rr TEE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA FRIDAY, AFIUL G, 18C6. CIVIL EIGHTS BILL. Rejoinder of Hon. Rcvcrdy John son to the Speech of lion. Lyman Trumbull. DEFENSE OFIHE PRESIDENT'S VETO. Mr. Johnson ssld that In the discussion of tho hilt before the Menate, thougo the nncatlon u not strictly Irpal one, there were queailona ot po Icy to lie considered- questions ol expediency. The objection which the President makes to the bill, hi returning it wit bo it hi approval relates aa well to the expe diency of tho measure m to It allotted unconstitu tionality. The purposes of oiothlns the President with the veto power were to guard his own department Italnat encroachment by any other t to guard the Htotot ayalnat like wlluencc, and to guard the Individual clil Sena also In addition to these oblects, one of the purposes of the convention was to guild against Inexpedient and Ill-considered legislation, looking to what had taken place In the ongresa 01 the Conlcueracy, and to what iiad occuired In the several State Governments. Hie members of the Convention ot 17HJ were satisfied that It was just as necessary lor the punllo weal to protect the country attalnst Inexpedient legislation, or almost . a, necessary .as it It to protect It against imcousUtu "Coha .le"',,""n It has Ti( in heretofore denied by tome, and doubted by others, whether the l'resttlent la justified, in using the power except upon constitutional grounds. That princi ple was ured by the leading members ol the WhI? party at the head of which a ood Mr. Clay, wnan they became very much dissatisfied with the exercise ol that power by the then President of tho United Mates, Cent ral Jacston. 'ibe fact wm callti to tie attention of Mr. Ma lison, and lie expressed his opinion oil it Id a letter written with the ability which alwaya marked his writing s, (luted on the 1 ft Hi of October, In 14. Mr Joliu-oa bore quoted irom the letter refer rod to and continued : 'Ihe honorable'tremheT from Illinois (Mr. Trnmbull) aeeme to suppose that he finds as vand objections to the exercise 01 tbls power by the President in tnls Instance, in the tact that the bill passed received tbn votes o more than two-thirds ot the member ol each House, and he cited In support of that doctrine a speech de livered by the l'rcuhlent when he was a member ol this body, In 1HM and lnU. 1 he Senator, perhaps, was in duced by what he read from that speech to bniteve that the President stated tbe principle to be that a bill passed by a two-t. Irds' vote could not constitutions ly bosuhjected to the veto power. It he had rood the lat ter part of the same senteuoe he would have louud that the Piealdont intended no am b thing. Tbe foundress of the doctrine expressed In that nprech cannot be unebtloned. Mr. Johnson, when ho was a member ot this body, merely said that the tact that a bill was passed by the majority rendered neces sary lor the purpose ol overruling a veto, was a reason why he should very cautiously apply the power tor Jta exercise, but so lar from its being necessary, in the Judgment ol the Senate, as It certainly was not in the mind ot Mr. Johnson at the time, mat a bill being passed by that majority placed It beyond tho veto power. Tbe honorable member's (Mr. Trumbull's) answer to a question which 1 put to him shows that, in the judgment 01 the Senate, the veto power was properly excrement and a bill which, in that Instance, had been passed by xuore than twc-thinls 01 bo h Houses did not nut become s law, as many who hud voted lor the bill changed their votes under the ititluciice of the President's veto message. .Now. Mr l'resideut. In order to hnd out xactiy whether it was proper ibr the l'resideut to dis approve of this bill, It becomes necessary to ascertain "v. l b precision whut the bill is. I he honorable member Ironi Illinois (Mr. Triiinbtiin insists upon It that ihere is no section in It which Is not dearly constitutional. Ho maintains the constitutionality 01 the first section upon the ground, first, that It Is merely declaratory ol what a law Is; utid. second, that 11 It was not declaratory, It was a law which Congress had a rlnht to make, because. In his judgment. It Is in the power 01 Congress by law to dec are who shall bo a citizen ol the L'nl.ed Slates. 