To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And is there any remedy or retribution ? We answer that it concerns the other States, in that portion of their sovereignty not delegated to the general government, nor even to the State legislatures. It concerns the sovereign people of each State in this Union, and them only. Congress has no powers to represent them. The people of the sovereign States have delegated no powers to any agent, State or general, to represent them. In their conventions alone can they meet this issue, by either delega...ting powers to some agent or agencies equal to the emergency; or consider what other appropriate remedies, if any, are necessary. Tothe ques- tion, is there any retribution for secession? we say: not under the Constitution.
But outside of the Constitution, is retribution to be sought? If the States feel justly offended because the seceding State has withdrawn from their alliance, they can treat her as a hostile neighbor, a nation with whom they have cause ot war, and may follow her with all tlie means that the law of nations points out in cases of public war.
