ato operation, Pennsylvania passed Ler law for the gradual abolition of slavery, mindful of the rights of her confederates, she declared tiiat " this net, or anything in it contained, shall cot give any relief or shelter to any : absconding or runaway negro or mulatto slave, or servant,* who lias absented biuiself, or shall absent himself, from his or her owner, master or mistress, vesidiug iu any other btate or , country, but such owner, master or mistress, shall have like right end aid to demand, claim j and take away his slave, or servant, as he rai T ht have had in case this act had not been made." A provision much more unequivocal in its phraseology, and direct in its commands, than those found, on the same subject, in the ! Constitution of the Union. The aet, by its terms, was made inapplicable to domestic*, slaves attending upon delegates iu Congress from the other American States, and those held by persons white passing through this State, or sojourning therein for a period not longer than six months. In 1788 it was made a high penal offence for any person, by force, violence or fraud, to take out of this State, any negro or mulatto, with the intention of keeping or selling the ' said negro or mulatto as a slave, for a term of years. Soon after the passage of this aet, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decided that it did not apply to the forcible removal of a slave, by the owner or his agent, but that its object was to punish the forcible or fraudulent abduction from the State of free negroes, with • the iutention of keeping or selling them as | slaves. Thus, at au early day, giving judicial sanction to the doctrine, that a master had j the right to take his slaves wherever he conld find them. The first act of Congress providing for the rendition of fugitives from justice or labor was passed in 1793, and originated from the refu sal of the Governor of Virginia to surrender and deliver up, on the requisition of the Go vernor of Pennsylvania, three persons who had been indicted iu Pennsylvania for kidnap ping a negro, and carrying biin iuto Virginia, And when it was found that this Congression al statute did not afford a simple, speedy and efficient remedy for the recovery of fugitives from labor, the Legislature of Pennsylvania, at the request of the adjoining State of Mary land, in 1823, passed her act " to give effect to the provisions of the Constitution of the U. States relative to fugitives from labor, for the protection of free people of color, and to pre vent kiduappiug." This excellent and well considered law iqet all the existing emergen cies. It required the judges, justices of the peace and aldermen, of the State, upou the oath of the claimant, to Usue their warrant for the arrest of any fugitive from labor escap ing into this State ; directing, however, that such warrants should be made returnable, by whomsoever issued, before a judge of the proper county. It required sheriffs and con stables to extents such- warrants. It author ized the commitment of the fugitive to the county jail, and otherwise made provisions to secure its effective execution, and at the same lime to prevent its abuse. This law continued quietly in operation un til the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, made in 1842, ia the case o! Prigg vs. The Common wealth of Pennsylva nia. The history of the case may be briefly stated : Edward Prigg was indicted in the court of oyer and terminer of York county, for kiduappiug a colored person, named Mar garet Morgan. Upon the trial it appeared that she was held as a slave in the State of Marylaud, and that she escaped into the State of Pennsylvania in the year 1832—that in 1837, Edward Prigg was appointed, Ly the owner, to seize and arrest her as u fugitive from labor. In pursuance of this authority, aud under a warrant issued by a justice of the peace, Prigg cansed the netrro woman to be arrested, and without having obtained any warrant of removal, he delivered her to her owner iu the State of Maryland. These facts were found by a sceciul verdict, ami by the agreement of counsel, a j idgmeut was enu r ed against Prigg. From this judgment a wilt of error was taken to the Su; rerae Court of the State, where a sro f-.rm-i judgment of af firmance was again, by agreement, entered, aud the ca removed to the Supreme Court of the United States. It will be observed that the question, whether Edward Prigg was ruadv gniltv oi' the crime of kidiutpiiiac. un der the Pennsyl'auia >: itnte <!' 1 -2... w - uevcractually passed upon, either by th? court or iuiy, in tLie comity of York, or by the Sirreme Court of the state. The jury merely found the tacts, and tb; action of Loth courts w.is but .i matte.' of form. In the argument and determination of the ease, in the Snprer: * O art of the I nitcd Btati . u am Mrs to fc m been taken for geaoludr, thai our aet of lsifi made it a criminal offene > forrn -ster to take bis slave out of this State, without a warrant of removal ; and. upon this construction, the a-t was declared unconstitutional and void. This, I submit, was a clear misapprehension of the purport aud rneauiir ft our lepi-daiiou. The tint section of the act of 1-2 G. under which the indictment against Prigg was framed ww almost literally copied from the seventh section of the act of 17 7, to which a construction liad already feen given by the higliet ju dicial tribunal of the .