   Fort Wayne Times And Peoples Press (Newspaper) - February 14, 1846, Fort Wayne, Indiana                               TIMES PEOPLE'S VOL 6 TIMES AND PRESS The Congress tho un- dor the constitution to protect the domestic industry of the country foreign com- 1 and foreign policy 1 Upon this tion the Iwo great political parties of lho country are divided by as broad a line of distinction perhaps as upon any the Democrats generally denying and the Whigs affirming the power Which is right? 5 Let us examine question for a This right must reside somewhere in every sovereign state It is an attribute of and cannot be separated from it nor is of annihilation This right before of the Federal constitution be to the several stales Each could oWn peculiar interests against all world and several of availed themselves of this right Each 5 impose what duties it pleased upon the of others or of the world into it Inseparable from it must i be with and if so thought still exists somewhere Where is I Il was in states for they were reign Il is with them they have delegated il il is nowhere The losl position cannot be true because if an at- tribute of sovereignty it must exist while sovereignly endures The first cannot be because by the 10th Section of the 1st Article ofthe constitution lho Slates have ly and expressly divested themselves of Then the second hypothesis must be the true one The states have delegated il To Can any other answer be given lo general No sane man will pretend it It has been asked in what part of tho con- I tho grant is lo bo We care il is nol found at all We have shown thai the States have expressly divested 5 selves of it and as it is incapable of T tion except with the sovereignty to which il J attaches it must still No one will ny thai Texas previous lo her annexation lo this government had this right in its fullest t extent and no one will pretend that she has now What then has become of Clearly the answer must be lhat it was trans- ferred with her sovereignly to the federal government Bul we answer the grant is to be found in the power to levy and collect taxes Ah says the caviller there is nol a word here about protection True But here is granted the means of protection against foreign competition and foreign policy nd the grant of ft right to use tho means tent to of an end wilh il a grant of light lo accomplish the end Then there is no of ibis power lo levy and colled any more than there is one word aboul ying and just enough for revenue and no more It appears to us lhat this view of the subject is to consideration and influence in constructing a limitation upon the power lo levy expressly cd by the to Congress Without that limitation the power lo lay duties would unqualified and duties mijsht be laid for FORT WAYNE IND FEBRUARY 14 1846 NO 1 FOR THE TIMES ic While the whole political commercial and mechanical world is undergoing ments and the world is full of new mind with its Inventions is actively and
