SPEECH OF MR. COWAN
CF PENNSYLVANIA.
On the Confiscation Bill,
IX SKXATE, JfARCH 4, 1862.
The Senate having under consideration the bill
to confiscate the property and free thoslaves of per
sons in rebellion against the United Stated,
Mr. Cow ah, of Pennsylvania, rose and addressed
the Senate as follows:
Mr. President: I agree with the honorable Se
nator from California, and look upon the bill now
under consideration os the most important by far
upon our calendar, involving the gravest questions
and most momentous issues. If it passes, 1 think it
will be the great historic event of the times—times
which are »s fruitful of events as any the world has
witnessed. Upon the didposUioh we may
make of it perhaps the fate of the American lie
public may depend ; and no one surely can over
rate the magnitude of anything which may bo at
tended with such consequences.
If* for one moment* wo can suppose tho sohomo
consummated which it contemplates, wo shall have
the following results:
I suppose it is reasonable and moderate to esti
mate the number of people engaged in the rebel
lion to be equal to one-half of the whole white
population of the Confederate States —say four
millions. If so, this bill proposes, at a single stroke,
to strip all this vast number of people of all their
property, real, personal, and mixed, of every kind
whatsoever, and reduce them at once to absolute
poverty; ainl that, too. at a time when we are at
war with them, when they have arms iu their
hands, with four hundred thousand of them in the
field opposing U 3 desperately.
JS T ow. sir, it does seem to me that if there was
anything in the world calculated to mako that four
millioDSOf people, and their four hundred thousand
soldiers in the field, now and' Forever hostile
to us and our Government, it would be the promul
gation of a law such as this. Will they yield to us
sooner in view of such a result to them ? What
would we be likely to do if they were to threaten
us with a similar law ? Would we ever, under any
circumstances, yield on terms like those ? I need
hardly ask that question to men descended from
sires who refused to pay the tax on teas, and from
grandtires who rose in rebellion and overturned a
monarchy rather than pay twenty shillings ship
money—for that, I believe, was the sum demanded
from Hampden, and which cost Charles I. his head.
Now, I do not incau to stop hero to discuss their
right to this species of property; it is enough for me
to say that all the people of tho slave States, loyal
and rebellious, seem to agree as to this with a won
derful unanimity, and to resent with an excessive
sensibility any interference with it whatever. And,
although iu the bitterness of the feuds engendered
by the civil war now raging among them, the loyal*
ists there would be glad to join in inflicting upon
the rebels even the severest punishments, yet this
one they abhor and refuse, because they aver that
it would bo equally injurious to them as to their
enemies * nrd it makes no manner of difference
■whether that view is correct or not, if they believe
it and this tbeir representatives can tell us. What
I mean to say is. that this bill would liberate, per
haps, three millions of slaves; surely the most stu
pendous stroke for universal emancipation ever
before attempted in the world; nay* I think it
equivalent, if carried cut, to a virtual liberation of
the whole four millions of slaves in the Union.
Not content, however, with this, those who favor
this bill seem determined to be wilder, and blind us
still more by an additional project of greater mag
nificence. and, if possible, of greater difficulty ; and
that is. in the duty it imposes upon tho President,
in the third section, of procuring a home for these
emancipated millions in some tropical country and
of transporting, colonizing, and settling them there,
if they desire to go, with guarantees for their rights
as freemen; and this is all provided ior In a section
of a single sentence of nine lines! Surely, sir. wo
must have been recently transported away from the
sober domain of practical fact, and set down in the
regions of Eastern fiction, if we can for a moment
entertain this proposition seriously. Do the ad
vocates of the scheme propose to confor upon the
President the gold-makiDg touch of Midas? One
would thiDk the universal menstruum or the philo
sopher's stone had been at last discovered. Cer
tainly, nothing short of the ring and lamp of
Aladdin, with xheir attendant genii, would enable
us, in oiir present condition, to assure the President
of his ability to enter upon such a task, unless in
deed it i 3 conceived the treasury note is of equal
potency in this behalf. .
Then there is a further consideration involved in
this bill of still greater moment than even those I
have already glanced at, and that is, its direct
confliot with the Constitution of the United States,
requiring us, indeed, should we pass it, to set aside
and ignore that instrument iu all its mo t valuable
and fundamental provisions; those which guaran
ty the life, liberty, and property of the citizen,
and those which define the boundaries between the
powers delegated to the several departments of the
Government.
Pass this bill, sir, and all that is left of the Con»
stitution is not worth much. Certainly it is not
worth a terrible and destructive war, such as wc
now wage for it. And it must be remembered that
that war is waged solely for the Constitution, and
for the ends, aims, and purposes sanctioned by it,
and for no others
I am, therefore, opposed to this bill, to all and
every part of it, except to the last two sections,
which, although not free from objections, yet these
are not of such a serious character but that I could
give my assent to them. I will proceed to give my
reasons, then, and show, if I can, why I think the
bill and its ma ; n provisions unnecessary, impolitic,
inexpedient, and unconstitutional, and, I might
add, utterly and totally useless. Now, however, I
Shall address myself to sustain this proposition, to
v?it, Congress cannot forfeit the property of rebels
for longer than their live?, by the enactment of any
law wb&tever, for ihe following reasons:
]. Those persona now in rebellion, having leyied
war against tho United States, are guilty of treason
within ibe exact definition of that crime contained
in tbe (bird svetion tbs third artiste of the Con
stitution, in which it is declared that
“Treason against the United States shall consist
only in levying war against them, or in adhering to
their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”
Hence, it cannot be doubted but that as soon as
the rebels are arrested and brought within the
power of any law we may pass, they become eo in
stanfe traitors, and obnoxious* to the punishment
which is imposed by our statute for treason. As
long, however, as the rebel is at large, or in the
hands of the military, Re cares nothing for the law,
and is cot amenable to it, because the military
power cannot try him under the law —that must be
done by the courts. But the second clause of that
same seotion provides, further, that
“The Congiess shall have power to declare the
punishment Gl 1 reason, but no attainder of treason
shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture, exoept
during the life of tbe person attainted.”
