Other proposed amendments to make all laws uniform, to prohibit the assumption of the rebel debt are of vital importance, and the only thing that can prevent the combined forces of copper-heads and secessionists from legislating against the interests of the Union whenever they may obtain an accidental majority.
Curious to know how he liked the experiment, after a week's practice, I called his attention to the subject, by a pretty direct inquiry. He told me it was altogether the pleasantest mode of legislating that had ever been devised.
"Others" were in command, ... "others" ... everybody, in fact, except the House of Brull. The monarchy had been treasonably overturned; the men of the Revolution of September were legislating in Madrid.
The labours of the Society were greatly facilitated by the laws of the Union, which left to each State the uncontrolled power of legislating for itself on the subject of slavery. The members of the Society had therefore merely to address themselves to the humanity and understanding of the slaveowners, in order finally to attain their purpose.
To escape the certainty of civil war, therefore, it was necessary to lay down the line of inheritance by a peremptory order; to cut off resolutely all rival claims; and, in legislating upon a matter so vital, and hitherto so uncertain and indeterminate, to enforce the decision with the most stringent and exacting penalties.

Heirs to the great revolutionary illusion, they do not see that man is created by a past whose foundations we are powerless to reshape.
Under the plea of legislating for the police of public worship, he reaffirmed some of the principles which he had been unable to incorporate in the Concordat itself.
We perceived that we were legislating in the dark for a country whose economic and social condition we did not understand a country to which we could not apply our English ideas of policy; a country whose very temper and feeling were strange to us. We were really fitter to pass laws for Canada or Australia than for this isle within sight of our shores.
