I t is said that Congr:. cannot, under the grant "Of the power to raise armit-n, pl c., by li.rcp, and at their own dKreUou the- citi zen . of a State in the ranks t.f the army the Confederate. State?. That , power to do 'so wuld be desalt iv: in it1 t,alur , and far greater and m'r daueroU-j than any po ficriied by tile Govvr runout ; snhjecting, as it docs, tlje personal freed-m of every citizen to arbitrary di.-cretion. And, muivovftr, that it would be ifiO'nsitent with tin rights of t lie biatts ; putting their very existence at the mercy of the C nfe hrato Government. That a mere general gr'it. of the power to rr.iae armies, without sn;ifying the mode iu which they 'are lobe ra'eil, cannot be in 1 t to confer an authority so repugnant to the spiiit of iee ins-titnlions, the principles o-i widch onr Const ituiiu 11 rests, and the rights secured by it. . ' . The po'.ver of coercing the citiz.'ii to render military service, f r n.;h time and under such circimistah'-es as the Government may think lir, is indeed, ;i trans' eadant power; but so far tVian being in'con-istt nt with liberty, it h es sential to its piv-ervfttiou. A natioo c-inot foresee ihextent of tne-dangers t which it ii;y be '.xpo-od, it mii-t, therofor-, grant to its G vernrjient a power tqual t every possi ble emergency ; and this ;n only be done by "ivi:i2 to i control of its whole military strength. The dinger that the power may in ay be ahiwos canuot Tender it piop-cr to withold it, for it is necessary .to the national W.i' T. ha.ard of abu-e should be guarded agaiiist by so framing the Government as 'o render it uniikeiy that it will Uoe the power oppressively. Tiie leal (jm-s-tioii fer our consideration then, is not uivthcr Hie power exists, but w-ktrc it exists, lias it boii oonferred on tne (yonlederate Government, or i it rrtaiced lv th'e States? In its effecs upo-i the individual pers'nail, the act of CMnpelling him to ren der the s'.rviee, is tiie same wh ther it. is per formed hy the Stale, or 1 y the Confederate Government. Tie? question, as to which of thvn: should cxrci.-o tho autlioriiv, 'relates r.ieiily to the pro; er distributi 411 of political J power Lctwctn tle tw. Governments. Ad the idea, tiiat iirst sugoe-ts itseli', is, that it ought to be placed in the hands of the one which is charged with the duty of providing (or the defence of the country ; for a Gov ernment " from whsj agency the attainment of any avt is expected, ought to possess the means by which it is to l o attained." Tiie clauses of the Confederate Constitution relating to the military power and its exer cise, have been adopted without change from the Consritiuion of the United States the jnnetitiments to the latter bdng inserted iu the body uf the former. "Whatever, thcra lore, throws light upon the meaning of the Constitution ot the United States on this point, throws equal light upon the meaning of ours. It is well known that the Union of the Colonies was formed for the' propose of com bined resistance to the oppres&ions of the m.ither country. Delegates from the several Otolites constituted a Congress, which assumed the conduct of the war, in the name and on behalf of all the C lonies, which soon be came the United States of America. But the Congress could exercise the power of compel ling citiz-insto serve iu the army only through tiie intervention of the States, by means of requisitions upon them lor their respective quotas of men. "And, bting unable to i-n-totco compliance with these requisitions, it was found impossible to raise an army suffi cient for the vigorous -prosecution 'of the war. This ddViculty, which hail been so painfully felt throughout the contest, and which, in deed, put to serious hazard the success of the cause, was one of the chief reasons urged in favor of the change of tho form of Govern ment, effected by the adoption of the Consti tution of the United Statc3. It was insisted that the Government, having the power f determining ou peace and war, and charged with the duty of providing for the common defence, should be invested with power com mensurate with that end, and that this could only be done by abandoning the system of re quisitions upon the States, and authorizing the l'tder;d Government to act directly upon individuals. These views prevaited, the Con stitution being framed in accordance with them. It will be observed that a broad distinction is made in the