Court ot tl.o l nito«l States. I will first inquire whether “ it is frectsr£t so with the statui of a negro carried from one part ejf the Unit' d Stale* to another. Instead of interposing my individual onin ion m opposition to that so boldly expressed by the learned Attorney General,*! will quote the language of an eminent American jurist whose authority is everywhere acknowledged, Upon Ibis precise point Judge Story, in bis Conflict of Laws, p. 150, says: “But fee know that no nch generalrffeet hat lire ever been attributed to the state of slaveryThere is a uniformity of opinion among foreign jurists and foreign tribunals in giving no . fleet to the state of slavery of a party, whatever it may have been in tne oountry of his birth or tliat in which ho had been previously domiciled, unless it u also recognized hy He laser 0/ the country of kit actual domicil, and where no is found, and it is sought to be enforced. After citing various authorities, Judge Story C cceds : “ In Scotland the like doctrine has n solemnly adj'udgcd. The tribunals of France havo adopted the same rale, even in relation to slaves coming from and belonging to their own colonies. This is also the undisputed law of England.” It is unnecessary to burden these pages with the long list of authorities cited by Judge Story to prove his assertion that “ there is a uniformity among foreign jurists and foreign tribunals ” that tho law is precisely the reverse of what Judge Black states it to be in respect to slave ry- But if ho attempts to cschpc the force 6f this uniform current of foreign authorities I will test his respect for the decisions of the Supremo Court of the United States by citing the case of Prigg rt. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, (Id Peters, p. Gil,) in which the court says : By the IswS of nations, no nation is bonnd to reo Is * wnpoli ieotsof otawnstii.ii., where slavery is recognised.

North Carolina, and, indeed, nearly, if not all of the Southern States. But I am willing to rest the whole cause upon the authority of the Supreme Court of tho United States, and to exhort the Attorney General, in his own clas sical language, only substituting his name for mine, to cease “fighting the judiciary ” and treat the courts with “decent respect.” “We aro called upon to make a contest, at once un necessary and hopeless, with the judicial au thority of tho nation. We object to it. We ■will not obey Judge Black when he commands tu to assault the Supreme Court of the United States. We believe the conrt to be right, and Judge Black wrong.” If, however, the learned Attorney General shall not be turned from the error of his ways by these words of wisdom from his own pen, I will make another effort to save him, by commending to bis especial attention the fol lowing paragraph from his own pamphlet: •• In former times a question of constitutional la, once decided by the Supreme Court was regarded as settled by all, except that little band of ribald infi dels who meet periodically at Boatnn to blaspheme the religion, and plot rebelli ,n against tho laws, of the coantryf’ CAN TH* LAWS Or ONE CorfcTAY OPERATE IK ANOTH ER WITIIOCT ITS CONSENT ? Having shown that Judge Black's “ Axiom atic principle of public law ” in respect to the operation of the laws of one State or country within the jurisdiction of another, as defined and expounded by the highest judicial tribu nals in this country and Europe, has uo ap- S lication to, and does not include, slavery; ut that, on the contrary, “ the state of slavery is deemed to be a mere munteival regulation, founded upon and limited to the range of the territorial laws ;" and, in the language of the Constitution itself, exists in one Stale under THE r. UVJ TIlVRI'nr.’’ «n,I nnl hst ,k “ Constitution of the Uuited States, nor of any federal authority, nor of any foreign law, nor any international law, I will proceed to exam ine how far Judge Black has accurately sta ted the “ axiomatic principle of public law,” or the law of tho comity of nations, by which “ a right of property, a private relation, con dition, or status, lawfully existing in one State or country, is not changed by the mere remo val of the parties to nnothcr country, unless the law of that other country be in direct con flict with it.” j0 . I shall pursue this inquiry out of respect for the great learning displayed by the Attorney General in his philanthropic purpose of en lightening me upon the subject, and not be cause it has any bearing upon the question at issue, if the decision of the Supreme Court of tho United States is to be taken as conclusive evidence, in opposition to the opinion of Judge Black, as to the law of the case. _ Of course. I express no opirion of my own, since I make it a rule to acquiesce in tba decisions of the courts upon all legal* questiqps. In order to have stated the general principle fairly and accurately. Judge Black should havo added that whenever the foreign law, or the law ol one State is to be enforced in another, it dc- rivet it* validity from the consent of the State or country where it it to be enforced* and not from the sovereignty of the State or country from which it came. . . , . The brief space allotted to this reply, al ready too long, will not permit me to cite, much lets quote* the long list of authorities* American, English, aud Continental, upon this point. It may be safely assumed as an incontrovertible principle, that the laws of one country can have no force in any other coun try without its consent, expressed or implied, and that such consent will be implied, nnd the tacit adoption of the foreign laws, by the gov ernment of the country whero they are to be enforced, will be presumed by tho courts in very, the courts of justice will presume that the territorial government has ci nsenledto the existence of slavery, and has tacitly adopted the Virginia laws in respect to the rights of the master who came with his slaves from that State. But at this very j>oint Judge Black erect* an insuperable barrier to the rightsojflhe owner of the staves. Ho argues thnt. the terri torial government has no power to act or leg islate upon the subject of slavery, and conse quently it incapable of giving its consent to the operation of the Virginia laws, while the courts of the Territory cannot presume such consent to have been given where it was im possible to give it, nor the Virginia laws to have been tacitly adopted by a government which had no power to adopt them. There fore, unless the power of the territorial legis lature to act upon the subject of slavery in the same manner as any other domestic or munic ipal regulation bo conceded, and consequent ly its right to give or withhold its consent to the operation or tacit adoption of the laws of tho shivcholding States be acknowledged, the conclusion is irresistible that Jndgc Black’s axiomatic principle of public law, as defined by the Supreme Court of the United Staler, would strip tlic owner of slaves in tho Terri tories of all those rights which lawfully exis ted in the States from which they removed as effectually and inevitably as the Wilmot pro viso or the Ordinance of ’87. But if it shall be conceded, on the contrary, that slavery is a proper subject of legislation, upon which the territorial legislatures may rightfully act with in the limitations of the Constitution, it neces sarily follows that they may consent to the operation or adoption of the laws of the slave holding States to the fullest extent necessary to the protection and enjoyment of the own ers' rights in slave property.

