So satisfactory were those provisions to tlu* framers of
the constitution, that the second, relating to the delivery
of fugitive slaves, vv a* adopted unanimously, white the
rest, » xcept the third, relative to the importation of
slaves, and to prolong the time from IStM) to |8*w, pa *«*i|
with almost equal iiuau nity ; and even that was mi*-
tinned by the votes of Now Hampshire, Massiichusett*,
and ('nnneetieut.
The prox ision.* of the constitution aflect the -'vi-lenre
of slavery in the Union which was about to Is* Iona- I.
and make a specific proxisioii for its protection, where it
wa* sup|Niscd to Is* most cxiioscd. They go further;
they tecoguise slavery as an elementary principle of tin*
constitution, regulating or inlliieucing the goveriim-nl
created by it in the most important |nirticulurs of r* p-
resentation and taxation. Whoever wdl examine lie*
records of the proceedings of that day, will lie perfectly
satisfied that these prov ision* thus intended to Is- con - rv •
alive of the domestic iii-titutions of the South, were
itidis|ieii*ahle to the adoption ot the constitution ; iliiit
without it thi* l'nion could never have existed. The
debates of the convention show that this was perfectly
understood by tho representatives from the non-Hnxe-
holding States; and that with thisumler*tauding. they
ratified the constitution. The act of ratification wa.* a
solemn pledge f«»r theni-ejve*, and in Is-hnlf of their con
stituent.*, for the observance ot these stipulations, accord
ing to their letter and spirit. How far that | ledge has
been redeemed, is an inquiry not to lie answered by de
nunciation of the conduct of any jiortioii of our cotiu'ry-
inen. It is a simple narrative of events which we ll r
to your con*idcnitioii. by the |»ru*ai ot which our f I
low-citizen*, in whatever |iorti<>n of the I nion tlicv may
dwell, may decide for themselves the questionof itsob
servance or violation.
For thirty year* after tin* adopli in of the cou titiition
these prov isiotis were so fur re-|M-;*ted us to give no seri
ous cause of complaint to anybody, Fussing for tie*
present the pretentions set forth, and the agitations cre
ated by the Mi-soiiri controversy, we proceed to con*'der
the prov ision in relation to fugitive slaves, it* ojieraii'M,
and the resistance w hich it has Ik:hii doomed to encounter.
That pruvi*ion js jn the following word*; ** .No j#*r-oj)
helH to service or Inlxjr in one State, under the law.*
thereof, escaping into another State,shall, in consequence
of any law or regulation therein, he discharged from
such service or labor, but shall lie delivered up on claim
of the person to whom such labor or service maybe
due.” Thi* provision is clear. There is not an uncer
tain or equivocal word to li<* found in it. What shall Is*
and what shall noils* done are fully and distinctly *et
forth. It provide- that the fugitive slave shall not Isj
discharged from his servitude, but shall be delivered up
0 i the claim of hi* owner. This constitutes an essential
1 ot tiie constitutional compact—i« part and pared of
t.ie supreme law of the land. As*udi, it i* binding on
t'i«* fedeml and State govrninent*, on th** States, and
on all the individuals composing them. Tho ram.* I o!i-
i nion of compact, and the solemn injunction of the
supreme law, which legislator- and judg**.*-. both f**d *ral
and State, are hound hv oath to siipp *rt, all unite t*• en
force its fulfiiltn*'iit, according to it.* plain iivanitig and
it.* true intent. A* to what that meaning and intent are.
there wan no diversity of opinion in the earlier day* of
the nqmhlic. Congress, the State legMature*, fe feral
and State judges, and magistrates, all *(siritaucoti*}y
placed the same interpretation on it. During that |**-
riod, none interposed iiiqiediments in the way of the
master, seeking to recover Ins fugitive slave; nor did
any deny Ids right to have ev>*ry proper facility for tie*
eiitor* einonl of his claim to have, him delivered up. It
was tlien aim i>t a- ea>y to recover one found in a non-
siaveholditig Stat**.a- one found rn a neigldeiring slave-
holding State. But tliis-slate of thing* ha* passed away,
and, to all practical puriMi-e*, the provision may he said
to be almost defunct. Now, when we take into con-id-
erutcin the iuiportnuce of thi* provision and tie* (dear
ness with which it is expressed, vve submit to all tho-c
to whom we ad .ire?.- ourselves, in whatever portion of
the Fnion they may dwell, that any evasion of it is alike
injurious and nnjii-tifiahle. This idea cannot ls*m »m
correctly, concisely, and impre-sivelv stated, than in the
language of two of the iudge.* of the Supreme Court. In
the case of Friggs t*. the Common wealth ofFenn*ylva-
nia, Judge Story said : " Historically, it is well known
that the object ot this clause was to secure to the citi
zens of the ilaveholding Slates tic: complete right and
title of ownership in their slave*, an pro|s*ny, in every
State of the I'limn int» which they might escajs* fr *ni
the State wherein tb *y vv re held in servitude. The
full recognition of thi. right and title wa* indiKpeU'uhle
to the security of thi- spii-of pr»|ierty in all the slave-
holding State* : and, indeed, was *o vital tu the pre-er-
vatiori of their inter.uud i • i* t it ut {oiks ( that it can. ml

holding States, by prove.itintr tliein IV-nn intermeddling
xvjtli, or restricting, or aliolishing the right* of the own
er* of the slaves.”

A RARE CHANCE I
T HE subscriber wishing to dl«»*e bis business in Co-
luinhu*, offer* for sale, at ft great bargain, a mag
nificent Her/ Gruntt Pinno, which tnay iw seen at
his office on Randolph street. *
An impression having somchMo got abroad that the
above mentioned instrument was not a genuine ‘‘Herz,”
1 applied to Mr. Hera for information on that point. Here
is hi* answer:
New York, Oct. 20th, 1818.
Da. O. P. Laird—Dear Sir:—In reply to yotiren-
quirie* respi*cting the grand Piano that I sold to Mr. II
Bern re titer of Columbus, Ga.,1 have to say, it is
my factory at Paris, and I consider itn first rate instru
metit, one of tiie best. Your fih’tserv’t,
(Signed,) HENRI HERZ.
The iudivicinal who '•rented said impression having
been iu the habit of edifying hi* “customers and the
public generally,.’ with a story about Mr. Ilerz having
borrowed one ot Chickering’s grand Pianos for his
certs in Boston, arid acknowledging that they were
ter than his own ; and having now pul the same—or the
substance thereof—in print in the shape of nn advertise
ment—considering such statement calculated to pre;
vent tin* snle of my Piano, I feel constrained to
t.Hikoccasion,at the date of the above certificate, to
ask Mr. Herz whether it was true, as I had heard as
serted in Columbus, that lie had played on one of Chick-
ering’s Pianos at his concerts in Boston, 1 n preference to
hi* own ; to which In* replied that “ out of compliment
to hi* friend Mr. C. Iu* did, on one occasion consent to
play on one of his (Chickeriitgs) Pianos, leaving his
oxvn in New York.” Such is Mr. Herz’s account of an
act of courtesy on his part, which has been so ungener
ously perverted. I give his own words, and quite agree
with Mr. B. that “ he oti!*hl to know.”
