were all alike very highly pleased with It, and the

. - 1 "- " .'- NATIONALITY. V ' '
The British Government acknowledged the inde
pendenoe and separatesovereignty of tbe States form
ing the Amerlcau Union in 1788. This was . done in
I a form' that rendered-it unequi vocal j i. e.- by naming
teach State separately. This was as ample a recogni
tion of the separate sovereignty of the States as tho
greatest advocate of State sovereignty could have de
sired. Nationality followed necessarily from the adop
tion of that form of Government called a Confedera
cy. It did not owe Its force and virtue to any foreign
acknowledgment. It lowed neceeearlly, as we have
aald, from I the act- of "creating a government, "of
whatever form . adopted. It is an Incident of this
right that the power tbat-cfeates pan destroy, and that
foreign States have nothing to do- wish the right, bat
simply with v the fact, that there' baa been & change,
whether to ''create, modify or destroyj
. If instead of thirteen States that formed a Confede
recy there had been -three "or yfour XJpafederacies, na
tionallfy would have attached to each Confederacy,
for precisely the same reason that is attached to one
composed of thirteen States ; of, to put a stronger
caafl. If Rhode Island had formed a separate govern
ment, natiooallsy would have bolosged as much to
hor as the other twelve Skates , who .would, la such a
case, have oonstltated the Arnarlcan Union. Tho
same right to undo their work of forming a Gmfode
racy as to create one," whether by mutual consent or
by force, Inheres to all Confederations, aud is an inhe
rent right of State so verdguty. It is a logical cpnclu-
.,sion, from these premises, that this right is invadod
whon frrfticn natinrin nndnrtake'tn divost a C!nn ffiJfarn-
cy, no matter how formed, of tW privilege, that be-
lotrgar cf -iafccts?C2C2itM form-
ing diplomatic relations in common with other coun
tries. . .:V v.;.;.' . : ;j- ' -:-;v': :
But it is more than the deprivation of a prifilego
when such relations are, denied. The moral influence
is highly prejudicial. The refusal 4io receive a reprej
sentatlve from tho Confederate. State at ither of the
European Courts Is $ tacit admission of the Yankee
assumption! that these States are In a condition of re
bellion, and that secession Is Illegal. .It is tantamount.
to deciding; the question of right.
The contesting parties have .been pronouncetl to bo
belligerents , and to have equal r ights as belli geren ts.
Why should equal diplomatic privileges be excluded
from tho rlghtB of belligerency ? ' If one of the helllg-
erenta ia not to receive more aid in money or the ma-
terlal ol war than thefother, wby should not this rule
of equality be so extended as i to embrace diplomacy
as well fas war tho protection of the Interest at for-
elgn courts of one belllgerout as well as the other ?
Can anything be Bhown iiv;the reason of things why
this should not bo so?
The Law of Nations ia very defective,-not only as
regards the-period when the revolt of States confers
the right of nationality, "tinder a consolidated govern-'
tcfent, but tho duties! of neutral nations, when, uudjer
a confederated system, it is dinsofyed and new asso
ciations of States take placet . I - : '
Ia recognition an appropriate t?erm when the right
to a national status and name Is inherent, and belongs
to the mere fact that majority .'of 'the people of a
State have docidetl the question of; nationality for itself?-
And is not tha, 'smallest State or -themllcst
Confederacy as fully entitled to the, privilege) as the
i largest?
l hle terra recognition seems to imply the
instlce of. the nretentilon of foreign nations
maaing
themselves judges both of the right and the fact. '
