
Fellow-citizens! Tie momentous case is before you. On your undivided
support of your government depends the decision of the great Suestion it in-
volves, whether your sacred Union will be preserved, and the blessing, it secures
to us as one People, shall be peptuated. No one can doubt that the unanimity
with which that decision will he expressed, will be such as to inspire new eonfi-
dence in republican institutions, and that the prudence, the wisdom, and the
courage which it will bring to their defence, will transmit them unimpaired and
invigorated to our children.
May the great Ruler of Nations grant that the signal blessings with which he
has favored ours, may not, by the madness of party or personal ambition, be
disregarded and lost; and may his wise Providence bring those who have pro-
due thi ersis to see the folly, before they feel the isery ofeivil strife; and
inspire a returning veneration for that Union which, if we may dare to penetrate
his desiM, he hai chosez as the only means of attaining the high destinies to
which we may reasonably aspire.
in tesmony whereof I have caused the seal of the United.States to be
hereunto affixed, having signed the same uith my hand.
Done at the city of Washington, this 10th day of December, in the year

colony of Spain, with which this country is at peace; and whereas it In believed
that this expedition is instigated and set on foot chiefly by foreigners who dare
to make our shores the scene of their guilty and hostile preparations against a
friendly power; and seek by falsehood and misrepresentation to seduce our own
citizens, especially the young and inconsiderate, into their wicked schemes,-
an ungmtel return for the benefits conferred upon them bv this people, in
permitting them to make our country an asylum from oppressionr-and in fla-
grant abuse of the hospitality thus extended to them:
And whereas such expeditions can only be regarded as adventures for plunder
and robbery, and must meet-the condemnation of the civilized world, whil" they
are derogatory to the character of our country,-in violation of the laws of
nations,--and expressly prohibited by our own.. Our statutes declare "that if
any person shall, within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, begin

United States axe at peace, every person, so offending, shah be deemed guilty
of a high misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding thiee thousand dollars,
and imprisoned not more than three years:"
-Now, therefore, I have issued this my Proclamation, warning all persons who
shall connect themselves with any such enterprise or expedition in violation of
our laws and national obligations that they will thereby subject themselves to
the heavy penalties denounced against such offences, and will forreit their claim
to the protetion of this government, or any interference in their behalf, no mat-

No. 42. Respecting Disturbancesin Kansas Terrto7,

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Feb. 11, 1".
A PROCLAMATION.
WHzRzAs indications exist that public tranquillity and the supremacy of law
in the Territory of Kansas, are endangered by the reprehensible acts or pir -
poses of persons, both within and without the same, who propose to direct and
control its political organization by force: It appearing that combinations have
been formed therein to resist the execution of the Territorial laws, and thus, in
effect, subvert by violence all present constitutional and legal authority: It also
appearing that persons residing without the Territory, but near its borders, con-
tmplat armed intervention in the afftairs thereof: Italso appearing that other
persons, inhabitants of remote states, are collecting money, engaging men, and
providing araafor the same purpose: And it further apearing that combinations
wii~n te Terrtory are endeavorg, by the agency of emissaies and otherwise,
to induce individual States of the Union to intervene in.the affairs thereof, in
violation of the Constitution of the United States:
And whereas all such plans for the determination of the future institutions
of the Territory, if carried into action from within the same, will constitute the
fact of insurrection, and if from without, that of invasive aD1resson, and will,
in either case, justify and requiie the forcible interposition oifthe whole power
of the General Government, as well to maintain the laws of the Territory as
those of the Union:
Now, therefore, I, FRANKLIN PIERCE, President of the United States, do
issue this my proclamation to command all persns engaged in unlawfiul combina-
tions against the constituted authority of the Terrltoj-of Kansas or of the United
Statee, to disperse and retire peacubly to their respective abodes; and to warn
all such persons that any attempted insurrection in said Territory, or aggressve
intrusion into the same, will be resisted not only by the employment of the local
militia, but also by that of any available forces of the United States; to the end
of assuring immunity from violence and full protection to the persons, property,
and civil rights of all peaceful and law-abidig- inhabtats of the Territory.
If,in any part of the Union, the fury of faction or fanaticism, inflamed into
dsregard of the great principl s of popular sovereignty, which, under the Con-
stitution, are fundangental in the whole structure of our institutions, is to bring
on the country the dire calamity of an arbitrament of arms in that Territory, it
shall be between lawless violence on the one side, and conservative force on the
other, wielded by legal authority of the General Government.
I call on the citizens, both of adjoining and of distant States, to abstain from
unauthorized intermeddling in the local concerns of the Territory, admonishing
them that its organic law is to be executed with impartial jusce; that all
individual acts of illegal interference will incur ondi ent; and that
any endeavor to intervene by organized force w be firmly withstood.
I invoke all good citizens to promote order by rendering obedience to the law;
to seek remedy for temporary evils by peaceful means; to discountenance and
repulse the counsels an the insti ations of agitators and of disorganizers; and
to testify their attachment to their country, their pride in its greatness, their
appreciation of the blessings they enjoy, and their determination that republican
institutions shall not fail in their hands, by co-operating to uphold the majesty
of the laws and to vindicate the'sanctity of the Constitution.
In testimony whereof I have hereuto set my hand and carsed the seal ofthe
United States to be affixed to these presents.

