other States, by the passage of IN.
laws annulling that provision in N.
Constitution which secures TO tn
owner the right to recapture his fu0;
tive slave. You have heard it pFo
claimed in the Senate by Senate,
from the North, who was sworn to
support the constitution, that a Ger.
tain clause of that instrument which
protects us, was immoral, and, there
fore, not binding. You have heard
the terrors ofa dissolution ofthe Union
described by the picture of a yast
gulf between the North and tbS
South, "filled and heaped high viii
the slaughtered bodies Of our conn.
trymen," yet this revolving sigbl
would be endured-the reality wit
messed, by member of the Lowe,
House. rather than he would Weld
his opinions and his object on the sub.
ject of slavery. You have heard
your own especial favorites declare
that dissolution must come ratbe,
than the Wilmot Proviso shall B.
abandoned. You take no alarm a.
these things, bold and daring as they
are. Much as they may show a total
disregard for the Union. they are pas,
sed over as harmless. You have never
been suspected ofan over devotion "a
State sovereignty, or constitutional
restrictions, and if the South had
claimed power for Congress, instead
of denying it, she would have found
more friends.
My only motive in making This
communication, is TO vindicate myselg
and those with whom acted. from
the charge so unwarrantnbly mada
of untriendlinesS to the Union. Wa
have been actuated by settled con>
throughout, that we were
right. We believe conscientiously
that Congress has no power over the
question of slavery, either permissive
DR. prohbtory, and that any action on
he subject would be a gross infrac.
ion of that instrument. We desirs
% see the question banished from our
National Council-houSe, and harmony
'estOred but we warn the North no.
o expect US TO submit. We are
luite as firm in our resistance AS they
ire in their eneroachment.
That we may stand vindicated, and
ave that justice to which we are en-.
tiled, It is hoped that you will publish
his letter, and the proceedings of
he Convention, or at least the ad.
