History

"[The details of this bill interfere with the municipal legislation of the States, with the relations existing exclusively between a State and its citizens, or between inhabitants of the same State - an absorption and assumption of power by the General Government which, if acquiesced in, must sap and
destroy our federative system of limited powers It is another step, or rather stride, to centralization and the concentration of all legislative power in
the National Government. The tendency of the bill must be to resuscitate the spirit of rebellion, and to arrest the progress of those influences which
are more closely drawing around the States the bonds of union and peace."
