as soon a ? may be consistent with tbo nrin-
clples of the federal constitution , andud-
mtttod to tbo enjoyment of the privileges ,

The treaty'of Paris In ISM , xvhiohcon
tained similar words , hud the snnio effect
with regard to ritirciistilp. The rights that
wore granted to the state of Is'obmslia upon
Its admission to the union xvero granted to
the Inhabitants of the stnto of Nebraska
Ho then qxiotcs Chief Justice U'nito as
follows : "Who-n-er , then , xvas ono of the
people of either of these states when the con
stitution was adopted became , ipso facto a
citizen and member of the nation by its adop
tion. Hoxvns ono of thoporsoi a associating
togothur to form a nation , and was , consequently
quently , ono of its original citizen * . As to
this , there has never been a doubt. Disputes
hax-o arisen as to whether or not certain per
sons or certain classes of persons xvero part
of the people at the time , but never as to their
citizenship , if they xvoro. Thissainoprinciplo
applies to every noxv state.
T'lio xx-liolo theory of cur govoramoiit is
that "xvo , the pco'plo of Nobrnslia1 , xvhoii
they formed , a gox'ernincut for themselves
mid were admitted Into tlio union , come as
If they had joined hands with the original
nhiostatcsandentcrod the union with them ;
xvithalltho rights , privileges nnd Immuni
ties of citirens of tlic Tidied States. A stale
romlng into the union xvlttt one-half or two-
thirds of her bona lido inhabitants denied tbo
rights of cllUeiiiiliip could not bo on
equality with a state , the whole of
xvhoso inhabitants caino into tlio union
vested with all the rights , privileges and im
munities of Amnrlcan citizenship. The ad
mission of a state either prnnla tlio right of
citizenship in the United States or does not.
If it is the law that it does not then three-
fourths or more of the electors of ntorritorv
xvho formed constitution for statehood
xvheii the government which tlioy have
formed Is admitted by congress , bo aliens ,
entitled to nonoof the privileges and immu
nities of citizens of ttio United. States , If
the territorial qunlltlcatlon for voting was
based upon residence only , as It might uo , or
citizenship and those xvho hiui made declara
tion to become cltlrons , then nil the voters
who did not corao xvithin this class of citUena
