that those persons escaping to other States shall
BE- delivered I'D, and confess have always been
Of the opinion that it was an injunction upon the
States themselves When 1t Is said that person
escaping into another State, and becoming there
fore within the jurisdiction of that State, shall be
delivered up. il seems TO me the import OF the
passage is, that the State itself, in obedience to
the Constitution shall cause him to be delivered
up. That is my Judgment. have always enter
tanned il, and entertain it now"
The claim of Vermont, then, to legislate upon
this subject, is sustained by the deliberate judg
ment of Mr.. Webster, always entertained, and
now entertained. The difference between her
and Mr.. Webster is, that he, as lawmaker, bows
implicitly to the Supreme Court, in opposition to
his own judgment, while Vermont, acting in ac-
cordance with her judgment, is willing to give the
Court an opportunity to reconsider and reverse
its decision.
We now commit the editor Of the Union to his
new teacher, Daniel Webeter. "The new era in
constitutional law which it says is established
BY the National Era, must be credited to its new

than two thirds of the wealth Of the Union, &C
cording to official statistics, is in the free States
The slaves of the South are worth to the state
Just what they will produce, and nothing more J;
but every body knows that the free labor OF the
North is intellectually more productive. Mr. Shep-
ard is evidently under the impression that as
slave-labor staples contribute more than half OF
all our exports abroad, therefore the South must
be no much richer than the North-oyerlooking
entirely the immense export of the North to the
South. Does he not know that the hay crop alone
of the North is almost as valuable as the entire
cotton crop of the South
Mr.. Shepard follows this presentation Of the
wealth of the South with complaint against the
Federal Government, that it C. denies all obligation
to protect it slavery from its numerous enemies"
What protection does the Federal Government
owe to Slavery Do we call upon it to protect
the institutions of the North-its manufacturing
and mining establishments, its common schools,
its banking institutionsl We have been trained
to believe that the institutions of State are of
State concern-dependent for existence and pro-
lection upon State power. Is Mr.. Shepard anx-
ious to take Slavery out Of this category, and
place il within the control of the Federal Govern
ment7 He is manifestly laboring under strange
hallucination--for in view of his allegation that
the Federal Government denies all obligation to
protect Slavery, and grudgingly passed bill
making provision for the catching Of fugitives, he
exclsims, q do not believe there is a Government
on earth, no, not the Autocrat Of the Russias,
which would treat so large and important por-
ton of its subjects with such harsh and cruel in
iustice.D All this, because il is sought to leave
Slavery to the care of the States in which il ex-
ists-a policy which the South has heretofore in
sisted upon!
Mr. Shepard must be hard run to make out a
catalogue Of grievances.
Mr. Shepard assumes that it is the settled poll
