Buchanan (search for this): article 1
t seems strange to us that his capacity for mischief in this particular should have been overlooked, when our country is intersected by so many navigable rivers. Land batteries seem to be no longer capable of stopping the advance of gunboats and steam batteries. The Virginia and Monitor have rendered fortifications on the bay, river, or seashore, utterly worthless. The heaviest guns can scarcely make an indentation in their armor. We must take care that the magnificent success of Capt. Buchanan do not prove a snare to us, as the victory of Manassas was. We slept after that, victory and gave the enemy's time to organize and discipline one of the largest armies known to modern history. We proved to them that we were a fighting people, which previously they did not believe, and they profited by the knowledge. We have let them see what the Virginia can do, and already, we have no doubt they are imitating, her. Let us not, for God's make, if it be possible, be left behind, but let

President Davis, who knows as much about the Constitution as any other man, appears to regard it as entirely constitutional.--He recommends this plan as the best for "exercising the power of raising armies, which is vested in Congress by the Constitution." But even if it were necessary to go beyond the Constitution in this case, did not Mr. Jefferson tell us that the power to purchase Louisiana was not to be found in the Constitution? Is not the safety of the State superior to all laws and all Constitutions? Is it not expressly defined by jurists as the Supreme Law? And did any emergency ever arise in which the safety of any State was more directly involved? Gentlemen appear to fear that this power, thus exercised, may lead to a despotism among us.

Dudley Davis (search for this): article 2
The conscription — again. There is one excellent feature in the conscription proposed by President Davis. It leaves at home all men over thirty-five years of age. There ought to be at home, always, a certain number of men to maintain order and supervise preparations for the field. It will have another excellent effect. All the States will be made to contribute equally to the war, and no one State will be called upon to bear an undue share of the burden. With regard to the constitutionality of the law. President Davis, who knows as much about the Constitution as any other man, appears to regard it as entirely constitutional.--He recommends this plan as the best for "exercising the power of raising armies, which is vested in Congress by the Constitution."
