Excerpt from Addresses, Literary, Political, Legal Miscellaneous, Vol. 2

Both of these arguments were delivered before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and are on subjects which involved not only great legal questions, but which also enlisted an unusual degree of popular interest. The one relating to the rights, duties and penalties of citizenship was delivered before the Supreme Court soon after the war, and as the legal point at issue was a new one before the courts of either State or nation, and as it affected the right of franchise in very large circles in this and other States, popular interest in the dispute was very general and earnest. It is entirely. Safe to say that this argument is the most exhaustive presentation of the mutual relations between our free government and its subjects that has ever been presented in any of our American courts.