Therefore, any law made for the guidance of the
courts must conform to this provision, and no other
or greater penally could be imposed than it would
warrant. If, therefore, the law was to enact an
absolute forfeiture of the estates of the traitor, it
would be bad for the excess, and the judges would
be obliged to make the sentence constitutional,
either by cutting down the statutory penalty to a
forfeiture of his estates for life, or by omitting to
forfeit them a b all ■ All this seems bo me so obvious
ns not to be doubted.
2. The power turned in this bill is also obnoxious
to the provisions of the Constitution, if it be as*
sutned that Congress can legislate an effectual for
feiture of the estates of rebels, as such, without al
lowing Them an opportunity or means of trial in the
courts. Because,
1. By the fifth amendment to the Constitution] it
is provided:
”h*o person shall he held to answer for a capital or
otherwise ibiacnoa? crime, uulvsa oa a proseutmeat or
indictment of a grnim jury, except in case 3 arising
in the land or urnral tureen, cr in tim militia when m ac
tual service, in time of war or public danger; nor shall
any poison Le subject, for tbe same offence, to be twice
jmt in jeopardy of life or limb ; nor shall be compelled,
in am criminal caec« to bo a witueas against himself: nor
he deprived of or property, without due pro
cess of iaw; nor shall private property bo taken for pub
lic use without just compensation.”
Here it is attempted to deprive a large das3 of
persons of all their estates and property] without
any arieat, without any presentment by a grand
jury, without any trial by a petit jury, without, in
deed. any trial at all in any court. This would be
to deprive them of their property in the very face
of the provision requiring that it shall only be done
“ by due process of law,” which all commentators
and ell lawyers agree, means proceedings according
to the course of common law.
I may also furthe r remark that it is in this limi
tftion of the powers of the Government, and their
distribution after the manner of the Constitution,
that its great merit consists. On those accounts
yre lore, cherish, nud revere it; and because it has
such features wo are now at war with all our k force
and treasure to defend and preserve it. Had we
no Constitution limiting its powers, defining its
agencies, fixing the boundaries of their rights and
duties under if, nobody would lift a hand for it;
and if you make it usurp powers not granted at all;
not granted to tbe usurping department, then our
war for it is a great mistake; if not a great wicked
ness.
Again, this is further guarded against in the ninth
section of the first article and third clause, as fol
lows i “No bill of attainder o feat post futbd law
shall be parsed.”
Besides, to grant .our power of passing bills of
pains and penalties is to nullify tbe whole effect
of tbe clause, inasmuch as it is easy, by passing
several of these against the same person, to make
their aggregate nsult precisely the same &s a bill
of attainder. Such a construction would defeat
the provision instead of making it avail, as in
tended.
We are not left, however, without authority as
to this point, if any, were needed to give force to
the reason adduced for it, because Judge Story, in
bis Commentary on the Constitution, at section
1,344,eay5:
“ But, in the sense of the Constitution, it seems
that bills of attainder include bills of puns and
penalties; for the Supreme Court have said, [ A
bill of attainder innv affect the life of an individual,
or may confiscate his property, or both. 5 ”
Again:
* ‘Bills of attainder, as they sro technically
Called, are euch special acts of the Legislature as
inflict capital punishments upon persons supposed
to be guilty of high offences, such &$ gpd
felony, without any conviction in the ordinary
course of judicial proceedings. If an act inflicts
& milder degree of punishment than death, it is
culled a bill of pains and penalties. But, in the
sense of the Constitution, it seems that bills of at
laihdeP include bills «f fiiiinS and penalties, for the
Supreme Court have said ‘ a bill of attainder may
effect tbe life of an individual, or may confiscate
bis property, or both.* In such oases the Legisla
ture assumes judicial magistracy, pronouncing
upon The guilt of The party without any of the
common forms and guards of trial, and satis
fying itself with proofs, when such proofs
are within i-:s reach, whether they are
conformable to tbe rules of evidence or not.
£n short, in ail such ca§«a, tbe Legislature exer
cises the highest power of sovereignty, and what
may be properly deemed an irresponsible despotic
discretion, being governed solely by what it deems
political necessity or expediency, and too often un
der the influence of unreasonable fears or unfound
ed suspicions. Such acts have been oftep resorted
to in foreign Governments as a common engine of
State; and even in England they have been pushed
to the most extravagant extent in bad times, reach
ing as well to tbe absent and the dead as to the liv
ing. Sir Edward Coke has mentioned it to be
•.mongtbe transQcndppt powers of Parliament that
nn act may be passed to attaint a man after he is
dead. And the reigning monarch, who was
slain at Boßworth, is said to have been at
tainted by an act of Parliament, a few months
After his death, notwithstanding the absurdity of
deeming him at once in possession of the
throne and a traitor. The punishment has often
been inflicted without calling upon the party ac
cused to answer, ot without even the formality ot
proof, and sometimes because Jthe law, in its ordi
nary course of proceedings, would the of
fender. The injustice ana iniquity of Buch acts, in
general, constitute an irresistible argument against
the existence of the power. In a free government
it would be intolerable; and in the bands of a
reigning faction, it might be, and probably would
be, abused, to the ruin and death of the most vir
tuous citizens. Bills of this sort have been most
usually parsed, in England, in times of rebellion,
or of gro** Hibservtcr.vy to the Crown, or of violnnt
political excitements—periods in which all nations
are most liable (as well tho free as the enslaved) to
forget tbeir duties, and to trample upon the rights
and liberties of others.”
I have thus far considered the subject of forfei
-1 lire of estates as a ptihi&hment for crime, and 1
think no one can doubt that it is unconstitutional,
if absolute, even in the ordinary course of tho ad
ministration of tho laws; and I think it is also
clear that no warrant can be found for it, where
the Legislature undertakes to declare it upon the
principle of a bill of attainder.
