The second resolution stands inflexibly upon this proposition. Our Government has done znuels, from our-earliest history, to pro toct the lives and the pcoiterty of its citizens on its public domain. Where are our or- oriel; sent ? To protect our Territories For what I To protect persons and proper ty, and nothing else. The citizens of our 'I erritolics who have been enytroned by Induin foes, and have fought their way thiough Indian wars, realize the importance of tilts protection. Why was our Navy sent to Paraguay? It was on account of a citizen of one of the free States—a citizen of Rhode Island. It wss a case of offence to proper ty ; and the Navy was scut there in order thatilur government might do its duty in protecting that property. A Government is i derelict to the very, purpose of its institution; it is de-elicit to its obligations to the indi- I v 'dual citizen, if it fails or hesitates in acting promptly to protect the property as well as the person of that citizen.
