And this; would seem the more reasonable; if ii sSould be considered that some of Uhe State Legislatures have,at their sessions of 1834 '5, instructed their Senators to void for expunging the resolution of the Senate in question; and, though their instructions have been disregarded,, have, at theirllast sessions, declined to repeat and enforcrf them. But I choose to place myself, at once upon different and; higher ground; ' and to act up to the principles, reasons, and motives, which, in reality, dictate the con duct I am going to pursue ! ,t It cannot escape observation,that, while the General Assembly instructs me lo ex punge the resolutions of the Senate, which I voted lor in conformity with the instruc tions of) the, Assembly, of .1833 '4, the present Assembly has not expunged the resolutions pf the former Assembly. And v ihough (if Iain riglnly informed) a proposi tion has been made to rescind the ; former ' resolutions,' even that proposilion -has not yet been acted on. So that I am to under J siaiid that llie General Assembly is-instructing me to do, iu respect to a former 'res olution of the .Senate that ..which it will not do, itself in respect to resolutions pas ed at a former session of its own. body I must bespeak pardon for remarking, further, that, ihough proceedings have been had in Congress, and some laws have been passed, violating, in the opinion of the Gen eral Assembly, the dearest right of tit People take, for example, the sedition T. law; and though, too, many laws have been passed by ihe Federal Legislature, -which, in the opinion of the General As sembly, transcended its constitutional pow ers, and encroached onabe ngtits of , the 1 t . ' i v . Slates ; yet it lias never, uercioiore, occur red to the General Assembly, in any case or at any lime, to asset t ana vindicate the riptt of the reople. or the right of. the Slates, against such assumptions of power. by Congress, by an expunciion (literal or, typicaH of the obnoxious proceedings from the journals of the two Houses. And now,. tor the iirst ume, wnen a simple resolu tion of the Senate is , supposed (by m . I . : ' . a some unaccouniaiue misconception, oi its import arid intention) to encroach .upon the rights of the nalidoaf branch of the Federal Legislature, which 'probably has riot perceived aid cerlai ply baa not complain-, ed of the eneroachment---or (to speak, plainly) when the Senate has presumed to question the rights and powers claimed for die Executive t)epartinent by the Prcsi- dent, who alone has complained and pro tested against j its proceeding5-I see thet General Assembly ' of Virginia coming for ward to vindicate the right and powers claimed by the President, by this process, of expunction.i which it has never thought of resorting to for the vindication either of tlu rights ofihePeopUl or the rtghU of the Slates 1 I mention these strange con trasts, because they have raised the gloom iest apprehensions, in my mind, of ap proaching danger to bur republican ' insti tutions, aud because those apprehensions have had an iinportintr influence in deter mining my judgment and my conduct, un der the extraordinary instructions which the General Assembly has thought proper lo give me.
