having cotrfirmed this tight of property

it away from him without an adequate

the House to point me, a principle re
cognised by the law, -even in the or
dinary course of adjudications, where
the community pays for the property,
which is removed or destroyed, because
itis a nuisance and injurious to society."

who offers compensation to the loyal
slaveholding B s iates, and only enfran
chises unqualifiedly the slaves of the