I now propose to go further, and argue that the
exercise of such a power, even if it hud been granted,
would now be mischievous and impolitic, and that
our fathers did wisely and well in refusing it. Their
great principle was to punish thß guilty alone, and
not involve a whole family in the ruin which the
head of it might have brought upon hiznsolf, by
his crimes, because, in fact, the family might have
been, and in most eases was, wholly innocent. By
their jutt leniency they showed that they looke4
beyond the hour of conflict to the better day of re
conciliation, and offered a bounty to tho hoirs of the
guilty that they might be loyal.
In the light of this oxposition let us follow tho
consequences of this bill into detail, and let4i3 sup
pose its provisions fully carried out. Our armies
have overrun the whole territories of the Confede
rate States; resistance has entirely ceased, and tho
President and bis officers being masters of the coun
try. they have time to finish the residue of their
work by gathering in the balance of the property
of ihe rebels not already taken to supply the “mili
tary necessities” of the suppression. Tho rebels
themselves are homeless, houseless, and property
less ; and tbe question arises, have you mado them
loyal by your severity ? Are you assured their
love for the Urjor will return again after this
chastisement? Have you thought how they would
shout at the sight of the glorious old banner—“ the
Stais and Stripes”—which brought them such de
liverance ?
But the President and his officers are to dispose of
these confiscated estates. Who will buy them?
What kind of neighborhood will exist between the
former owner or his heirs and your alienees or their
heirs ? How the delights of this society will en
hance the value of those estates to the parchasers,
especially when they reflect that the forfeiture will
never be forgotten in the family of the rebel, and
that, if they have no other, they can transmit this
inheritance to their descendants. unimpaired for
centuries ! The tradition of it will ait continually
by tho hearthstone of that family, a hideous spectre,
deathless for ages, prompting to revenge and in-
citing to rebellion.
I desire here, sir, to notice, in regard to th.\3
second section, that it is liable to another objec
tion, whiqh, to my mind, is fatal in is«lf upon
grounds of policy :
«• Sec. 2 And he if f urttier enacted, That every per
son having claim to tho service or labor of auy other per
son in uny State under the laws thereof, who, during tho
present rebellion, shall take up anus against the ITuitt*!
States, or in any manner give aid and ggmturt to said re^
LelJioi*, shall thereby forthwith forfeit all claim to such
service or labor, and the persons from whom it ia cl aimed
tc* he due, commonly called slaves, shall, ipso facto, on
tho coimniarion of tt e act of forfeiture by the party ha
ving claim !o the servico oriubor aforesaid, bedischarged
therefrom and become forever thereafter free persona,
any law of any State, or of tho Uuitcii States, to tbo con
trary notwithstanding. And when ever any person claim
ing to be entitled to the service or labor of any other per
son declared to be discharged from such labor or service,
under tbo previsions of this act, shall seek to enforce
such claim, ho shall, iu the first instance, and bcfoio any
order for llio"*'siirrfiidor of ibe person whose service is
claiued, establish not only his title to such service, as
now provided by Jaw, but also that he is and lias bt-eu,
doling the existing rebellion, loyal to the Government of
tho United States: and no person engaged iu the military
or navel service of tbe United Slates ana)], under any
pretence whatever, assume to decide on the validity of
the claim of any person to tho service or labor of any
othir person, or to surrender up auy su:h person to tho
claimant.”
Now, sir, as a Republican, I protest against any
measure of this kind emanating from the legisla
tive branch of this Government, I do so for my
own and for the sake of the great party which came
to the rescue ©f the Union and the Government just
at the time when the conspirators had almost con
summated the ruin of both, and both of which, I
trust in God, with the aid of good loyal men every
where, it will be strong enough, to restore and
wise enough to preserve in all their former vigor
and glory. Now, sir, if evor there was ono slander
more foul than another, or more mischievous to the
peace and happiness of the country than another,
it was tbe allegation made by the conspirators of
the South, and reiterated over and over again by
their scarcely less wicked confederates of the North,
that the sole object of tho Republican party was the
abolition of negro slavery in the Southern States of
the Union. That dander, sir, was the moving cause
of this war; that was tbe catchword which inflamed
tbe South, which enabled the leaders of the rebel
lion to consolidate her people and obtain over
them a control which prevented us ever smee
15.";4 from having a hearing before them, which
eliut out from them all testimony as to our real
principles and beliefs, and left them exposed to be
confirmed in their error by the knowing and wilful
falsehoods of their allies in the North. And, sir, I
have but a single word here to say of those allies, and
it is this: that I have a thousand times more respect
for. and faith in, the poor soldier in the rebel army
to-day, and in his patriotism and loyalty, thau I
have in those editors of the North who, year after
j ear, month after month, and day after day, know
ing the same to be false, published and sent down
to the South this gigantic tie and base slander
against- the true men of the free States, nine hun
dred and ninety-nine out of every thousand of
whom never dreamed of disturbing anybody 5 .* con
stitutional rights; never thought of abolishing
negro slavery when it lawfully existed in States;
men who, on the contrary, were aa obedient to the
Constitution as to the behest of their religion, re
verencing it next to their Bible, and giving now,
on the battle-fields of the South, the offer of their
very lives to sustain it; men who never cared or
took a thought of slavory as imposing a single re
sponsibility upon them, and who never vrould have
come into collision with it anywhere of their own
choice.
And in tbe case before us, the President, or his
generals, with their armies, have a right to attack
tba rebels m arms, and kill thorn if they do not
submit. He has also a right to take, by way of
capture, all their public property used in the war,
such as forts, ships, arms, ammunition, stores of
every kind, Ac., but be could not do as this bill
proposes to do; he could not follow the rebel after
his surrender, and take from his house the private
property which he had loft there for his wife and
children while ho was at the war. And all this be
cause a Christian civilization has taught the nations
that such modes of making war are not only not
necessary, but that they are in all cases mischie
vous and injurious even to the conqueror himself.
