From Montpelier.

MONTPELIER, Oct. 10th, 1856.
An able and exceedingly interesting debate arose
in the House to-day upon the bill prohibiting the
Use ofany Jail or prison in tais State for the deten-
ton Of any person claimed as a fugitive slave. This
bill wa. introduced by Mr.. Powers of Woodstock,
who has already introduced several important bills
and resolutions, and is one Of the most energetic,
active, and attentive Legislators who have ever
served the State. Indeed, many think him much
too active for the public good, and profess to fear
that his legislation is far too radical and sweeping
to be safe. Consequently it only requires that a
measure be proposed by DR.. Powers, to subject. it to
the most rigid scrutiny, and generally to the power
full opposition Of a combination Of several Of the
ablest men in the House. | do not assert or deny
the p~ropricty Of this course, but merely state the
obvious fact.
Tho bill referred to contained a Iroyiso that
nothing therein should be construed to prevent the
detention Of any person, So claimed, in any Jail OF
prison for the purpose Of securing him from the
possession Of the claiI ant,
This rroyiso was objected to by Mr.. Bradley Of
Brattlcboro' on the ground that it left TIE author.
l1ed use " the iails and prisons Of the State in too
loose and underlined a shape. lie claimed that it
recognized to a certain extent the power Of any
person to i~mrrison ono claimed by a southeruer a,
q slave aud to keep him there with no limitation Of
time, aud no direction as 10 the mode and strict
ness Of his Confinement, and that such a power 80
u~niofned and uncontrolled was exceedingly dan
serous. This view was seconded by Mcssrs. Kit
fridge ofTaithayeu, Merrill Of Montpelier, Stodlard
Of Waterford and stewart Of Middlebury, who,
together with Mr.. Hrad'ey, are gentlem en- Of the
legal profession Of fine attachments and legislative
ability.
1t was argued by these gentlemen that under this
Proviso the fugitive might only exchange his slave.
~ in the cotton FIELD or rice swamp for confinement
within the store walls ola prison, and tlat the
bill which ~profssed to be for tho relief Of the fu-
c,tiye slave might thus become in reality the instru.
ment Of his oppression. Nj. Merrill endeavored to
amend by providing that the detention Of the per-
s1n claimed must be under some Law Of Vermont, or
by virtue Of process is-uoi by some Magistrate cf
this State, in order to come within the meaning Of
the pToviso. M. Powers opposed the proposed
amendment, and spoke strongly in favor Of the bill
as introduced ly himself, lie insisted that the
pToyiso gave no 'igh to any person to i~mprison a
fugitive in order To secure him from the possession
Of the claimant that such right could only be con.
f,rrod by positive enactment but be justified tho
proyi,o on the ground that in case Of IN attemp
by a sou,herneT to recover a fugitive slave, som,
good persons might. with the desire of saving him
