How is he to determine the been disappointed; and all men who allow title to that negro? Suppose,. Mr. President, false elements to enter into their calcula you were to go into his camp, and nay r tions at the stArt will be deceived in like *'Sir, here is my negro; IJwant him.’ The | manner. 1 agree that if all men were obvious answer of the'general is: “My Puritans, that if ail men appreciated lib dear sir, that may be all true; 1 have no erty as we do and as our race does, then desire to raise any issues of fact with you; - we might extend it toall men; but to ex it may be that this is your negro; but I tend it to men who have neappreciation of cannot determine that question; I cannot i it—who would trample the boon under foot try the title to him; lam not a court; I : when granted them—to such men it is u am nota jury'—a great .many of them, in- mischief rather than a blessing, deed, are not oven lawyers.

What then? j long as.there is,any doubt the safe rule is 1 would say to him: “No; yon cannot do that of silence, that, because that presumes that I decide The resolution was agreed to. the very question which lam incompetent ~ to decide. I cannot allow you to usp force here, because lam the constable of the na- - tion, and I am the repository of its force in this behalf, and you cannot use it." That is the objection to all that. I take it the president of the confederate States of America, if there be such an upon the earth,-himsalf.could not object to that on the part of our generals. Nobody can object to it. In the same way with regard to the con fiscation of the negro; I do not 9ee any dif ficulty there. Ido not see anything t£at wo have to do with the thing in theAvorld. I take it, in the first place, that it is' an ab surdity to talk about the Government of the United 6totes confiscating a negro. •When property is-confiseated by the laws of war it is taken from the owner, is convert ed into monoy. if yon please, and the.pro ceeds put into the fisc or treasury. Now, whenever you commence this operation on a negro slave, . yon arrive immediately at an absurd conclusion. You attempt to'take him from his owner, you cannot own him ; you cannot convert him into money; and you cannot put him into the fiSc or treasury. There is no use in talking about it; all you can do with him when you seize him is to emancipate him if you please. i have spoken of the negro considered as a man; now, suppose you consider him as property. There are people in rebellion against the Union, people whom we have a right to consider not only in the light of citizous who have violated their allegiance to the country, but as alien enemies. Very, well, then, negroes are their property. By the laws of war, we hqv c aright to take all the property of alien enemies. That is only I limited fay such, restraints ashave been put upon that right of ours by the lawß of humanity and civilization. We have that right already; and, as I take it, that right is not in the hands of Congress, but in the hands of the Executive—in the hands of the President, who is the Commander-in- Chiof of the Army. 1 would, therefore, think it improper to legislate even upon thataubjooU--utterly unnecessary. I should loek upon any statute—and I have always looked upon any statute by Congress upon that subject—in the light of a restraining rather than am. enlarging statute. When you have absoluto authority to do a thing by the laws of war, under which the Com lnttuder-in-Chief of an army always acts as against his enemy, under no restraints whatever, other than those I have mentioned —those of humanity and civilization, where is the necessity of attempting to put it upon your statute-book? 1 should as soon think of re-enacting. Vattel or Grotius or Puffendorf, or any other of the writers upon the laws of nations, who have laid down the rules for their regulation In times j?f war. If the generals of our armies have a right to take the property of rebels in their efforts to put down the rebellion, if that should be deemed prudent iu order to facilitate Lhat operation, they have ample authority by the laws of war; and thorp is no need on our part of any mis chievous enactments here which may pot be properly understood in the county. There is no necessity for distinguishing' as to any species of property; and it might, perhaps be as'well to. distinguish between horscs and mules, between oxen and asses, between sheep and hogs, as to distinguish between this especial kind of property that which is alleged to existin slaves knd that which is alleged to exist-in, any pther.