But how shall we account for quotations like those ? I am ob liged to leave the riddle unread. II.

Fifteen distinct and conflic ting systems of law on the same general sub ject, each deriving its validity from the au thority of the State from which the master em igrated, and following the slaves as the indi vidual right of tho master, in couseqnence of bis former citizenship of such State, nnd not by virtue of the Constitution of the United States, nor by the assent of the Territory or of Congress, are put in operation iu the same Territory, each by the individual act of one man, in opposition to the wishes of the people, and in defiance of the legislative authority of tho Territory, and all tp remain unalterable, no matter how inconvenient or unsuitable, un til the people get a constitutional convention or the machinery of a State government into their hands. • As. the law of slavery which the master car ries into the Territory with his slaves is bis individual right, resulting from his former cit izenship in another State, some inquisitive per- son. may require ho« longibo““en^ii'e Kentuckian sells his slave to the Vermonter; under what law will tlio Vermonter hold the slave; whether under the law of Kentucky, where the new master never resided, or under the law of Vermont, where slavery is prohib- ited? . . ’ „ The same “axiomatic principle,’ as inter preted by Judge Black, would enable any one citizen from each of the thirty-eight States and Territories of this Union to put in opera tion in any other Territory, without their con sent, expressed or implied, thirty-eight sepa rate nnd conflicting systems of law upon the subject of marriage and the rights of married women; upon the legitimacy of children and ^ their rights of inheritance; upon the relative mon KenM * rights and duties of guardian and ward, mas ter and apprentice, and every “right of prop erty, private relation, condition or status lawfully existing in the State pr Territory from which they came! ... . The same construction of .this axiomatic principle would enable any one person, brick or white, who should emigrate from Europe, Asia, or Africa—from North, South, or Cen tral America—or from the Islands of the Sea, wherever they are recognized as civilized peo ple, to go into the Territories of the United States and carry with them and put re opera tion all the laws of their respective countries, so fur ns they recognized any “right of prop erty, private relation, condition or status, no matter bow' revolting to the morpl sense of the community, without the consent of Congress or of the Territory, and when it was known that such laws were ContMry to its policy and private corporations, but no Turnpike Co i J pany pretends to be a sovereign State. The courts in many places have authority to create corporations, the sheriff of aeouuty has pow er to imprison or haug malefactors, and tho supervisors of a township can levy taxes; but 1 think no judge, sheriff, or supervisor has ally clear and explicit in his assertion that “it 1 has no application to, ami does not include, sla very.” 1 insist that he is utterly mistaken. Slaves being recognised as properly by the Constitution, and made so by tho local laws of those States which have power to regulate tlieir condition, there can be no constitutional or le gal rewou given for excepting them from the c ,e r claim e d the purple or the diidem on any operation ofa rule which .pph« to property l h d< always act by in general.

