atories; but the clause in which you
inquire whether | would "diScounten-
ance by every proper means all att
empts to disturb or change the provis-
ions of that law, whereby those pro-
visions might be made less efiectual," )"
may possibly be construed to imply
that the Executive would be expected
10 influence or restrain the action OF
Congress by other means than those
enjoined by the constitution. Lest
my answer may not be deemed full on
this point, it is due to candor to state
that should not feel at liberty, in any
event, to use the patronage of the GO
vernment for the purpose of infiuenc-
ing the legislative action upon that or
any other subject, but would leave to
Congress the independent exercise OF
its constitutional functions, and reserve
to the Executive the full measure OF

l have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 18th

ing directly TO your interrogatories,
especially as my answer will only re-
quire reiteration of my wellmatured
opinions which have repeatedly been
expressed in my place in the Senate
and in the House of Representatives
and to my constituents at home.
While the series of measures, known
as the Compromise, was supported and

justly be claimed as party measures,

circumstances, to give them in the Sen

when assailed by my constituents, !
defended and vindicated the provisions
of each and all of those acts, and es-
pecially insisted upon the faithful exc

Of fugitives from labor. NV opinions
upon these questions have undergone
no change; and shall deem it my du.
ty, in whatever official position may
be placed, to exert all legal and consti
tuional authority to enforce the honest
execution of those, as well as all other
acts in pursuance of the constitution
Inasmuch as the constitution Of the
United States provides that mo person
held to service or labor in one State
under the laws thereof, escaping into
another, shall, in consequence Of any
law or regulation therein, be dischar
ged from such service or labor, bu
shall be delivered up on the claim o
the party to whom such service or la
Dor may be due,' it became the imper
itave duty of Congress to pass all law
necessary to carry that provision int
effect and no act calculated to rendel
that provision of the constitution in
operative, or to destroy or diminisl
the force of the existing laws for it
ful6lment, or to impair or obstruct th'
rights of the citizens Of any State un

On the Annexation of Canada.

WEST POINT, June 29, 1849.
Ny DEAR SIR: The news from the Par
lament of Great Britain this morning must,
l think, increase the discomfort of our
neighbors on the other side of the st. Law
renee and the lakes not little; Ind that
those discontents will, in few years, lead
to separation of the Canadas, New Bruins
wick, &c, DC, from the mother country,
seems equally probable.
Will those provinces form themselves in
to an independent nation, or seek connex-
ion with our Union? l think the probabil-
ity is greatly In favor of the latter. In
my judgment the interest of both sides
would be much promoted by the annexa-
tion-the several provinces coming into
the Union on equal terms with our present
thirty States. The free navigation of the
ST. Lawrence is already of immense impor-
tance to perhaps third of our present
population, and would be of great value
to the remainder. After annexation, two
revenue cutters below Quebec would give
us better security against smuggling than
thirty thousand custom-house employees
strung along the line that separates us
from the British possessions on the CONT
nent. 1 am well acquainted with that line,
and know great deal of the interests and
character of the proyincials. Though OPP
posed to Incorporating aciM as any districa
densely oeopled aciM the Merican race, i
should be most happy to .fraternize wiA
our northern and northeastern netgh6ors.
What may be the views of the executive
government ON the subject, know absolute
ly nothing; but think cannot err in say
ing that two-thirds of our people would
rejoice at the incorporation, and the other
third soon perceive its benefits.
Of course, l am opposed to any under
hand measures on our part in favor of the
measure, or any other act of bad faith to-
wards Great Britain. Her good will, in
my view of the matter, is only second to
that of the provincials themselves; and thai
the former would soon follow the latter
considering the present temper of Christen
dom, cannot be doubted.
| The foregoing views have long beer
in the habit of expressing in conversation
l give them to you for what they may bt
worth.
Faithfully yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT.

BIsGHAMroS, n. Y, May 90, 1852
Ny DEAR SIR: Your favor Of the l7tlf
suggesting that, amongst other names.
mine had been associated with the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency, and
propoundirg for my consideration certain
interrogatories, reached me last evening.
| have not at any time regarded myself
as candidate for the distinguished honor
mentioned, and. as presume is generally
known. early declared my preferences for
one of the eminent statesmen whose names
have long been conspicuously before the
public. Under these circumstances, / feel
some delicacy in publishing at this time
the opinions OF private citizen, though
none in expressing them.
1t is due as well to the kind partialiiy
which has presented the inquiries as to my
own determination, whether acting as
private citizen or public servant, TO prac-
tice no eyasions or concealments upon vital
questions, that an answer should be given
in spirit of frankness which becomes the
occasion, and ii is given accordingly 1
long since declared il to be my fixed Inten-
ton and purpose, in whatsoever station
the vicissifudes of life might place me, to
sustain. By any and every just means with
in my control, the measures Of adjustment
of 1850. believing their adoption as a
whole to have been wise, and their opera
ton salutary. regard it as the highest
duty and dearest privilege of the citizen
to cherish and preserve a Union of States
which has conferred such incalculable bles-
sings upon mankind and this can only be
accomplished by maintaining. in letter and
in spirit, the integrity of the constitution
That constitution provides for the resto-
ration of fugitiyes from service, and the
act of 1850 simply provides for its execu-
ton.
On the 28th Of February, 1919, While
discussing Mr.. Walkers amendment pro-
yiding for the temporary government Of
the Territories, said In the Senate
"They (the northern people, read. too.
in the constitution that fugitires held to
to service by the laws Of one State, esca-
ping into another, are to be delivered up
to the jurisdiction from whence they fed
not TO be ensIayed, if they are freemen, as
is he cant phrase of the times, but to have
their rights adjudicated by the laws Of the
State where the service is claimed. All
rejecting men must see and know thai i
is as much violation Of the letter and
spirit Of the constitution, IN the sight Of
God and in the Judgment Of men, 70 har-
Dor and secrete a fugitive from the laws Of
State which held him to service, Is to
shelter and protect fugitive from justice
and that the one is ne, less questionable IN
iexpediency or fragrant in morals tAan tne
other.
These provisions are clearly written i
our fundamental law, and he Who vio3asu
