Balancing the two, they wisely, in order to diminish the latter evil, yielded the former advantage. Can it be said, in the face of these inhibitions, that the Government has not the constitutional right, nay, that it is not its absolute duty, by coercion, to put down rebellion by the people of any State or government ? 18 He reads the Constitution with a very indistinct ap- preciation of the meaning and intent of these clauses, who will maintain State sovereignty or the right of secession. We m...ight upon the fact of this appropriation of all the essential attributes of sovereignty to the United States Government, and their denial to the States, rest our assertion that, by this scheme of a Constitution for the United States, State sovereignty was abolished. But, in our endeavor to exhaust the subject, we proceed to show, that the States cannot, with appro- priate language, be called sovereign and independent States, even within their appropriate sphere. By article 4, section 1, it is provided, that "full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the pub- lic acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other State ;" and to Congress is given the power " to pres- cribe the manner in which such acts, records, and judi- cial proceedings are to be proved, and their effects.
