gn States, bound together by a Constitution, from which each State could secede or withdraw at its own will. By the Democratic party Mr. Jefferson is considered the father of the doctrine of States rights, and yet in his first inaugural address he says: If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated, where reason is left free to combat it. Calhoun believed in the right of secession. Henry Clay declared in the Senate chamber in 1850: In my opinion there is no right on the part of any one or more States to secede from the Union. He depicted with horoscopic certainty the results that would ensue upon its consummation. Webster asserted the people of the United States have declared that the Constitution shall be the supreme law. He denied both the right of nullification and secession. Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declarat

d semipolitical government at Washington in the Davis' long sway at the Capitol. Today, in both sections of the Union and abroad their names have gone down the aisles of time linked in one. In the autumn after his marriage Mr. Davis was elected to Congress by a handsome majority, promptly taking a prominent stand and gaining quick recognition for vigor and eloquence in championing the ultra pro-slavery and states rights wing of the Democracy.

In 1846 the Mexican War brought his resignation, to accept command of the regiment of Mississippi Rifles, soon attached to General Taylor's Army of the Rio Grande. There it gave such good account of itself and its commander as to warrant special mention in orders for Monterey, and Davis' splendid charge at Buena Vista—in which he was severely wounded—brought another flattering report to Washington, whether or not, his

e happy state of having no annals; no financial, no economic issue; no broil with foreign parts; no anarchy at home. There is no pillow of rest for freedom. Calhoun. In the decade between 1840 and 1850 the warder on the watch tower had been the great son. I had almost said the great soul, of South Carolina. In blistering speech, Calhoun had defined the bond which held the gathering host of pillage. He called it the cohesive power of public plunder. The spoils system, he said, must ultimately convert the whole body of office-holders into corrupt sycophants and supple instruments of power; and, again, let us not deceive ourselves—the very essence ox-payers. With a simple dignity befitting senates, on the 11th of January, 1861, Mr. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, spoke as follows: I have often heard Mr. Calhoun say that most of the conflicts in every government would be found at last to result in the contests between two parties, which he denominated the tax consuming
