Mr. WADE eaid that the Senator from Vrginia
Msson had said that the Legislature Of Ohio had re-
fused 10 repeal an unconstitutional law. lie d lot

and be thought the Senator was mistaken. The law
framed last year gives further security TO free co9red
poIe. and when il came up this year before the Leg
islature il was postponed. That vas mistake of the
SENATOR as the law was exactly opposite to what he
Mr.. MASON said that the Honse Of Representatives
Of Ohio had refused repeal law under which United
States Marshals had been imprisoned:
Mr.. WADE said the only law OF Ohio on the sub
iect was copied almost entirely from the law OF Fir-
ginia, and such law ought not to be repealed. lie
(Wade) saw no reason to compromise with anybody.
There IL no organization in Ohio TO interfere with the
laws He did not doubt there were escaped slaves In
Ohio, but he denied that there was any organized CON-
pany to aid them in escaping.
Mr.. MASON DEM, Val said that the Governor OF
Virginia made demand on the Governor OF OHIO to
surrender fugitive who had committed murder aud
in Virginia, and the Governor of Ohio refused to
deliver bin up. Tue fugitive was one Of John Browns
company.
Mr.. WADE said such refusal was not peculiar to
Ohio. II was q yexed question everywhere. Ia ref

such a case in Kentucky. The Governor OF Kentucky
could not have refused the ground OF kidnapping as
that was not oHense in Kentucky. If the Governor
did refuse, he did wrong.
Mr.. DOUGLAS said that he had traced some Of
these CAGES and found them to all the States.
The first was in 1871, when the Governor Of Viz
gna refused to deliver up fugitive 10 Pennsy vana.
The Governor of Pennsylvania sent the parties to Gen.
Washington, who was then President, a0d he sent
them the Senate. Since then, there had been vari-
csses He did lot think this could form subject
Of cOmrlynt now.
Mr. MASON said tho case in Virginia occurred be-
fore there was any law respecting the delivery Of ug
tives by Congress But if the Senators think that the
conumey, and injury and insult heaped on the slave
holding States for the last twenty years IL 10 be APP
peased by claiming TO go back to the first wrong, let
tlem have the benefit Of the argument. 1 will not
pre- sent bill Of indictment. The history Of the
try shows the wrongs the saveholdng States havo re-
ceyed and they will determine for themselves whether
eir interests and safety will permit them to remain
In the Union.
NJ. DOUGLAS said ho simply wished TO show,
owing the constitution Of the law referred to- there
WAS not clear case of its violation by the Northern
Stateg.
Mr. WADE said that Ill the complaints against Ohio
back TO thing They cay all the attempts to
save the Union cone from You who seek to over
throw the Constitution and who say you about to
rebel aud wage war, should give some specification
wherein We have offended.
Mr.. MASON explained that the ease in Virginia oc-
cured before any law OF the United States on the sub
iect and the Attorney General OF Virginia based his
decion on the fact that there was law authorizing
tie arrest. Adjourned.
