to control the organization of the Republican

GENTLEMEN :-t received your letter invi
ting me to be present an& addres a meetingto
be held in the. Park, in the eity.ef New - York,
on the 18tH instant " fo the pttrposo °fiat

When I was apPointedia justice of the Eitt4!
premo Court, something More than twelve yea
ago, I deemed it iiroper: to withdraw from.
active participatiod in the political' conflictS
the day ; and to that resolution I have a
since steadily atred.
~.. Iy..Democratic ikiirt!
eiples and opinion shave emained unchanged •
bat I have had very little t0 . .d0. with politi , „
affairs beyond giVing 'my vote at elections.
Notwithstanding the chatige which has recent' A
been , made in the mode of seledting judges.
shall 'still leave thi strifes of rftrty . politics.

But it is pot peceived thatthere can be any
impropriety in exfiressing my opinion upon.one
of the tomes to which yoe . have alluded: lam
utterly opposed to; the extension of slavery int
any. territory of the United Statesiwbereit does
not now exist. Bitt I dnot think it either

the right to propelity in

nized by all dam(' coo =aides. Siavery
cannot exist where`i there is no positive law to
uphold it. It is, nOt neadisary that it should
be forbidden ; enough that it is, not spe
cially, authorised: ;If tbq owner of slaves ro
moves. with or [schds them irito any country,
state or territory, tylieicavery does not exist
by law, they will from that moment become
free nip% and will have aSgood aright td com
mand the master, as ht , tyiU 114ve to command
them. State lawsibave nh extra territorial art
thority ; and a law .of Virginia which snake-
a man a slave there', cannot make him a slave
in New York, nor hoyon4 the Rocky- Moun
tains. - 1
Eatertaining nol doubt i upon 'that question,
I can see no occasion for askitig Congress to
legislate against; the extepsionf, of slavery into
free territory, and,j as a, nestion of policy, I
think: it had betterlboletone. If our Scruth

under the necessitl l of asking a law to . warrant
it ; and it will thebe in tithe for the free
states to 'resist theimessuit, tie I cannot doubt
they uloutd; with iiitravering firmness:
I would not needlessly (move this question,
because it is 'one o -an s}:iting nature,. , which
w i
tends to tectionSl ivi oil, ind may douslarm
a people. -: ri tad 140 e-it to the ave.

that the will act arise y,landi never rilove at
all—especially :las i it elms pretty geoerall
agreed, that neither 0e on, New Mexieo, nor
' California, aro w 11 a apted4o slavei labor.
' But if our Statile n b thren 'should make the

question, we shill hay no choice but to mee,