-* tie of Pennsylvania, where i' was held to have uo application whatever to the removal of a slave by the master or his agent, with or without a warrant. Such was the undoubted law ot the State un der tbc statute 01 Uod, and in re-enacting that statute, iu the act of 182 G. with an increased penalty, it is muni fest that the intention aud object of the Legislature was to protect free persons of color, and to pjui.-h those who, by fraud, force or violence, were guilty of kidnapping, nud holding or selling free men u- slaves. Ti.is the State had a clear right to do ; and nothing but a misconstruc tion of her at, could have induced the declaration that it was forbidden by the Constitution o! the United States. It is perfectly clear, that Edwai'u I'rigg bad committed no crime in removing Margaret Morgan from tue State of Pennsylvania to tue cute 01 Maryland, and delivering her up to her owner ; aud it is equally ciear, that no at tempt was made, by the statute of Pennsylvania, to de clare his act a crime. lie should have beeu discharged, apt because the act of the stale was unconstitutional, but because he lrad not transgressed its commands. The Supreme Court of tire United States not ouly pro nounced the particular section ot the act of I*2G, then, before them, unconstitutional, hut a majority of the court held that the whole act was void, because the pow er to provide for iLe rendition of fugitives from labor, was vested exclusively in Congress, and the several States were, therefore, incompetent to pass statutes either ia aid of. or to hinder, delay or prevent, the de livery of such fugitive*-. That this was the extent oi the decision, as delivered by Ju Igc Story, not ouly appears from the opinions of the majority, but a!-o from the dis senting opinions delivered by the minority of the court. By this unfortunate decision, it was authoritatively pro claimed that Pennsylvania, iu enacting her liberal statute of l2tJ. uiakirg it the duty of iier own ouicers to a.d in arresting and delivering up fugitives from labor, had mistaken licr cons-titntionn! obligation, and that her aet was In violation of, rather than obedience to, the Cunsti tution of the United States. Under such circumstances, 'it Was the manifest duty of the State to repeal her law thus declared unconstitutional. This was done by the act of 1017 ; and if that act had contained nothing more than a repeal ol th i.v of I*2o, aud the re enactment of the taw against kidnapping, it could not have been subject to anv just complaint. But the third suction of the act of I*s1 7, prohibits, tinder heavy penalties, our judges and magistrates from acting uuder any act of Con gre—. or otherwise taking jurisdiction of the case of a lugitive from labor ; and the fourth section punishes with tine, and imprisonment, the tumultuous and riotous arrest of a fugitive slave, by any person or persons, un der any pretence of authority whatever, so as to create a | breach of the public pea c. The sixth section, denying , the use of the county jails for the detention of fugitive slaves, was repealed In 15.".2, aud need onh- be referred to as showing the general spirit of the act. The seventh section repealed the provisions of the act of 1790, which authorized persons passing through our State to take their slaves with them, and gave to sojourners the right to bring their slaves into tire State, and retain them here i tor any period not exceeding six months. The provisions of the third aud fourth section-" of the ! act of is 47, seem to have been predicated upon the lau I g-iajre of the .Supreme Court in lTigg's c.i-e. It Is there j admitted that the several States may prohibit their .awn Ejfgf. irate*, aid other officer- from exercising an author . J ity conferred by an act of Congress ; and that while an owner of a slave, under aud in virtue ol the Constitu tion of the United States, is clothed with power. 