iklivtrtd in the Senair of the L’uiitd State* Jan
uary 25, IRCtL
The .Senate hating under considers lion the re
solution offered by Mr. Doiui.as, directing the
Judiciary Committee to repot t a bill lor tiie pro
tection of each State and Territory against inva
sion by the authorities and inhabitants of every
other State and Territory—
Mr. TOOMBS said;
Mr. I’fikMiiFxT and S.vxATons: The lerishitloa
proposed t*_v the resolution on your table opens,
anew page in the history of our country. Such
legislation cleat ly tails wkhin the constitutional
powers of (’ongress, and is a step in the riche di
rection. 1 accept it as au effort to enable the Fed
eral Government to p. rform iis duty on ihis s-u‘>-
j ct by preserving pence among these confederate
Stat s. 1 *itf, sir, i fear that the disease lies too
deep Jet the remedy.* But il is suggestive, and fur
bishes a biand-poitil front which we niav well sur
vey the stale ol thoiiepublic—its pas-t, it* present
and its fulitie. Hitherto this Government has been
eii.it>l<-d to grafij le wi.h and Burmount all the diffi
culties, foreign or domestic, which have impeded
its course or threatened itssalely. lntieotl, trefot e
the adoption of tiie present Constitution—in fact,
before the adoption ol any Ted* ral Government
whatever, the spirit ot nationality, a common in
terest, a ooriHUGU danger; carried the country near
ly through the ar ot the Revolution. The Arti
cles ot Confederation were not adopted bv all the
States, and “vie not h-gaily bind rug on nnv State
until the Ist March, l .bl, which was within eight
months ol the biillmut, termination of The hostifi-
Ities jit Ta: k’own. Very soon alter the organiza
ition of our existing Government, fierce and earn
est patty struggles began; men’s passions were
deeply arou-evi; but- nouo tell that the State was
in danger. They were then mere party questions;
men then divided on the policy of Jay’s troaty,
alien and sedition laws, acquisition of new territory,
the embargo, war v.ith G:e.*t Ciitian, French alli
ance, tanrts, curieucy, and intcruut iinpiovements
tiy the Federal Governmeuts. Sonieol these ques
tions weie ot deep importance to society. Nome
of them rose to the uignity of consututioHul ques
lions ; but none ot tuem involved the existence or
pci main nt solely ol society; and when submitted
to the arbitrament us the ballot-box, all men ac
quiesced quietly in the result, because tiie funda
mental principles of the social fabric were not af
fected by the iexult-
Now, ai\ this mta changed. The feeling of na
-I’an nitty, of loyally to the State, the feeling of a
common interest and a common destiny, upon
w hich foundations alone society can securely and
permanently rest, is gradually but rapidly nns.-ing
away. Hostility to the compact of Union, to the
tie which binds us together, animate the bosoms,
and finds utterance m the tongues of millions of
our countrymen, and leads to the habitual disre
gard of its plainest duties anil obligations. Large
bodies ol men now feel and know that party sue
cess involves public danger ; that the result niav
bring us face to face with revolution. Senators,
we al! feel it in this chamber; we hear it proclaim
ed here every day ; we hear it proclaimed daily in
the other branch of Congress; we hear it from
Stite Legi.-l ilttte-', from the pulpit and the press,
und from popular •ssetubltes throughout tiie length
and bread;!i of this brand land. Impotent threats,
such at were made yesterday by the Senator from
Maine, will not fittest its onward march. I,He
gasconade, such as was used by the Senator from
lowa, and, 1 think, by the Senator from Illinois,
(Mr. Trumbull,) and their associates in this and
the other House of Congress, to put it down by
the strong arms of their constituents, will not ar
rest its advance. 1 would only suggest to them
thut it may bo wide to reserve their boasting until
they are returning from the bailie—Loving wisdom
cautious even the brave against using them in go
ing iuto balile. The public danger can only be
averted bv the removal of its real cause.
