MY DEAR SIR: In compliance with your request ex-
pressed this morning submit my views in regard TO
the subject matter of our conversation.
The question OF Slavery in the territories of the United
States disposed by the passage OF laws for the govern
meut Of those territories That question ought not LII my
opinion to be reGpened or disturbed.
In respect to the abolition OF Slavery in the District of Co
lumba am of opinion that while Congress has night TO
legisae in regard it, it would beunwse and mexpedlenI
to exercise that right without the sanction OF the constituted
authorities of the State Of Maryland 49,
The provision Of the Constitution of the United States
respecting fugitive Slaves should be carried INTO effect mo
obligation deliver up ugyes from labor Is clear ana eS
plci and is mandatory and binding upon every cZe
any other requirement OF the Constitution me Oil
which recently passed Congress having become Inc law OF
the land ought be respected but 1t should be nodlhed IN
some respects to secure the rights oeenen aleged to be
Slaves aay the increasing opposition to the Ia" because
further agitation of the question OF Slavery ,,,.r
Very respectfully JAMES BOWEN
HON. WIN HALL.
