FORE can be lawfully required to take any OATH but
the oath of allegiance to the State anterior to his
oelng mustered into the service of the Confederate
States This, let US remember, is a government
with Legislative, Executive and Judicial functiona-
RES, IN full operation, and prescribe and admin
lister such oaths, to it may seem meet to soldiers
and if it wshes'to try so hazardous an Experiment
to citizens Also Our interference then, to bind the
consciences of our citizens to that government after
having granted it power of life and death over their
conduct is quite work Of supererogation if not of
servility. In its Constitution Art s. Sec A. it has
plainly enumerated the persons in the State and
Confederacy, whom it requires to take the oath to
support IT. II it desires to enlarge the catalogue
by polling every citizen, to search his heart, and
see lift cannot find somebody to punish as traitor
let it try the virtue of act of Congress- and the
machinery Of its own officers. That would give the
regulation generality and relieve it of one of its
features of hateuness that of being leveed at the
people of particular State, and this by the off,
Gals Of the State authority in matter commit
ted by the people to other hands. For, suppose,
no one imagines that there any danger of rebel
lion against the State government as such. The
whole solicitude which prompts this most extraor-
binary measure springs from an apprehension of in
fidelity on the part Of the people, or portion of
them, to the Confederate government-and it i'm
plies that that government is too weak in its func-
tionares or too mid to provide and apply the need
full remedies We, therefore, must rush in to the
help of the nation. If Congress were consult

good and patriotic Intention but if they spoke can

But in the worst and most intoerant time neither
in England nor in any civilized nation of which
have recollection, was there ever such an expert
ment made as is proposed to lie made here, of pre-
scribing test, religious POLITICAL and running
muck with it against the whole people, to see if
perchance some victim may not be found for ban
ishment or degradation.
In this country We have known but little of test
oaths, except as We have read of them under more
arbitrary governments. The Legislature Of Vir-
gna, more than fifty years ago. in laudable desire
to suppress the practice of duelling, directed an
oath to be taken by certain public functionaries,
and among others the advocates in her courts Of
justice, that they would not engage in any duel.
Mr. Benjamin Watkins Leigh since known to the
country as one of her most distinguished LAWYERS
and statesmen, was then at the bar, and the court
having decided that the oath must be taken Mr.
Leigh requested time to consider the question of the
power OF the Legislature to impose such an oath.
ana at subsequent day he submitted an argument
which satisfied the court that the power did not
exist. and they unhesitatingly reversed the former
decision, which Chief Justice Roane pronounced to
be an "of hand and erroneous" one: an example