These causes are plain, palpable, apparent to the
lowest comprehension. The timduniental principles
of the gystem of our social I’nion are assailed, in
vaded!, and threatened with destruction ; our an
cient rights and liberties are in danger; the pence
and tranquility of our homes have been invaded
by lawless violence, and their further invasions is
imminent; the instinct of self-preservation arouses
society to their defence. These are the causes
which are undermining, and which, if riot good ar
rested, will overthrow the UepubQv. The effect of
this state ol public affairs is so well purtraved by
an eminent English writer, that I will take the lib
erty of jquming a paragraph from him. I read
from Mr. Mill, on the Logic of the MoralScienees,
page 682 :
“The second condition of permanent political
society has been fouttd to be in existence, in some
form or oilier, of the feeling of loyalty. This feel
ing may vary in its objects, and is not confined to
any particular form ot government; but whether
in a democracy or iu a monarchy, its essence is al
ways the same; namely, that there be in the con
stitution ot ihe State Sotnrlhiny which is settled,
something permanent snd not to be called in ques
tion; something which, by general agreement, has
a fight to be v.here it is, and to be secure against
disturbance, whatever else may change.” * *
* * “A stale never is, nor until mankind
are vastly improved can hope to be, for any long
time exempt from internal dissolution; for there
neither is nor has ever been any state of society
in which collisions did not occur between the im
mediate interests and passions of powerful sections
of the jicrple. What, then,!iendt)les society to
weather these storms and pass through turbulent
times without any permanent, weakening of the
ties which hold it together* Precisely this—that,
however important the interests about which men
(all out, the rontiict does lint affect the fundamen
tal principles of the system of social union which
happens 10 exist; nor threaten large portions of
the community with the subversion of that on
which they have bmlt their calculations, and with
which their hopes, and aims have become idculi
tid. Rit w iit-n the questioning of tiieae tunda
mental principles is (not an occasional disease, but)
the habitual conditiou of the body politic, and
when all the violent animosities are called forth,
which spring naturally from such a situation, the
State is virtually iu a position of eivil war, and
can never long remain free from it in act and
fact.”
That, tir, ia our condition to-day, Wa are vir*
tunlly, in civil war, und .hese arc the causes of it.
1: le Known aud felt on the floor. I feel and know
that a Urge body of these Senators arc enemies of
my country. I know they and their
have used the power which has been placed in their
; ha lids by many of theStulea, to assail ami destroy
: tiie institutions f tliese confederate tilates. 1
know that under color of the liberty of speech,
eveh iu these Halls, day by day, and year after
year, they have thundered iheir denuneiairon
; against slavery and slaveiiolders, against eonlcd
!< rules aud their insiuutions, ami thus seek lo up
\ ply the torch to our homestead.*, and to de#yl<ue
our Und with s/rvillc aud inieiHccine war. Sir,
(tiie present state ot things is no fot'gercompatible
with our secuiity nor our honor. Wc* demand
pence or war. AS’c pixtler peace; we have sought
it-thrcmgli peaceful ciuuiuei*; but thotigh the road
|to it shall lead through war, we intend to have it.
We do out charge litesc wiougs against the Fed
eral (fo.giiuncMt. There has been no lime, si tree
; il* establishment, when it lias been trwei toilsobh
jgallons, mote Euibful to the Constitution, than
1 within the list seven years, lie executive aud yu
|dicial departments have hi mlv ii.aintuiued the tun-
JdamOirli-l law in ttlulion to these great questions ;
and the legrslalive Ovpaitment has appioximated
the same suiid.ird nearer than al any outer period
of our hieiory within the last forty yraisj. And it
is because ol this tniadiry to it* duly that it is ha
bitdany denounced by a coalitiou in this Country,
which is seeking to control ii, with iutenl lo make
it subservient to their treaeberoos put[>oses. It is j
the duty of ail patriotic citizen* tu upliohi it, and j
project it against such prostitmimi. 1 s(cak to po j
Wall as a partisan. 1 feel but Small concern about
mere party success, l'nese questions rise lar above
so igi.oide a standard, I would that all good men
of every party, would unite and rally around the
Constitution, and deieud this last buiw&ik of tia- .
tionui Safety against these public enemies.
