May they not think, that they call for the abolition of slavery ? May they not pronounce all slaves free ? — and will they not be warranted by that power ? There is no ambigu- ous implication or logical deduction. The Paper speaks to the point. They have the power in clear and unequivocal terms ; and will clearly and certainly exercise it. " 2d. Congress has power to impose a capitation tax. To whom must the Government look, in such case, for payment ! To none other, certain- ly, than the subje...ct of the poll tax. The Goveiment is under no obliga- tion to pay attention to the superlatively nonsensical and wicked claim of the ownership of men. If it be, then States would have the power to 20 -defeat the collection of a tax imposed upon its subjects — for it might as- sert, that some half dozen paupers within its bounds shall be called the owners of all its other subjects. We see, then, how utterly incompatible is slavery with this clause. It is so, 1st, because the slave is not liable to pay any thing — and 2nd, because slavery could defeat the collection of the tax.
