The second, dated in 1850, was introduced by a report from Mr. Batier gouth Carolina, at that time chairman! of the ' Judiciary Committee of the Senate. In proposing • -the repeal of all legislation oa the subject it seems advisable to Imitate the latter precedent by a repo -t, .*■ assigning briefly the reasons which have governed the committee. .", .r- 1 j These' acts Profess to be founded upon certain words of the Constitution. On this ncccountitis important to consider these with a certain degree cf care. They are as follows: ; < interpretation. “To establishjastice. insure do-" mestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, pTOmotethe general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos terity;” such are the declared objects of the Con stitution, wl ich must be kept present to the mind as we read.its various provisions. Aud erery word must be so interpreted as bast to uphold these objects. The Preamble would be powerless against any “positive” sanction of Slavery by unequivocal words;, but, on the other hand, any attempted sanction of Slavery by words which are not “positive” and unequivocal must be power less against the Preamble which, in this respect, is in harmony with the ancient maxims of the law. But looking more minutely at the precise words v of this' clause, we shall see how completely it is ' stamped with equivocation from beginning to end. Every descriptiveword.il comains is double in Its signification. But the clause maybe seen, first, in what It does not contain: and, secondly,- m what it does contain. It does not contain the word ‘-slave” -or “Slavery,” which singly and exclusively denotes the idea -of property in 'man. Had either of these fatal words bfteh employed, there • would have "been.no -uncertainty or* duplicity.. But m abandoning these words all idea of pro perty in man was abandoned also. Other words 'were adopted tiinply because they might mean.- something else, add-therefore would not render the Constitution “odious’ * on its lace. But the un questionable fact.that these words might mean something else makes it impossible for them to mean “slave” or “slavery,*’ unless in this be** t&ti the most commanding rules of " The clause begins with the descriptive words he l? to 6erTlce or labor in one State under the laws thereof.’. 1 New a slave is not a “P™ oa ’ l^ lth ‘ h ® of persons, but a chatteior thing. Such is the received definition 5/ Tf hand* d.down from Aristotle. He is not “held to servicebr labor,” hut he is" hem as. property.

Congress on the subjects .Therefore, me argument against the ex -isting statutes is complete. Button snch an occa sion, • whett ft isproposed to reverse an'early policy of me the,committee are unwilling to stop here. ' ' : - v As-earto as 1793, while Congre?s-was sitting in vEhiladelphia, provisionefor the surrender of fu gitive slaves were fastened upon a bill for thesur render o' fugitives from justice, and the whole was adopted, apparently with very little considera tion. Thus,.accidentally, Congress undertook to assume the odious £owerto organize slave-hunt ing. But the act was scarcely passed before the conscience of people, sot" only at the North, but even in Maryland,, began to be aroused*Ogai nstit. Mr. Quincy,- whose' living memory embraces this eaTly.peripd, .tells us that, whejr au enforce ment of this act was attempted'in Boston, the crowd which thronged, me room of the magistrate, quietly and spontaneously, opened & lake for the lugitive, who was ,thus enabled to save himself ; Horn slavery, a&d also to save the country from, the dishonor of such a sacrifice. Almost at the same time, in .the.patriotic State of Vermont, a Judge of me Supreme : Court of the State, on ap plication for the surrender of an alleged slave, ac companied by docuihentary‘evidence > .reiused to comply, unless the master could show a bill of sale from the Almighty. ‘ There is authentic; evidence that this popular feeling-was recognized- by President Washington .as-a proper guide on an occasion when lie was per sonally interested. -A-slave of JUts.-Washington .had escaped to New .Hampshire. - The Pre-ident, in an autog> aph letter -which has'bean produced in the Senate, aadressed to Mr- Whipple, the collec tor at Portsmouth, and dated at’Phiiadelphia No veinber 23, 1796, after expressing the desire of “her mistress” for the return of the slave, lavs down the following rule of conduct: < ‘X do cot mean, however, by this request, that such violent measures should be used as would excite a mob or not, which imghtbe the case irshe has adherents, or even uneasy eens.tions in the minds of well-disposed citizens. B.ther than either of these i hould happen, I would forego her services altogether; and tDe example, also, which is of infinite more importance. • “Geobge Washington.’ « The fugitive never was returned; but lived to a [ good old age—down to a recent period—a liviDg witness to that public opinion which made even the mildest of fugitive Elave acts a dead letter. ' At last, in 1850, after the subject of slavery had been agitatedin Congress without Interruption for nearly -twenty years; a series ol propositions was adopted, which were solemnly declared to be com promises by which all the questions concerning slavery were permanently settled, so its never again to vex the country—as if any question conld be permanently settled except on the principles of justice. But the “gruel” was adopted, and among its ingredients “for acharin of powerlui J@>uble” was a new. fugitive Elave net, first re- Serted from the Committee on the Jndictaryby [r Butler, of South Carolina, but afterwards amended by a substitute from Mr. Mason, of Vir ginia, so as to become substantially his measure.- It is not necessary now to mention its details. Suffice it to say that in these, as well as in its gen eral conception, it was harsh, cruel and vindic live. - The Committe then enter into an elaborate argu ment upon the Constitutional objections to the fu- gitive slave act and upon the unconstitutional de- nial of trial to'the slave by jury. The report then continues as follows: There is still another objection on account of un constitutionality, which may. be .treated more biiefly; but It is not less decisive than the two ob jections already considered. It is founded os'the character of ibe magistrate to whom is committed the adjudication o! the great question of human freedom, than which none greater is known to the If it -were a question merely of property above twenty dollars; if it were a. question of crime in volving imp risonment under the laws of the United States; especially if it were a question involving !l? e, J be £* al mn£t bB a jndge duly appointed b v the President, by and with the advice mid consent of the benate, holding office during good behavior receiving for his services a fixed compensation! ■ and bound by a solemn oath oi office.

Perhaps there is no in stance- in history where t human itself in .grander-forms ofr expression, or where eloquence lent all her gifts more completely to' the demands of liberty, than theiispeech pfAn eminent character now dead and buried in a foreign land denouncing the captnrtfi.bf Thomas -Simms, at Boston, and .invoking thejndgmen t.of God and man.upon the agents-m ’this, wickedness Thor . great effort caunot be'Torgotteh in the'history of humanity:' But every case pleaded With an elo quence ot its own. until, at last,: one of those trai gedies occurred which darken the heavens and crv ont with a,, voice that vfill b e heard.- It. was the voice of a. mother standing: over her mnrdtred child. Margaret Gamer had escaped from slavery with three children',: bnt «he was overtaken at Cincinnati. Unwilling to see her offspring returned to the shambles of- the .South, this unbvppy person, describedin the t“S- Umony as < a womanly, amiable, affectionate mother, *■*-determined to save them in the only way within.her power. With a butchir knife, coolly and deliberately* ate took the life of one of the children, described as “almost white,and a little girl of rare beauty* ’» and attempted, without suc cess, to take tho life of the otaer two To the preacher. Who-InteiTqgattd Jier, she exclaimed: “The child was my own, given me of God to do the best a mother could in its behalf. 1 have done the best 1 could: 1 wonld hayp done more and bet ter for the rest: I knew it was better for them to go home to God than back to slavery." But she was restrained in her purpose. The fugitive slave act triumphed, and after the determination of sondrr qnesiions ot jurisdiction, this -devoted historic mother, with the two children that remained to her, and the dead body of the little one justeman created, was escorted' by a national guard of armed men to the dqpm of Slavery. But liberty is always'priceless, There are oth“r instances less known in which kindred wrong nas been done. > Every case was a tiagedv—under the forms of law. It is reported, on good authority that among the slaves -thn3 