'Ihe hononmle member reiened to a case reported In 6th Peters, the decision ol' Chief Justice Marshall, for the pur pore of showing that a titizen 01 tbe United (states who has been naturalized, and who resided Iq any t-tate of the United Mutes, cos a right to go Into the courts of the United States. The honorable mem ber clearly, as I think, misapprehends the decision to which he relers. The question helore the . ourt was -whether It appeared up, 01 the face ot the pleading that the party foing Into the court below had a right to go Into that court. Under the Constitution ot the United Hates, and the act of17H, which was passed to carry out its provisions, the Jurisdiction of a courc of the United states, wheie It was made to depend upon the character ot a party, was given only In cases where the party plairrtill and the party defendant wetV citizens ol dillerent Btatea, and tbe question beiote the court was, -whether It appeared on the lace of the declaration. In the part cu ar case, that the partv plaintnf was a citizen et a State, and. aa such, entitled to go Into the courts ol' the United State'. The langunge of the declaration that bo was a naturalized citizen of the United States, lesldlng iu the Htnto 01 Louisiana and the Court came to the conclu sion that that averment was equivalent to an aver ment that 1 e was a citL.en 01 Louisiana In the absence ol anv thing to the contrary, but that Is not the ques tion which the bill present. He became a citizen under the naturalization laws 01 the United States, and the authority ot Congress to puss such laws could not be doubted. The cUoctof the exercise of that power was to remove the disability arising from lorelgn birth and to give him the capacity of becoming a citizen of one of the States. When tho declaration therefore, averred that tho original disability, alienage , was re moved in that Instance by the party having become a ' citizen under the naturalization luws, the only other ' jucbUou upon which the erne beiore the Court tnrned, w as whether ho was a chiton of a different State irom the State iu which the other partv resided, and the Court decided that the averment of a residence In a htate ot one who was averred to be a citizen of the Uul.ed Mates was equivalent to an averment that he 'was a citizen 01 astute. I suppose nobody could well bave doubted it, or will now aoubt the correctness of tliat decision. This bill, in Its first section, makea all who were born In the United States at any time and who arfk now living, citizens 01 the United States, and assuomoitl xens, also of the States lu which thev may respectively reside, and comers on them all the rights belonging to those who h ave heretofore been considered citizens of tbe l.nited States and of the States in which they may reside. Kow, Mr. f resident, you are not to be to. d that tbe only express authority conferred upon the Con gress of the United Mates in relation to citizenship that is to say, in relation to the power 01 converting one who is not a citizen into citizen Is the authority to be toand in the delegation to Congress of the power to pass unllorm laws upon the subject of naturalization Ihere Is not a single word In the Constitution wulcn gives to this department ot the Oovernmeut, er to any other department, the power to dec are who stial bia citizen, and what is the effect of the exercise of that power? Whut was the design of the power, ami what lathe operation of the power, when it is executed? The design of the power is to remove disabilities arising irom tbe fact of alienage and nothing else. The operations of the power Is to place the party whose disability at Isea from alienage, and is removed by vir tue of the naturalization laa, in tne same condition ' -with anybody else; but whetner he is to be considered aa a citizen 01 the United states by virtae 01 theie moval of the disabilities consequent upon hig taking advantage 01 the naturalization laws, presents an en tirely Uhlerent luqniry and, perhaps, 1 cannot make the Tiew which 1 shall otherwise present In my own lan guage more clearly to the country than by reading an ' opinion in the Died t-cott case; not that opinion pro ounced by the majority, which has been so olten. and su 1 think so shame. ess y perverted, to the disparage ment not only or ihe majority ot the Conrtwho sanc tioned that opinion, but o the very admirable lawyer by whom the pinion was pronounced : but the opinion n Mr Justice Curtis in which he differs troin that of the majority an opinion marked by learning to as great aa extent as any opinion ever pruuouueed by any judge t that or arty other tribunal. The question which in that part of the opinion be waa discussing was whether Dred Scott was a citizen, enti tled to aae in the courts 01 the U lilted Mutes ? a ma jority of tbe Court deckled that, in consequence 01 ihe blood which was supposed to run In his veins, by the plea that iu the African blood iescendud irom his Afri can ancestors he came to the United states a slave, he could not becon e a citizen of the United States, ilr. Justice Curtis held that the Constitution 01 tbe United ' 1 Mates assumed that Citizenship may be acquired by nativity. 