And, sir, it is not difficult to perceive why the
Constitution withheld all power from Congress
to egislate on the subjects Of fugitive criminals
and fugitive slaves, and has left this whole mat
ter to the States for enforcement The trainers
of the Constitution knew very well that it was
yery delicate matter for citizens without a
State to attempt to seize any person within it.
Shareholders knew that there was but one way
by which their fugitive slaves could be efectually
recovered TO them, when entering another State,
and that State free State. The power the
police, the judiciary OF the States, must be en-
gagged The faith and duty Of the States must
be Implicated Every man in the free States
must be bound, AS party to the constitutional
compact, TO deliver up to him his slave, on his
mere I" claim" This IL the great, efficient rem
edy provided in the Constitution for the recov-
cry of fugitive slaves and the claim being made
1t rested with the State or the State authorities
to do one of two things" deliver up" the slave
or pay for him. This is the alternative we have
presented TO Great Britain in the only two wars
we have had with her. She thought proper to
entice away great number of our slaves during
the continuance of these wars and at their close
she delivered up or paid for all the slaves she
took from us or carried away. Our sister States
when pledged by the terms Of the Constitution,
would have been prepared not to do less; and
the result would probably have been long since,
throughout all Of our Northern States, that laws
would have been passcd--termed very properly
by the honorable senator from Alabama Mr.
CLEmEKs) the most efficient of all fugitive slave
laws--prohbiting negroes, under any eircum-
stances, from entering their boundaries. At all
events,we would long since have known whether
the free States would have fulfilled their faith
pledged to us by the Constitution. We would
long since have had peaceably this guarantee Of
TIE Constitution or have dissolved our connex-
ion With them. .tia f/tst
A. "a substitute--and an exclusive substitute
for this peaceable and more efficient redress
under the Constitution, Congress has usurped
the power Of legislating upon this subject. IL
has undertaken to thrust the powers of the gen.
eral government into the matter, and secure to
us our fugitive slaves. The act of 1893, oil
