Mr. DOULITTLK. If one of the citizens of Wisconsin (and, sir, I am sorry to be compelled to state that such things have occurred in some of iho southern States) is taken by a mob and hanged, what remedy has he? Mr. BE. \J. \Ml. N'. 1 am not speaking of moljs ; I am speaking of constitutod govern- ments. If the goTernment of a State underuikes to hang a citizen for refusing to obeyl certain orders, ami if the Government of the United States, acting, as it says, upon the individual, and not upon the State, hangs him if he does obey it, I ask if that is a posi- tion to which the gentleman supposes the fathers consented that a citizen should be placed iu when the Constitution was framed?