The next question which arises is, whether, being
friends, we should enroll them as soldiers in our
armies? The answer to this depends upon another
consideration. AYe have seen that the President
must make war according to the laws of nations,
and of course he must compel his soldiers to oh
serve those laws; and he would not'bo warranted
in enlisting such as could not, from any cause, be bo
controlled and restrained. It follows, then, as a
corollary from this, that if the negroes of the
South could be drilled and disciplined so as
to become obedient to the laws of war, there is
is no valid objection to their being employed for
that purpose the same as other men. But if, on'the
other hand, they are ignorant, barbarous, and savage
to suoh an extent as, coupled with the fact that they
belong to a rac£ towards which ours entertain strong
antipathies, and from their degraded aud servile
condition, it would be impossible to restrain them
from committing outrages not allowable even against
the enemy, then they ought not to be employed in
our ranks; and to do so on our part would bring
down upon ua the odium of all Christendom and the
condemnation of all good men. The question, then,
is one for the President and his military advisers to
decide; and lam content to confide it to them, as I
am all other duties devolved upon them by the laws
and the ConstUut&a,
But it is said that because the Constitution con
fers upon Congress the right “ to make rules con
cerning captures on land and water,” that this law
is proper to enable the President to make the cap
tures it contemplates. The answer is, that- the bill
does nbt contemplate, apply, or relate to captures
at all; because, in the case of a capture, the right
of the thing captured depends solely upon the
taking, and, in case of recapture by the first
owner, his right reverts again; but this is a bill of
forfeiture and confiscation, or, perhaps, a confused
aHeropt at Both; and if it ccutd operate at alt, it
would pass the title to all the property of rebels
immediately to and vest in tbe United States with
out any capture or seizure of it whatever, the law
itself conferring seizin upon the United States by
the very terms of it.
Again; it ia attempted to put the propriety of
tbis bill, and I suppose the constitutionality of it,
too, upon the principle ruled in the case of the
United States vs. Brown, 8 C ran oh. 110, in which
it was held that enemy property in this country at
the declaration of war against Great Britain, in
was not confronted by that declaration, and
that in order to do so an act of Congress was neces
sary—and so I think the law is—for the reason that
in that case the property attempted to be confiscated
was within the domain of laxo % and the law—t mean
hero municipal law—is of course supreme every
where within its domain; but the property which
tbis bill attempts to confiscate by the first section is
in the country of the belligerent, and therefore ex
tra-territorial, where the law can have no effect,
and where we are obliged to operate by force or
war* The Legislature, therefore, has nothing to
do with it till the President captures it, (as he
might in certain cases be warranted in doing.) and
then Congress might make a law for its disposition,
either giving it in whole or in part to thte captors,
or directing the whole to be put into the public
treasury.
Sir, I hope and trußt some other and better way
than this will be found to punish those concerned
in this rebellion after it shall have been suppressed,
and that the method adopted, whatever it may be,
will not be one which will furnish cause for future
revolts. Those who'are to be punished at all, ought
to be punished effectually under the OcastUutt&H,
and according to the laws they have violated; and
those who are to be forgiven ought to be forgiven
fully and freely, as it becomes the majesty of a
great nation to forgive. Having rescued the re
volted States, and restored the dominion over them
to the loyal people within them, I wQVlld have the
traitors dealt within such a way as not to endanger
in the future either the happiness or the safety of
such as have remained faithful through the terri
ble ordeal to which they had been subjected. In
this I should consult their wishes nnd defer much
to their better judgment; but certainly I would
not do that which, in their opinion, would leave
them worse with the Union restored than they would
be with the Confederacy sustained. I would not
offer bounties to make them rebels, neither would
I iEßposc penalties or conditions having the like
effect. I look upon this bill as a measure of the
latter kind —the natural consequence of which
would be to give to the rebels the energy of despair,
and to take from tho loyalists every motive for
fidelity* rasa this bilb and the same messenger
who carries it to the South will come back to us
with the news of their complete consolidation as one
man* We will then have done that which treason
could nob do; we ourselves will then have dissolved
the Union ; we shall have rent its sacred charter
And sjttfpguished the last vestige of affection for it
in the slave States by our blind and passionate
folly.
I am well aware, sir, of the object of this second
clause—emancipating the slaves of tho rebels—and
I know there are many who think that ought to be
done, became they thtak iteYsry the only eauae for
the rebellion. In considering this, it is well to
remember that there are now in the world, and
always will be, many great evils which God, in his
wisdom, and for hi 3 own purposes, has put out of
the reach of remedy, except in his own way and
at bis own time, find then his m6&»3 always
adequate and very generally apparent. Four
millions of negro slaves are now in bondage
in the United States. Where are the signs of
tb eir emancipation ? Have not hundreds of thou- .
sands of !h?§? everywhere had ample opportunities
to throw off their chains within the lost few months?
Have they done so? And if they hare not done so
can you compel them to exchange voluntary servi
tude for involuntary freedom? I thought the
i world woe old enough by this* tim? to know that
! they who are entitled tn freedom thowsolves must
! strike the blow which i 3 to secure it What blow
i has the negro siruek for himself in this hi? fairest
1 opportunity T Ilia rebel muster, with a madness to
[ all other meu incomprehensible, engaged himself
■ in revolt, broke up the society in which ho lived,
; liberated all its elements so that they are free to act,
and thus tacitly invited him to assert his manhood.
How has be availed himself of it? Why, sir, just
in tbe WAy ohfi wight have okpected ; knowing no
thing of liberty, caring nothing for it, he has remain
ed inactive as the domestic animals around him, im
pelled perhaps by the same unoonsoious instinct of
dependence upon tho providence of a muster wiser
and stronger than himself. A child always in the
scale of development, he may have had gome child's
consciousness that the boon of liberty, so ostenta
tiously ottered him by Ids over-zoalom frieuds,
might provo to him fatal as the shirt of Nessus or
the box of Pandora, and he still hesitates and hugs
his chains. I Imvo mi hope of him yet, though,
God knows, I would have him free—free os lam
myself, if freedom* be his choice through tho strife
and agony by which he, as all men, must purchase
it. Eternal vigilance and continual struggle is the
juice of.liberty.