These public tiiemies arc Abolitionist* who have |
formed a coalition will) all the waifs and strays— ‘
desert *rs ut all former political parlies—and the j
better lo conceal their real purposes have assumed 1
llie name of the Republican pai'y. This coalition |
hua but one living, animating principle or bond of !
union, and that is hatred of tl.e ]teop)e and insti
tutions ot tiie slave holding Stirtes of tiie Union, — j
This coalition lias evinced, by its acts, its declara- !
lions, u fixed und determined purpose, iu spite of j
the Coiißtituiiou, in spite of solemn engagements
to obey and maintain it, aud iu spite of all the
obligations which rest on every member of every
civilized Suite to the limit, to restrain, anil finally
to subvert, the institutions ol fifteen fSialea of the
Union.
Sir, I know these are strong charges; I have
not made them lightly. I speak in sorrow, not in
anger ; I inuke them with pain, not pleasure. I
feci it a duty J owe :o my country, to my whole
country, to speak the truth plainly, that the peo
ple may know and perchance avert the public cal
amity. I feel deeply the obligation which rests
j upon me to sustain them by clear irrefragable
proofs before the Senate, the countiy, aud the
civilized world; to that duty I now proceed.
I charge, first, that the organization has annull
ed and made ot none effect a fundamental princi
ple of the l omffitution of the United States iu
many of the States of this Union, and has endeav
ored, uud is endeavoring, to accomplish tiie same
result iu all ihe non slavebolding States.
Second. 1 cnarge it with openly attempting to
deprive the people of the slaveholding States of
their equal enjoyment of, and equal tight in, the
common territories of the United States, as ex
pounded by the Supreme Court, and of seeking to
get the control of the Federal Government, with
the intent to enable it to accomplish tiiis ieault by
the overthrow of the Federal judiciary.
Thirdly. I charge that laige number of persons
belonging to this organization are daily committ
ing offences agaiust, the people and property of
these confederate States, which, by the laws of na
tions, are good and sufficient causes of war even
among independent States, and Governors and
Legislatures of States, elected by them, have re
peatedly eommittea|aitnilar acts.
Now, lor these causes, 1 maintain that this coali
tion is unfit lo rule over a free people; and its
possession of the Federal Government ia a just
cause of war by the people whose safety is thereby
put in jeopardy.
The third clause of the second sectioii of the
fourth article of the Constitution reads as fol
lows :
“No person held to service or labor in any State
under the laws thereoi, escaping into another,
shall, in eonseqneuce of any law or regulation
therein, be discharged from such service or labor,
but shall be delivered up oil claim of the party to
whom such service or labor may be due ’’
The second seetiou of rhe sixth article says :
“This Constitution, and the la*vs of the United
States which shall be made in pursuance thereof,
and all treaties made, or which shall be made, un
der the authority oi the United State, shall be the
supreme law of the land, and the judges iu every
State shall be bound thereby, any tiling ia the con
stitution or laws of any State to the contrary not
withstanding.”
* This is (he Constitution. It is plain ; it is dis
tinct. It needs no commentary ; nnd if it did,
such commentary is to be found in the words of
the fathers who put llie provision there. I have
them before me. They are known of all men.—
she principle did not originate m the Constitution.
It has been a fundamental principle of society
for thirty centuries. It is to tie found, also, iu
the ordinance oi 1787, an ordinance called by
this organization which cirooSes to usurp the
name ot the Republican party, a sacred ordinance,
it is iu Uie sixth clause ot that act. It was iu the
very section which declared that slavery or invol
untary servitude, except for crime, should never
exist in the Northwest Territory, which was put
there, in a moment of weakness, by tiie old Con-
federation.
