Then, this being the case, this being the provision of the Constitution, it was found necessary, in General vvashington's time, to pass a law to carry that provision of the Constitution into effect. Such a law was prepared and passed. It was prepared bya gentleman from a Northern State. Itis said to have been drawn up by Mr. Cabot, of Massachusetts. It was supported by him, and by Mr. Goodhue, and by Mr. Sedgwick, Of Massachusetts, and generally by all the free States. It passed without a division in the Senate, and with but seven votes against it in the House. It went into Operation, and, for a time, it satisfied the just rights and expectations of everybody. That law provided that its enactments should be carried into effect mainly by State magistrates, justices of the peace, judges of State courts, Sheriffs.
