Mr.. President, all this trouble arises out Of the
Fugitive Slave Law. The transaction in which
we are engaged is by no means the 6rst act of
a new drama. You began here, in 1898, to ex-
tend into the free States, by the exercise of the
Federal power, the war of races-the war of the
master against the slave. The Fugitive Slave
Law which was then passed, became obsolete.
Though no great Inconvenience was sustained,
the pride of the slaveholding power was wounded.
In 1885, you paesed q new Fugitive Slave Law,
and connected it with measures designed to e1-
tend the Territorial jurisdiction of the United
States over new regions, without inhibiting Sia-
very. You were told at that time, az distinctly
as you are told tonight, that your new law could
not be executed, and would become obsolete for
the same reasons that the old law had become
obsolete; that the failure of the old law had ro-
suited, not from its want of stringency, but from
its too great stringency. You were told then, as
distinctly you are now told, that your new law,
with all its terrors, would fail, because, like the
old law, and more than the old law, it lacked the
elements to command the consent and approval
of the consciencee, the sympathies, and the Judg-
ments, of Free People.
The new law, however, was adopted, in def
ance of our protest that it was an act of Federal
usurpation, that it virtually suspended the writ
of habeas corpus that it unconstitutonally denied
a trial by jury, and that it virtually commanded
judgment of perpetual Slavery TO be summarily
rendered, upon sr pdrte evidence, which the party
accused was not allowed to refute in the due and
ordinary course of the common law. You adopt
ed new and oppressive penalties, in answer to all
these circumstances; and, under threats and
alarms for the safety of the Union, the Fugitive
Slave Bill received the sanction of the Congress
of the United States, and became law That
was the second act. When murmurs and loud
complaints arose, and remonstrances came in
from every side, you resorted to an old and much
abused expsdient. You brought all the great
political parties in the United States into Goa
lition and league to maintain this law, and every
word and letter of it, unimpaired, and to perpet-
uate it forever. All your other laws, although
they might be bene6cent, and protective of human
rights and OF human liberty, could be changed,

ana even every mldshlpman, Will De independent
of State authority, and, when prosecuted before a
Magistrate or Court, in the immediate vicinage
where his offence is committed, win defy the
party aggrieved, and remove the action COM
menced against him into a Federal tribunal
whose terms are rarely held, and then in remote
and practically inaccessible places. One-half of
the power residing in the States is thus to be
wrested from them at single blow, and they
will henoeforth stand shattered monuments of
earlier greatness.
No such change as this was anticipated by the
trainers of our Federal and State Constitutions.
They established the Federal Constitution chiefly
for the protection of the whole country against
foreign dangers. They gave to it stronger Ex-
ecutive than they gave to the States, respectively
They established the State Constitutions chiefly
for the protection and defence of personal rights.
They knew that this Central Government would
grow stronger and stronger, and would ultimately
become An imperial power. 1t has realized that
expectation and has become even Continental
Power. Hitherto, the citizen has enjoyed his
double safeguard. Why shall one-half of his
panoply be now torn away from him? What
lawful and proper object of the Federal Govern
ment has failed to be obtained by reason of the
exercise of jurisdiction by State authorities over
officers of the United States7 None. Why, then,
shall the ancient law and custom be changed
Is there danger that the citizen will be too Sc
cure under the double protection of the State
Courts and Of the Federal Courts2 That was
not the doctrine of the earlier days, and that is
not sound doctrine now.
demand, in the third place, q reason for this
innovation. In reply, you urge, first, prece-

drawing from the State Courts certain actions

Of that departure. Nor can you show that the
innovation thus made, and which you now plead
as pFsesdent, was necessary. We are always

KErosuA MANuFACTUREs.

Whatever question our nelghbors may
make as to the quantity of our manufac'
lures they furnish sufficient evidence that
they appreciate the quality. We suppose
beyond dispute that the best wagons, plows
&c, are made here, that are manufactured
along the fake shore. a few days since we
happened to notice couple of Racine ctl-
zens purchasing plows from the establish
ment Of Balm & Brother, for which cash was
paid, to be used on their farms in the I'M
mediate neighborhood of Racine. and W"
are informed that such purchases are not
rare. 1t happens for the very obvious rea-
son sthat the quality is better than they get
at home. We are glad to be able to ac-
eommodate them.