Those hypocrites, who affect almost to ascribe
Divine origin to this ordinance, under which they
have been protected ami admitted as equals to the
Government, are the first to evade, douy, and
elude so much of its obligation as is not conforma
ble lo their ignorance and narrow prejudices.—
They use the liberty wherewith we have clothed
them to bring shame and reproach on themselves
and an empire ot freemen. But, as I have said,
this sound principle of public polity had ail older
origiy than the ordinance of 1787. In the con
federation of the New England States, it wasadop
ted as their public law. 1 will merely udvert to
the authority. My voice will not allow me to read
it all. It is apparent that the act of 179 H was aL
most a transcript of that agreemeut. it cer
tainly was its toundatiou ; for of
ideas and language could not be accidental. The
New F.nglnnd Senators who drulted and voted lor
the act of 17'.1S could not have been ignorant of
their own act of 11148. This is that act:
“it is also agreed, that it any servant ruu away i
from his master into any of these confederate ju
rtsdictions, that in such case, upon certificate of
one magistrate iu the jurisdiction out of which the
said servant lied, or upon oilier due proofs, the said
servant shall be delivered cither to his master or
any other that pursues and brings such certificate
or ptooi.” il tnihropK Xew Knefiattd, volume 2,
pp. 104. 103.
The l'untuii fathers required less evidence to de
liver up a fugitive trom labor than a fugitive from
justice by one half. For the delivery of a fugitive
from justice, they required the ceiliticate of two
magistrates. Who these servants were, I refer
you, lor further iuiormation, to that portion of the
history ot New Knglaudin which you will find that
humane Indian intercourse law under which they
made reprisals on the “salvages” lor the wrongs
they did Christians, by eeiziug these “salvages,”
(though tti ir officers were directed to be sparing
of sei/dng women and children ,*) exporting audex
changingdtliein for “ocagers.” These prudent l’u
ritana had not studied Nott and Gliddoti, or Mor
ton, or Agu.'sir. on the diversity ot races, but ex
perience had taught them the superiority of the
“ncager” over the Indian as su available opera
tive; theretorc they ‘e.r/mrltd the Indian and im
ported the African.
The act of Congrers of 17iKi, to surrender fugi
tives iiotil Labor, came lor adjudication before the
Supreme Court, and was there sustained. It was
decided to be constitutional by every State court
in viie tinted Slates up to trie passage of the act
of any exception, it was not only
affirmed in the casq oi I'rigg us. Pennsylvania, by
the Supreme Court of Uie United State; not only
atthmtd to be a cousiitimonal law by every judicial
officer of the Ft deral Governim-nt ho ever st on
the bench anywhere, at any time, trom the forma
tion of th Government down, hut the judiciary
of every non-sUveh.-iding State in the Crdon nf
tirnmd it* constitutionality, as well as the courts of
the shtveholding States. The act of 1788 was
adopted during the administration of Washington.
It |>assed the Seuate uuaniuiously—was introduced
by Mew England men, and I suppose they got it
lioui the source I have iiitlieeted. It was passed
in the House ut Kepresa-u la lives bv twentv-six
northern and twenty.iwp cptitiiern n.cu—m-mlv a
unanimojs vote iu that Hoy.-*-. It was signed bv
Washington. It was not questioned until . ,-7
iion-siavcfiolding .States began logtcl under d.e in
fluence ot Exeter Hall; their treason was not in
digenous. These traitoia now’ pretend that the act
ot 1800 instigated tire hostility to the rendition ot
fugitives from labor.
1 will show hum the-record, that the pretence is
untrue; long before that act was |.u*-ed they fin:!
passed numerous cunningly connived and fraudu
lent acta lo elude, evade, and defeat this plain con
stitutional obligation. What does the act of 1850.
do 2 It only more effectually provides for the exe
cution ot the Constitution, and deteats fradulent
Slate legislation intended to elude is provisions.—
The constitutionality ot this law has been main
tained, as fr’ as 1 know or believe, by every Fed
eral court l . the Untpn, and every stale court ai-o,
ex.ept that of Wisconsin. Tim decision of that
court has recently been brought before the highest
! judicial tribunal of our country, I find in the twen
j ty firwt volume of Howard's Supreme Court He
! pons - two cases decided together, Ableman .s.