111 every State ot the liuiou, to seize and recapture his slave, he must, nevertheless, do so without using any il j legal violence, or committing a breach of the pea< e. It • is evident that the framer of the act of 147, had closely studied tbe case of i'rigg vs. The Cumin' uwealth of | Pennsylvania, and bad kept his law etriotiv within its letter. In many respects, the art isa < odiheatiou <>l the 1 principles -enunciated py the court ; and mo * tault may justly he found with its temper thau ita want* of consti | tutionality. If fugitive slave- were still claimed under tbe act of j 1793, the denial to tbe master of the aid oi Sta'o Judges I and magistrates, might bo a source of great inconvenience j i to him : out the complete and perfect remedy now pro ! vided by the act of Congress of lboO, renders him entire- . ' ly independent of State officers. And the punishment of j arrests without warrant, by a master in the exercise ot Ms constitutional right ol reception, but made ia a vio lent, tumultuous and unreasonable maun- r, amounting I to a breach of the peace, is but recognizing, by statute, what was before the common law. These sections were k re-enacted in the revised penal code of Pennsylvania, at the last session of the Legislature, and are still the law of the State ; but they are not u ov of any practical im portance, and as their retention on our statute book is calculated t > create the impression that the people of this State are unfavorable to the execution of the fugi tive slave law. and the discharge of their confederate | d ities, and with the view of removing this subject of re proach. I earnestly recommend their unconditional re peal. While a majority of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, iu the Prigg case, held, that a , State had no constitutional right to provide by legislation for delivering up fugitives from labor, a minority were then of the opinion tliat State laws, consistent with, and in aid of, the constitutional injunction, were valid and proper. And this minority opiuion is now the judgment of the present court, as recently indicated in a case which arose iu the State of Illinois. There is, therefore, nothing to prevent the revival of the aet of 182G, aud its restoration to tiie place in our code to which, by its mer its, it is so justly entitled. This would leave to the op j tion of the claimant, whether he would seek his"remedy under State or National laws, lie had this right before ] the repeal of our act of I>>2G, aud, in my opinion, no , good reason can be assigned for refusing*to place hiui ! again in the same position. | i would also recommend that the consent of the State lie given, that the master, while sojouring in our State, for a limited period, or pa-sing through it, may be ac companied by bis slave, without losing his lie fit to his service. While such legislation is due to the comity which should ever exist between the different States of this Union, it would undoubtedly tend greatly to restore that peace and harmony, which are now so unwisely im jieriled, By it Pennsylvania would concede no priucij le j —we would simply be lulling back upou our ancient pol icy, adopted at a time when our people were themselves -trtiggiiug for their rights, and never departed from, un i til, by a misconception of its meaning, one of our most important statutes was declared unconstitutional. From 17-0, to IS 17, a period of sixty-seven years, Pennsylvania her wit a free Slate, permitted the citizens of other States 1 to sojourn within her limits, with their slaves, lor any ; period not exceeding six months, and to pass through the State, iu traveling from one State to another, flee ; from ail molestation. \Y as she injured, or was the cause ' of human IreeUjui retarded, by the friendly grant oi this 1 privilege ? This question cannot be truthfully answered iu the affirmative ; but it may le safely averred, that by changing our policy, in this respect, we have iu some de l gree. at least, alienated from us the feelings of fraternal kindness, which bound together, so closely, the sister hood of State-. Let us, then, renew this pledge of aiui jty and friendship, and on more extend a kindly wel come to the citizens of our common country, whether : visiting us on business or pleasure, notwithstanding tliey J may be accompanied by those who, uLder the Constitu tion aiui the laws, are held to service and lab ir. The Ter, itories ot the United Elates belong to the Gen eral Government, aud iu those territories the people of the several .-states unquestionably have equal rights.— They were acquired by means of the common expendi ture of blood and treasure. By the Federal Constitution power is given to Congress " t > dispose of aud make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory and other property belonging to the United State.-." Wheth er under this, or auy other power conferred by.the Con stitution, Coagre.-s can prohibit or protect slavery iu the territories, has been seriously questioned. But, if the power to legislate upon this delicate and important s in ject were clearly vested ia Congress, in my judgment it ought not to Ik* exerci-ed. To declare that slavery -null not exist in the Territories, is calculated to exclude from their occupancy the citizens of the southern or slave holding States ; while, to make it a legal institution 111 ail the territories of the United States, by Congressional enactment, and 1 > pr .vide lor its continuance during tiieir entile Territorial existence, would ho equally in jurious to the people of the tree State-. The principle adopted in the Compromise measures of 1e.70, for dis posing ol the question of slavery iu New Mexico and Utah, aud reiterated in the Kansas and Nebraska bills of lijol, of non intervention by Congress with slavery in the States and in the Territories, is the true rule. It is the duty ot Congress, when a sufficient number of hardy and adventurous pioneers find their way iuto our di-tant Territories, to furnish them a shield of protection and a iorm of government : but to the people themselves be longs the right to regulate their own dome-tic in.