other, whenever it might be LII their power
as we do the beasts of the field or the forrest
In such case dneliing would be justihable
or might be considered generous Or honora-
bic. And as long as any person acting under
delegated authority will, deliberately claim
jurisdiction over the human life, so long, fear
their constituents, impeiied by poignant
sense of intolerable abuses and insults receiv-
ed, will rashly demand satisfaction by single
combat. But if our civil legislature would re-

their constituents their ineStinablc rights OF

If it were so, that certain part of our race
were ushered into the world In an lndepend-
ent state of manhood, with swords in their
hands or with CROWNS on their heads, we might
consider it as an embleInatical hint, that they
had native right of jurisdiction over our

all born equally helpless and dcfenceless; and
We arc equally dependent on our predecessors
for support and protection. And duty ofpro'
lection On the part of the community is, like.
wise reciprocal and equal. Each member of
the society has some rights, (such as his Lie,
his conscience, sc. which are never pu. into
common stock, because they are "naiienatte
and ines'ima5!e. These the government ought
to guard and protect with peculiar Care. To
guard these is tie primary end Of all civil
governments. Each member during good
behavior is entitled to the prote ction and hos
pi,ality of the comn1unity: BY his miscon-
duct he may in some measure forfeit his claim
to their protection and hospitality. He may
deserve to be confined or expelled. But he
