Gentlemen have attempted to justify these proceedings by the declaration ol martial Uw. Now, if the declaration of martial law necessarily involves ih sus pension of the ticit laws ol a country, it is cleat that none but the aovareign power of a country can estibtieh it. In tne present case, Congreis bad not exercised h power tested in it by the Constitution ol suspending the wiit ol h beat torput when the public eafsty may requite ii. and the legislature ol Iton'siai-a had reluaed to do it. In point of fact, then, in.r ial law. in the sense in winch these words ar used, was not established.
