and when it game up this year was postponed
That vas the mistake X the Senator The
law is exactly the opposite 81 what &c sup
posed.
Mr.. Mason said he saw no use OF the Re.
pnbicans Of Ohio refusing to repeal law
under which Marshals had been imprisoned.
MIR. Wade said the only law of Ohio was
copied almost entirely from the law of Vir-
GINA. Such u law ought not to be repealed.
lie saw no reason for compromise with any
thing Tns.s Is no organization in Ohio to
Interfere with laws. lie DIDN'T doubt but
slaves escaped, but there was no organized
company fer such purposes .
Mr. Masou said the Governor of Virginia
demanded Of the Governor of Ohio the sur
reno err Of fugitive who had committed mur-
der and arson in Virginia. The Governor
of Ohio refused to deliver him. It was one
of John Browns company.
Mr.. Wade said such refusal was not
psouliar 80 Ohio. 1t was o vcxed question
everywhere. -
Mt. Douglas said such cases were cemmon
to all States The Governor Of Virginia re.
fused to deliver fugitive to Pennsylvania.
He did not think such cases could form a
subject of complaint.
After further .ss.a-ks Mr.. Wade said that

Union must come from US. You who seek
to overthrow the Coastitution-who say you

Mr.. Mason explained the case in Virginia
1t occurred before there was any law ID the

trust he viii be found there after the 18th Of

Gen. CAMERON having Poremptoriy declined o

portion OF the Pennsylvania Delegation have pre-
sentcd the name of THAnDEUs STEVENS in his

Stevens il widely known as one OF the ablest-per-

MIA is among al our States the foremost cham

the declension Of Gen. Cameron preclude the
choice of another Cabinet officer from Pennsyl-
vania; but, il not, Mr. Stevens would seem 10 be

that the occasion demands that the response OF
the North be characterized BY other qualities

the North to return fugitive slaves more faith

stipuate for the civilized treatment of citizens OF
