courage h!l,bnstcring, for territory could not be
acquired in that way.
He claimed that the Constitution recognised
slavery, and there was no need Of advocating
protectlon-ior protection was the plain duty Of
every Government He said the Senator from,
OHIO asked what the charges were, and they
would repeal few. One was that bands were
organized in the Free States to steal property in
the South.
Mr.. Wade asked for proof, he did not believe
a word of it.
Mr.. Powell said the underground railroad.was
well known. He spoke of a number of slaves
carried of. This if from foreign country
would be the cause of war; Personal liberty
bills are another cause of complaint; they are
clear violation OF the Constitution.
NJ WADE wanted some specific charge against
Ohio SO he could answer it. He was tired Of hear.
ing general charges.
Ne. Powell said the Governor of Ohio refused
to deliver up fugitives from justice. The Re-
publicans had elected President who declared
hat be would not vote to admit a slave State,
Notwithstanding the decision of the Supreme
Court.
Mr Trnmbull said this was directly the reverse
of what the Senator : id.
Mr. Powell said he would examine and fwrong
would strike it out of his speech. He had no
desire to do injustice. q
Mr Bigler said that Lincoln had said he would
vote sgainst allowing slavery in Territory.
Mr. Powell said that it amounted to the same
thing A
Mr. Trumbull read the answer of Lincoln, when
he said 81 did not now and never did stand
pledged against the admission Of Slave States
into the Onion {"
Mr.. Powell thought if we could not let slavery
90 into the territories, we could have no more
Slave States. Mr.. Powell continued, if ANYTHING
is done to save the Union, it must come from the
Republican side
Mr.. Wad, said the Senator from Virginia
(Mason) said that Ohio refused to repeal the per-
onai liberty law he (Wade) didn't believe
| Chic had any Law which unconstitutional
| He thought the Senator from Virginia was mis-
| taken The law framed last year gives further
| 'ccnrity TO free people, and when it came up
| this year. was postponed That was the mistake
Of the Senator The law is exactly the opposite
| of what he supposed.
Mr. Mason said he saw no use of the Repuhli-
cans of Ohio, refusing to repeal the law under
which Marshals had been imprisoned.
Mr. Wade said the only law Of Ohio was copied
almost entirely from the law of Virginia. Such
a law ought not to be repealed. He saw no rea-
on for compromise with any body--there is no
srganiaation in Ohio to interfere with law He
Old not doubt that slaves escaped, but there Was
do organized company FOR such purposes.
Mr. Mason SAID the Governor Of Va. demand
I'd cf the Governor of Ohio the surrender of
fugitive slave, who committed murder and arson
i'll Virginia. The Governor Of Ohio refused to
Ielivcr-it was one of John Browns company.
Mr. Wade said such refusal was not peculiar
to 0hio-it was vexed question everywhere
Mr.. Douglas SAID such cases were common to
all States. The first one WAS in 1871.
The Governor of Va. refused to deliver flu
gitivc to nsylvapia-did not think that such
cases could form subject of complaint now
After further remarks
Mr. Wade said that all complaints against Ohio
come back to one thing. They say all attempts
to save the Union mast come from You
who seek to overthrow the constitution; who
say you are about to rebel and wage war, should
give some specification where We have olfende |.
Mr. Mason explained the case. In Virginia it
occnrrcd before there was any law in the United
States on the subject. The Attorney General of
Virginia based his decision on the fact that
there no law authorizingthe arrest