X may also add, that every democrat who de sires to preserve “ the unity of the faith in the bonds of peace” will disapprove the odi ous charge which Mr. Douglas flings at the President, of agreeing with him on this sub ject. The calm, clear judgment of Mr Bu chanan was never for a moment imposed on, nor his love for the Constitution shaken, by this heresy. Neither in his Sanford letter, nor in his letter of acceptance, nor his Inau gural Address, nor in any other paper, pub lic or private, did lie ever give the remotest countenance to such doctrine. He lias often said, that the people of the Territories had the l ight to determine the question of slavery for themselves, but be never said, nor intimated, that they could do so before they were ready to form a State coustiution. I will not follow Mr. Douglas any farther at present. But I must not be understood as as senting to the numerous assertions upon which I am silent. There is scarcely a sentence in this whole pamphlet, which does not either propound au error, or else mangle a truth. I do not charge him, however, with wilful mis statements of either law or fact.

There is c point, which sic value, but because tt^vi iPro^^ ,1-tr^ 'n^ But it is an'insult to the American people to suppose, that any community can be organiz ed within thc limits of our Union, \*ho will highly esteemed by Mr. Douglas himself It is an extract from a speech of his own delivered in thc Senate on the 23d of February last. The legal equality of slave property and other property was thep asserted hy him in thc fol lowing fashion: , . . , “Slaves, according to that decision, [the Ilrcd Scott decision;] being property, stand on an equal footing with all other property. There is just as much obligation on the part of the ter ritorial legislature lo protect slaves as every other species of property, as there is to protect horses, cattle, dry goods, liquors, Spr. If they have a right to discriminate as to the one, they have as to thc other, and whether they have got tho power of discrimination or not, is for thc court to decide, if any one disputes. **** If there is no power of discrimination on other species of properly, there is none as to slaves. If there is a power of discrimination as to other projicrty—and I think there is—then itapplies to slavo property. In other words, slave pro perly is on an equal footing with all other pro perty.” In thc face of all this, in thc teeth of his own words as recently uttered, in defiance of the Supreme Court and all judicial authority, Mr. Douglas now declares that the “axiomatic prin ciple of public law”.which, enables a man to remove his property from place to place, wher ever the local law does not forbid its coming; is not applicable to slaves. To sustain himself in making this distinction, he produces two short passages, both of which have been picked out of one paragraph in Story’s “Conflict of Laws.” These passages (will thc reader believe it?) tolerate such a state of things. If it shall ever come to that, .Mr. Douglas may rest as sured, that a remedy will be found. No gov ernment can possibly exist, which will allow the right of property to go unprotected ; much less can it suffer such a right to be exposed to “unfriendly legislation.” Mr. Douglas thinks that a Territory may exclude slaves, or interfere with the rights of the owners, because, in some of the organic acts, the general grant is made of authority pver “ all rightful subjects of legislation.”— This is not tbe least unaccountable of bis strange notions. -In such an act nothing is ta ken by. implication, nor could tho power iu question be given even by express words; for it is forbidden by thc Constitution to the Federal Government itself. The logic so pe culiar to Mr. Douglas, which infers tbe power to give from the want of possession, may sus tain such a construction of a statute; but notn- iug else will. A “ plan ” relating to tho Territories was offered to Congress by Mr. Jcft’crsonjn 178J. It was a mere project, in the form of resolu tions, embodying certain abstract propositions in anticipation of settlements yet to be made in the wilderness. It did not establish any government, temporary or permanent, but pro vided how the settlers, when they would go there, might petition Congress and get them selves organized.

It i fact that not a single one of* those authoriti touches the question in controversy betwet They all, without exception, refer to cases and another plan totally different (the famou ordinance of 1784) was substituted in its place Mr. Douglas, in Harper, referred to this plan, and expended column after column of dreary comment upon it. It was ridiculously iuap- pliccbleto his argument; like his quotation from Story, it had no more to do with thc sub ject before him than the Edict of Nantes. I referred to it merely as showing how he could wander from thc point. But he allows his righteous soul to be vexed at me for saying it i was rejected. It was rejected ; for though • J, i:1 ”, e '' Congress assented to the resolutions when ’ . K 1 first offered, the plan was repudiated before a cunou.' principle of it went into operation. Mr. Douglas says that it “stood on the statute-book unrepealed and trrepealable.” I take it for ' granted, that he would not have made such an V ! allegation if he had known what I now tell in which there was the law of the country where the slave came! aLegation from, and the law of the country to which he 1,1111; that 11 was ’ 111 fact ’ repealedm I/fv by taken.