Constitution, between the'm tiu" and the "arinic" referred to iu it the pow- rs conferred on Congress, and (-eniert to tiie States, in reference to the one, being r widely different from the powers conferred and denied, in reference to the other. Ami, indeed, the two words could riot have been used to convey tho .same ida. An army is a body of men whose business is war. The militia a body of men composed of citizens occupied ordinarily in the pursuits of civil life' but organized for discipline and drill, and called into the field for temporary military service when the exigencies of the country require it. The experience acquired during the revo lutionary war had demonstrated what, indeed, all previous experience had taught, that how ever valuable a militia, may be, it is un b!e to cntend permanently ant successully with veteran troops; and that it would bo, in the last degrei, unafo to trust to it exclusively for the defence of the country. It was well known that a regular army would be absolute ly indi: pensahle in a protracted contest with a powerful nation. Accordingly, in spite of the jealousy, inherited, from their English ances tors, against standifg armies, the framers of the Constitution gave t Conyrcss the power to raise ami support annus." There is cer tainly nothing in tiie terms of the grant to re rict Congress to voluntary enlistments as a means of raising armies. Nor docs any suffi cient reason appear wny such restriction should have. bee u iiwped. .Tho exyerUuea- of ie 4 Kevoiution had shown that it was necessary to icsort to compulsion to fill the ranks of the army. This compulsion had not, it is true, been applied by the Federal G 'vc.nmeut; but that wad because it had no power to re rrt to it, being confined to rcquisions upon .the States. Tne States had tto power; and i:i conipiianc with the rt qoisiti ns' mado upon them by Congress, continually exereisnl it, not for the purpose of bringing out the militia merely, but tor the purpose, a'so of tilling the ranks of tho regular army, when voluntary euhstu.eiits fell short of the, number to bf fur nished for it. Seo Marshall's Life of Wash-. Ion. vol. 4, p. 241. Ins ances of such legislation are to be found on the statute books of this State. I.n May, 1777, au act vs passed "for tho more speedily compelling the quota of. troops to be raised in this Commonwealth for tho Con tinental army and for othvr purposes' iu which it was prviode I that if. before the 10th day of August 17?7, a suffi.-int number of men should not have been enlisted to make up the quota required, tho deficiency should, bo made up-by drafts from tne militiaard that each man so drafted should be, "to all intents and purposes, considered as a regular soldier," aud should serve as such fer three years, if the war should sn long continue. See 9 lljn iijg's Statute at large, p. 275. See, also, the same vol. of Heuiiri. p. 337, and vol. 10, id, ps. 82' 214, 209, 833, and volume 11 id, p. 14. f.r instances ot simoar legislation. Other intranets might doubtless be pointed out; but these are amply sufficient to put it beyond doubt that compulsory drafting was au ordinary means ussd for tilling the ranks of the regular Continental aimy. This, of course, was well known to the framers of the Consiuution of the United States. If it had been tneir design to restrict Cmgrcsa to vol untary enlistments, a: the maan of raising armies, is it at all pn bablo that they would have failed so to declare in express terms ? Iu granting the power' to raise armies, " without any words of iimua'ioii or re.stiiction as to the modulo be employed, they must be understood as intending that the power shoiiJd be exercised hi any and all of the modes which had been previously employed by the States. Fid'l power to make war was. vested iu th Federal Government. Of course it coiild-not have been intended, if ao offensive war, ne cessary for tiie assertion of jhtj rigots or vin dication of the honor of the nation, should bo undertaken, to withhold Irom the Govern ment the means of prosecuting ii with suc cess, by denying lo it tho use of any troops, except such as might be obtained by voluntary enlistment. Yet tisis was done, ii the power to use compulsion to fill the rank of the army was not conferred on Congress ; for the militia can lie called out only for the purpose of ex ecuting tlu laws, suppressing insurrections, or repciling invssioi s.
