The Washington Globe, in a recent article upon Nullification, said:-- "The Judges of the Supreme Court are sworn to support the Constitution as they understand it. The President of the United States is not only authorized, but required, when the Judiciary of the Union proves too weak to execute the laws, to call to their aid the militia and the army of the United States."
The Washington Telegraph quotes this sentence from the Globe, and very adroitly adds:--
"Let us apply this to the Georgia question, and all the difficulties which have hitherto involved that question, are immediately at an end. The Judges have decided on the constitutionality of the law, and have only to issue their process for carrying their decree into effect. If the authorities of Georgia refuse to obey the process of the Court, the President, to use the words of the Globe, is not only authorized, but required to call to their aid, the army and navy of the United States."
