Unless it is, also, a garrison. General Jackson, by his overwhelming decree, annihilated the sovereign- ty of Louisiana: he extinguished the legislative and judicial functions of the government, and of course nothing: was left. This was his intention, as deelar ed in his reply to an address of the citizens. He says, martial law. "while it existed, necessarily sus- pended all rights and privileges inconsistent with its provision:" and l. E afterwards speaks of having "re- stored the civil poiver... to its usual functions;" thus ad- mitting that they had been for a time destroyed. What then was the situation of the people? Why that of slaves; as completely so as arbitrary will and despotic powe* could make them. They were lia ble to be {'apprehended, " condemned by a military court, and shot, without judge or jury — without re- medy or appeal; and this too, not merely for offences defined in the articles of war. New crimes are cre- ated and undefined penalties denounced. He cstab lishes a "curfew, " and by an unaccountable perver- sion, declares that all persons found from home after f» o'clock shall be seized as "spies, "' and of course dealt with under Hie ''second section, " which ex- Rceasly relates only to those who are 'hot citizens.
