Jut ions having been filly expewed in tlie Cnvenlion by YI.idi.-on, llantiltoh, Mavm and Martin, they were voted down unar.iinously, ec)i State easting one vote. These were the ouly attempts which were made in the Conven tion to consiJiuate tl" jeole and to trans fer their sovereignty to a new nation, pro posed to be created by the Convention. Tlieir failute wasntt signal sn l complete. The Pliiladelphia Convention was a body of delegate from each Sute, tly aJilhorixed to draft a Constitution,. ami not empowered to give it the loast validly. " The draft of the Federal Const! ttu ion wu reported by Wasliington to the Confederate Congress, and by its order submitted for adoDtum to the peotSfc of the separate 8tates, a a m-nsrate comtiiunitv or Datiod. ami, of course, derive U its powers, irMw m SUxU, from tlie consent of the people thereof, to whom it occupies the skim; relation as tliat heW by their separate Vutc Oovermnents. The conclusion to which I arrive i that flic people of each State constitutes substan tially a,sovireign nation, that each one, by tlie adoption of tlie Federal Constitution, created for itself two distinctG;ovcrntncnts or agots, upon each of which it conferred certain specified powers, and that the powers of one or both at these agents may be revok ed by tlie people of any State themselves wlte never, in their sovereign wiM, such revo cation may become desirable. .Having, as I think, shown that each State is really sovereign, and that this is the main principle, the very cornerstone of our system of government, it necessarily follow that U call of Mr. Lincoln for scventy8ve thousand men, and the acquiescence of certain States in that call, the men to be used in a war against States which had asserted tlieir rniwrr tijnfy, an4 tofeiy lecavc Oey had amertfi it.