'J hut Was tho common law that Is, the law ot 1 the civilized world that he who Is horn In acountty, and not made a a ave at the moment he ia born by auv municipal regulations, becomes by virtue ot nls birth a citizen 1 but lie by no means hold that the consequence of his beings citizen 01 the United States by virtue of his birth made hiin a citizen of any State ot the United - - estate. Let me read a sentence or two from his opinion. It 'win be lound in the llithof llowurd. lhat paitof the opinion to which I reter Is on page 6U7.and others. Alter having stated, and no doabt stated correctly, , . . that, at the time of the adoption ot the Constitution of she United States thete were five Ma es in which per l sons of color were entitled to the right 01 suffrage, and In which, iheieiore, they participated in the delibera tions of the States by which the Convention was . , authorized, and aiterwaids lu the Conventions of the , .. neverai states by which that Constitution ibtelf was sanctioned, he came to this conclusion. He savst "My opinion Is that under the Constitution of the United States every person born on the soil or a State who is a oiihsen of that State t lorce of Constitution or laws, ia a so a citizen of the United States." Now .; . auark the qualification, "It Is not the nativltv that lin parts the character of citizen or alien. There must be added to the tact of nativity tbe other fact that at tbe time of bia birth be Is by the ('onstliutlcu or laws or tbe State a citizen ot that Stale, aud the two things swded. birth sod citizenship by me lawa of the State, he becomes by virtue ot the twos citizen 01 tne United States." lr there could be any doubt that I correct, y Interpret that part of the opinion it would, be speedily removed by subsequent portions of the opinion, to which 1 will ca 1 the attention of the senate, lie says the first section of the second article or the Constitution uaea the language:" A natural born citizen." it thus assumes ' that citizenship uiay be acquired bv birth. He then goes M to tate ''Ths Constitution having recognized the -' rule thai persons born within the several Statea are citizens of the United States " ana or four things must fee true. Sow what are they? . , . . ' ' I 1 win read tint, lhat the Constitution itself has da- y J j err! bed w hat Larsons shall PI shall t ot be ciilsfcns of the . United Stateai second that ll has empowered (lougress j-"1 to do set third, that ell persons born within the several Ulates are alilzens of tha United States t fourtn.tbat.lt la referred to each State to determine what tree persons, born within lu limits, shall be citizens of such State, aud tiwebj citizens el ths United Stales. I shall not read everything he saya In relat'on tolthrea of the alter natives, hot only a portion of it te save if there b such a thing as citizenship ot the United states acquired by him wi'hln the State which the Constitution x prvssii recognizes, and no one denies, then these lonr alternatives embrace the entire auhiect, and it only ro n sins to select the one which Is true. 1 bat ihe constitution Itself has defined citizenship of tbe Untied Slates by declaring what persons horn within the several States si all. or snail not bs citizens of tbe I nlttd States will not be prrsen'ed It contains no such declare ion. He may dismiss the first alternative as v Ithotit doubt on'ounded. 1 hat Is to say, the Con stitution has not stated, or to nse the languaire Of his opinion, tbe Constitution has not described, what native born persons Hhail or shall not be citizens. 1 he proposition, to use his own language, may h dl nlsed as proportion wholly uniounded Well. If that Is not true then is the other true? If the Consti tution docs not ot Itselt declare wno are to he citizens of the -tates, and thereby citizens of the United Mates, la there anything In the Constitution which confers upon Congress the power to do the same thing? Let us see what Justice urtia miys about that. "Has it empowered Congress to enact what free born persons, horn within the several Mates, snail or shall not be citizens of the United Mates? It such power exists, then the consti tution has empowereC to ongress to c rate privileged clasres within the Mates which alone shall be entitled to tbe franchises and privileges of citizenship. Tf It be true that the Constitution baa enabled Congress to de clare what fiee persons, born within the several statea, shall he citizens ot the United Statea, it must at Die same tltnn be admitted that It i" an unlimited power If this niblect is within the Jurisdiction of Congress, It must depend whoilvon Its discretion." 