CARTER b. HARLAN,
Sec or State.
"Gcn. Robert Eucns, now the Democratic Governor OF
Ohio, pss then u member of the Senate, and IN the true
shirt Of patriotism, made the following remarks in sup
of the motion made by Mr.. Filhian. OF Champaign.
to strike out the l9;h section. a true copy OF whose speech,
rs then published, is below: =,
mir. Lucas said that he would vote for the motion OF
the gentleman from Champaign, (hr. Filhian) TO strike
the sect!or. Hc Considered it Objectionable III every
point of view. He considered it ROT only e violation OF
that provision OF the Constitution Of the State which
declares that there shall be neither St6rcry nor inroluR-
tary serrisuRC in this State. but it contains principles OF
the most reycl.ing character. j. declares THAI Il person
who is unable 10 pay .Fnc or costs, sha.. be liable TO 5s
SOLD; and that the individual who will Pay the fine und
costs for the shortest time OF service, shall be tkc pur-
chaser.
"'What will be the operation of this sec,ion;' soit Mr..
Lucas. will suppose Z case :-srrPo.c one Of The
Patriots of The Revolution shorlt he !ES9lted by an enc
my Of his counry, or a Tory, who had fought against
him in the struggle for liberty and he should he pro-
voked to commit an assault, in defending the honor Of
his G~overnment-by our laws lie might be prosecuted
and fined. tlei is poor, and unable to Pay Tic fire. What
would follow under Tie provisions Of this section: liz
IS PUBLICLY ADVERTISED Q ShLE-le is drag.
ged by the crier along the straet5--i!le man who pro.
voked the assault, lids The amour: Of tie E1e and cost fer
OLD PATRIOT Is KNOCKED OFF 70 HIS
PROSECUTOR, and driven, in triumph, ;nso BONE
AGE. Any unfortunate citizen, who, in an un~Guarded
moment, might be thus subjected to the payment o.: u
11ne, would De llu0EG 10 De SOLD, under TINS Spclon,
and DRIVEN INTO SLAVERY BY a FREE Ne
GRO, should such 4 negro choose to become the pur.
chaser. This would he revolving 10 every p-inci pie Of
and Il disgrace to the age in which we live.
"The question was then taken OR Mr.. FithianiS motion,
and carried in the Acknowledgements 20, nays ~. So this
provision, VOTED FOR AND DEFEND
BY WIN. H. HARRISON, does not now disgrace
the statute book Of Ohio"

" l have considered the question you have PROFOUND
ID to me, with 4 sincere desire to arrive at the conc!u.
that the subject, in relation TO the District of CO.

Constitutional power In Congress to interfere in the
