MERRELL Kiur.n. p. cleabfield.pa:; APRIL I S, 1 S6(t; EEMAEKS 01 SENATOR TBTJMBULL, o.t rnc CIVIL HIGHTS BILL- In the U. 8. Senate, on April 4th, 186. The. Veto MiWfcage btiiu taken up, 'r. Trumbull said : 3Ir. Tbesidext : I fully share with the ;resident of the Uuitcd States in the ' re gret expressed that he is unable to sijin the bill to protect all persons in the ITnired States in their civil rights and to furnish the means of their vindication. I regret it on my own account,, because of the disap pointment, because the just expectations raised when tlm mil was presented to thn President, before its introduction into the Senate, have been disappointed. 1 srret it on the President's account, teeause it is calculated to alienate hini from those who elevated him io power, and who gladly- have rallied around his administration to sustain urn in the princinlea UDon which he wsis eiected.- But above all. Sir. I reirret it tor iberty's sake, to secure which to ourah-ps and . our posterity . this Government was founded. But if the bill is unconstitutional and unjust to the whole people, I would not have had the President sign it. That its provisions are neither unjust to the whole, nor any portion of the people, nor unenn htitutional, I shall endeavor to stow by a candid and dispassionate review ami exami- ,.t .U l :j j : - nation of the President's various objections. ne oegius tuese oojections witn the very first lines of the bill, which declare that ail persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreisrii power, except Indi-, ans not tax d. are decLiftd citizens of the United State- The biil. as ri.'iriallv in troduced, did not contain this provide... It was believed by myself and tn: r,r others, that all native-born persons. finee"the abo lition of Slavery, .v ere citizens of the United -Mates. IhLs was the offifial opinion of Mr. Bates, the Attorney-General of Mr. Lin coln's administration the opiuinn adoutid by his administration, aud acted upon since by all the departments of the Lxecutive fxiivernment, including the Secretary of Mate, wno has issued passports to persons of color, recognizing them as citizens.. It was Ihe opinion expressed y Mr. Marcy, wnen secretary oi otate, that all persons born in the United States were citizens of the United States ; not referring, of course, to slaves, Slavery at that time existing, in the country. , The President does not object to this declaration in the bill as unconstitu tional. lie does, however,-say that it docs not purport to declare or confer any other right of citfzenship than Federal citizen ship. It does not purport, he says, to give these classes of persons any - status as citi zens of States, except that which may re- suit trotn their status as citizens ot the Li -nited States. The power, he adds, to con fer the right of State citizenship is just as exclusively with the xeveral States as the power to declare the right of rederal citi zenship is with CoiigrefS. Now, since we all know that no State has the authority to make a citizen of the United States, the Constitution of the United States rests with Congress the sole power of naturalization, and it may make a citizen of a foreigner ; but no $tate can make a citizens of tne U nited States of a foreigner. But, is it true, Sir, that when a person becomes a citizen of the United State;., that he is not also a citizen of the State where he may be re siding? Ou this point I will refer to a de cision prououueed by the Supreme Court of the United States, delivered by Chief J ustice Marshall,. the most eminent jurist who ever sat upon the American btjrieh. In ihe case of Gasse agaiust liallow, reported in the sixth volume of Peters' s Reports, the Chief J ustice, in delivering the opinion of the Court, says: "The defendant in error is alleged, in the proceedings, to be a citizen o th: United States, naturalized in Louisi ana, and residing there. This is equivalent to an averment that he is a citizen of that St4tc. A citizen of the United States, re siding in any State of the Union, is a citi zen of that State. ' ' This was t he only point in the case. This is the 'opinion, of the highest tribunal in the country, pronounced by the most eminent man who ever sat upon the bench in America. Mr. Johnson Will the Senar give me the page? '., ', ""'.'', , . " Mr. . Trumbull Page TGI. But, Sir, unles this authority is to be disregarded, the President of the Uuited States is mis taken in his law. . It is not true that when a man is made a citizen of the UnkodSta.es he is not a citizen of every . State. The President next alleges that the right of Fed eral citizenship, thus to be conferred on the several excepted races before mentioned, is now for the first time proposed to be given by law. Aow, Sir, this is a mistake not of the law, but a misapprehension of fact and it will appear by reference-., to which I shall call the attention ol the Senate in a moment, that the President's facts are as bad as hid law. If the Senalor from Mary land (Mr. Johnson) wishes to take a note of the authority, he will find it in Lawrence's Wheaton on International Law, and various statutes of the United States on thissubject. I read from page 897. There have been in the Urtited States