SLAVERY GUARANTEES PROGRESSIVE.
Some time ago, we saw copied into a letter
Of Daniel Webster. and going the newspaper
rounds, resolution Of Congress, passed in
March. 100. as follows:
Reolr.d That Congress have NO authority to interfere
in tlc emancipation OF the slaves Zoo 1c treatment of
Thorn within amy Of the sotcs. It remaining with che scy-
cra states alone TO provide any regulation therein which
humanity and true policy may require.
Here, surely, if we will not examine 10 too
closely, is proof that the slaves were intend
ed 20 be left under a protection moro in ac-
cordanco with humanity and true policy
than the protection of the Constitution. But
while we are looking at the proof it shifts
about to the other side of tho question:
What prompted such a resolution Unqucs-
tignahly the slave interest why was it a.
doptcd at the moment when the Federal Com
stitution had just been adopted Or why did
it not appear under the old Confederation.
Because under the Confederation there was
no occasion for such a resolution When the
occasion came, the resolution. of course. fol-
lowed. What was the uccasiona twas the
adoption Of a Constitution securing liberty
to the people of the United States. As slaves
were part Of the people and not expires ly
excluded from constitutional protection. that
instrument must have looked dh0IHi0aih in
the eyes of shareholders. The resolution was
necessary in order to quiet alarms and infu-
cuce the national sentiment against federal
interference. Had the compromise been die
covered they would have answered the end
better.
But was not enough for slavery to be let
alone. Slaves would rum away m spite of the
resolution, and masters needed help in CATCH
ing them. The fugitive slave act of 1913, am
