common-law  treasons.^  But  in  such  States  it  would  seem,
from  principles  already  laid  down,^  that  the  accessory  after  the
fact  to  the  treason  is  a  felon.  Yet  his  felony  must  remain  acces-
sorial to  the  treason,  and  retain  also  the  peculiar  quality  of  admit-
ting the  procurer  to  sustain  to  it  the  same  legal  relation  as  the
doer.^  This  question,  however,  both  as  concerns  the  States  and
the  United  States,  is  one  on  which  we  have  no  light  of  authority ;
only  there  has  been  manifested  an  undefined  repugnance  to  ac-
cepting in  this  country  the  entire  English  doctrine  of  accessorial
treason.*
