James Blaine: “Though passion may have strained, it must not break, our bonds of affection.”

Is any portion of the people bound to contribute their money or their blood to carry on a contest like that?

Under such circumstances, to send a military force into any State, with orders to act against the people, would be simply making war upon them.

The States are colleagues of one another, and if some of them shall conquer the rest, and hold them as subjugated provinces, it would totally destroy the whole theory upon which they are now connected.

You can use force only to repel an assault on the public property and aid the Courts in the performance of their duty.