No. 50. R4ecing the Rebelon and mowon Trou w in'the Tenlo
of Utah.
April 6,1858. BY THE PRESIDNT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMEBIU .

A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAs, the Territory of Utah was settled by certain emigrants from the
States, and from foreign countries, who have for several years p manifeated
a spirit of insubordination to the constitution and laws of the United States.
The great mass of those settlers, acting under the influence of leaders to whom
they seem to have surrendered their judgment, refuse to be controlled by"any
other authority. They have been often advised to obedience, and these friendly
counsels have been answered with defiance. The officers of the federal govern-
ment have been driven from the Territory for no offence but an effort to do their
sworn duty. Others have been prevented from going there by threats of assas-
sination. Judge& have been violently interrupted in the perormance of their
functions, and the records of the courts have been seized and either destroyed or
concealed. Many other acts of unlawful violence have been pere trated, and
the right to repeat them has been openly claimed by the leadm inhabitants, with
at least the sieut acquiescence of nearly all the others. Their hostility to the
lawful government of the country has at length become so violent that no officer'
bearig a commission from the Chief Magistrate of the.Union can enter the Ter-
ritory or remain there with safety; and all the officers recently appointed have
been unable to go to Salt Lake or anywhere else in Utah beyond the immediate
power of the army. .Indeed, such is believed to be the condition to which a
strange system
themofcould

one among opinion the inhabitants
favrorable ofgovernment,
to this that region, or
that no
even
propose to obey its laws, without exposig his life and property to peril.
After caefly considering this state of affairs, and maturely weighing the
obligation I was under to see the laws faithfully executed it seemed to~me right

HeinOnline -- 11 Stat. 796 1837-1868

 APPENDIX. PROCLAMATION. No. 50.
and proper that I should make such use of the mlltar force at mydposalas
might be necessary to protect the federal officers in going into the Territory of
Uoth, and in performing their duties after arriving there. I accordingly or-
dered a detachment of te army to march for the City of Salt Lake, or within
reach of that place, and to act in ease of need as aposse for the enforcement of
the laws. But, in the mean time, the hatred of that misguided people for the
just and legal authority of the government had become so intense that they
resolved to measure their military strength with that of the Union. They have
organized ant armed force far from contemptible in point of numbers, and
trained it, if not with skill, at least with great assiduity and perseverance.
While the troops of the United States were on their march, a train of bagage-
wagons, which happened to be unprotected, was attacked and destroyedby a
portion of the Mormon forces, and the provisions and stores with which the
train was laden were wantonly burnt. In short, their present attitude is one of
decided and unreserved enmity to the United States and to all their loyal citi-
zens. Their determination to oppose the authority of the government by mili-
tary force has not only been exlressed in words, but manifested in overt acts of
the most unequivocal character.
Fellow-citizens of Utah! this is rebellion against the government to which you
owe alle-iance. It is levying war against the United States, and involves you
in the guilt of treason. Persistence in it will bring you to condign punishment,
to ruin, and to shame; for it is mere madness to suppose that, with your limited
resources, you can successly resist the force of this gnat and powerful nation.
If you have calculated upon the forbearance of the United States-if you
have permitted yourselves to suppose that this government will fail to put forth
its strength and bring you to submission-you have fallen into a grave mistake.
'Xou have settled upon territory which lies geogrphieally in the heart of the
Union. The land you live upon was purhsd by the United States and paid
for out of their treasury ; the proprietary right and title to it is in them, and
not in you. Utah is bounded on every side by States and Territories whose
people are true to the Union. It is absurd to believe that they will or can per.
mit you to erect in their very midst a government of your own, not only inde-
pendent of the authority which they all acknowledge, but hostile to them and
their interests.
Do not deceive yourselves nor try to mislead others by propagating the idea
that this is a crusade against your religion. The constitution and laws of this
country can take no notice of your creed, whether it be true or false. That is a
question between your God and yourselves, in which I disclaim all right to inter-
fere. If you obey the laws, keep the peace, and respect the just rights of others,
you will be perfectly secure, and may live on in your present faith or change it
for another at your pleasure. Every intelligent man among you knows very
well that this government has never, directly or indirectly, sought to molest you
in your worship, to control you in your ecclesiastical affairs, or even to influence
you in your religious opinions.
This rebellion is not merely a violation of your legal duty; it is without just
cause, without reason, without excuse. You never made a complaint that was
not listened to with patience. You never exhibited a real grievance that was
not redressed as promptly as it could be. The laws and regulations enacted for
your government by Congress have been equal and just, and their enforcement
was manifestly necessary for your own welfare and happiness. You have never
asked their repeal. They are similar in every material respect to the laws which
have been passed for the'other.Terrtories of the Union, and which everywhere
else (with one partial exception) have been cheerfully obeyed. No people ever
lived who were freer from unnecessary legal restraints than you. Human wis-
dom never devised a political system which bestowed more blessings or imposed
lighter burdens than the government of the United States in its operation upon
the Territories.
But being anxous to save the effusion of blood, and to avoid the indiserimi-
nate punishment of a whole people for crimes of which it is not probable
that all are equally guilty, I ofler now a free and fl pardon to all who will
submit themselves to the authority of the federal government. If you reibse to
accept it, let the consequences fall uponf your own heads. But I conjure you to
pause deliberately and reflect well "before you reject this tender of peace and
good-will.
Now, therefore, !, JAMES BUCHANAN, President of the United States,have
thouc'htproper to issue this, my proclamation, enjoining upon all public officers
in te Territory 9 f Utah to be diligent and faithful, to the full extent of their