several cases of collective naturalization by the annexation of Terri tories. By the third article of the First Convention of Afril 30, 1800, with France, in the cession of Louisiana. it is provided that the inhabitants of the ceded territories to be incorporated into the United .States should be admitted as soon as possible, ac cording to the principles of the Federal Con stitution, to the eniovmcnt of the rights. privileges, and immunities of the citizens of tha United Stts. A provision to the same effect is to be found in the hixth arti il. nf thft treatv with Spain for . the pur chase Of Florida, and of the eighth article of the treaty of 1848 with Mexico; also, bx tbe annexation of Texas, under a resolution of Con-Tress 6f-March.lS45-6,-.its adrnKsiAa into the Union on Itn eq'ual footing with the other .States." "Collective naturalization," says the authority, from which I quote,' "may also take place of a class of persons native of the country, or otherwise, who, vitlimif mu a, nil th i.art of ihe indlVld rials tnatr K -mado. .itlZnS-" In the u- nited States it is incorrect to suppos t..at j aliens, as opposed citizens, imphe foreig ners. As respects the country," Indians aw the subjects of the United States, but they are not therefore citixen-v nor can they be come citizens under the existing naturaliza tion laws; but they can be made citizens by some competent act of the General Govern ment, by treaty, or otherwise. -": ' lir ttteae various treaties, resolutions, and acts of Congress, it will be wbserved that French-aea, -fpani&rds, Mexicans, and Indiana have all bean madecitisens of tha U pi ted States soma of the very classes of persons spoken of ia this bill, and yet tbe President tells us that this right of Fed eral eiusenship, as if there was tuch a thing as Federal eitisenship. as eontra-distiaguished from State eitisenship. - ile tells us that it is now for the first time proposed. to be given by law.. If, says the President, as is claimed by many per sons, all who are native born are already, by vir toe of the Constitution, citisens of the United States, the passage of the pending bill annot be necessary to make them sueb. Well, nuw that is here, sir ; but is the President to learn now for tbe first time tbat principle to be foand in the very home books of the law. that an act declaring what a law ia is one ef the Bict common acts pad by legislative bodies, when there is no question as to what tbe law is. for their greater certainty.it is the most common thing ia tbe world to pas a statute declaring iis object? My opinion is, such wan the opinion of the Attorney' General, and of the preoeut Secretary of State ; such was the opinion of Mr. Lincoln's Adminis tration in all its departments, and such I believe to be tbe prevailing opinion in tha United States, that all native born persors. not subject to for. eign powers, are. by virtue of their birth, citiseas of tue United States. But some dispute this: Ueiior-, for greater certaimy.it it proposed to pass this law,. It is now jnade an objection, to tbe passage of this law, and a reason given by the President why he cannot approve it, became it is ' a declamatory act. ilut u snob is not tbe law. says the President, a grave question present itself: Whether when 11 of the 36 States are un represented In Congress, at tbe present time it ia sou lid policy to make our entire colored popula tion, aim an oiner exoepica population, aud all other excepted classes, citisens of tbe United States. This is a standing objection, not urgad it seems, against all bills, for the President tell us in this ineMage, tbat he baa signed some 40 bills that hare been presented to him. Why is it made an objection to this biil! The President states uo objection as applicable to this particular bill. It is a general objection that be makes ap plicable to all bills. But if tbere is anything in ' it no bill can paw the Cougress of the United stales until theoe States are represented. - Well, -sir. ivbcsc iuult is it th.it the 1 1 States are not rep reentd f Whose fault is it that 2j loyal htti. which have stood by the Union aed the Constitu tion, are to be deprived of their right to legi.late" Sir. it is not tbe fault of the 2i loyal States, aud ' if tbe rea-vu urged by tbe President is a good one now. it has been a good one for all time If tbe fact u( s,iiie Slates having rebelled againet the Government is to take from tbe Government' the right to legislate, whs; ,ir,tien the criminal i to take advantage of his crime, and tha innocent are to be punished for the guilty. , Within a few days tbe President has issued a proclamation, not of peace, as tbe Senator from Nevada (Mr. Stew art) seems to suppose ; by no means. Not a proc lamation that the Rebellion is over, but that ' in cerriui) rotates it is over. The President does net tell us that Texas, one of the States tbat were in rebellion, is in a condition to be represented here Sir, if we had to wait for the eleven States, must we not, wait for Texas'. The same principle would require us to wait for Texas, and she has not yet reorganised her State Government. And those States wbich have reorganised bav not yet been recognized as having a republican ' form of government rn'itling