A dis- pute arises, and one of your officers is killed. By the Constitution, the offender is entitled to trial " by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. " You must try him in South Carolina; but you have no court there, and cannot do so. This is one of the many illustrations to show that the whole working of our system rests on the consent of the State. And so, I say, that every force bill reported to the House, inasmuch as it provides for the... employment of the military power independently of civil process, is therefore a war measure. So of the bill under consideration; so, also, of the bill of the gentleman from New York, [Mr. Reynolds, ] and of the gentleman from Ohio, [Mr, Bingham. ] They all provide for the use of the military power, independently of civil authority, in the enforcement of the laws, and are all war measures. And now, sir, permit me to say that I do not stand here autho- rized to speak for any State in a particular emergency, nor do I undertake to do it.