'Ihen he proceeds Immediately afterwards, In very clear and lorclble language, to say that the Constitution comers no such power on Congress. Now 1 will reads part 01 what lie says: "Among the powers expressly granted to longnss Is the power to prescribe a uniform rule of naturalization." It is not doubted that there is a power to prescribe a ru'e lor the removal 01 disabili ties consequent upon lorclun birth. It appears, then, that the only power 1 ranted to Congress to legislate con cerning citizenship la confined to the removal or disa bilities of foreign birth. Sow, .'eavlng the Inquiry wheiber there is In the Constitution any express autho rltv conferred upon Congress to legislate nt all In rela tion to ihe statute of cltliensblp, he proceeds to Inquire whether theie exists any implied power to establish it. Hs ssvs whether there be ant thing In the Constitution from which the power ntav be Implied will best be seen when we come to examine the two other alternatives, which are, whether sll tree poisons horu on the soil of the revt rai S ates, or only such ot t hem aa may be citi zens C' '! rt"Pvcilveijr are thereby citizens of the United Statea lie says t'ui lt r tne, lt"ilVO Is, in 11 ty jnoenieni, tne true one ; mat is to Buy. mere is no power expressed or Implied which confers upon Congress any authoiity at all to.declare what free persons are to be considered us Citizens, becaus. of their birth, within the i- tate, exc pt suth as, to use his owu language, that Is true only ol such as may be citizens of each State, and because ther are citizens of each State by virtue of their birth under the Constitution and laws of the State of their birth, they become citizens or the United States, and he say a that that alono contains tho truth. Un doubtedly, as lias been said, It Is a principle of nubile law recognized by the Constitution itself, that birth In the soil 01 a country both creatca the duties aud confers the right of citizenship. That Is ibe doctrine rolled upon by my friend Irom Illinois tHr. 'irutubull). it must be lemenibered that though the constitution w as designed to lorm of tho United States ot America one Ciovernuient. to which loyalty and obedience irom the citizens was to be given in return tor protection and privileges, yet the sovereign Statea. whose people were their citizens, wore not only lo continue In ex istence, but with powers unimpaired except so far as they were granted to the National Oovennneut. and among the powers reserved to the States was that ot determining what persons wf o should, and what per sona who xliould 1101, be cltlztns, having come to the conclusion that the power waa not delegated by the Mutes. 'I he other conclusion is consequent, upon thai, thut it lemalns at it stood lteiore-a power belonging exclusively to the Stains respectively. cw, Mr. President, what is the consequence of that doctrliio, if it be true, and I think I may challenge my friend trom 1 linois to disprove It. ihe authority over citizenship under the Cons ltution of the Utiitod states is not tietcgatcu 10 1 ongress, except in one particular instance, and that not one which Intended to make the party in whose lavor tne power niiiiht be exercised a citizen of the United Mates, merely lor tbe ouruose of removing .thei disabilities which a law of ( ongress can remove, consequent upon his loruign birth and lorelgn alienage, lhat was a quest Ion In which the whole were interested. It was a matter of general moment. It related to a common object, lor which the Constitu tion Itself was adopted, and in which foreign nations were concerned ; because no one State hud the power to legislate upon any subject upon which a lorelpn citizen mlirl t be concerned It was deemed ad visable to invest a power which might otherwise create dillicu.tli s and Inquiry to the whole in a Ciovernmeut to which the lnteies.s and gaiety of the whole ia com mitted. Hut the removal ot dllllcultics under the natu ralization laws uld not create a citizen of anv one Mate, 'that power in tne words 01 Justice Curtis, remained as it Mood before tho Constitution was auoptea. exom- eiveiy neiont'ing 10 tne Mutes themselves, nowwnat does this bill propose to do? it says that every man born til tbe United tatea. whether liorn as a slave or not. Is a citizen of the United States. It la not confined in I s operation to tiose born subsequent to tbe abolition of slavcrv In the united Mates but applies to all, to whoever was born at any time, tuougli in siaverv Is to be considered a citizen by reason 01 the fact of bis being born here, snd thai taut atone. The state may have declared at the time of his birth, if be was born ot a slave mother. 