Booth, and llie United States c.t Booth. That de
ihiion is able, learned, and eloquent, i cannot
read all of ii that 1 could u i*h to read, 1 com
mend it to*all honest men ; 1 give enough ot it to
elucidate the point lam discussing:
_ “In the case before the ■supreme court of Wds
i cousin, a right was claimed under the-Coustitutiou
j and laws of the United States, and the and vision
: was against the right claimed; and it refuses* übe
■ dietice to the writ of error, and regards its own
j .figment as filial. It has not only reversed a fi
annulled the judgment, of the uistiict court of the
; Luiled States, but it has reversed and annulled
the provisions of the Constitution itself.”—e -
ard's Report , vol. 21, p. 522.
That is the unanimous judgment of the whole
I court, ot the northern men and the southern men
j on that bench; and there are four northern men
on it. They deduced that-the court o: Wisconsin
| h*d not only annulled the judgment of4he tUsiiiet
court ot the United States, hut had reversed und
annulled the provisions ol the Constitution itscll.
One ot the youngest ol our sisters, wiio gin row-.w
before she got ripe, comes to us even in the firs
tew years of her admission, with her hands all
smeared with the blood of a violated Constitution,
all polluted with perjury.
But, say tiie Supreme Court of tiie United States,
also unanimously, iu reference to the act of 1850 :
“But, although we think it unnecessary to dis
cuss these questions, yet, as they have been decid
ed by the State court and are before us on record,
and we are not willing to be misunderstood, it is
proper to say that, in the judgment of this court,
the act of Congress commonly called the fugitive
slave law is, in all its provisions* fully authorized
by the Constitution of tiie United States.”—/6*’d,
p >ge 526.
.Such is the judgment of the whole court. No
honest man deuies, or even questions, its soundness
or its purity. It is the sole arbiter created by the
Constitution of our country to decide upon the
piivate rights of tne people of Ohe State against
the people ot another State under the Constitution.
The highest judicial tribunal of Wisconsin revises
to obey tins decision ; the Stale sustains them, and
has the audacity Jo seud Senators here lo look
honest men iu the face, and prate about union.
Their insensibility to shame excites more of our
pity than our contempt. Mr. IVesident, I hold iu my
hand copies and abwuaets of laws, resolutions ad
bills of nine Slates of this Union, ail oi which haw*
been devised with the direct intent to abrogate and
annual this plain provision of the Constitution.
The laws were passed by the Abolitionists, now
called the Republican party of the United States.
They are all plain, direct, undeniable violations of
the oaths which tiie men who passed them took to
support the Constitution ot tiie United State*. All
of them display the scienter, the corrupt knowledge
of those that passed them, of the crimes they were
Their very efforts to hide, to conceal
their purpose, demonstrate their criminal intent.
I shall not detain the Senate with reading this sad
catalogue; but I shall comment ou the most atro
cious of these laws, and annex abstracts of them
to my pi inted speech, ith references to enable
the reader to investigate this humiliating record of
depravity.
Their objects are sometimes sought to be accom
plished by resolutions pioclaiming a “higher law”
us the guide to pliant interpretation. In other
cases they are soughttobe accomplished by hah-os
corpus acts, by writs of mandiqnus, intended to
transfer cases from the judgnfent of honest men to
th? decisions of Republicans; but the bolder crim
inals have squarely met the question, and aunullcd
the Constitution by means of what are called per
sonal liberty acts. Maine, New Hampshire, Ver
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Connecticut,
Michigan, Y\ isconsin, lowa, Ohio, and New York,
have ail sought to accomplish these results in the
one or the other of the modes which I itave de
scribed. I have not the lowa and Wisconsin jaws
before me. lam iuformed they are of the same
character, purpose, and intent.* The State of
*Mr. Toonffxi is £tad to he told by the Senator from lowa,
that she has passed no law atlciii|>urig to uuility Uii* clause
of the Constitution
Maine, by Section 53, chapter 80, of Revised Code. ;
fines every honest man iu her limits who regards
his obligation to the Federal compact, and fiold*
Htate office under her, sl,oou, or imprisons him
not less than one year, for maintaining, or attempt
ing to maintain, this pro\isio.i ot the Constitution.
