Speaker, perhaps it may be demanded t»f me wiieiuer the militia may noi oe called forth until an invasion actually taK. Es place. It may be asked, must tne government wait until the enemy lands upon our shores, before it can resort to this force? Upon tins point I would- answer, that the act of Congress passed in 1/95 to carry into effect that part of the Constitution now under considera- tion places this subject on its proper footing. That act authorises the President to cait forth the militia... in case of invasion or imminent danger of invasion, This in terms is an extension of the provisions of the instrument, and it certainly goes to the very verge of the Constitutional limit; but I am disposed to think that it is a sound exposition of its true intent and meaning. The words of this law, not to be found in the Constitution, are these — " imminent danger of invasion" and they seem to have been carefully selected for their accuracy and precision. By imminent danger is meant— impending, threat- cuing, danger — danger at hand.
