The law ot March 3, 1815, was "an act further to provide for the collection of duties on imports and tonnage." The law of March J, 1S33, was "an act tuither to provide .for the collection ofthe duties on imports. ' The case of Wet lut bts vs. Johnnon, it others, 10 JliSi. AY).

Might not congrcfS as clearly re peal or abolish a Stato law creating an offence, and forbidden by the fed eral (institution, as to dictate to such Stato the mode or piace of trial such oll'eiise Would they ran have Iho sumo, power to measure and lix the punishment of cr iue under a State i or to enact a co le of evidence or ni'.'ictice. for its i roscculion. as to ! enact the ioruni tor its trials 11 is ... ..'. clear to .my mind, that tho sever . ign eginlativo power ol a Stato has just as exclusive lurisdictiuu over the Io runi, us they have the the exclusive constitutional power to declare wl ut shall be the crime itself. And il the congress ofthe Udited StuLs have no constitutional power to modify, abol ish, or repeal t.u; law ol a State, crea ting the crime, it is a logical deduc tion, in my opinion, from which there is no escape, tiiat they aie equally powerless in changing the forum of trial ol sucii crane ; unless the wrong unless tli lul act cnargcel grows out ol the cxe cutiou of, or is connected at tho tuna with some law of the United States In su'-h case, tlure exists a coucurii nt ; jurisdiction over the. subject, and oija ihu two, the inferior must yield to the uuperior jurisdiction, upon a ques of undisputed sovereignty, where a demand is made for a trans ler ol the junsd.':tion. ducu were the cases winch arose under the acts of congress ol 1S15 and 1S33. The alleged wrongtui acts done, were com untied urder and by virtue of the au thority of Ihet-e laws. Whether tho acts done by the inspectors and col lectors ofthe customs, were trespass es or not, depended upon the validity ofthe laws wnich they were in the act of executing. It was when such a state of things U3 this occurred, that congioss declared, in and by those statutes, that thu defendants should have a right to the transfer ofthe ca ses tu'Ui ii ut against them in" the State couiti, to the paramount inrisdiction. 1 cannot perceive that tno case of Worcester vs. tho State of Georgia, 5 Peter's Uep. 515, has any appliea1 lion to the question raised upon this! in the case at bar. That a case where a. State law by the Legislature ot Georgia, was in clear i violation of treaties made between the United States end the Cherokee ! nation of Indiana, in which they were' , I pateu:n. Courts, in tho interprota th tion of 1 iws, cannot look into or 6can tho motives which induced their en such acl.-nont, unless they toud to a proper su-tainmont of the law itself 1 think the true interpretation, according to t ic IclthI cacona of cousfuction to lo upon the word "author used in the 5th section ol thrs act, is a proper, let-iil and V om'titutional unthority. it is not to bo presumed, Judicially at Iciiat, that tlio lugislaturo intended ao startlini u proposition a3 to make the nieroit'aa will of tho President, tho 6imple violation of tho individual, a law by which tho liberty ot tho citi.un is to bo re;u!aied and controlled, iu despite of tho clear and explicit guaranties of the Constitution ,n tliut behalf. If this is a proper interpretation of this law, then it is :cUar to my apprehension that the caao at bar does not fall within its provia tilioiier ions. Sotno doubts might also bo en crctiit ?.teitairied at to whether tho retroactive provisions of this law, ao fur as it ap hss plies to criminal prosecutions, are t- be auslaiiud as valid and oblign'oi.i . To that extent it is an ex pout fn, 1 iw : and if sought to bn applied' ti against tho petitioner, would i i J iio pronounced unconstitutional mnl oljbet.voe.n individuals, that, in my opinion, maksa it void, in a civil 'suit betwe .-u A and 13, for damages, H ut any time alter entering his Bp law, poaranco to tho action, upouSling his petition in the Stato Court, statinc s.iine." A law ol the Stato makes it ciimo to "kidnap or forcibly or iraudiilently carry off or decoy out of jtnis State any white person or por tion and:soiis." This 'provision in our Stato 2, 180J, for tho forcible transportation , of Olds into tho Stato of Now York j was unconstitutional, and therefore utterly null and void, and tho peti petition ! tioner at the bureau claim no protec was tion under it. if 1 am right in this construction of the natioual and Btato recognized a a sovereign and inde pendent nation, and in which Ilia United Btate guarantied that th Cln rokces tlionld be authorized to uovcvn theiuaelveB, and all persons who had settled within their territory, freo from any riht of LeKislativo in (erferenco by tho Fcveral fitatea com posiuiT tha United States, in reference 10 acta douo within their own territo-. ly. The JStat'i of Georgia, therefor, had- do raoro power to pwa a" criminal law lo opcrato in thu territory thna recognized by the sovereignty of thu United titatofl, than they had Jo paes a law to opeiato in tho terrifury of. her aiater tstatea, It is by no moans cloar to my mind tliut this law nuw under cousidoratioii, ciiveifl or incliidt'B tho case at bar. It certainly does not uso very apt or precidii laujjnao to reach it. Conn pel for thu State alluded to certain proposed and rejec;ed amendments to thu law, lo ehow the motives opera- tin njion tho legislative mind in its nty," as voui. v uetiier Miis is a proposition of mutual rijht, as between the Statu and tlio petitioner, is a point never raised or decided withiu my recollec tion. There is another moet rcmai li i tiri.t . i able want ot mutuality in this law, even in casos of civil inrisdiction aa . .. ... r that iu this act complained ot, ho acted under color of authority derived from the President, may have tho ca60 tiarifd'erred to the Circuit C'onit of the United States ; and yet A baa no such right under this law, until after judgment shall have been rendered in the action pending in the State court. Hut apart fruiu thoo questions of doubt, what are the facte) and legal questions in the case at bar, which render this law unconstitutional, il intended to bo applied to such a case? Thu plain statement of the case ia this Tiie Constitution of the State of Uhio nroviuco that no person shall bo transported out of the State 'anv fT-nso committed within for tho Constitution, and this Btatute in pur- suaiice thereof is tho 6uprerao law of iho case at bar, and ot the present motion ofthe petitioner, unless thero is some provision in the constitution tf the United States which overcomes and subordinates tho State constitu tion upon the very question of tho forcible or tratidulent deportation ol a citizen from one State" into another A carotid examination of tho provis ions of the national constitution satis fies my mind there ia no such antag onism . on the contrary, tho two con stitutions are in clear and express harmony with each other npon this subject. If this is so, then the order jof tiie President, ender date of Anz constitutions, mpin materia then it also follows as au inevitable conclu- Bion, that this law of Congre33
