THE SLAVERY QUESTION BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT OF THE UNITED sTATEs.-CoSrfN ALTON
OF The ARGUMENT.
supaHMH Couar TUESDAY Dec. ls, Is5s-Seoa Sad
ford-The argument OF this continued by Mr..
Geyer for the defendant
Mr. Geysr noticed and corrected attempt OF some por
ton Of the press make the impression that this
genuine Law suit but signsd issue gotten up test
opinion Of the the questions presented After
noticing briefly preliminary matter connected with the
pleadngs in the cause be proceeded TO maintain that
negro whether slave free could not be citizen OF the
United States and therefore could not be plaintiff in the
federal he Inferred om the TACT that when the
constitution formed all the States except held the
negroes slaves and the importation OF slaves for
twenty years allowed it could not have been the nten
ton of the constitution recognise any other than white
persons citizens He said that there many author
tes deciding that free negro not citizen but there
deciding that he was.
Mr. Geyer proceeded discuss the question whether the
temporary residence of the plaintiff in Illinois entitled him
to his freedom. The effect Of the prohbitoy clauses in the
constitution of illinois, and of the act OF Congress OF 1890
the Missouri compromise Is To change the condition
the slave brought into the territory embraced BY il
dvest the right Of the The consequences the
same in Of like introduction into any State
country where 1t does not by law exist The slave 10 held
to be free while be remains within such State country
only because his has not the authority OF law
strain nnl OF Ms ADerty put unless the owner mas doue
which in law amounts 10 emancipation with
bis consent his authority is restored if the slave returns to-
or is found within State country where slavery exists
by law Mr. Geyer relied series Of adjudcations in
support Of this position.
Mr. Gsyer argued easoatey and ably that residence
of slave at Fort Smelling withn the Louisiana Terrific
ry and north of 3s deg 80 mn could change his cond
ton dvest the title Of his owner because slavery exist
ed there before the passage Of the Missouri restriction act
and Congress had constitutional power 70 pass that
act He did not deny the power of Congress institute
municipal for the Territory within the United
States but the power is raised only by implication and
from whatever derived does carry with it
preme universal and unlimited power the persons
and property Of the inhabitants abolish slavery
interfere with the local law Of property in any form He
examined length the whence the power eas
late the inhabitants of Territory is claimed be de-
rived and showed that there express grant of such
power and hence that, wherever its might be- it
could only be derived by implication. He controversial
with great the claim Of sovereignty the Terri
claimed for Congress- saying that the only power
Congress has is to institute temporary governments be-
temporary be necessary to the final
| admission of the inhabitants States