In conclusion, I havo only to say that I hope this
bill will not pass, and that we may all address our
selves to (he matters we have in hand, that are
really necessary to our success in the great struggle
in which we are engaged.
Surely there is no call for us that we should turn
out of our safo way to tread upon dubious grouud.
Surely we have enemies enough already, without
making more by embarking in now projects so ob
jcctionable to the friends we now need so much,
gan wo sot await a iittlo longer tho tid? yf yvcati
before we engage in doing that which, oven if
there were nothing else against it, all must agree is
now premature? Is not our first duty to carry on
Ihe great war we have undertaken, till wc have
triumphantly secured the great end for which we
lYii&o it. without anticipating that triumph; and
perhaps losing it by yieluinguursolves to that pre
mature anticipation ?
For my own part, I can only sec my duty clearly
by confining my vision to the sole end of restoring
il« supremacy of tbs Constitution nnti laws over
tlio whole territory of the Union, and thou all else
is easy. May God grant this consummation!
THE (OXFISUTIOK BILL.
The Speech of Senator Trumbull
We give additional extracts from lion. Mr. Trum
bull's great speech on the confiscation bill, delivered
in the United States Senate on Monday:
fllr. TKUMBUI.Ii stoU The bill does not propose to
confiscate, either absolutely or lor life, tho property of
rebels wlu» are or can be arrested.. If, therefore, it were
admitted that it is in the power of Congress to forfeit tho
property of rebels who are arrested and convicted of
treason lor longer than their lives, it could hftTV DO bear
ing upon this bill, fur tbe simple reason that this bill only
aims to result the property of such rebels or traitors as aro
be; ond the reach of judicial process, and can nei tlier be ar
rested, tried, tor convicted for treason or any otheroffooce.
Surely, the prohibition against confiscating beyond life
tho property of the man who is arrested und made to suffer
ib his person for bis erihi£9, catiuoi prevent the absolute
confiscation of the property of the criminal who is beyond
our reach, and cannot be arrested, but who has left pro
perty within our jurisdiction, which we can reach. Sup
pose a foreigner wort engaged in this rebellion against tho
Government, it is clear that such a person* owing no alle
giflncG lo tho Government, could not he couvleted of trea
son. Does it therefore lollow that the property within
our jurisdiction could not he confiscated ? Or in the case
of the rebellious citizen whofle«s beyond tho jurisdic
tion of the country, is his often be considered as be
yond the reach of the GoTerznSht, even to forfeit his
property within its territorial boundary i it k manifest
that the clause of the Constitution limiting tho punish
ment for treason can have no more appti-’ation to the con
fiscation of the properly of a person who cannot bo ar
rested and tried for treason, thau has tho pimi-thmont pre
scribed by statute for murder to do with that for larceny.
Tho fif.h amendment to tho Constitution throw,
stronger safeguards around the life and liberty of a per
son than around his property, for the reason, doubtless,
that life and hbeity are more valuable thau property.
If, then, it is unconstitutional “to deprive a large class
of persons of all their estates and property without any
arrest, without auy presentment by a grand jury, with
out any trial by a petit j ury* withont iiidMul any trial
at &11 in any comV* i» it not equally unconstitutional to
deprive them of life or liberty, oxcept by “due process
of law l 1 * Is it, then, unconstitutional to shoot and take
prisoners the rebels on the battle field ? Are tbe patri
otic soldiers who do it murderers *? WotiLi the Senator
[rum Tenoßilyflnia h»YO tt presentment by a granl
jury and a trial by a petit jury on the field of
battle of each person in the enemy's ranks who
waß firing upon our soldiers, in order that ho might
not be ebot aud deprived of life iu the very Face of the
provision requiring that it shall only be done “by due
process oflaw> which all coinnumtalorß and ail lawyers
agree means proceedings according to the course of tbe
common law ?” Is it not clear that if wc cannot take
the property of our enemies in war except “ by due pro
cess of law,” neither can we take their lives in any other
way ? What is the answer to all this ! How is it, in tho
face of tbe fifth amendment* that Congress may provide
for taking the Jives and property of rebels without “due
process of law?” The answer is to be found in tho
grat ts of power in other parts of the Constitution, which
declare that Congress ehall have power “to declare war,”
and “make rules concerning captures on laud and
water;” “to raise and support armies;” “to provide
and maintain a n&yy; to make rules for the government
and regulation of tho laud and naval forces; to provide
for calling forth the militia to execute the iawß of tho
Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions,”
and “to make all laws which .shall bo necessary and
proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers."
These provisions of the Constitution do not mean that
Congress may raise Annies and call forth the piihtlft to
suppress rebellion “ according to the course of the com
mon law'," but to put it down by force and violence. It
is because the peace cannot be preserved, tho enemy
overcome, and the rebellion suppressed by proceedings
according to the course of the common law that the army
ia culled into being, and when so called into being it ope
rate?, not according to the course of the common law* hilt
occordir. gto the usage of armies engaged in. war in deal
ing with their enemies. Hence, the authority of the
army by violence to deprive an enemy of life, liberty, and
property, in time of war, is as ample as that of the court*
to deprive a person of either by due process of law in
time of peace, for the reasen that it is by force aud vio
lence riiat armies overcome tbeir enemies *, and whan tbo
Constitution conferred on Congress tho power to raise
ar.d support armies, it conferred also, as incident to that
power, the authority to use thorn in the manner that
armies are accustomed to operate.
The Senator from California* to show why this bill
ought not to pass, quotes from Si«iy the following:
“It surely is enough for society to take the life of the
offender, as a just punishment of his crime, withouttaking
from his offspring and relatives that’property which may
be the only means of saving them from poverty aud
ruin.”
