WHAT THE FATHERS THOUGHT
In support of the doctrine that
congress has power to provide such
laws for our territories as may be
b deemed fit; that the constitution
does not 'run" in them and never
did "run" till congress brought it
there; that congress, therefore, is not
restrained by the constitution from
passing any tariff laws for the gov
ernment of Puerto Rico it mry
consider applicable to existing con
ditions, and that the founders of our
government never did consider cong-
ress so restrained, The Chiionicle
submits the foll6wing facts of history :
By the act of March 26, 1804, for
the government of the district of
Louisiana, all power executive,
judicial and legislative was lodged
in one person, in the governor of the
territory, a thing impossible in any
place where the constitution is in
force. The act of March 3, 1805,
for the government of the same
territory, reads:
"The legislative power shall be
vested in the governor and in tbi '-e
judges or a majority of them, who
shall have power to establish, inferior
courts in the said icrrito.y and n r
scribe their jurisdiction and duties
and to make all laws which they rray
deem conducive to thegocd ,ove..i
ment of the inhabitants thereof."
Could that have been done under
the constitution? If the constitution
"ran" in the territory how was it
possible to combine in the same
persons the power to make laws, to
adjudicate laws and to execute laws?
And let it not be forgotten that this
yt&a done in this case under no less a
leadership than Thomas Jefferson,
author of the declaration of inde
pendencc. There is no part of the constitution
better known than that which pro
vides for trial by jury in all cases
involving more than $20. Yet in
two provisions of the acts already
referred to, the language of which is
identical in each act, the right of
trial by juiy was limited to $100,
notwithstanding that the seventh
amendment to the constitution that
fixed the sum at $20 hud been
adopted some years before. Thus
those who helped to make the con
stitution, and who assisted in the
adoption of the seventh amendment
said that a jury could only be de.
manded in Louisiana in cases where
in $100 was involved. Is it not
clear as sunlight that theso men be
lieved that when legislating for ter
ritory belonging to the United Slates
they were not limited by the pro
visions of the constitution?
Once more. Congress in Morch 3,
1821, passed a law for the govern
ment of the territory of Florida,
vesting all military, civil nnd judicial
power in such person or persons as
the president should direct. Under
tbe authority of this aot President
Monroe appointed Andrew Jackson
governor. The only laws that bad
then been extended by congress over
Florida were the revenue laws and
those forbidding the importation of
pcuplo of color. A federal judge,
Elcgius Frouicntin by name, was
"authorized and empowered to ful
fill the duties of his office according
to tho constitution nnd laws of the
United States." In the exercise of
his authority Governor Jackson came
in sonfltct with the Spanish cx-gov
crnor of the territory over the
question of the possession of some
papers rolating to the title to land.
Jackson put the ex-governor in jail,
had bis house searched and took the
papers. The cx-govcrnor applied to
the federal judge for a writ of habeas
corpus and the judge, believimj in
the newly resurrected hercsay that
the constitution, of its own force,
follows the flag, granted the writ.
But that did not release the ex
governor. Jackson, who was legis
lator, judiciary and executive all in
one for the constitution, we repeat,
did not "run" of itself in American
territory m those days cited the
judge to appear before him and
answer for "open contempt of the
orders and degrees made by me," as
the citation read. The controversy
was finally submitted to President
Monroe and the president, by John
Quincy Adams, secretary of state,
informed the judge that his com
mission applied only to the two laws
extended by congress; that the presi
dent "thought the authority of cong
ress alone competent to extend other
laws to the newly-scquired tcnitor
ies" and that he "could not give to
the judge n jurisdiction that could
only bo conferred by them." The
judge's explanation of Governor
Jackson's position ought to be inter
esting reading for end-of-thoeeuturj
disciples of Old Hickory. Writing
to Adams, Judge Fromcntin said:
"But again, says General Jackson,
the writ of habeas coi,jjs is no ex
tended by law to this lerritory, and
I must confine mv&e'f to the jurisdic
tion given by the act of congress in
ilie only two cases mentioned in the
act, to-wit: the revenue '-.ws and the
importation of people of color."
This is what Andrew Jackson
thought and President Monroe de
cided the controversy in harmony
with Jackson's contention, and Tin:
CiinoxiCLi: submits it in nil candor,
as good, sound democratic doctrine
that modern Democrats and alas!
that we should havo to say it not
a few Republicans, through ignorance
or for political reasons or both, have
abandoned for a doctrine that we
supposed had been shot to death inthe
civil war.
So fully did the Democratic legis
lators of Andrew Jackson's day rec
ognize the laws he had passed in his
legislative capacity for the territory
of Florida all lextra.coustitutional
as they were it took an act of
congress to repeal some of them that
were found objectionable to that
body! Let us charitably hope that
certain Democratic and Republican
editors arc unwittingly but not will-
lully ignorant of these things. A
little knowledge would stop their
senseless rant about the monorchia!
and imperialistic tendencies of the
administration and its supporters.
