Douglas, we note a bill to extend the maritime jurisdiction of the courts of the United States to the lakes. Heretofore, that jurisdiction had been confined to the ocean, and its limit had been the ebbing and flowing of the tide. The bill which he reported, and which is now the law of the land, extended the jurisdiction to the chain of northern lakes, thus, in effect, putting them on an equality with the high seas. VOL L L 162 HISTORY OP CONGRESS. He was among the most prominent supporters of t...he bill re funding the fine imposed by Judge Hall on General Jackson. He argued that to refuse to pass it would be an act of the grossest injustice to the American people, and would stamp them with ingratitude to their bravest defender. He denied that General Jackson had violated either the Constitution or the law at New Orleans. He insisted that the general right fully performed every act that his duty required, and that his right to declare and enforce martial law was derived from the necessity of its existence in time of war for the defense of the country.
