TO THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE
An opinion of Mr. Crittenden OF Kentucky, At
torney General of the Z. 5, purportlng to nave
been in reply to aqucstion Of President Fillmore,
previous to the Fugitive act beng signed, as 10
whether or not it suspended the writ OF habeas
corpus, has been published III IS ol cohsluet@o'o
length.
The idea expressed by Mr. Crittcnden is that
II does not saspend it because the bib says moth
ing about the writ because by the Constitution 1t
is expressly forbidden to suspend the privileges
of this act and because there is no ncompatlblhty
in the bill &c
The Constitution says L" the Judiciary power OF
the United States shall be vested in one supreme
Court and in such inferior Courts as Congress
NAV from time to time order and establish, the
Judges of which shall hold their offices during
good behavior &c
The present law gives a single individual
power TO pass upon the case IN summary man
ner, without right to Jury, on the testimony or
affidavit produced by the claimant, and without
right of appeal and to give certificate to the
owner The law says the certdcate IN TINS
and the first section mentioned SHAH he conclusive
of the right OF the person or persons, IN whose
favor granted 20 remove such fugitive to the state
or Territory from which he escaped, and shall
prevent all molcstaton OF such person or persons
by any process issued by any court, Judge ma5is
trato or other person whomsoever
Mr. C. thinks Congress had power to pass such
a law.
The summing up of the opinion is that the writ
of habeus corpus may be issued but on the certl-
tiHcntc the person thus appointed that the par.
tv is q Fugitive from Slavery being shown, the
Judge issuing the habeas corpus has no power
there being no appeal, and the writ Oh l1aoeas
Corpus must be dismissed.
