Sivu 396 - I am of a different opinion ; I think that the protection of territory is to be reckoned from these islands ; and that they are the natural appendages of the coast on which they border, and from which, indeed, they are formed.
Sivu 400 - By the law and constitution of this country, the sovereign alone has the power of declaring war and peace — He alone therefore who has the power of entirely removing the state of war, has the power of removing it in part, by permitting, where he sees proper, that commercial intercourse which is a partial suspension of the war.
Sivu 400 - ... of the state. It is for the state alone, on more enlarged views of policy, and of all circumstances that may be connected with such an intercourse, to determine when it shall be permitted, and under what regulations. In my opinion, no principle ought to be held more sacred than that this intercourse cannot subsist on any other footing than that of the direct permission of the state.
Sivu 419 - ... has resided, on his way to his own country, he was in the act of resuming his original character, and is to be considered as an American: The character that is gained by residence ceases by residence: It is an adventitious character which no longer adheres to him, from the moment that he puts himself in motion, b&na fide, to quit the country, sine animo revertendi.
Sivu 453 - It had, at that time, been prohibited (as far as respected carrying slaves to the colonies of foreign nations) by America; but by our own laws it was still allowed.

But by the alteration which has since taken place, the question stands on different grounds, and is open to the application...

But when a squadron is driven off by a superior force, a new course of events arises, which may tend to a very different disposition of the...
Sivu 359 - That would have been the retroactive effect of that course of circumstances. On the contrary, if the transactions end in hostility, the retroactive effect is directly the other way. It impresses the direct hostile character upon the original seizure.
Sivu 417 - This is not to be taken in an unqualified latitude, and without some respect had to the time, which such a purpose may or shall occupy ; for if the purpose be of a nature that may, probably, or does actually detain the person for a great length of time, I cannot but think, that a general residence might grow upon the special purpose.
Sivu 396 - It is contended that these are not to be considered as any part of the territory of America; that they are a sort of "no man's land," not of consistency enough to support the purposes of life, uninhabited, and resorted to only for shooting and taking birds
Sivu 418 - Supposing a man comes into a belligerent country at or before the beginning of a war, it is certainly reasonable not to bind him too soon to an acquired character, and to allow him a fair time to...
