Who will tell me that the transfer of the labor of these people will have no influence in suppressing the rebel- lion? But, asked the eloquent gentleman from Kentucky, [Mr. Yeamax, ] Who ever heard of a belligerent party taking private property on land? Let me ask him a question: Who ever heard of a belligerent prohibiting the people of the opposing power from rallying to his standard? He speaks of property, and I speak of men. It is a great thing, sir, to be a man. Mr. Yeaman. I answer the gen...tleman by saying that slaves, so far from being persons in the eye of the laws of nations, as he treats them, while they are actually persons, are, by that Constitution which he has sworn to support, the 20 private property of private individuals, and that neither under the Constitution, nor under the laws of nations, can you take private property on land as an act of war. Mr. Kelley. I take issue with the gentleman there, and if he will say that they are not designated in the Constitution as "persons, " or point me to the clause in which they are desig- nated as property, I will yield the point.
