New YORK October "a, 1850
NV DEAN Bin - In com pliance with YOUR reouest
expressed to me this morning. submit my views In
regard to the subject matter OF our conversation
The subject of slavery In the territories Of the
United States Is disposed OF BY the passage for
the government of those territories That question
In my opinion ought not TO bs opened or disturbed
In respect to the abolition OF slavery in the District
Of Columbia, am Of opinion that while Congress has
the right to lsgisste in regard 1t 1t would be un
wise and inexpedient TO exercise that right without
the sanction of the constituted authorities Of the
State of Maryland
The provision Of the constitution of the United
States respecting fugitive slaves should be carried
into effect. The obligation to deliver up fugtives from
lst or IL clear and explicit, aud lie atory and
bnaing upon every citizen ms any other requirement
OF the constitution The bill which recently passed
Congress- having become the Law of the ought to
be respected but 1t should be modified in re-
specs to secure the rights of freemen aedged be
slaves to allay the pcreasipg opposition to the law
because Of its supposed defects in this respect and
prevent the further agitation Of the question OF
slavery Very respectfully JAMES BOWEN.
The sptments Of this letter we're endorsed By the
