1 pre- sume he voteiMfor that law, as there is no evidence to the contrary. Slaves are therein declared to be property, ordered to be treated as such, taxed as such, and the tax declared to be a lien on the slave until paid. The marshal was authorized to sell and convey the slave under a sale for taxes. Slaves are now and ever have been sold by the marshal under executions at the instance of the United States, and no one has questioned the title thus acquired by the purchaser. Whence, then, can... ti' power arise, by which Congress may forbid the settlement of any of the citizens of the United States on our common inheritance with that which is recognized as property?
With what show of justice can discriminations be made in favor of one species of property and against another? or how can a right which looks for its origin to the exercise of State sovereignty, unimpaired by surrender to the General Govern- ment, be brought under the control of Congress? Sir, it is a most serious, a most responsible under- taking, to determine that any portion of our fel- low-citizens are to be excluded from the inherit- ance of their fathers You ask much, indeed, from as, when you require us to consent to see our chil- dren disinherited — to register our approbation of the decree which illegitimates them as American citizens.
