Mr. DAWES. I think the remarks of the Gentfrom Ohio Mr. Ls BLOND] ought not to go unnoticed, or I think he has no authority for the statement he has made concerning the Gentfrom Pennsylvani [Mr. S'rnvi iss, the distinguished chairman o the ComAppropriat, not now in his seat. I have never heard fall from the Gentfrom Pennsylvania anything to war rant the statement that he now holds to the doctrine that the southern States had the right to 0 out of the Union. I differ quite widely with the Gentfrom PennsyIvania, Mr. Srsvizxs] as to the condition in which those States are at this time. But it is due to him in his absence that no memberlupon this floor should be permitted to so grossly mifipresent his opinions in that regard. New, I do not believe, with the Gentfrom Pennsylvania [Mr. S'rsvsssf and the Gentfrom Maryland, Mr. Haaais] who as just taken his seat, that these southern States are out of the Union. But I do believe with the Gentfrom Pennsylvania that they had no right to 0 out of the Union. If I understand the Gentfrom Pennsylvania might although have no authority to speak for him and no ability to expound his views here his opinion is that these States fought themselves as it were out of the Union; that as the result of the war between them and the Union, in which they were recognized as belligereuts, they became, and are now, conquered territory; and that the U.S. being the conquerors have the authority to treat them as conquered territory. I believe that to be the position of the Gentfrom Pennsylvania. Idiffer in thatopinion verywidely from the entleman. But I feel thatrI would be doing im great injustice if I were to sit here and permit the Gentfrom Ohio [Mr. Li: BLOND] to go uncontradicted when he declares that the Gentfrom Pennsylvania [Mr. STEVENS] ever held anywhere that under the Constitution the southern States had a right to go out of the Union. The rand difference between the Gentfrom Iennsylvania and the Gentfrom Maryland is this: the gentlemau from Maryland holds that under the Constitution and by virtue of the Constitution itself any State had the right to secede from the Union, being itself the judge of the sufficiency of the cause for seceding.