1 lint he was a Stave. Ihe Constitution and laws ol the State which deolared It are disputed. Ibey assert that no descendant of a colored mother, whether she was tree or not. shall be a citizen by virtue of hlsblnh. And vet my friend from Illinois nnu tne congress or tne c uneu Mates in pass ing this bill have declared that those who are boin in a state ot slavery, aud who were never citizens ss long aa that condition existed, who were prevented from oeing citizens py 111c 1 onsuturou 01 tue Mate in wnicii they resided, w liicli has never boeu changed, shall, bv force of this enactment, be considered as citizens of tho united Mates, and tiierclore citizens lor all purposes, how. 11 it be true that whether birth la to give citizen ship ol the United States, depends upon the lant whether tue party porn is, ny tne laws 01 tne state in wnicn lie Is ho 11, a citizen of thut State, I shoud like to know where Is the authority to Interiere over what a Mate has done in tbe pu-st, ia doing lu the present or may do 111 the luture, or how it oan be accomplished under the constitutional amendment, which 1 will notice altera while. Now, tbe lionoroblo member from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) disposes ot tne president's objections to tbe first section ol the bill by saying it is merely declatory. u en, 1 Know 11 is not uucoinmou tor 4 leuisiauve nouy, where dlilereuces of opinion exist in re atb u to any Sioposltion, to remove them by declatory legislation, ui that is not the purpose of tlilB section. It pro esi.es to l e ptissee in the exorcise ot a positive and absolute power to change tho law, not to declare what ihe lew was the power to muke a law.- It assumes or otherw ise there would be no occasion for it that hlrtn alone dors nut confer cliizeiishlp. and assuming .hut uo citizenship couid exist in consequence of birth alone it declares that birth alone, in spite of State Con stitutions and State laws, shall comer citizenship. .Now, w ith all de erence to the opinion of the honora ble Chairman of the Committee of the Judlclasy Mr. 'j ruiubulij, li seems to uie to be a proposition aa clearly erroneous as any propositlou can be lu relation to the Constitution. The Mates were sovetelgu before the Constitution was adopted, and the Constitution not only according to 1 ts very terms, doej not protesa 10 con er upou the C.overr uient of the United States any sueb power, but, as tar as 1 ongress is com erned, pro. lessee only to comer on that department of the Govern ment a particular delegated power; and so conscious were the trainers 01 that Instrument and the great men ot that uay, to wtoiu lis sauaequeut perfection nuslett. that thev all went upon the theory that no powers were couierred. except such as were expiesaiy granted, as might reasonably bo Implied to carry out tne powers expressly granttd so anxious were they that, not ss ta iled with ru ylng upon a principle that only teleguted power belonged to Congress, they, by tne tenth amend ment to the Constitution, declared that the powers not delegated by the Constitution aud not denied to ths States were to be considered as reserved to the States leepectlvely or to the peoole. Standing, therefore, upon the nature of the Govern ntent itseu, as a Government of enumerated powers specially delegated; standing upon the express pro vision that everything not grauteu waa to be considered aa remaining within tue states, unless the Constitution contained some particular prohibition ot auv power, what doubt can there be that it the state preserved tbe power to declare who mignt be their citizens before tha Constitution was adopted, that that power remains now as applicable and as exclusive as it was beiore the Constitution was adopted; and tbe bill, therefore, pro poaea 10 change tbe whole theory of the (lovernment. T he President, therelore, aa I think, ia right in aay lug, and 1 go lurther than he does, be Is right lu expressing a doubt whether Cougiess has the right or power, audi att iin with all deetence to the bettor ludgmeut of the Senators who voted tor thla bill, and tb honorable ( hainuan of the Judiciary omniltte tiiat It Is per fectly Uear that no sua 1 power exists alls attempted to be exercised b y the bist section I bold with Mr. Justice Curtis, and bia opinion has never bteu questioned, that citizenship of tne United Statea consequent upon birth iu a Mate is to depend upon the mot w hether the Constitution and laws of tho State mu&e the party so horn a citizen of the State. ow, what la the next section, or what Is the remain ing provision of the lirst section f Sot satisfied with declaring or assuring that they had tho power to de clare, thut all persona nut subjects of any foreign power born in the United States, and having the right ot such persons to uepend upou the fact of their being citizens, the bill goes onto provide what rights shall belong to them. .Now what Is that for? Is that doela rutory to citizenship nhlch.saya the honorable member (Mr. Tiumbull). carrion with it certain ruthts? What rights? He read Ui the Senate iroiu tbe 1st of Kent, pagetA a passage