CHAPTER XIV.

POWER OF THE GENERAL G0ygRNNENY OVER
SLAVERY.
II s assertion that the general government
has power slavery In the States. by this be
meant that the States may reduce slavery the citizens
Of the United States within their limits and the general
governmentcanno hberate them the doctrine is null6
caon and TO the destruction Of the United States Co.
vernment within the limits Of each State whenever such
State shall choose to destroyh
THE PITH OF MULTIPLICATION.
Tho pth Of the doctrine of notification Ia this VIZ
That State has right TO inerpose between her people
and the United States government deprive them Of its
benefits protection and laws and annul their asgsncs
tOh vs
State have this power, she Of course abolish tho
government Of the United States PLEASURE far - M
operation within her territory s concerned for the
government OF the United States nothing, any further
thaa operates upon the persons property and rights
OF tho peoples the States can arbitrarily intercept this
operation, nterpose between the people and tho 90
vernment and laws Of the United States they Of course
can abolish that government And the United States
stuon and the laws made in pursuance thereof instead
Of being he supreme law Of the land "anyhng in the
constitution or laws Of any State the contrary noswh
standing, are dependent entirely upon the will Of the
state governments for permission TO bs laws At all
NvALrDrTY OF STATE LAWS.
Ssste law reducing man TO slavery would X valid,
nserpose be tween him and the constitution and laws Of
the United States, annu their operaHon-so far he s
concerned-and deprive him Of their benefits Il would
annuI his allegiance TO The United States for slave
owe no allegiance 70 government that either win not or
cannot protect him.
ia STATE can do this in the case OF one man she can
DO In the case Of any number OF men, and thus
petely abosh The general government within her limits
But perhaps win be said that State has no right 10
reduce 70 slavery the people generally within her limits
but only to hold slavery those who were slaves the
adoption OF the constitution, and their postsriy.
