185834656Albany: Weed Parsons & Company Printers 1858. 48pp. Disbound bit of blank edge chipping Good. <br/><br/> This pamphlet prints Hill's argument in a significant constitutional case. One Coleman sought to enjoin the Hudson River Bridge Company from building a bridge over the Hudson at Albany; a New York statute permitted the construction. The issue was whether a State could authorize the erection of a bridge over navigable rivers of the United States. Defending the statute Hill says the real party in interest is the City of Troy which it fears would be competitively disadvantaged by the bridge. "And now comes Troy-- a city distinguished chiefly for the favors she has received and is constantly asking at the hands of the State-- and pointing to her local interests which have prospered under state patronage asks you to interdict an exercise of sovereign power prompted by state necessity." <br/> Hill argues that New York's authority is not hindered by Congress's constitutional power to regulate commerce and navigable waters. The Circuit Court which included Justice Miller of the U.S. Supreme Court agreed and dismissed the complaint. On appeal the Supreme Court divided 3-3 see 69 U.S. 403 1864; the tie vote rendered the Circuit Court's decision a final judgment. <br/>FIRST EDITION. II Harv. Law Cat. 1189. Sabin 31850n.

Else Good. <br/><br/> A fine Sermon delivered soon after the repeal of the Stamp Act and just before enactment of the equally execrated Townshend Acts. Bridge warns that rulers have the duty to promulgate "only such laws as.are fit for the government of rational intelligent moral agents all equal and upon a par antecedent to any political combinations among men;" and not to abuse their God-given trust "by serving the purposes of ambition usurpation and tyranny.But I must not enlarge." <br/> Whatever the form of government all men "have a natural right" to enjoy freedom: "every man protected in his just rights sitting under his own vine and under his own fig tree.and none to make him afraid." Careful to be conciliatory he praises English rule even Parliament "which tho' liable to mistakes has yet been attentive to the good of the nation and kingdom and her colonies and dependencies." He praises God that the "late transactions" did not proceed "to that extremity which many feared and which would have terminated in.the ruin of the colonies." <br/>FIRST EDITION. Evans 10569.
