or so unfortunate as to be born with tawny
skins
This provision, sir, which denies fair trial in
the courts of Justice, excludes the same class of
our felow-citizens, native-b born forever from the
territory of that State. This is not only viola
ton of that provision Of the Constitution of the
United States TO which I before referred, which
secures to the citizens of each State the privi-l
leges and mmunities of citizens in every State of
the Union, but it is, / maintain, fragrant viola
ton of the law of nature as recognised by every
civilized nation the globe. 1t is, sir, the pub
lie law of the civilized world that every free
is entitled to live in the land of his birth. Ore
gon, by becoming incorporated into the Union,
becomes part of the country of every American
citizen, and therefore no citizen of the United
States can rightfully be excluded from it. If one
State may rightfully do this, every State may; if
it be right for State thus to violate this law
of domicile acknowledged by all the world, it
would be right for every State in the Union to
exclude every native-born cOlored man in Amer
ica What, in the name of God, would you do
with these men, these eight hundred thousand
free, native-born men, of our common country
In the name of eternal justice, deny this pre-
tended State right to exile any of its native born
freemen, or deny them fair hearing in mainte
nance of their rights in the courts of justice.
No, sir; it was not to legalize this horrid in
justice that America was allowed to assume her
proud place amongst the nations. 1t was not to
this end that the immortal Genoese, guided alone
by Providence and that tiny magnet which
wrinkles on it's card like beam of light, gave to
the oppressed nations of the Old World this new
heaven and new earth. 1t was not TO this end
that the Pilgrims came with their hymns of lofty
cheer: u.
And the stars heard, and the sea
And the sounding asles of the dim woods rang
To the anthem OF the free ~
II was not to this end that the fathers of the Re-
public put forth their great Declaration, and in
defence of it walked through the fire and storm
and darkness of seven years war. 1t was not
to this end that God gave them the victory, and
set for them his bow in the cloud, like bright
ness out of heaven, giving token that the wild
deluge of oppression and blood should not again
sweep over their habitations. 1t was not to this
end that, after the victory was thus achieved,
those brave old men, with the dust of Yorktown
yet fresh upon their brows, and the blood of
Yorktown yet fresh upon their garments, pro-
claimed to the world and asked it to be held in
everlasting remembrance, that the rights for
which America had contended were the rights
Of human nature"

undertake to say, that the terms people of
the United States" and "people of the several
States" as used in the Constitution of the United
States have invariably received this judicial con-
struction in all our courts, State and National
and on this point challenge contradiction.
In the same case, the same court says further:
a." is true every person. and every description
Of persons who at the time OF the adoption of the
Constitution recognised citizens in the several States be-
also citizens OF this new political body but none
other formed by them, and for them and their
teriiy but for else And the personal rights and
privileges guaranteed to citizens OF this sovereignty
intended TO embrace those only who then
bers of the several State communities who should after

communities into political family, whose power, for GER
tain specified purposes, TO extend the whole terri
tory of the United States And to each citizen rights
and privileges outside of his State which he did not before
possess and placed him every other State upon perfect
equality with IFS own citizens as to rights Of person and
rights Of proper;y-t made him citizen of the United
States
The importance that attaches to this question
of who are citizens of the United States, may be
inferred from the fact that the fathers of the Re-
public provided that death should be the punish
ment of that crime which only citizens can COM
nit. The first section of the crimes act for the
punishment of treason Is the only statute of the
United States on that subject and Is as follows
That any person or persons, owing allegiance to the
United States of America, shall levy against them,
shall adhere their enemies giving aid and comfort
within the United States elsewhere shall be thereof
convicted such person persons shall be ad-
Judged guilty Of treason against the United states and SHAH
suffer death."-1 United States Lars, page H..
The Congress of the United States should not
consent that the sovereignty of the ballot, which
is the sovereignty of America, should be trans
ferred by its act to those who may use it to aid
treason, and who may themselves levy war upon
us, and give aid and comfort to the enemy, with
out any legal responsibility for their adts.

hold this section, for their exclusion from that