-titu tiuu- in their t wn way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. \\ hiie the-e views have been long entertained by me, and whiv.- 1 am -mcerciy of the opinion that their g aer ial adoption, and faithful enforcement, would have pre ; served. and may yet restore, peace and harmony to all sections ol our country, I am nevertheless not so wedded ! tolhciuasto reject, unceremoniously, all other proposi ti uus t'< r the settlement of the vexed questions which now threaten to sunder the bonds which for three quar ters ol ac. ntury have made us one people. Forty year ago, our lathers settled au a..jury controversy growing out of a similar question, by dividing the Territories pur chased from France, and providing that slavery, or in voluntary servitude, should not exist north of a certain line ; and the v. h > e country acquiesced in that compro mise. in 1 it, that restriction upon slavery was ie i..o\rJ, and tiie- people of uo the Territories were left free to dc<: iu tue *. le-iion for themselves. Now the s - on:i! i; . ted by the dominan. party m the norm, c.aiui.: g.that suxery cm not legally goii.lo the Territories. tv< a if sanctioned by Congress, or the errita 1 : U L< ; wad i-aat it is the right ami the •iu. > ".I Com,rat- to p. hi'uit its existen e.

May we not wisely iuiio* the example of our fati. rs, by re enacting ilie old ; comprorul • line of 1.- 2J, ami =:: leading it to the boun dary of Lai..'irnia Not by the nexus of legislation of I out!l'ul con-lit .tiocali:;.-, ...t by an amendment to the , Constitution iUei , and thus p rmai tutly fix the condi tion oi the Territories, so that those wh<> de-sire to occupy them, may find a home, at their discretion, cither where ; slavery is tolerated, or where it is prohibited. If the | adoption of such an amendment would peacefully settie j the difficulties which now surround us. I am tati-iiod | that it would be sanctioned by the people of Peunsyiva i ; ma. At all < vents, they should have an opportunity to ■ accept or reject it. if made as a peace offering. I would, : therefore, recommend the General Assembly to instruct i ami request our Senators and representatives in C . : grc-q to support a proposition for such an amendment 0. the Constitution, to be submitted for ratification or re jection, to a ■ onV 'lition o. delegates, elected directly by , j the people of the State. in the event ol the iailnn* of Congress speedily to pro ' pose this, or a similar amendment, to the Cou-titution, , i the citizens of Pennsylvania should have an opportunity 1 by the application of son." peaceable remedy, to prevent j the dismemberment of this Union. This can only be ! done by railing a convention of delegates to be elected I by the people, with a view solely to the consideration ol j what measures should be taken to meet the present fear -1 fill exigencies, il Congress should propose no remedy, let it emanate from the source of ail authority, the peo ple themselves. Every attempt, upon tbe part of individuals, or of or gauized societies, to lead the people away from their al legiance to the government, to induce them to violate any ol' the provl-ioas of the Constitution, or to incite in -;urecti'us in any of the States ot this Union, ought to he prohibited by law, as crimes of a treasonable nature. It is of the first importance to the perpetuity of this great Union, that Uie hcarfe of the people, and the ac tion of their constituted authorities, shonld be in unison, in giving a faithful Hiipport to the Constitution of the United States. The people of Pennsylvania are devoted to the Union. They will follow iu stars and its stripes through every peril. But, before assuming the high re | sponsihihties now dimly foreshadowed, it is their solemn uatv to remove every just cause of complaint against themselves, o that they may stand before High Heaven and the civilized world, without fear and without re | proach, ready to devote their lives and their fortunes to ! the support of the best sort of government that lias ever i been devised by the wisdom of man. In accordance wilh the provisions of the constitution of tin* Stale, I shall soon resign the office of Chief Exec utive ot Pennsylvania, with which the people have en , trusted me, to him whom they have chosen as my suc cessor. i shall carry with me iuto the walks of private lire, tire consciousness of having honestly discharged the duties that have devolved on ine during the trrin of my j office, to the best of my ability ; and shall ever cherish ; the warmest affection for, and the deepest interest in, the future welfare of our beloved Commonwealth and our glorious Itepnblic.