Another ground of objection to this hill is the allegation
(hat it id an encroAciiinetit on tbe prerogative* of the Pie*
sklent, who, it is alleged, as Com minder-in* chief of the
army and navy, already possesses the power of confisca
tion ; that the extraordinary powers which the Govern*
ment nmy wield in time of war. called war powers, belong
to the President, and not to Congress, and in support of
iiii proposition my colleague cites tbe case of Luther vs.
Bordeu, reported in T Howard. I will endeavor to show,
as I think I can, that such claims of prerogative on the
part of the President are unwarranted by the Constitu
tion—against the practice of tbe Government from its
foundation, and that the case of Luther vs. Borden, so far
from being an mitbority for aneb assumption, is an au
thority against it,
1. There Is not a syllable in the Constitution confer*
ring on the President war powers. The Constitution sim
ply makes him Commander-In-Chief of the Army and
Navy, when called into being, but he has no power to
raise the one nor provide the other. A? Commander«in«
Chief, when an army Sb raised, In the absence of any
rules adopted by Congress for its government, be would
liave tbe tight to control it In the prosecution of the war,
according to his discretion, not vioiatiug the'established
rules of civilized warfare, but be would not have the
right to confiscate eDemy’B property, becauso this is a
power vlilcb eait oitly be eScrclsed In pursuance of act
of Congress, ard does not belong to the Commander-in-
Cliitf. win, as sucb, could only seize and hold property
that was visible and tangible till the end of the war, when
it would revert to its original owuer. The Constitution
says: “Congress” (not the ‘‘shall have
power to declare war, to raise and support armies,” and.
to “ provide and maintain a navy.”
2. When armies and navies are raised by Congress, of
which the President Is, by the Constitution, made Coin*
mander-in-cluef, he can only govern and rogulate them
as Congress shall direct, because the Constitution says;
“ G'uiigrm shall have power to make rules for the go
vernment and regulation of the land and naval forces.”
3. It has been tbe piacticeof Congress, from the or
ganization of the Government, to control the President
iu his government of the army. The first Congress which
met under the Constitution adopted the rules and articles
cf war tor the government of the army, as they existed
Uiidf-P the Cdiifeddf&tiAU. iilld bdfefe we hid a President.
In lSCfi Congress revised tbe rules and articles for the
government of the armies of the United States, in an act
containing more than a hundred distinct articles, which,
with few variations, are now the law, whereby the mode
of organizing, officering, and governing the officers and
men. wag regulated with great minuteness. Tlio fiftys
eighth article declares that—
“ All public stores takon in theenemy’s camp, towns,
forts, or magazines, whether of artillery, ammunition,
clothing, forage, or provisions, shall ho secured for the
service of the United States, for the neglect of which the
commanding clllcer shall be answerable.”
Surety the men who made out put into operation the
Constitution understood very little of its provisions when
they passed such a law as this, if my colleague is right in
his assertion that “the war-executing powers are vested
iu the President, in the executive department of the
Government, and Congress has no more right to touch
th«-m or exercise them than it has to usurp aud exer
ci&e the judicial functions of the Government ”
4. The advocates for this arbitrary power in the Pre
sident, without limitation or restraint of any kind, will
lied aa little support for tbe assumption injudicial deci
sions as in the uoDriiUr.ion and tbe practice of tbe Go
vernmeiit. Does not my colleague know that mi which
be quoted from the opinion of the court in the case of
Luther vs. Btfden, had reference to the power of the
rrefcldeut in calling out the militia in subordination of
an act of Congress, and has no reference whatever to bis
power under the Constitution independent of sucb aa act?
Does he not know that without sucb act he could not
cnll forth a man even to suppress insurrection or repel
hvviwfon i If not) I refer him to the Constitution, which
declares that« Congress shall have power to provide for
calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union,
supprera'insurrectioii, and repel invasion.”
But, sir, another decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States disposes of all these questions, decidua that
tli? power of confiscation is vested ia Congress, and no
where else • that the President possesses no such power
under the* law of nations: and that the modern usage or
law of nations does not of itself, by its own force, consti
tute a rule which ads upon property, except through the
sovereign power, the Legislature. I refer to the case of
Bowen vs. The United States, reported in Cranch (page
lio), in which the court says •
** Respecting tbe power of the Government no doubt is
entertained. That war gives to the sovereign full right to
take the persons and confiscate the property of the ene
my wherever found, is conceded. The mitigations of this
rigid mle, which huinano ai-d wise policy of modern
times lias introduced into practice, will more or less
affect tbe exercise of this right bin cannot impair the
right itself. That wmalfifi übdiftiihUliM, &bd wh«m toft
sovereign authority shall choose (o bring it into opera
tion, the judicial department must give effect to its will.
But until that will Bhall bo expressed, no power of con
demnation can exist in the court.”
# # * *- * #
“It appears to the court that the towerof confiscating
an enemy’s property ifl in the Legislature* and that the Le
gislature has not yet declared its will to oonliscate pro
perty which was within our territory at tho declaration
of war.”
Chief Justice Marshall, in this opinion, effectually dis
poses of the assumption that tbe Exe native may seize
and tbe courts condemn all property which according to
the modern law of nations, iB subject to condemnation, aa
well as of that other assumption that there is a law of na
tions higher and above the sovereign power of the State,
by declaring that such law is but a guide which the so
vereign follows or abandons at will, and that although it
cannot beflisresevdad without obloquy, pot it may bo dis
regarded. If this were not so tbe extraordinary spectacle
might be presented of the courts of a country disavowing
and annulling the acts of their own Government in mat
ters of State and political diplomacy. Another objection
urged to the bill Is, that it confiscates the property of
all absent rebels, including thoNo who have been unwil*
lingly forced into the Confederate service, as well as
those who have voluntarily entered it.. A moment's re
flection must satisfy all that this objection is without
force, for no court or commission would ever enforce
a penalty against a person who had been compelled
by force to commit the act of forfeiture. The prin
ciple of law is too wall settled to require dUcusiion.
