priation of the City Council for the pur-

tions Of justice drawn from the State Con-
stitutions; but like all the essays of un-
lawful power to commend its designs to
popular favor, it is marked by the most
absurd and incoherent provisions.
1t proposes to make it q part of the Con-
stitution of the United States that natu-
ralized citizens of the United States shall
be citizens of the United States; as if that
were not SO without such absurd declara-
ton. s
It lodges with the legislative branch Of
the Government the power of pardon
which properly belongs, by our system, to
the executive.
It denounces and inhicts punishment for
past offences by constitutional provision,
and thus would make the whole people OF
this great nation, in their most solemn and
sovereign act, guilty of violating q cardinal
principle of American liberty, that NO
punishment can be inflicted for any offence
unless it is provided by law before the
commission of the offence.
1t usurps the power of, punishment,