which, he wll pardon me lor saying, has nothing iu the world to do with the particular ques tion before us. The passage which he read merely state! that every nation was bound to plot, ct I owu citizens. Why. certainly It is. If it has the power. The Uoverutiien t of the United States baa the authority and Is bound to pro tect the richts of any citizens of the United States In vaded by anv other uai ion. Whv? Btuuu ih.si.iu have no Jurisdiction extra ferrltorla' because with re- " lereuce 10 foreign nations lue oiaies nave no place at all. That relation subsists, and can only subsist, as be tween the toielgn nutlt na snd tbe General tloverntnent, and because that re, a Ion can onlv in that way subsist It Is tbe duty of the Culled States, aa It is the duty of eveiy nation, to protect its own oitisena. Hot how Is that made 10 prove hat citizen ot the United States who is entitled to the aame protection of tne Govern ment ol tbe United Stutss U to be considered a clilseo of any one State? whsi are these rights? Tha bill converts him Into a citizen by virtue ef hi birth, w hich I have endeavored to show tbe Senate could not be done unless tbe Con stitution of lb State where be Is born made him a citizen or that State; and It goes on further andaavs that auub eltlzeua. that is, citizens by force of this wogiesaional le(lsla'lon. ol every race and color, Wit taout rniiurd lo nrevlona condition Of Slavarv. ato . shall have the same rights in every HtaM aud terrl Uiry.to make and eu tores contracts, to sue, bs parties and give eSldeuee. 10 inherit, purchase, sal. bold, snd conviy real and pe'nJ property, and to the roil aud .iuu weusut ui au laws eau piwcsuuisa 101 me as ennir el persons snd property ss Is enloy.d by white petsons. how, Mr. President, If thete be anything that might be considered as true, that waa true in the past. In the Constitution and lawa, It was that trmt everr one of these rlshta. or to speak mora correctly, over every one ot the subject to which these Mhts are made to attach, the Jurisdiction of the states were exclusive. . , . The honorable member from Illinois (Mr Trambnlt) stems to lorgft, ssl think, what la the real character ot our Government and our institutions. Thla bill, in my outnlou. strikes at sll the reserved rlgn.s 01 the states Von may leok In the statuto booke, and I am sure the honorable member Irom Illinois wid agree thatauch la the I act. You may look in the statute books ol ths United Statea In vain tor the purpose of finding that any time irom JllrJ up to the breaking out of Ibis Kebelllon. sny body ever proposed In Congress by legla atlon. to regulate, by aectirlng nrothciwise, the ril-hta wbkh are re erred to in thla section. Alter dwelling further on thla eeot Ion. Mr. Johnson paased to the provisions or the bib which define tho punlsi mem for ths en oreement of distinctions on account 01 color, by State Judges and othera. It would abolish all State iawa, be said; and what ia the case In wblcb this clause Juris llctton ia vested In the ( ear 1 a of the United statea. Of all casea, civil or criminal, ado, ting persona who are denied their rights in a State Court, and any such person against whom a enlt may be brought lor any cause whatever, may appeal to tbe United Slates Courts. Any ot those agmta or sub agents, tor fit ere aie hosts ol fb.m pro vided torby the hi 1 who may kl l a freedmsn, who Is endeavoilng lo ptotect what he considers his rights, is not to be tried in a State Court, but In a United Mates Court. Here the bill goes titx n the theory that there Is bnt one Government. Winder, robbery, and many other oflensea which no ono ever dreamed of living In any but a State Court, are to be trauai erred to the United Statea Courts. The honorable member refers to the act of 1790. which has nothing st all to do with this, the punishment pro vided for ky that act related to aulta and oltenses against the foreign ministers who were accredited to trie Gov ernment, and an offense against them wsa an offense against the Government, lhat law was based upon Hie aame principle sa we provide lor the punishment 01 those who utter talse coins, etc. it is Incidental entirely It is a pun of the law of nations, snd not derived from any municipal power whatever My honorable tr end ask? w hose isult Is It that eleven Statea are not represented here? He certainly doea not ask this In an ad caplaif ium style, aa be animadverted noon that as refetring to the President. Unsays their hands are reeking with the blood ot onr lathers . What bave they done ? Ihey have abolished alaverv. Some of them have even eons turther than the honorable member bimse t, and though tome 01. them !;av lougbt on tbe field of battle, they can take that oath asconaclenilously as the honorable member or myself