once all the privileges and mmunities enioved b,
citizens in Louisiana, while, of course, he canno
enjoy all the "rights.' until he complies with the
the right to vote the righto Of ownership, the rgh
of possession &c 1t should be poniered here, that
the States expressly reserved the disposal govern
ment, Or regulation of all rights which not in
cluded in the grants of power to the General Gov
! ernment.
| Now if my friend will interpolate the word
"rights" and then thoughtfully compare tb. clause
with the present wording of it and this in view OF
the above remarks. and the definitions of good
Law Dictionary, | confident that he will plainly
see the distinction have attempted to show, and
that this clause has nothing do with the question
at issue.
Cd. NY friend seems to find fault with my use of
word subjects and says: 1.-The despotisms of
Europe make subjects Of aliens-the Republic of
the United States makes them citizens" No one
pretends that our citizens are serfs or slaves but
We all know that they are subjects of the govern
ing power; and that this power belongs to the
original people and such as they entranchise |
meant this and nothing more.
3. Nv friend speaks of the understanding of the
Federal Convention, and of the Legislatures and
Courts in the earlier days Of the Republic, be-
ing in opposition to my views. I challenge the
production Of single legislative act, or judicial de-
cision opposed to them, and expect to grow gray
before it is produced.
In conclusion, desire to claim for myself, what
I fully accord to my friend, earnest desire to as
certain the truth IF were ambitious of any dis
tinction, would infinitely rather be regarded by
my countrymen, the answering advocate Of
truth and sound constitutional construction than
have the undened reputation Of being the ablest
advocate Of the best party principles that ever ex
listed. Yours, respectfully, B. ]. SAGE.
