We have never seen the affirmative Of IL
This question so clearly stated as In 1nc y

that may require military assistance, pre-

It is 10 answer to a1iedgc there cSlsts no

t,r dcuy that such necessity has yet arisen;
hut the point hc makes so successfully ls'
that Congress coa co.lstitnionally author
izc 1lc enrolling and organizing of colored
pcrsons, bond or free, as part Of the militia
Of The nation. He conclusively shows'ha1
The same power that eau oblige the father

complexion or his descent; no matte
whether he is Of pure African blood, or hal
Anelo-Amc1ican; OF whether his master
