When the first infamous and God

currence OF such a state Of things
not having been foreseen in former
times, no adequate Legislation had
been had to meet it. At the same
tin,e-the life Of the country being
at Stake-it appeared necessary that
some means should be taken to con-
troll the small band Of traitors in the
loyal States, SO as to prevent them
from Vaccinations which might he

cause. Under these circumstances,
the general government reSorted to
the system Of military arrests of dan
gerous persons, and, having thus
commenced acting under it, have
continued Cat long intervals IN this
state) to pursue it. The government
of the Z. S. acts directly on indlvld-
uals, and the state executive has 10
authority or means to Interfere with
arrests Of citizens of the United States
made under the authority otthat gov

States, and owes allegiance to them
as we'll as (subject to the provisions
Of the Constitution OF the United

If he be unlawfully deprived of his
liberty, his only redress is to be had

than ever necessary to preserve regn-

On Friday, NJ Baltimore, Chief Justice TANEY 6led en-
opinion in the flee Of the United States Circuit Court In
the case OF q W. Carpenter claimant, the United
Sates-an appeal from The decree Of The District Court
condemnDg aud orfeng box Of dry goods seized by
tho Surveyor Il Baltimore for alleged laI representa-
ons by which permit for the Transporting of said goods
to NaRjemoy, Charles county obtained from the GUS
tom-house.
The opinion enters fully into the facts Of the case and
passes to the question Of the Legality Of the regulations
issued by the Secretary of the Treasury August 1862
based the acts Of Congress Of July 49, 1861 and May
co. 1862, which provide that goods, &c. shall be
transported to any place the north side Of the Potomac
river south Of the Washington and Annapolis railroad
to any place the eastern shore Of the Chesapeake
without permit Of duly authorized officer of the Trea
sury Department and that any false statement is made
y which such goods shipped then the goods to be
fortified
Justice fancy says that the regulations Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury illegal and void They have, he says
no analogy to the rules and regulations which the Execu
tive department may prescribe for the Of its
officers 10 carrying into execution law Of Congress They
in their and scope legislative acis changing the
law it stood BEFORE according to the Judgment and
discretion OF the Legislature but according to the dscre
ton and Judgment of the Secretary If they constu
tonay DO made it must be done by legislative power and
not by officer of the Executive branch Of the Govern
ment, whose duty it is to execute the law-not to
make it.
But if these regulations had been made directly by
Congress they could be sustained by court Of Justice
whole duty it is to administer the law according to the
Constitution Of the United States For from the COM
Of the Government to this day it has been
mitted all hands and repeatedly decided by the Gu
Court that the United States have right inter
fere with the internal and domestic trade Of State They
have right to compel to pass through tLer custom
houses to tax it, This plainly set forth the Con-
stuon that it has been supposed to open to
rovey question Undoubtedly the United States autho
rites may take proper to prevent trade inter-
with the enemy, but il does not by any fol-
low that they may disregard the limits Of their pow
prescribed by the Constitution, the rights and
powers reserved to the States and the People.
The Chief Justice reverses the decree Of the court be-
low, and the District Attorney appeals the