offered op was one who by his communications to the Government,- had been the means of saving upwards of one hun dred ihensand dollars. And here in Washington since the beneficent act of emancipation, even in sight of the flag floating from the national (j.initol the fugitive slave act has been made a sconre'e and a terror to innocent men and women. ° If all these pains and sorrows had redounded in any respect to the honor the country, or had contribnledln any respeetto the strength or the Union, then we might confess, perhaps, tha something at. least had been gained. Bnt, alas'" there has been nothing hut unmixed evil The country has suffered in its good name, whiie for eign nations have pointed with scorn to a republic which could sanction snch indecencies. Even since the rebellion began, in the name of Slavery the existence cf this odious enactment, unrepealed on our statute-book, has been quoted abroad to show that tbe supporters of the Union are as little deserving ol sympathy ss the rebel slavemoagers. Bntfrom the enforcemi ni of- this enactment the Lni n has tuflered; Tor hoi a slave was thrust tack, into bondage without weakening those pa triotlc sympathies,. North and South, which are its support. The natural irritation of th* North as it beheld all the safeguards .of freedom over thrown, and slavery triumphant in its very streets, wasencountered bv a savage exultation in the South, which seemed to dance about its vie tinas And \rljq were The authors of the fagit ve slave act} The answer may be genera! or special Jf general, it inny be said that in? authors were the representatives ot Slavery, Constantin® that stiine oligarchy or slave power -which has miulv plunged this country into ciTil war. Some <7f them even at thetlmeof asenactntent weitalreafv engaged in treasonable conspiracy against the union. Unquestionable facts will show how liiie reai occasion there was for this barbarous enactment It is now established, by ?he report of the census of 1660 that the loss of slaves by escape-was -trivia! According to this document “the whole annual loss to the Southern States from this cause bear-* less proportion to the amount of capital involved ‘than the daily variations which, La ordinary times, occur in the dnctuaticus of State or Go vernment securities in the city of flew York alone.* * — 'Ccmpetusiu)* of Census for ISOo, p. 32-} Such a statement is mo»t suggestive* Bui the official tables furnish confirmatory details. From these, it appears that during the year ending June 1, lstiu, out ol 3,tm»,557 slave*, only R 3 were able to escape, being one to about 5% 0i1*, or at ?he rate of eue-hfiieth of one per cent. Then, again, out of more than one million of slaves in the border States in IS6P, fewer than sDtreseaped. Such are the authentic facts. But this is not all. The slave who had succeeded in escaping, even when re-enslaved, was never afterwards regarded as good property. All the work he could do would cot-compensate for liis bad example. Jefferson Davis, in the frankness of an address to bis coastitpentsat home in Mis sissippi, on the lB5 U said openly that he did not want any fugitive slave 6ent into his Mate; that “such stock would be a curse to the land, lor wi*h ihoknowledre they had gained they would ruin the rest.of the slaves, and very piobably give rise to the most dreadful con sequences;” and he concluded byannouncing that “be would nothaveihhisqnartersanesTobrought from the North on any account whatever. IScvh-rn I*rcss, iSol.j And yet, in the lace of these authentic facts, showing how fewes caped, and then in face of an instinctive repng nance to alio w slaves wbo had once tasted liberty to mingle with other slaves, this atrocious statu e was enacted, and its enforcement was maintained at the point oi the bayonet while Jefferson Davis wasiecrttaiy ofWar. Speaking, then, in general terms, the authors of the fugitive slave act were the authors of the hel lion . be one and the other have the same pater nity, as unquestionably they have a family like ness. If, however, we go still further and seek the in dividual authors ol this odious measure, the fore runner of the. rebellion, it will be easy to point them out. But whether its authors be found in States or in dividuals, there Is about it the same smell ot re bellion. Proceeding first from Ssbutb Carolina, it was adopted by hke the rebellion itself senator from Virginia took from South Carolina the final responsibility—as an aged madman from .K rK i l,la !
