"And since the seceding states, by establishing a new constitution and form of federal government among themselves, without the consent of the rest..."
I don't think that's correct since on February 28, 1787 the states consented, through a vote in Congress, to call for a convention to meet in May to revise the Articles. And when the Convention was done, the states, through a vote in Congress, agreed to send it to the states for ratification. Consent of the states is clear.
And as for his claim that "...each state possessing the same right of withdrawing itself from the confederacy without the consent of the rest, as any number of them do, or ever did, possess" is directly contradicted by the man who appointed him to his judicial position, James Madison, who said "A rightful secession requires the consent of the others, or an abuse of the compact, absolving the seceding party from the obligations imposed by it."
Since he was there, that is doubtful. No consent was required from every State that ever existed, it was only required of those states that wish to participate in the new Compact.

Provide a specific source you quote, please. 'Madison said' a lot of things.
