GOVERNMENT IMPLICATED WITH SLAVERY.
We are continually told that the federal gov.
eminent has nothing to do with slavery, and Vet
from n very early period its powers have been
exerted to protect. to extend, and to perpetuate
the institution. II is the object of the A. and
+. A. s. society to effect as far as possible, an
entire divorce Of the federal government from
the subject Of slavery. In relation to the con.
stitutional powers of the federal government.
we indulge in no opinions more ultra than such
as have been ayowed by Daniel Webster him
self. With him we hold that Congress is fully
authorized TO abolish and TO forbid slavery in its
own territories, to suppress the comlncrce in
slaves between the States, and 10 refuse admis-
sion into the Union Of new slave States. We
also cordially concur in his Judgment" express
ed in his speech in the Senate, on the 7th March,
1850 that the Constitution does not confer on
Congress the right to iegislate respecting fugitive
slaves. Ia accordance with these views, the A.
and f. A. s. society aims at delivering the gen.
eral government from all entanglng alliance
with slavery and they desire to effect this much
desired deliyeranee by inducing the people to Sc
lect for their representatives in Congress such
men only as will resoutely refuse to legislate
in behalf of slavery. rt fa
