II. WINTER DAVIS ON CONFIsCATION AND
EMANCIPATION.
BALTlNoas, Md, Jnns IS, 1907.

bAfTkOhBi Adt Jnne 10, ltoI.
UY DEAR SIN: 10 the basty note OF the 9th June
sogularly enough forgot 70 mention the most point
ed sud conclusive authority for conlsca,ion by emln-
cipation.
TIE laws Of the United States in the District Of
Columbia prohibited tho importation Of slaves for
sae or residence, declared the slaye imported Jree
and punished the importer by .Ene.
These iaws were adopted by CouNoss from the
laws Of Virginia aud Map land. They have been
repeatedly enforced ia bob those States. Every
gentleman rmcticing in The courts Of the Diirici
has enforced the freedom vee'ed ~ those laxs.
Lave nysef in more han instance successfully
deserted The claim before The courts q tho District
ard Vi Virginia, and the Supreme Couf has Su,-
tanned in rereated instances the validity o. the law
The most reoeot Case that recall Ii that OF Rhodes
VS.. Bel q Howard 3g7j. Decided III lSi.
Those age old laws passed in tho good cd tilne'
leioro men were en,irten with r4sdpe,a But The
Comproui.e acts Of IN. C1ay raseed in 1870, en-
Lody tLe same principle. TIE law Of 1850 forbid
ding the introduction of slaves into the istrici OF
COuubia for sale, declared the cave 30 imported
liberated and jtce. No gcnter hame than m'.
Clay can be cited on any conSIiiudonal question:
and tic name 0. President Fillmore ought s1rely 70
satisfy the most t.md u conservatives. New"
were laws more keepy contested. more graveiy con
.idercd, or adopted by abier men than the famous
Coupromiss a,,s Of 1885, and 1t would seem that 4"
Republican Congress might safely err 10 company
with The uen Of 1850. than De night with the doubt
iul friends or recent foes OF tue Republic in 1862.
These laws and ihese Judgments Of the Courts I'M
der them dispose Of the whoe question Of conlisca-
ton by emancipation, without indictment ana con
vicion of the guilty persoD but by civil process Oh
behalf Of the rsoa freed Tor the ussers illegal act

SXUBBED. Gen. Cotton, " Chairman Of
the Union Democratic State Central Com
mittee," hasA5dressed a letter to Senator
Van Dyke, "Chairman Of the O-party,
no.principle legislative caucus, in OppO-
sition to the recommended fusion with
the Republican party. The Republicans
made tools Of them they cannot make a
tool of Gen. Cotton. He says, rebuking-
ly, "the Republicans are incapable of ad
ministering the affairs of State" We
have abundant evidence Of the truth of
this statement. The present Legislature
will long be remembered for its worth.
lessness and extravaganza. Gen. Cotton
has no desire to fuse with party that is
daily growing weak and odious, and whose
acts cannot be justified. He thinks Dem
ocrats ought to unite to defeat it. Repub.
lican, neutral and nominal Democratic
journals are annoyed and exasperated at
his letter, and intimate that it was written
to conciliate and prepare the way for 4
fusion with the SecessiOnists- man
being Secessionist, in their eyes, who
opposes the Administration. They doubt
the loyalty Of Latham and McDougall,
solely because they adhere to the Demo-
