Much of what used to lie within his

what legislative functions, if any, he
fulfills. They may have heard that he
is the chief magistrate of the courts,

HISTORIC DOCUMENT FOUND
BY SON OF STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS
Petition from Many Noted Aboltionists to Have
the Union Dissolved, Sent to the
United States Senate in lS45

A document of great interest has
been placed in the hall of history at
Releigh, N. c., by Robert NJ Douglas,
son of Stephen A. Douglas, now on the
supreme court of that state, found it
among his fathers papers.
On the back of the document is this
Endorsement:
Massachusetts. Petition of Francis
Jackson and thirty-four others, inhabi-
tants of Massachusetts, for dissolution
of the union. February 8, 1916. referred
to committee on judiciary. Mr.. Adams
Judiciary"
1t is thus a petition filed with the
judiciary committee of the United
States senate. It's number is 230. The
petition is addressed to the senate and
the house of representatives of the
United States and reads thus:
1.-THE memorial and petition of the
undersigned inhabitants of the state of
Massachusetts respectfully represents
as follows:
THAT your memorialists, deeming
slave holding a heinous sin, and con-
WINGED that slavery ought to be imme-
diately and forever abolished look
upon the constitution of the United
States as enjoining obligations and du-
ties which are incompatible with allie
glance to God and with the enjoyment
of freedom and equal rights. The
clauses of that instrument to which
they refer are those relating to sup
preston of insurrection and granting
to the several states security against
domestic violence and that allowing the
recapture of fugitive slaves.
THE first of these, relating to repre-
sentation, confers on slave holding
community additional power for every
slave held among them, and thus
tempts them to continue to uphold the
system. 1t has introduced an aristo-
cratic element into the midst of our
republican institutions, and thus en-
ables slave holders to monopolize the
offices and dictate the policy of govern
ment; to prostitute the strength and
influence of the nation to the support
of slavery here and elsewhere to
trample on the rights of the free states
and make the courts of the country
their tools. In the words of distin-
guished statesman: 1T has made the
preservation, propagation and perpet-
uation of slavery the vital and Animal
ing spirit of the national government.
Those relating to insurrection and
domestic violence, though perfectly in
nocent in themselves, yet being made
with the fact distinctly in view that
slavery exists among us, deliberately
pledge the whole national force against
the unhappy slave If he initiates our
fathers and resists oppression, thus
making US partners in the guilt of sus-
tanning slavery.
THE last clause, relating to fugitive
slaves, is promise on the part of the

and to see that these laws are rigidly
enforced.
The cooperation of women's clubs
is sought and it is proposed to interest
school teachers throughout the coun-
try i'm the movement.
The union cites the figures to show
that hundreds of thousands of birds
are killed annually for their plumage
alone and that this wanton destruction
unless measures are taken to check it,
must necessarily result in the exter-
mination of many species of feathered
warblers within a short time.
