When it was proposed to annex Louisiana to the Federal Union, the legislature passed the following resolution: That the annexation of Louisiana to the Union transcends the constitutional power of the government of the United States. It formed a new confederacy, to which the States united by the former compact are not bound to adhere. In the year 1844 it was resolved by that legislature: . .. .That the project of the annexation of Texas, unless arrested on the threshold, may drive these States into a dissolution of the Union. The opinion of the conservative element in the North, that this agitation was an invasion of the constitutional rights of the South, was expressed by that grand old constitutional lawyer, Daniel Webster. In a speech at Buffalo, delivered on May 22, 1851, he said: Then there . .was the fugitive slave law. Let

Rutledge of Talladega, Ala., a descendant of the celebrated South Carolina family of that name. Brigadier-General William Henry Forney, brother of Gen. John H. Forney, was born at Lincolnton, N. C., November 9, 1823. In 1835 he went with his parents to Calhoun county, Ala. Here he received his elementary education, and then entered the university of Alabama, where he was graduated in 1844.
