That this commonwealth does admit te migration of ailen friends described J -as the subject of the; said .act 'concerning aliens that a provision against prohibiting 1 'theirjmigrationj is a provision against all acts equiva jlerit thereto j or it would be nugatory ; that to- re movi them when migratedis equivalent to a prohi- bitioii of the migration, antl is, therelore, conirarj to the shid provision of the Constitution, and void tiARcsolced. That the imprisonment of a person unddr ithe protection of the laws of this' common-, wealth on: his failure to' obey the simple order of the President, to depart out of. the' United States, as is undertakan by the said - act,. entitled, " An act con cerning aliens," is contrary to the Constitution,' one amendment -in-which has provided, that " no person shall be deprived of their liberty without.due process -nf lakvl" and that another having ' provided " that in "1 ? . : . - ' , t ,i it. . alrcriminal prosecutions, the accused sna u enjoy tne ricA nf a nnh ic tria hv an impartial lurv, 10 oe m- foraiied as to the nature and cause'of the accu: Viv ttio eiisniPinhS (' .lo.m.miKi n his or their elections or other interest, public or personal ; that the friendless ahan has been selected. as the safest subject of a first experiment, but the citizen will soon follow, or rather has already fol lowed; for, already has a' sedition act marked him as w,'. Thaf .thpsp and successive acts of the same character, unless arrested on the threshhold may tend to drive these States into revolution and blood, and .;n fiivnicV tipw ealnmnies against republican gov- montc and npw Tire:texts for those who wish it to JTl UllIVlll-Vi, ai.v. X -m -1 I ! rt be believed, that man cannot be governed but by a rod of iron ; that would be a dangerous aeiusiou a confidence in the men of our choice to snence our fears for the safety of our right's;, that confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism, free, government i founded in iealousy and not in confidence ; it is the. jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited, constitution ;to bind down those -whom we , are obliged to trust with power that our .constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to ( which and ,no further our confidence may go; and let the hones advocates of confidence read the alien and sedition acts, and say if the constitution has not been wise in fixing limits to the governments it, created, and whether we should be wise in destroying those limits ? Lebhitn say what i .if it, be not a tyranny:' which the men of our choice' have conferred on the President and the President of our choice has assented to and accepted over the. friendly strangers, to whom the "mild, spirit of , our country and its laws have pledged hospitality, and protecnon ; tnat uic men have more respected the bare suspicions of the Presi dent than the solid rights of innocence, the claims of justification, the sacred force of truth, and the forms and substance of law and justice-. ;' -.. , - In questions of power-then let no more be said of confidence in man; but b'ifid him down from mischief by the chains of the' Constitution. Tha t this cpmmpnT w:ealth does therefore ca.ll on its co-States for an ex pression of their sentiments on the acts concerning aliens, and for the punishment of certain crimps here inbefore specified .-plainly declaring whereby these acte 'arc or fire not; authorized by the federal compact. And it doubts not that their sense' will be so announced as to prove their attachment to .limited government,- rWW'-rpiPMl or narticular.and that tne rignisanu liberties of. their co-States will be exposed to no dan gers by remaining embarked, on a common bottom : : with their own. But they will concur with this com monwealth in' considering the said acts as so palpably against the .Constitution . as to amount to an undis-. cruised declaration, that the compact is not meant to I be the measure of the power of the General Govern 1 ment, hut 1 that it' will . proceed in the exercise oyer these Stated of all powers whatsoever. That they will ' view this as seizing the rights of the States and consol idating them in the hands of the General Government, with a power assumed to bind the States (not merely hieases made, federal) but in all cases Whatsoever, by laws made. not. with their' consent, but by others against their consent; and this would be to surrender the form of government we have oSen, and live un der one deriving its powers from its will, and not from our authority; and that the co-States recurring to their natural rights not made federal, will concur in declar ing these void and of no. force, and will caclvunitewith this commonwealth in requesting their repeal at the next session of Congress. - - Uxa,j . - r . !Jy - .