that no man can bo held responsible for acts which
he had not tbe power to prevent; nor is any
saving clause necessary in the bill to protect the pro
perty of those forced into the rebellion from forfeiture,
any more than there is for such a clause to protect a man
found among a hand of robbers pr pirates, when be was
able to fehow that bo had been forced to join them. But
if the bill were obnoxious to this objection, which,
in my opinion, it is not, it would be easy to obviate
the difficulty by limiting its operation to the property
of such absent persons as shall join the rebellion
wifhotit leKtr&hit. Having shown, as T think, that
?>>® HU is not vf the eweepLug charactor represented
by Senators who have spokeji against It, that it fs
net obnoxious to the charges of unconst Ltutionality
which they have mode, anil that the war power is not in
the President, but in Congress, which has exercised it
from tbe foundation ot the Government, 1 assume, as posi
tions which cannot bo successfully controverted, that
Congress, in providing for the prosecution of the war
against the rebels, has a right to direct that such means
el,all be resorted to aa it believes necessary aud properfor
the attainment of tbe end of tho war, which U the sup

seizure aud appropriation of enemy's property is stated
in these words by writers on international law:
“ Plow the moment one State is at war with another,
it fins, on general principle*, a ri,>lit to kiuzo all thn cne
my’fi property, of whiiidouv.-r kind Hiid whoroAoo^fli 1

lam unwilling that rebel chiefs, liko Slidell aud
who are f-Aid to be largo landholders in the loy-1 States,
and have escaped to foreign lands, should bo permitted to
Cbj»y the lriiUs of tlielr ©states* situated within our juris
diction, while the lives nndpropiuty of thousand* of loyal
men have been sacrificed, and a debt ineir red which will
ho a burden on the country for gonorationa to comn in
eonmiurxire or tho wicked rebellion whnh they havo in
augurated. That, wo have the right, to oxorcrio bellige
rent rights towards the pci sons and property of thosem
aims ng-dnst Ihe Government, ami who are fighting for
its overthrow, even tho opponents of this bill wiU
acuiit. When a rebellion becomes so formidable
as to bo able to muster armies of hundreds
of tiiouß&uds of men, and n aattain itself in arms
ngoinbl the foi eoH of tbe Government for almost a year, it
surely has iiUuimrf a ni'iKuilu'lountitliny it tn im ctdlod a
civil war; and international law writers agroo that tho
common lawß of war aro to ho observed iu a civil war in
the same manner as in a war bi tween independent States.
If, therefore, iu waging war against, a foreign nation, tho
United States could confiscate tbe property of the enemy
through ail act of UoiwreMt and only in nnrgiiancG of an act
oi Congress, as decided by the Supreme Court, it follows
that they may now conlisctte the property of the rebels.
It matters not whether the war we are waging be with fo
reign or domestic eut mien, our righ ts against them aro the
bhxuo while the war continues j and In f-ho prosocution of
tho wnr we havo a right* for tho tiuio being* to treat all
parts of the country which are in posicsaion of tho rebels,
and tvhero the laws of tho Union are overborne, as
foreign. This principle was Bottled by n decision of tho
Supreme Court in the case of tho United States vs. llico
(4 Wheaton* 246), in which U was hold that thu town of
Cttstine. In Mnmo, u hioh was token poiuouiuu of and o »-
cupied by tho British for severul months during the war
of 1812, was, while iu their possession, as respects our
revenue laws, to be deemed a Foreign country, no that
goods imported into it were not imported into tho
United States, nor subject to the payment of duties;
and if a portion of tho Union occupied by the enemy
may bo treated as foreign for revenue, why not also
for confiscation purposes? AH the departments of the
Government—executive, legislative, and judicial—have,
for certain purposes, already treated thoso parts of the
Union in possession and under the control of the rebels
as foreigD, ami the rebels themselves us enemies or belli
gerents. This Ims been done by tho passage of a non
intercourse act; by tbo blockado of tho reb<d coast; and
the condemnation, as lawful prize, of vessels attempting
to run the blockade; by the interchange of flags of truce,
the exchange of prisoners, and in various other ways.
Thus treating a portion of the Union as foreign for war
pm-posee, and the rebels as belligerents* while it gives us,
during the continuance of the war, all the rights which
we could exercise againbt tho property and persons of
foreign euemies, does not impair our right when the laws
of tho Union shall be established over the rebellions dis
tricts, and the rebels themselves reduced to subjection, to
t¥4At th£M Heitors &ud fciiuUk tli&ft f6F their 4rime3.
which I trust will be done, at least to far as the leaders
are concerned.
To the most Important features in the bill under con
sideration I have thus far made no allusion. They are
the second utul tliird sections of the bill. The sacond is
in these words:
And he it further enacted , That every person having
claim to the amice or labor of any other person in any
State, under the laws thereof, who during the present
rebellion shall take up arms against tho United States, or
in any manner give aid and' comfort to said rebellion,
shall thereby forthwith forfeit all claim to such service
or labor, and tho persons from whom it is clAimed to be doe,
commonly called slaves, shall, ipso facto, on the com
mission of tho act of forfeiture by the party having
claim to the eervioe or labor as aforesaid, be discharged
therefrom, and become forever thereafter free persons,
any law of any State, or of tho United States, to the con
trary notwithstanding. And whenever any person
claiming to he entitled to the service or labor of any
other person shall -eek to enforce such claim, he shall,
in the first instance, and before proceeding with the
trial of liis claim, Batisfactoril' prove that he is, and has
been during the existing rebellion, loyal to the GoYorn
mt»ut of the United Slates. Aud no porsun engaged in
tho military or naval service of the United States shall,
under any pretence whatever, assume to decide on the
validity of the claim of any person to tbe service or la
bor of any ether person, or to surrender up any such
person to the claimant.
