The difficulty in the reasoning on which the penalties are imposed is that. to guard against violation by others of what is denounced and is presented as an inconvenience if not a subversion of the purpose. and a willful one. instead of providing for punishing a man who has sold or passed away a certificate in order to be carried across free. you take hold of any man who has not a certificate. who has not been a party to any such transaction. but has not been enumerated. and has not a certificate. therefore. however innocent he may be. and instead of taking hold of him as a person not lawfully here and deporting him and detaining him in custody. for a reasonable time of six months to deport him. you are putting a punishment. as the )iouse did of five years and hero of one year. without convicting him of having dealt unlawfully with the certificate.
