Toombs, of Georgia, on Property in Territories: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, May 21, 1860 Sir, if you will look through your State and Federal constitutions everywhere, you will find written in letters of light the recognition of this principle.

For what does it enjoin the high duty on this Federal Government to protect each State against invasion from without and domestic violence? Sir, there is 'but one answer - protection, protection.