them to representatives. The representatives they have chosen from mast' of those States tbat have undertaken to ree.rgaa ite are persons frebh from the Kebel army, men who could not be admitted here could aot take the requisite eat h to entitle them to their seats; and are we to wait, and to abstain from al 1 legis lation of a general character ? Are the loyal peo ple of' this country to be compelled to wait for B cessary leg illation until these States shall be ad mitted to-representation- here, when they refuse to send men here, except those whose bauds are dripping with tbe blood of loyal men ? - Are tha Vice President of the Kebcl Confederacy and hie colleague, one of tbe Senators in the Rebel Con gress, to ootae here and legislate for tbe loyal peo ple of thiscountry ? ' Arethe men who organised' the Government tbat carried on four year's war. as tbe result of which this nation has had to spend more than four thousand dlillions of dol lars, and as a consequenoe of which, more than a quarter of a million of men patriotic heroes have laid down their lives upon the battle-field, and in the hospitnl ? Are tnese iun to oome here to legislate for tbe loyal people of this coun try ? Sir. ibeve HUtcs can only be represetited through State organization. All members of this body can only be elected by htate Legislatures Members of the other House fan only be ele.'ted in pursuance of State laws. Henoe, as prelimin ary to any representation in either House ef Congress, it must be; determined whether t tiers is a State Government, whether there is a State Legislature having authority to eleet Senators and having authority to provide laws under wbich representatives may be elected There was a time, certainly, when tbere was no sueb legislature in any of the eleven States. There' was a time when the onl v kind of Government i f any of them was hostile to the United Stales and1 sworn allegiance to a government Hostile to this. Will anybody pretend tbat while a State Govera nicnt was in their hands it waseutitled torepre seutatiou in either House of Congress. .: (f net. thal I we not inquire whether it has got oat of those hands iuto tbe bands of loyal men? Sir. the propoait.ou that no bill is to be panted be cause certain States are unrepresented when it i their -own fault that they are unrepresented, would be utterly destructive of the Government. But tbe rtetiident. tells us that the bill in effeet proposes to discriminate against large numbers of intelligent, worthy and patriotic foreigners and in favor of the negro. Now. sir. that true '. What is tbe bill. Why it declares that there shall be no distinction inciril rights between any other race or color and tbe white race It de clares tbat there shall be no differentpflii.tr meat inflicted on a colored man in consequence of bis coot than that which is mtficted on a white man for tha same offense. Is that a dis crimination in favor of the negro and against tbe foreigner in a bill, the only object of wbich is to preserve equality of rights? Ilut perhaps it would be replied to this that the bill proposes to make acitizen of any person born in the United States, and therefore it diseriminated in that re spect against tha foreigners. But, Mr. President, is not a white child who ia born in the United States a citizen ? Is it not to be presumed tbat there is a discrimination here in favor of the white infant, who is a citizen the moment of its birth, and against the worthy, intelligent and pa triotic foreigner who emigrated to this country ; and, as suggested by a Senator behind me. even the child ot a foreigner tbe infant child of a foreigner born in this land, is a oitizen long be fore its father Tbe President also has an objec tion to making citizens of Chinese and Gipsies. I am told that but few Chinese are born in this eouulry. and wbeie the Gipsies are born I cannot tell. Like Topsy. it is questionable, for tbey were not born at all. but just oome. Laughter. But Mr. President, perhaps the best answer to this objection, that the bill proposes to make cit izens of v'biuese and Gipsies, and this reference to foreigners, is to be found in a speech deliver ed in this body, by a Senator occupying, I th-rnk. the seat now o-joupied across the chamber by nsy friend from Oregon (Mr. Williams) less tba years ago, in reply to a veto message sent to this body by Mr. Buchanan, the their President of the United Statea, returning with his obeot-na what was known as the Homestead Bill. On thatoe casion t ie Senator to whom I allude tw said : ' Mr StJ-iMER What Senator was it T Laughter. Mb TRPBri- eaia: --iov wei aooui poor foreigners, somehow . other, appears to haunt the imagination of a good many, I am constrained to say (says -th Senator alluded to) that I look upon this objection to the bill as a mere quibble on the'part of the President, and as being nard pressed for some excuse for withhold ing bis approval of the measure. His allusion to tbe foreigners in this connection looks to ma more like ad taptandum of tha mere politician or dem agogs ge than a grave and sound reason to be offered by the President of tbe UnitC-StotM in a veto' message upon soionjutant a ieasr as the Homestead Bill. ,-, ---V u Mr. SctnR Who was Use Senator?
