not justly be claimed as party measures. yet deem
Ell it my duty under the circumstances, to give
them in the Senate n cordial and unwavcr.ng sup
port and, Immediately upon my return home, when
assaied by my constituents. defended and vindica
ted the provisions Of each and all of those acts and
especially insisted upon the faithful execution of TIE
law for the reclamation Of fngitives from labor
My opinions upon these questions have undergone
change and shall deem it my duty, in whatever
official position may be placed. exert all legal
and constitutional authority to enforce the honest
execution of those. we'll all other acts passed
in pursuance Of the Constitution. Inasmuch as the
Constitution of the United States provides that no
person held to service or labor in State under
the laws thereof escaping into another, shall in
consequence of any law regulation therein lie dis
charged from such service labor but shall be de-
livered up the claim Of the party to whom such
service or labor may he due; it became the imper-
ative duty of Congress to pass all laws necessary
