Chairman: This plan violates the Constitution of your country. It invades the riglits of State Governments. It is a direct infringement of their sovereignty. It concentrates all power in the General Government, and deprives the States of their necessary security. " " Much less can I forget that the Governor of NewYork (Mr. Tompkins), who has lent himself to the Administration as the pioneer of conscription, did pardon a horse-thief on condition that he should enlist. " "I have followed four chi...ldren to the tomb. Under present circum- stances ought I repine their loss? When I see the attempt to fasten this conscription on ns, ought I to regret that they have gone to heaven? My daughters, had they lived, might have been the mothers of conscripts: my sons might have been conscripts themselves. " "I have carefully examined this conscription question with all the seriousness and attention required by the solemnity of the occasion. I have exercised that small measure of talent which it has pleased the Almighty to bestow upon me, and I have arrived at this conclusion : the plan of conscription violates the Constitution : it trenches on the rights of the States, and takes from them their necessary security ; it destroys all claim to personal freedom ; it will poison all the comforts of this peo- ple.
