ConGiscaaion of Rebel Property
IT'S POLICY AND ooNsrlTUTIoyAL1rY
i'essaGes from the speech of Hon. John
W. Noell, of MISSOURI, III tRe H0use of
Representatives.

ANSWERING the objection that the Consti-
tuition fUrblds attainder or corruption OF
blood in consequence of treason, Mr.. NOEL
defined no distaction between
ATTAINDER AND coNFIsCAroE.
When our fathers undertook to make the
Constitution, they did 50 in view of tina. in
cide,'s OF attainder lf treason, as it existed
in EngIond I'D it was only To cut OF that
incident that the clause w. inserted N the
Constitution of the United States. /, .,'' 'N
no reference whatever TO a cOnfiscation bill.
Forfeiture implies breach of some agree
ment. AS the king originally owned the
land given to his subjects On certain con-
ditions, those conditions being violated, the
land, as ii matter of course, and according
to the course of the common law, resulted
back TO the crown.
COntiscationis altogether different thing.
C0VscdtiOR implies no pre-eciStiHg eORdi-
ttOH. IL has an exercise Of SOrereiqn pOtcer
used for p~aishiRg the citizen for crimes
against lis authority, pulishiHg him in the
thing seized and coniscated, and not in per-
son. 1t is the appropriation of property,
the title to which was held on no condition
whatever, but as the absolute property OF
the person who controlled and used it.
Conhscation is a punishment for crimes
against the authority OF the nation. The
government, in the exercise of its sovereign
authority, has undertaken 10 ecnhscate and
appropriate that property to its own use,
That is what | understand confiscation to
be, as contradistinguished from Gorfeitures
forbidden by the clause of the constitution
TO which have referred.
We give the concluding arguments OF
this striking speech:
PROCESSES OF LAW.
Now Mr.. Speaker, the point am laboring
TO establish is, that il does not follow, be
cause no citizen can be deprived of his life
liberty, or property, except by due process
of law, that that due process of law mus
always be the same. read this for the
purpose of establishing the proposition
have laid down III maintaining in this par
of my argument that the due process of Law
| by which a man can be deprived of hi
property, is not necessarily the same kline
of process by which he may be deprived o
his life or liberty that what is meant b.,
due process of law in the Constitution
is such process as is requisite aud appro
pirate to accomplish the desired end, alway
provided, however, that the law-malenI
] power must keep within its Constitutions
