that had long agtated the public mind, were
tentatively disposed of at the last session of
Congress. A settlement was necessary, to al
lay the growing aspertes that were rapidly
alternating different sections Of the Union from
I each other and, from the character OF the ad-
justment, we may reasonably expect that agiia-
ton will subside. The admission of Callfor-
MIA, the establishment of governments fo7r our
other territorial acquisitions, the adjustment OF
the Texan boundary controversy, and theaboli-
ton of the trafc in slaves in the District OF
Columbia, leave very little for slavery agitation

telllgent as ours, claims for Congress the pow

where II exists. Nothing, indeed, has been
found, 10 afford any material for excitement
except the Act for the return of fugitives from
labor; and it cannot fail to arrest the attention
that ii is not the Act but the provision of tJe
Constitution that is assaulted The fugitive.
"shall be delivered up is the language of the
Constitution ; he shall not be delivered up, is
the language of the nnllifer. Although this
Act is not in all its details, precisely what we
might desire, the principal objections that have
been urged against it, apply with greater force
against the Act of '93, which received the
sanction Of men who framed the Constitution
If, upon fair trial, experience shall prove, that
the law in its practical operation endangers the
rights of the free man, ii should receive such
amendments as will prevent its perversiou or
abuse
There is then, no occasion for the continuance
of an agitation that has resulted and can result,

PORTLAND, Dec. Is, 1850.

GENrLEMEN:-Your letter, inviting me to
attend meeting of the citizens of Bath and
vicinity, in favor of the Union, and of enforc
ing the laws passed in accordance with the pros
visions of the Constitution, has been received.
The performance of my official dutles will
prevent a comp lance with your request. This
should occasion 70 regret, for it cannot be
necessary that should attend such meeting
to make known my opinions in favor of the
Union, and of the enforcement of all laws
passed in accordance with the provisions of
the Constitution.
The Constitution has, in my judgement, been
productive of greater blessings to every part
of the Country, than those distinguished men
who framed it anticipated, or even hoped from
it.
The history of no othor country exhibits so
various, so rich and so extensive blessings de-
rived from its form of government, in so short
time. A dissolution of the Union would
prevent the continued enjoyment Of these bles-
sings.
