Mr. Chief Justice TANEY.
I concur in opinion with my brother Nelson. The questions involved in this application are very grave ones; and I should have felt it to be my duty to state the grounds on which my opinion has been formed, had not the whole subject been so fully and, to my mind, satisfactorily discussed by him. But, concurring, as I do, in all that he has said, I shall forbear any! discussion on my part, and content myself with expressing my entire assent to the opinion he has just delivered.
Mr. Justice DANIEL.
The question just disposed of by the court, involving the lives and liberties, not only of those who from abroad may seek protection under our laws, but the ‘lives .and liberties of our own ■citizens, is undoubtedly one of the most important which can claim the vigilance of our government' in every department. Having deliberately compared my own views of this vital question with what has been so well expressed by my brother Nelson, and éoncurring, as. I do, in all that he has said upon it, I deem it unnecessary to do more than thus solemnly to attest my adherence to the great principles of law, justice, and liberty vindicated by him.
