Why the Word Slave is not Used In the
United States Constitution.
Mr. Millson, of Virginia, in the course of a
speech in Congress on the 21st of January
last, said:
I have heard it said by members of the Re
publican party that the framers of the Consti
tution refused to use any terms that would
indicate a recognition of the right of proper
ty in man ; that they excluded the word Slave
or Slavery, from the Constitution, because of
their relutance to disclose the fact there was
any such personal relation Acknowledged or
established by the laws of any of our States.
Sir, such an argument does great injustice
to the framers of the Constitution. They were
moved by no such sentimentalism. It is a re
proach to them, to say that they were so in
tensely hypocritical that they were not asham
ed to do what they were ashamed to talk
about. It is an aspersion upon them to sup
pose that they were so intensely hypocritical
as to consent to the continuance of the Slave
trade for twenty years, with all its attendant
horrors and atrocities, and yet, like timid
maidens, to shrink from tho words “ Slave,”
and “ Slavery,” as recognizing property i«a
human being9. No, sir, they had strongor
and better reasons for the adoption of the lan
guage they put in the Constitution. They
knew—and the gentleman from Ohio, (Mr.
Corwin,) Las relieved me from much of the
discussion by the able and lucid manner in
which he has illustrated this subject to-day—
they knew the word Slave, or Slavery, was a
word of vague and indefinite signification,
having a variety of meanings.
Had they used tho word Slave, it would
have led to infinite cavil and dispute as to the
precise meaning intended. Some Abolition
ists might have argued that it did not apply to
Africans held to servitude under the laws of
Virginia and Maryland ; that a negro sorvant
escaping from his master, was not such a Slave
as the Constitution required to be delivered
up, because the master had not the power of
life and death over him, as under the Roman
law, which authorized the master to take tho
life of his Slave. They might have argued,
moreover, that the word Slavery, in the Con
stitution, was one, and to be taken in one
•ense alone, that is, that two different inter
pretations could not be given to it; and, there
fore, if the laws of domestic servitude in South
Carolina differed from those in Virginia, the
word Slavery might bo applied to one or the
other of them, but it could not be applied to
both, because you oould not give different in
terpretations to the same word. The framers
of the Constitution, then, sir, wisely substi
tuted a description for a word. They said
persons held to service or labor under the
laws of any State.” It embraced every kind
of servitude. It comprehends the servants of
Virginia, of North Carolina, of South Caroli
na, of Georgia, and of all tho States. It ex
cluded all cavil and all doubt. But they were
guilty of no such miserable hypocrisy as that
sometimes attributed to them—that they wero
uuwilling to introduce into the Constitution
any phrase which might imply that there could
bo property in mau.
To insist that they are persons, as well as
property, is to take the highest position on
which the South can rest her claims. To say
that they are property, and nothing but prop
erty, is not true in any sense of the word.—
It is not true in physics; it is not true in mor
als ; it is not true in religion ; it is not true in
politics. A slave is a mpn. He is a respon
sible man ; responsible to our laws, responsi
ble to God. He is a person ; a person held to
service ; and it is because he is a person that
the position of the South before this Congress
and in the Constitution is impregnable. I
nay it is beoause he is a person that gentlemon
of the Republican party are forbidden to pass
a law prohibiting his emigration into the Ter
ritories. As mero property you might set up
a plausible claim to exclude bitn. Ay, as
mere property there would be a color of argu
ment in favor of his exclusion ; but as a per
son, a person held to service, a man holding a
personal relation to another, a member of the
household, a part of the family, you have no
more right to exclude him from ttie privilego
of going into the Territories with his master
than you have to exclude a wife from going in
to the Territories with her husband. The
wife, too, by law, owes serviee and labor to
the husband. The relation existing between
husband and wife is the relation established
by the laws of the Stales ; and the gentleman
from Ohio cannot say that these are laws
which are looal, and do not extend beyond the
limits of the States where they were enacted ;
beoause the same argument would force him
to the conclusion that it is within the power of
Congress to exclude from a Territory a wife
bound to her husband under the laws of any
State, and that a husband cannot carry a wife
occupying that relation with him into the
Territories, because the law under which that
relation was established or rceognized does
not extend beyond the territory of the Stale in
which it was snaoted.
And permit me, sir, to sty that, If they
were property, and nothing but properly, they
would not be represented in Congrees; for
there ie no dteoriptlon of property represent
ed ia Congress as property—neither lande, nor
money, nor stocks, nor any other kind of prop
erty. If they were property, and nothing but
propertr, then we deprive ourselves or the
right of representation of three-fifths of their
whqle number, exoept upon the eondition that
an equal representation be given to property
of an equal tains ia tha ether States of the
Union.
