Government, but in any event could not fail to
the cordial and almost unanimous ao-
quiescence and support OF all the slave States.
This would combine weight Of moral power as
irresistible as harmonious-pre presenting spec
tacle to attract the admiration and confidence
Of the white race every where, with unmistak-
able assurances that, as the red man recedes
from the wilderness Of this country at the ap- J
proach of civilization, il is to make room for the
industry and peace Of the white mans home,
and not for the introduction of o den Of thieves

There are other grave subjects Of momentous
interest to the welfare Of the South, which
might be expected to force themselves upon the
deliberations Of such an assembly. But these
need not be now traced out, some Of them being
SO obviously understood as not to require
naming-
There is one topic, however, which, from its
growing magnitude on our Pacific shore and
its connection with our existing laws Of natu-
ralization, may here elicit a brief notice. tits
the question about to be thrust upon the Anne
rican people, Of how the hordes of Chinese
emigrants coming among us shall be received
and disposed of in social and governmental
aspect However true it is that the funda-
mental law does not discriminate upon the SUBJ
ject Of religion in the American Union, yet it
is not less true that, in practice, the people
have ever, from the first colonization down to
the present day, alphabetically proclaimed their
adhesion to the Christian religion and the in.
telligence with which entire freedom and indie
pendenoe in religious matters have been incul-
Gated and sustained is only equaled by the I'M
swerring frmness with which every decent sect
has been always tolerated. But if the trainers
of the Federal Constitution had foreseen as
possible that any one of the populous Pagan
nations would pour upon our shores an exodus
| Of its ever teeming surplus, It may be safely
questioned if they would have omitted some
provision to meet such contingency. In refer
ence to the vicious and demoralizing character
of much of the emigration derived from Europe,
fdiscussions most frequent and earnest have al
ready been prompted every where in this coun-
try, as to whether the enormous expense of
| providing subsistence and legal punishment in
our penitentiaries and houses Of correction, for
multitudes of those emigrants, did not call
loudly for the interposition of restrictional
| measures against the overwhelming tendencies
| of such an humiliation. These discussions have
Ialso embraced the whole body of existing natu-
fralization laws; and no American statesman
has yet exhibited the boldness requisite to ena-
| Die him to meet the issue that is comprised in
| those discussions.
There is another topic Of transcendent inte-
rest to the whole American people, which has

Iprebend the aphorism that 60 eternal vigilance
l is the price Of liberty" Few in this city will
need to be told that reference is now made to q
question lately raised in Louisiana almost for
the first time either in England or America
during nearly century past-whether there
is really power vested in the federal (or any
otherl judiciary, by any existing law. to hold in
upon alleged suspicion, without proof to conyic-
| ton Of criminality that they intend to violate
some law If such power remains vested
in any branch of the judicial function in this
country, it should be swept away by the intel
Hgence of this age, as one of the silliest and
most contemplate relics of feudalistic yillein-
fage. What is it but a return to the vilest des-
potism Of 4Lettres de Cachet' and ssthe Bas-
tile" of France, anterior to 1882 And if such
a monstrous pretension, based as it is upon
usurpation more fragrant, be not disclaimed and
repudiated by the federal bench of judges, as
slnsustained BY any law, the time will then
have arrived when the sovereign power of the
people should be invoked to provide an imme-
diate legislative remedy.
