HAS CONGRESS CONSTITUTIONAL POWER
TO PASS A FUGITIVE-SLAVE LAW.

To the Edihr Of The " Y TrtbzHe
SIR: The legislative power of Congress Is founded
upon the express grant in the Constitution, subdivision
II, section &, article !:
The Congress 'hsil have power 49,. Up to make al
caon the foregoing power. and other vested BY
ts Constitution the Government Of the UGited States or IN
sly department or ofhcsr Thereof"
This language limits the legislative power Of Con.
gess to the passage Of necessary and proper laws for
carry ing into execution certain enumerated powers,
and such others as the Constitution itsef vests in the
Government of the United States, in any depart
ment or officer thereof.
Now let us Iecur TO the provision respecting fugves
from labor, and whether il contains any express
authority 10 legisate, or vests any power IN the Gov
eminent or in any department or officer Of the Gov
ermen:
No person held service or labor in State under the
laws thereof escaping smother shi In Of
law or reggl.on therein be dschns.d from such service
sb bot shall be delivered mp on claim Of the party to whom
such service or sbor may be due"
Is this grant Of legislative power, ia terms, TO Con
yr6ss IL l. enlargement Of any power elsewhere
granted Does II vest any power in the Government
q The United States, or in any department or officer
OF the Govern meni, so es 10 make law ne essary and
proper for carrying II into execution Has the Fed
eral Legislature any right TO exercise powers not
graz ted upon preense that the as Lsuse Of this sr
cle contemplates legislative action In short, has
Congress the constitutional power 10 pass Fugitive
Slave Law
In considering this question. allow me to draw your
attention TO the Circumstances connected with the hs
tory of the law of 1923 which deserve 10 be more gen
orally known than they are, and throw some Sht 90
the causes Why egisls i've power was originally
assumed and tie assumption permitted without dis
Iu;e And first, it ia wen to know and TO remember,
Tia, Congress was not aked by any State, by the
reople Of eny State to interfe Q in this matter No
petition was presented from any quarter for the law
n 1871. shortly after the organization Of the Federal
Government, three persons, residents of Virginia,
were indicted in PenDsy " sns for kidnapping negro
and carving him into Virginia. The Governor Of
Pennsylvania under that provision Of the Constitution
recurring persons charged With crime 10 be delivered
up on demand of the executive authority OF the State
from which they fed, made demand on the Go nor
Of Vim mia for the surrender aud delivery OF In PEI
sons. The Governor of Virginia referred the msr'er