HeinOnline -- 11 Stat. 797 1837-1868

ptr, in the execution of the laws; commanding all citizens of the United
tes n said Territory to aid and assist the officers in the perform ce of their
duties; offiering to the inhabitants of Utah, who shall submit to the laws, a free
pardon for the seditions and treasons heretofore by them committed; warning
those who shmall persist, after notice of this proclamation, in the p.rsnt rebellion
aainst the United States, that they mst expect no further lenity, but look to be
rigorously dealt with according to their deserts; and declaring that the military
forces now in Utah, and hereafter to be sent there, will not be withdrawn until
the inhabitants of that Territor shall manifest a proper sense of the duty which
they owe to this government.
testony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed to these presents.

contracts pledging the public lands of Nicaragua and the transit route through
its territory as a security for their redemption and fulfilment.
The hostile design of this expedition is rendered manifest by the fact that these
bonds and contracts can be of no possible valuo to their holders, unless the pres-

HeinOnline -- 11 Stat. 798 1837-1868

 APPENDIX. PROCLAMVATION& Noe. 52, 58.
eant government of Nicaragua shall be overthrown by force. Besides, the envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of that government in the United
States has issued a notice, in pursuance of his instructions, dated on the 27th
instant, forbidding the citizens or subjects of any nation, except passengers
intending to proceed through Nicaragua over the Transit Route from ocean to
ocean, to enter its territory without a regular passport, signed by the proper min-
ister or consul-general of the republic rident ih the country from whence they
shall have departed. Such persons, with this exception, "will be stopped andd
compelled to return by the same conveyance that took them to the country.!
From these circumstances, the inference is irresistible that persons engage in
this expedition will leave the United States with hostile purposes against Nicar-
agua. They cannot, ulder the guise which they have assumed, that they are
peaceful emigrants, conceal their real intentions, and especially when they know,
in advance, that their landing will be resisted, and can only be accomplished by
an overpowerin force. This expedient was successfully resorted to previous to
the last expedition, and the vessel in which those c posing it were conveyed
to Nicaragua, obtained a clearance from the collector of the port of Mobile.
Although, after a careful examination, no arms or munitions of war were dis-
covered on board, yet, when they arrived in Nicaragua, they were found to be
armed and equipped and immediately commenced hostilities.
The leaders of former illegal expeditions of the same character have openly
expressed their intention to renew hostilities against Niearapa. One of them,
'who has already been twice expelled from Nicaragup, has invited, through the
public newspapers, American citizens to emigrate to that republic, and has des-
ianated Mobile as the place of rendezvous and departure, and San Juan del
Rorte as the port to which they are bound. This erson, who has renounced
his allegiance to the United States, and claims to be President of Nicaragua, has
gven notice to the collector of the port of Mobile that two or three hundred of
these emigrants will be prepared to embark from th* port about the middle of
November.
For these and other good reasons, and for the purpose of saving American
citizens who may have been honestly deluded into the belief that they are about
to proceed to Nicaragua as peaceful emigrants, if any such there be from the
disastrous consequences to which theywillbe expoed, I, JAMES BUCHANAN,
President of the United States, have thought it fit to issue this my proclamation
enjoining upon all officers of the government, civil and military, in their respec-
tive spheres, to be Tifgilant, active, and faithfulin supprsi these illegal enter.
prises, and in carrying out their standing instructions to that effect; exhorting
all good citizens, by their respect for the laws and their regard for the peace
and welfare of the country, to aid the efforts of the public authorities in the
discharge of their duties.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
