We give below the closing paragraph Of
NJ. 4, l>ls BlseHAM's u. Ms manly renonstraee:
z"sIhis sprevision, sir,1 which. denies ,,
fair trial; i'm the courts Of justice, excludes
the same class Of our ,fellow-citizens, ma
tive born, forever from the territory of
that State. This is not only: a. violation
of. that provision Of the Constitution Of
the United States to which + have before
referred, which. secures to The citizen of
each State the privileges and immunities
of citizens: in every State Of the Union !;
but it is, I maintain, a Hagrant violation
Of the law Of nature, as recognized ~
every 'civilized nation on the glebe. It IS,
sir7 the public law of the civilized world
that every .free, man is entitled : to lve in
the land Of his birth. Oregon, by ;becom-
ing incorporated into the Union, becomes
part Of the country Of every! American
citizen, and therefore mo: citizen Of the
United States can rightfully be excluded
from, it, u IF one State may rightfully do
this, every State may; if it be right. for
one State thus to vviDiate this law 81 do1lnii-
cile, : acknowledged by all the world; it
! it would be right for every State in the
Union to exclude every native-born color
ed man in America. What, in the name
of God, would. You odogwiA these men,
these eight hunared- thousand free native
born men, of sour. common country :! :, In
! the. name Of eternal justice, ! deny, this
State right to exile any Of its native-born
ffeenien;, Or deny them a fair hearing in
1 maintenance of their rights in the courts

horrid injustice that America was allowed
