I suppose Ido not misunderstand the gentleman from Georgia. I now understand him to express the opinion that the Federal Government has no constitutional power to restrict slavery in any of the Territo ries of the United States; yet, in a Spirit of com promise, he was willing, in this instance, that the Constitution should be violated in the measure proposing to restrict slavery in half the territory, and that the Federal Government should thus do what the Constitution itself prohibited.

Download or read book The Constitutional Duty of the Federal Government to Abolish American Slavery written by Abolition Society of New York Vicinity and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional Duty of the Federal Government to Abolish American Slavery: An Expose of the Position of the Abolition Society of New-York City and Vicinity We mean that slaveholding is illegal, as other criminal practices are illegal We affirm that there is no legislation in any of the States that makes it legal. We maintain that, even without any legislation against slavery, it is now the right and duty of the Courts of Justice to liberate any slave who may bring a suit for his or her freedom. Why Slavery is Illegal. We affirm its illegality on two general grounds: First, Slavery can not possibly be legalized. Second, If it could be, it never has been, and is not now, legalized in this country. The ground first mentioned is that of an universal and immutable principle; the second is that of history, and of existing local fact. First, Slavery can not possibly be legalized. In its very nature it is incapable of legalization. The standard writers on common law affirm the impossibility of legalizing slavery, even by positive municipal law. They declare the right to liberty to be inalienable, and that statutes against fundamental morality are void. The nature of civil government and of civil law, as defined by all standard writers on those subjects, proves it impossible to legalize slavery. "To secure" man's inalienable rights, "governments are instituted among men." And consequently they can have no lawful authority to violate the rights which they exist only to protect.

Download or read book On the Government of the Territories written by Durbin Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Government of the Territories: The Constitutional Power of the General Government and the People in the Federal Territories Another claim for this power of intervention has been set up through the medium of the Judicial Tribunals. It. Is said that the Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case, having declared slaves to be property, (a proposition never denied by a lawyer, ) the Constitution protects property in the Territories. Grant it; but the Constitution does not create property, nor determine what property is. Nor does the Constitution extend more protection to property in the Territories than in the States. If, then, the right of property enables, by virtue of the Constitution, a mas ter to carry his slave into a Territory and be protected against the local law, it equally enables him to carry such slave into a State, and be protected there against the local Constitution or laws of the State; for the Federal Constitution is the Supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Constitution then enables Congress to protect slaves when carried into a Territory because they are property, it equally enables that body, for the same reason, to protect them when carried into any State. The pro perty in the slave is the creature of some law or legal recogni tion of the State from which he came, and if this property is pro tected against the local law of prohibition in one place it must be in another: or else the Constitution has greater force in one part of the land over which it is the supreme law than in another. But the inference drawn from the Dred Scott case is not justified by the case itself, and it need be referred to no further.

Giddings and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rights of the Free States Subverted: Or, an Enumeration of Some of the Most Prominent Instances in Which the Federal Constitution Has Been Violated by Our National Government for the Benefit of Slavery This communication was sent to the Senate and House of Representatives by the President on the 12th January following, but no final action appears to have taken place at that timed; On the 29th of June, 1796, another treaty was entered into between the United States and the Creek Indians, called the treaty of Coleraine. Ey, 'the terms of this latter treaty, the Indians again covenanted to deliver up to the officers of the U. States, such negroes as were resident in their nation; and if they were not delivered by the first day of January next following the date of the treaty, then the Governor of Geor gia was authorized to appoint three persons to repair to the Creek nation and demand said negroes, under direction of the President of the United States. In consideration of this, and other stipulations, the United States covenanted to pay the Indians six thou sand dollars in goods, and to furnish them with two blacksmiths and strikers, tools, &c., 850. Thus were the people of the free States again involved in the expense and disgrace of sustaining slavery, for the sole benefit of the slaveholders of Georgia. It should also be understood, that at the conclusion of this treaty, many of the slaves from the Upper Creek towns were brought in and delivered to the officers of Government, who con descended to act with the Indians as the assistant catchpolls of southern slaveholders. Thus were the people of the whole nation taxed and again dishonored for the benefit pf an institution most palpably beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, and abhorrent to the feelings of the people generally.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Free Remarks on the Spirit of the Federal Constitution, the Practice of the Federal Government, and the Obligations of the Union: Respecting the Exclusion of Slavery From the Territories and New States The Congress of 1787 would seem to have been partien larly alive to the obligations in this matter, imposed by the facts which I have indicated above. They recognized the principle of universal abolition, in their proceeding with respect to the North West Territory; of which proceed ing the history and import are especially worthy of atten tion. The whole territory north of the river Ohio, and west of the state of Pennsylvania, extending northwardly to the northern boundary of the United States, and westwardly to the Mississippi, was claimed by Virginia. The states of Massachusetts and Connecticut claimed all that part which was within the breadth of their respective charters, and the state of New York had also an indeterminate claim to the country. As early as the year 1780, Congress recommended to all the states whose charters included ungranted ter ritory, to cede it to the Union for national purposes; and the states without such territory, always contended that the lands gained by the common exertions, were or ought to be common propertyflr Some of the smaller withheld their ratification of the articles of confederation, in order to compel the cession for which they called as matter of right; and finally they carried their point. The act of cession of the state of New York is prefaced with the following recital. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Relations of the Federal Government to Slavery written by Joseph Ketchum Edgerton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relations of the Federal Government to Slavery: Speech of Joseph K. Edgerton, Delivered at Fort Wayne, Ind., October, 30th, 1860 The traditions and historic glory that surround the Federal Government as our fathers formed it, are yet dear to the hearts of the whole American people. That government still belongs to them - it is their heritage, and they, I trust, will yet restore and preserve it The horoscope of the future daily brightens with hopeful signs, not the least of which is the fact that the President of the United States, who was elected to his high Office upon a declaration of political principles logically Involving the extermination of slavery as existing in fifteen States of the Federal Union, and which could not therefore be carried out without making the Union a divided house, has himself become the supporter of a constitutional and conservative policy in regard to Slavery. Let us thank God and take courage. If the govern ment will but stand firmly on constitutional ground, we will not despair of the Republic. It is also due to truth to say that one object [have in the present publica tion is to disabuse the minds of some of my fellow-citizens, whose good Opinion I value, who have been misled by false statements charging me with sympathy with the Southern rebellion. The Opinions now published were the result of patient investigation, and are still held with earnest conviction, confirmed by the events of the past year. Of their justice and patriotism, and whether or not they are the Opinions of a sympathizer with rebellion, candid men will judge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws of Race, as Connected With Slavery The attention of government, the debates of Congress, the public press, and the thoughts of the people, have been almost exclusively occupied, for the last five or six years, by questions of law and policy, arising out of the all-absorbing topic of slavery. To understand that subject, however, we must go deeper. Slavery does not rest on the Constitution or laws as a basis, but they on it. It is not the creature, but the director of our policy. It is a permanent, commanding fact in our country, and may not be disregarded. To manage it rightly, is the great problem of our politics, for it has power over us and our destiny. Slavery has a nature of its own, according to which we must shape our measures, if we would be safe and prosper. What is that nature?
