der the name of Louisiana, which lies
north of thirty-six degrees and thirty
minutes, north latitude, notincluded With-
tin-the limits Of the State contemi lated by
| this act, slavery aud Involuntary seryitnde,
otherwise than in the punishment Of crimes
4 whereof the parties shall have been duly

prohibited. Prorided GEt0Gys, that any per-.
son escaping into the same, from whom
labor or serYice.is lawfully claimed, in any
/ such fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed,

crittendsn Compromise, 1861.
/. In all the Territories now or hereafter
acquired north of latitude thirty-six de.
| grees and thirty minutes, slavery or in
voluntary seryitude, except for the ppnish-
ment of crime, in prohibited; while in all
\ the Territory South ofthat latitude, slave
! ry is here recognized as existing, and
shall not he interfered with by, Congress,
but shall be protected as property by all
departments Of the Territorial government
| during its continuance. All the Territory
| North OF South of said line, within such
boundaries as .Congress may prescribe,
when it contains q population necessary
for member of Congress, With republic
can form of government, shall be admitted
on an equality with the original States,
with or without slavery, as the Constitu-
tiOn of the State thall prescribe.
2. Congress shall have no power to
abolish slavery in the States permitting
slavery. =
Congress shall have no power to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia while
it exists in Virginia and Maryland, or eth
er; nor shall Congress at any time prevent
the officers Of the government, or members
of Congress, whose duties require themto
live in the District of Columbia, from
bringing slaves there, and holding them as
such.
4. Congress shall have no power to
hinder the transportation of slaves from
one State to another, whether by land nav
| igible rivers, or sea.
| 8. Congress shall have power, by law
to pay an owner who shall apply the full
value for a fugitive slave in all cases
where the Marshall is prevented from dis
cmrgtng his duty by force or rescue made
after nrrest In all such cases the owner
shall have power to sue the county in
I which such rescue or violence was made,
the county shall have the right TO sue tho
individuals who committed the wrong in
| the same manner as the owner could sue
| 6. No further amendment or amendments
shall effect the preceding articles, and
Congress shall never have power to inter-
fere with slavery in the States where it is
now permitted. Hs
The last resolution declares that the
Southern States have right to the faith
fol execution of the laws for the recovery
of slaves, and such laws ought not to be
repealed or modified so as to impair their
efficiency. All laws in conflict with the
fugitive slave law it shall not be deemed
improper for Congress to ask the repeal Of
The fugitive slase law ought to be so al
tered as to make the fee of the Commits
siouer equal, whether he decides Cor or
against the claimant, and the clause au-
thorizing the person holding the warrant
| to summon posse cOnitdtnS to be so MS to-
restrict 1t to cases where violence or res
cue is attempted. The laws for the sup
| preston of the African slave trade ought
to be faithfully executed.