No person iu Maine can enter upon the discharge
of any office, civil or military, who does not take
an oath to support the Constitution of the United ,
Slates. If he chooses to regard the obligations of j
his oath aud the duties of a good citizen, tie is fined
SI,OOO or put in prison. Maine offers lo her office
holders, in Uie discharge of national obligations,
the alternative of pmjury or a prison, i never
heard of a Republican iu the state who accepted
the latter alteruaiive.
Massachusetts commenced her career of crime
as early as March 24, 1843, aud has continued it
up to 1858. Infidelity to the Federal compact is
the rule of conduct of her public men of the Re
publican party ; and open, shameless disregard of i
their oaths to support the Constitution, as far as
the fugitive slave law is concerned, is their best
passport to popular iavor. New Hampshire trees
every fugitive irom labor who may escape into her
borders, unless the act of reclamation be done by
some officer of the United States, or other person
iu the execution of auy legal process. The Con
stitution says, as interpreted .by the Supreme Court
in Frigg vs. Pennsylvania, sue shall not. Her
pubiic men swear they will support the Constitution.
By her legislation, she would imprison any one of
her southern “ brethren,” fire years lor passing
through her borders accompanied by his body ser
vant; yet I am considered a rash, violent man, a
disuuiouist, tor l.ot accepting such, people as my
brethren. (See laws of New liampsnire, Chapter
1056, June session, 1857.) Tue people of Ver
mont would seize my Servant under similar ciicuiu-.
stances, and wie State pledges its whole power to
deiend him. Michigan would imprison any south
ern man passing through her territory wiut his do
mestic servant. Fhe has been othcrw i.-e extremely
active in her legislation to subvert the Constitution.
Rhode island Las offered her officers, civil and
military, the Same alternatives allowed them by
Maine, to-wit, perjury or a prison. Connecticut
has passed characteristic laws, under tiie fraudulent
pretence of preventing kidnapping. She fines at!
persons aud imprisons them five years lor
lading, in their suit, to recover their slave proper
ly ; and takes good cure, by her rules of evidence
and llie tribunals before whom She attempts to
bring them, that they shall tail.
Mr. FOSTER. Will the Senator permit me to
ask him a question V
.Mr. TOOMBS. Certainly.
Mr. FOS TER. The Senator !uis alluded to the
Shite ot Connecticut. 1 should be obliged to him
it lie would poult out the act ot the btatc of l on
uecucut winch he claims to be unconsiitutionaj.
1 ask it, merely tiiat 1 may have my attention
draw n to it.
Mr. TOOMBS. I will, hi Connecticut persons
were piohioited from bringing slaves L*to tne
Slate, under a penalty oi *350 tor Cacli slave ; auu
the State aulhoiilies were prohibited trom arresting
or detaining fugitive* from slavery, bv the art oi
1854.
Mr. FOSTER. I will ask the Senator if he will
not read the act, to see whether th** prohibition of
bringiug slaves into the State be not to sell or is
pose oi them—whether that is not the whole pro
vision to which he refers. It nu'iciy prevcified
the bringing hi slaves lo sell or dispose ol tin in.
Mr. TOOMBS. I will read them a 1 ,!: “"An ’act
for the dcleuce of liberty in this State,” jiaesod in
Connecticut, April, 1854 *
Mr. FOSTER, it is the act, the lijjlc of- whh'h
