Mr, Kittrdl, C4 the argutueut, treated tbe subject in a uUffereut hnt. He assumed sub stitution to be a couttadt. tut insisted Ceo gress had no power, to ,t&iku that ftarftuuUr sort of contract, pu tlie grouud, tltat it would be M politiual auioide;' for, said- be, if Con gress has power to deprive tbe conn try by its contract of the services of 1000 uf its citi zens, it may extend it uy lO0,O0Xi and 500. 000, and so we would have no citizen sol diers f !"

I will observe thai this mode of rea-! soning, by supposing extreme cascv apt to lead to truth, and is very apt to cover fallacy, (as it mantoUy does ia this instance) : for, allow tJiat in the extreme case put, it would be political suicide,' docs it prove I cant of power, or an abuse of power ? That's .1 . Tf- ar a a toe quesuon. u uongress tms tne power, whether it win so exercise it, as to commit suicide, or to stultify ttse!f is a matter" "with which the courts have no concern, and a pro- per respect wr a co-rvlinate branch ot the Government forbids tbe judiciary from mak ing an extreme supposition, . m order to ex press a conjecture, bow far a power; may be so abused, as to avoid it, and require tbe courts to say it shall not be exercised, under that bead of jurisdiction, by which the courts, prevent mad-men or idiots from injur ing themselves or wasting Uieir substance." Congress has power to borrow money on the credit rf the Ckmfederati States. Itbas, (I believe.) borrowed, fifteen millions, aud pledged the export duty on cotton, it hud pow er to do so, as a meaua accessary and proper to enaoie n to oorrow uie money, tun out this reasoning, by turiposing extreme cases: Congieas borrows-14-mlhous more, and pledges the export duty on tobacoo; it then borrows 150. bulions and pledges all export and import du ties, and all money that may be raised b direct taxation;- this might be politiual suicide or smltitTcatioa, and after tbe money is spent, the Government would have . no assets, and no ...means of raising any:" but will any one venture to aver, on tins rea senitii. that Couirrcss had 00 power fo bor-1 port dutyron cotton ? .The ahnouiicemeut of sooaa pmpoaittoa' would tarU tbecaamer Take a ajMi,.bo!i)em Qov .
