SPEECH OF HON- B- F- GRADY
. Tlve House bavins; under consider
ation the bill (11. R 2331) . to repeal
all statutes relatin g to supervisors of
elections and special deputy marshals,
and for other purposes
Mr. Gr'.dy said :
Mr Speaker : The debate to which
we have been listening for some days
ias been of painful interest to rae.
Many of the opinions advanced
seem to me utterly at variance with
the lintirnate deductions from well-
known facts in our history, and many
unkind and unjust accusa'ions have !
been preferred against the people (

tions against Lite peopa of the South
Ca!toun lias been d-..-noi::iCi d as tlie
chief tipostle of the vicious opinions
of those people, I slull content my'
I self with recalling the words of Dan-
iei eosier in ma m:erai oration;
Mr. President, he had the basis,
the indispensable basis of all hih
.
j character, and that was unspotted in-
tegrity. unirnpeached honor and char
acter. If he had aserations they
were high, and honorable, and noide.
'I here was nothing groveling, or low.
or meanly selli-m t!iat ever came near
the head or heart of Mr. Calhoun.
These words, ?Ir. Speaker I com
mend to those gentlemen on this ll or
who can not rise above sectional ani
mosity, or to a just appreciation of
honorable mmhood.
The forefatliers of these people,
Mr, Speaker, were not lawyer; but
when th 'y decided to carry their State
into the Union thev understood
what they were do ng. The Consti
tution had been fully discussed for
more tiiaii two years, its advocates
had explained all of its provisions,
and their dobt had i')oen reraoyed;
and if orth Carolina delegated pow
ers which s!ie did not intend to dele
gate she was deceived; ideceivel a
fraud was practiced on !i;r, anA she
w us induced by false representation?;
to eater into a disastrous compact
with the other twelve States. The
understanding at that time was that
they were forming a perfect union of
the States, more perfect in that it
provided more satisfactory and more
eilicient means and methods of doing
what the Confederation was designed
to accomplish a3 set forth in Arti
cle III :
The said States hereby severally
enter into a G rm league of friendship
with each other for their common de
fence, the security of their liberties,
ami their mutual and general wel
fare. The historical facts which I desire
to present iu the limited time alloted
to me must be 1 brieily sta'ed and
somewhat unsatisfactorily arranged.

: t si t ion. It is true that Mr. HamlK
tort, Mr. Mr.d!vin. Mr. Jtftferson, and j
' ,i . ,.f .W
j ed th people- .if the United States a
11
nation, (iv.n 1uritnt the Contcitera
tioii, raid Mr. Hamilton in the Fed
eralist frequently calls the Confeder
ation iui -Empire " but to infer or
claim t!iat the people of these States
nre, constitutionally, a "nation"; be
cause those gre:it men called them so,
is no more justiJable than to c'all the
United Slates an "Empire" because
Mr. IftAnikon called them s(. , ,
The contention that we are now a
nation, spelled with a capital N," is
based on the assumption, in psrt.
that the Government of the United
States-is a "government of the pco-j.
;
'nle. by the people, and for the peo
pie, tliat i a popular govern mciu
as those words are usually under-
stood; that is, agovernment wherein
a majority of the people govern,
Hut, Mr. Speaker, this is untrue.
There is no proyission of the Con
stat u' ion, expressed or .implied, re-
quiring a majority or the people to
.elect a majority ot either llouse oi
Congress or the President.
As a pointer just here, let rae re-
mind the" "gentlemen that every act of .
Congress recognizes the character of
the Government in its enacting clause
The language is : -
He itehacted ye the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
scmbied, etc -
That is, the "United State in Con
gress assembled," which was'thelan-t-ni
ie of the '.'onfederation. when the
proceedings of eacli day's session in
the Journal commenced by announc
ing which "States" were present.
Let me here, parenthetically, ask
gentlemen to get their dictionaries
and hunt up the origin, hiRtory, and
definitions of "State" and 'Common-
wealth." The first and decisive fact
i
which can not be disputed is that no
bill can become a law unless agreed,
to by a majority of the States in tlfe
Senate, and no Slate can be deprived
of its equal voice in the Senate with-
i
out its consent. -
Another fact pointing in the same
direction is that if there is no elec
tion of President by electors chosen
by the States, a majority of the States
in the House of Representative? must
make the selection.
Takin?my facts from' the census
and other reports, I have construct
ed some tables which reveal three jor
four sUitlu.g truths. I find .that
twenty. three States ot the Union,
containi. not quite twelve and ' a
half millions of people that is, a
bout one fifth of the population pf,tbe
United States, excluding Territories
can control the Senate with forty
six Senators; can control the.appoint
ment of judges of all the United
States courts ; ambassadors, ministers,
and consuls to foreign countries; the
heads of Department-, and all other
officers whose confirmation by the
Senate is required by the Constitu
tion, and veto any measure demand
ed by the people.
I rind aain that twelve States,
containing" HtHe over 33,000,000

Speaker, lis much of the talk we hear
on this floor about the -National
Government" and the powers of the
nation."
We have a recent case in our his
tory showing the absolute control of
legislation by a minority of the peo
ple. During the Fifty-second Con
gress, while the Democrats in the
n.wisfi of Representatives were en
deavoring to deprive the classes of j
the power to levy tribute on tne nuv,
ses, and to reduce expenditures . fi
the peoples' money, they were met at
every point by an adverse majority
in the Senate, which did not represent
a msioruv of the whole people.
