Thirdly.-Thst slaves, under the proylsios ~ OF
the Federal Constitution, are not regarded as
property, and ought not 10 be paid for by the
Government as such. ua
Fourthly.-Thst for Congress to- allow com
Pensation for the man Lewis, wopld Be to re-
verse the entire system Of legislation the sub
ect which controlled this body siues the adop-
ton Of the Constitution, and would bespeak an
instability Of purpose which must necessarily
