Mr. DAYTON, Of New Jersy, admitted that the
clause in the Constitution speaks only of States "
but he thought that the case Of the Territories,
F" if not within the letter, was within the spirit Of
the Constitution !" and that Congress should pro-
vide for the seizure and extradition Of fugitives
escaped into them. lie said further
The Senator from Ohio assumes the legal posi-
ton that slavery is controlled by the common law
except where the common law is overridden by
the Constitution. There is no controversy about
that There is no controversy about the fact that
il a slave escape from slave State into free
State or upon free soil or even upon free terri
tory, in common law that slave is free. But the
question is whether, legisatng in spirit of good
faith, We ought not TO give to the South the fair
benefit of this constitutional provision of the Con-
stitution-w whether We ought not TO override the
common.law principle. IL seems to me that we
ought to carry ont the provisions Of the Constitu-
ton in good faith and il a fair trial, or what il
in my judgment fair trial is given to the fugi-
tive, | am willing to give the South the benefit of
the redelivery everywhere and anywhere. But
the Senator from Ohio says, "What power have
you to legisate in this way" The Constitution
limits this power Of legislation to slaves escaping
into the several States 1.-THE power comes from
that general clause which gives the Government
exclusive power to legislate for the Territories,
certainly we have the power to pass a law upon
this subject. Our power over the Territories Is
supreme. II covers this question M 1t covers all
others If it does not cover this question, pray
let me ask my friend how he will vote for the
Wilmot Proyisol II we can shut out slavery
from the Territories we can let 1t in, or order
slaves to be delivered up in the Territories. We
have supreme and exclusive jurisdiction over the
Territories. That is the legal position upon which
we have stood all along The only question was
one Of Xpediency-whether We should exercise
IL or not
In answer, Mr.. CHASE said the Senator from