Congressional legislation Is necessary. It Is said. We' 1, they applied here in the month 01 Decem ber and it la now April, and It may bo unill July or De cember. As rumor has It they are dlsloval, I can go into the State ot the honorable member him self, and find bundreda ot men just at dlsloval as any In thote Mates that Is, ttls oyal in the modern accepta tion of the term. A abort time ago It was disloyal to oppose tbe President t now it is ills, oyal to support falm. It is only lo.tal to uphold Congress Tbe Supreme Court haa recognized these States as being In the Union. It has for weeks been trying cases from them. It la apprehended that mischief will result If they are admitted here. Mischief ot what klnd-of a partv character? lhat is the only mischief taatl am aware of that can reiuit W hat is the occasion of this Are?

Mr friend adverts in ruthcr severe terms to the President Tbe 1'rcsMent states that in his opinion the bill la unconsti tutional, and, thinking so, it was his duty to interpose bia objections. It he hud not done so be wouid have been lnlse to hla plighted talth. As to any suspiolon of disloyalty against him, his whoe political course disproves that. lnlHOl I was hero, but not a member ot the Setiuto, and I heard him, standing In the midst ot tht se who were plotting to desirov the Union, inwotds that burned, denounce their attempts at rebe lion, Mr.KveiScvada) Will tbe Senator allow me to ask bint a question? Mr. Johnson Certainly. Mr. lye Did he not at th e aame t lme admit the right ot secession ? Mr. Johnson Certainly not; quite the reverse. The most prominent public men who advocutcd It was the lute lamented President Lincoln, in a speech in 1K-17, Mr. iiye Mi. Meplieua certainly did not advocate It Mr Johnson I am not sneaking of Mr. ntephena but ol the President 01 the United Mates. My Irlend from Nevada Is not olten wrong, but he hss certaiuly made a mistake tills time. The President, in his own Siate of Tennessee, again perilled his lifo In defense of the Union. He -wants It restored and should we not come together once more, and glory lu the heroic deeds of each other? Mr Trumbull Mr. President, I did not hear pottectlv the opening remarks of the Senator. 1 understood blin to flay thut oil persoLS born in tho United Sta oswere not citizens. Mr. Johnson I maintain the opinion of Judge Curtla. Mr. Trnmbull That waa tbe opinion of a dissent' lug fudge, ltut, Mr. President. I have tha opinion of another gentleman, one who stands at the head of the bar of America at the piesent time. I read irom a speech delivered less than ninety days ago: from the speech of no less a person than the Senator from Maryland, Mr. Johnson. Mr. Trumbull then read from tho speech in question that all tree born colored persona were citizens, and, since slaver; waa abolUhed, that all colored persons w ere citizens, and to establish tne fact without dispute It wua necessary tor some legislation by Congress Mr. Trumbull next relerred to the act of 179(1. atlude i to by Dim esterdav. The "cnator claimed that that act onlv provided for punishment of a violation ot international law. and be would ask. waa a right secured by tbe Con stitution less sacred than one secured by international law? Mr. Trumbull claimed that the act was a com plete precedent for the second section 01 the bill under consideration. Mr. Johnson said b was rather aurprlsed that a gen tleman so clea: -beaded as tbe Senator should bave fallen Into the mistake ot supposing that there was any Incon sistency lu the speech referred to. and the position just assumed by him. He certaiuly did hold thai all persona born bete were citizens of the United States. Hut this did not entitle thoiu to tbe privileges of oitizenshlp in the state In winch they were born. Over the question of State citizenship the Sta es heldcomplute sovereignty, and It was not in the power of congress to comer tho right ot et'.te citizenship, n citizens of the United States, 'J his bl 1 assumed such a right Mr. Yatescil.l said tha,, under the slavery amend ment, he entertained the opinion that frreedmen were entitled to the same rights and inrivlleges as anv other citizen of the United Mates, The authorities quoted by the Senator irom Maryland, only held beiore the adop tion ot the siaverv amendment. The Senator from Maryland bad offered an amendment to the Fieedmen's Bureau bill, which recognized his (Mr. Yaus'i position as tha correct one. Mr. Trumbull said tbe speech of the Senator, from from which he had just read, waa de'lvered on this very bill. That Senator, with thirty others, bad voted lor an amendment declaring all persons cit zena excepting In dians not taxed; but In hla speech the Senator went farther than this, further extracts wore then read by Mr. Tru mbull.
