Book Synopsis Property in Territories (Classic Reprint) by : J. M. Mason
Download or read book Property in Territories (Classic Reprint) written by J. M. Mason and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Property in Territories The honorable Senator from Illinois, (Mr. Douglas, ) to whom I listened with great interest and respect during the last two days of the session, has presented his views, not only elaborately, but with great strength and power, upon this very question of the relations between the Territories and the States - views from which I differ totally - views which, if correct and carried into effect, must rend asunder existing party alliances and bring the southern States to separate organization. They involve, of necessity, a discussion upon, a minute inquiry into, and a thorough understanding of, the relation which the occupants of a Territory bear to the States of the Union; because a Territory, I believe all admit, is a common property, belonging just as much to one State as to any other; in which all have equal rights, and in which the Constitution requires that the rights of all shall be equally respected. Nor is it abstract; because the very question has arisen before the country, and is now depending in the legislation upon your table. It involves the constitutional control of the States of the Union acting through the Federal Government upon the Territories - a great principle - a control affirmed on one side, and directly disaffirmed on the other. Now, what is it? The territorial, or organic law, as it is called, is a law passed by the Congress of the United States organizing a government in a Territory. The character of the organization; the powers that are conferred upon the people of the Territory, and those that are withheld from them; the mode in which they are exercised, are all necessarily expressed in that organic law. Some fifteen years ago, it was claimed, by a majority in both Houses of Congress, that, in passing a law creating and establishing government in the Territories, Congress had the power to create a disparity between the States of the Union; that Congress had the power to declare that one condition of society belonging to certain States of the Union - that of African bondage - should not go into the Territories. Congress asserted that power as a constitutional right. It is known in popular acceptation as the Wilmot proviso - the interdict denounced by Congress in the organic law of the Territories against the admission of African bondage into the Territories. It was resisted to the best of their ability, and in the sternest manner, by the States interested. They were overruled. According to my recollection, in more than one instance, certainly in organizing the Territory of Oregon, that interdict was put in the law. The southern States were deeply moved. They felt not only that they were aggrieved, but that the compact which they had entered into with the other States had been violated to their wrong. There was hardly a Legislature, if any, in the southern States that did not express the sentiment of their people on this violation, as they considered, of the great compact between the States - the Constitution. It resulted that men took counsel together. In the year 1850, when it became necessary to organize new Territories, arising from the acquisitions obtained at the close of the Mexican war, a series of measures were projected in the Senate affecting this condition of society, African bondage, in various forms, and were blended together in one bill, including the organization of the new Territories, which was termed by its friends a great measure of compromise. I do not mean to go further into that history than to exhibit its results. The bill failed to pass; and those various measures were enacted separately, in various forms. They passed, however, by the general term of compromise measures, I was one of those, occupying a seat in this body, who disapproved of many of those measures, and voted against them. They were passed, however. In that legislation, a new feature was introduced in the laws organizing territorial governments.
Book Synopsis On the Government of the Territories by : Durbin Ward

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Government of the Territories: The Constitutional Power of the General Government and the People in the Federal Territories Another claim for this power of intervention has been set up through the medium of the Judicial Tribunals. It. Is said that the Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case, having declared slaves to be property, (a proposition never denied by a lawyer, ) the Constitution protects property in the Territories. Grant it; but the Constitution does not create property, nor determine what property is. Nor does the Constitution extend more protection to property in the Territories than in the States. If, then, the right of property enables, by virtue of the Constitution, a mas ter to carry his slave into a Territory and be protected against the local law, it equally enables him to carry such slave into a State, and be protected there against the local Constitution or laws of the State; for the Federal Constitution is the Supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Constitution then enables Congress to protect slaves when carried into a Territory because they are property, it equally enables that body, for the same reason, to protect them when carried into any State. The pro perty in the slave is the creature of some law or legal recogni tion of the State from which he came, and if this property is pro tected against the local law of prohibition in one place it must be in another: or else the Constitution has greater force in one part of the land over which it is the supreme law than in another. But the inference drawn from the Dred Scott case is not justified by the case itself, and it need be referred to no further.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws of the Northwest Territory: 1788-1800 TO understand the laws of the Northwest Territory for the period when Illinois was a part of it, one must know both the situation they were framed to meet and how that situation had come about. At the close of the French régime small French settlements were scattered through the western part of the region. The more important were along the Illinois bank of the Mississippi some forty miles south from the mouth of the Missouri, at Vincennes and the present Lafayette, Indiana, at Detroit, at Mackinac, and at Green Bay. The contest between France and Great Britain for the upper Ohio valley had led to the war of 1756 - 1763; and England's triumph had given her all her rival's possessions east of the Mississippi.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Just Supremacy of Congress Over the Territories We shall begin what we have to say upon this subject with the free admission, that there are a good many elements Of popularity both in Mr. Douglas's character and in his present position. The public man who presents himself as an advocate for the right of self-government for any people, however they are situated, will always command popular sympathy in this country. But we are not now concerned with Mr. Douglas's chances or means of political success, but with the soundness and correctness of his constitutional Opinions. Whether he is or is not of that order Of men who would rather be right than be President, we do not presume to decide; but we are sure for ourselves, that, having no personal interest in the matter, we would rather be right than be able to prevent him or any other man from reaching the Presidency, if we had the power of all the nominating conventions or of all the voters in the land. It is the purpose of Mr. Douglas's article to maintain, that the people Of a Territory have the right to decide, independently of the will Of Congress, whether the institution Of slavery shall or shall not exist among them while they are in the Territorial condition. On a cursory reading of his paper, we were a little at a loss to determine whether he meant to be understood that this power belongs to the people of a Territory because the organic act bestows upon them general legisla tive power, or, as in the case of Kansas, declares that they shall be free to form their own institutions in their own way; or whether he holds that the people of a Territory are originally free to establish or prohibit slavery without any Congressional declaration or grant of such a power, or even against a Congressional prohibition. But, on a more careful perusal, we find that his argument goes the entire length Of maintaining, that, in reference to what he calls their local concerns and internal polity, the people of a Territory are absolutely sovereign in the same sense in which the people of a State are sovereign. In order to establish what he calls popular sovereignty in the Territories, Mr. Douglas undertakes to define the dividing line between federal and local authority; and he places it, in respect to the Territories, substan tially where it is in respect to the States. He sums up the whole dis cassion in the following principle, that every distinct politicalcommunity, loyal to the Constitution and the Union, is entitled to all the rights, privileges, and immunities of self-government in respect to their local concerns and internal polity, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.

This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws and Courts of the Northwest and Indiana Territories Goinothe circuit IN early times. Little can now be gathered beyond the technical recitals of the records to show how, or by what sort of men, the laws were made and administered. It is certain, however, that everything beyond the law itself partook Of the primitive character of the times. Congress passed an act in 1792 allowing two of the judges their expenses in sending an express and in purchasing a boat to go the circuit. Judge Bur net, a lawyer and leading member of the first general as sembly, and afterwards a distinguished judge in Ohio, tells us how the judges and lawyers went the circuit about the year 1801. They generally traveled five or six in company, with a pack-horse to carry baggage and provisions. And were sometimes eight or ten days in the wilderness. There were no bridges and but few ferries. And they were obliged to swim their horses across the streams. In returning from General Court at Marietta to Cincinnati, upon one occasion, the judge was compelled to swim his horse across five different streams. He adds, that one of the chief requisites Of a horse in those days was that he should be a good swimmer.' One of the judges - Judge Parsons - was drowned in 1789 in attempt ing to cross a creek.'