The thit<l Ecctioo mokes it the duty of the President to
provide for the colonization and protection, aa freemen,
in some tropical country, of such of the African race
made free by tho previous section as may desire to emi
grate. Slavery is admitted, by most loyal citizens, to
have been the cause of this wicked rebellion; and it is
also very generally admitted that the Federal Govern
meit has no power under the Constitution to remove
this cause by abolishing slavery in the States. I, in
common with the Republic ans generally, have often
declared that Congress was not responsible for, and had
no power under the Constitution to iuterfere with,slavery*
in the States. I say so to-day ; and because the Bepnb
licau party generally has maintained this position, the
Senator from Pencsylmiia (Mr, Cowan)* in the name
of Republicanism, arraigns those of us who are in favor
of this bill aa acting inconsistently with our professions.
He has probably been misled by the title of the bill,
which might more properly bo styled a bill to discourage
rebellion, than “a bill to confiscato the property and free
the slaves of rebelsfor, sir, this bill does not make a
repti of anybody, nor of itself free a single slave. If a
slave getshxs freedom under it, it will be by the voluntary
act of bis rebel master. Surely tho Republican party
never pledged itseli not to paea a law to punish rebels.
SuppOße, be ore this rebellion broke out, a slave had been
detected in robbing the mails, would the Senator from
PeiiiwlTflßte have considered Iho Bepuhlioftß party
bound by its pledges not to punish the Blave for his
crime, lebt in bo doing it should interfere with slavery ?
Suppose a servile insurrection to have broken out in some
Southern State, and the State* to have called on the Federal
Government to furnish aid for its suppression, would tbe
Btaiiiw imw «pniider?(i tii? Republican parti - itenad art
to respond to this constitutional call, lest it should in
terfere with slavery in a State ? Or, suppose the
slaves of the South Bhould be armed by their rebel
musters, and marshaled to fight against the Union,
would the Republican Senator from Pennsylvania hesi
tate to. direct the Unioa armies to shoot them on the
bfttila-firid, lest, in bo daiisg, they should interfere with
slavery ? I presume the Senator would do none ef these
things. Neither Congress nor the General Government
can do anything directly for the purpose of interfering
with slavery in the States. This 1 admit to its fullest
extent; but Congress may and ought to provide for the
punishment of crimes committed against the laws of the
Union * it may and ought to provide for tho oupproooion
of rebellion; and if iu doing this slavery suffers, or iB
interfered with, it is not the Government which makes
the interference, but they who violate the laws and war
against the Government. So, if any slave shall ever ob
tain his freedom under this bill, it wi!l:oe in consequence
of the ootsof his rebel mooter i audlam not aware that
the Republican party ever pledged itself not to allow the
owners of slaves to make them free.

Pui r,ADELi’iriA, March 51,1862.
Professors JJollks and Adams, 1220 Walnut street.
GEKTy.' The remarkable cum which I have derived
from your method of applying ELECTRICITY, compels
me to thus acknowledge the great obligations I am un
der to you for snatching me, as it were, from au imme
diate death. About two years ago, while a resident of
Cincinnati, Ohio,' I was visited with an attack of para
lysis of tlio lower extremities f which rendered mo almost
entirety unable to stand upon my limb?. I employed
some of the most celebrated physicians to be found in
that section, but received no apparent benefit, and after
a lapse of about eighteen months was taken with a
spasm, which one of my physicians pronounced a fit of
apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from that time before I
became the least conscious of anything that ha-1 trans
pired, nor could i concentrate my mind or converse upon
any subject without becoming very visionary and ex
cittd, until I placed myself under your valuable treat
ment.
While in Ohio, and after my friends, my family, and
myself had forsaken all hopes of my improvement or re
covery, my wife proposed that a visit to the East might
possibly benefit me, and after consulting with our phy
sician on the subject, obtained his consent and approval.
After my arrival in Philadelphia my attention was called
to your treatment by a pamphlet banded me by my
father, which contained the names of some gentlemen
whom I bad been formerly acquainted with, and whoa#
Btutements I could rely upon. I immediately made up
my mind to place myself under your treatment. I have
now been the recipient of four treatments, and I now
feel perfectly satisfied that I am restored to a sound con
dition, and I therefore fool it my duty to gratefully
acknowledge the bonelits which I have recoived through
your treatment.
Very respectfully, yonrs, Ac.,

COPY-RIGHT SECURED.
Prepared only from the Original Prescription of the late
PROFESSOR MUTTER.
AT FREDERICK BROWN’S,
Northeast corner of FIFTH and CHESTNUT Streets
Philadelphia.
This Remedy Is a safe and simple preparation from the
receipt of the late distinguished Professor Mutter, with
whom it was a favorite proscription. That he used it in
his extensive practice, insures to the timid a certain
proof of Its pure and innoxious elements, and to those
-Who know bis character for skill and careful aitentiou,
to prescribe only such remedial agents as should secure
restoration without producing subsequent evil, it will be
welcomed as a real good. Under the guidance of a Phy
sician (to whom its combination will unhesitatingly be
made known), it will always be found very beneficial,
and in coses whore a medical adviser is not at hand, It
may be used with safety, according to the directions, in
all cases of short or long duration. For Bale at

CAPSULES
PUKE COD-LIVER OIL.
The repugnance of most patients to COD-LIVBB
OIL, and the inability of many to take it at all, has in
duced various forms tof disguise for its administration
that are familiar to the Medical Profession. Some of
thorn answer in Hpecial cases, but more often tholvehicto
neutralises the usual effect of the Oil, proving quite as
unpalatable and of less therapeutic value. The repug
nance, nausea, Ac., to invalids, induced by disgust of the
Oil, is entirely obviated by the use of our CAPSULES.
OOD-LIVKB OIL CAPSULES have been much used
lately in Europe, the experience thore or the goodwe
suite from their use in both hospital and private practice,
aside from the naturally suggested advantages, are suf
ficient to warrant our claiming the virtues we do for
them, feeling assured their use will result In benefit and
deserved favor. Prepared by
