We sit here, sir, and pei'form valid acts of legislation solely by virtue of the Constitution. It is our warrant of attorney to act for and in behalf of our constituents. Beyond it and without it we have no more power than any other congregation of citizens convened of their own motion ; and our acts would be of no more binding obligation than would those of such voluntary congregation, except that there would be a presunijition that Congress, assum- ing to act in its official capacity, was act...ing within tlie pale of its constitutional power, till the contrary should clearly ajipear. The existence of war, sir, can- not enlarge our constitutional powers, though it may call into action existing powers which but for the war would be dormant. The same is equally true in regai'd to liie executive and judicial departments of the Government. It is with regret that I sometimes hear thrown out in this Hall the idea tliat the perils of war nut}' warrant the exercise of unconstitutional pi wer ; that the public safety is the supreme law.
