"Every human being born upon our continent, or who comes here

from any quarter of the world, whether savage or civilized, can go

to our courts for protection—except those who belong to the tribes

who once owned this country. The cannibal from the islands of the

Pacific, the worst criminals from Europe, Asia, or Africa, can appeal

to the law and courts for their rights of person and property—all,

save our native Indians, who, above all, should be protected from

wrong." Gov. Horatio Seymour
