There are other provisions of the sta tute in express conflict with the act of 1792, to which it is unnecessary to ad vert on this occasion. One Prigg was indicted under this statute for taking and carrying away a certain negro womanf med Margaret, into the State of Matyland, with the de sign and intention of selling and dispo, sing of and keeping her as a servant for life contrary to the statute. The de. fendent pleaded not guilty to the indict ment, and, at the trial, the jury found a speciia verdict, which in substance, states that the negro woman Mlargaret, was a slave for life, and held to labor and service under, and according to the laws of Maryland, to a certain M'arga tot Ashmore, a citiz-n of Naryland; that the slave escaped and lied to Penn sylvania, in 1S32; that the defendant as the legally constituted agent of Mar. garet Ashmore, in 1837, caused the said woman, Margatet to be taken and apprehended as a fugitive from labor by a State constable, urnder a war ant ft om a Pennsylvania ?Bla ;stra:i; thit the said wotm.i was the:eupun brought before the said magistrate, who refuse to take further cognisance of the cause; and thereupon the defendant did take and carry away the said negro, &c., put of Pennsylvania into Mlaryland, and did deliver her tozher owner, Maigarct Ashmore. Upon this state offacts, the courts in Pennsylvania, both onithe circuit and on appeal,!adjudged that the defendant was guilty of the crime charged. In effect holding . hat a citizen- of a slave holding Statefuld not pursue and up preltend his 'fugitive slave in a non slavobolding State. -The cause was carried to the su preme court of the United States, and there underwent discussion and investi gation becoming the magnitude of the questions involved in it. 'The case is to be found reported 1G Peters, 611. The essential question, involving the guilt or innocence of the accused, de, pended upon the proper construction of the article of the constitution relative -to fugative slaves, and the act of 1793 made-to enforce it. And that question presented this important consideration to hecurr.'Had the owner of a fugitive slavo;escpifg into a non-slaveholding Statethe right to apprehend and seize him or her in such State, as one of the incidents of perfect ownership? The act of Pennsylvania had made it crim inal for one to make such seizure of -his own slave while in the tetritorial lim ittof Pennsylvania. Judge Story de 1.ivered the judgment of the suprenmo courtrcversiug, on all the points, the judgment belowv. Upon the point just referred to, htisjud-mnent is full and in structive, ie uses thic following Ian guage: "Hlistorically, it is wvell known that the object of this clause to secure to the slave holding States the complete rigt and ti tie of ownership in thcir slaves, as property, in every State in the Union into w~hicht they might escape from the State where they wore, they were field in servitude. The full recognitiotn of the right and title was indispensable t o the security of this species of property in all thc slave houldintg States; and indeed, was vital to the pire servation of their dattestic intcrest arnd institutions, thItat it cannot he doubted that it constituted a funtd atmetri article, withI out the adiiption of whach the Union could niot have b~een furmed." This clause wats of such controllhng1 and paramount itmportance to the South orn States, that they, in efTect, made it a sinc qua non ; the notn-slavehiolding States seemed to have regarded it in the same light, for the choste was. adopted into the constitution by the unaninmous consent of the franmers of it. The clause umaif'stly contenmplattes the existence of a positive tunqutahlified tight on the part of the owner of the slave, which no State b~aw or' regulation can, in any way, gjtatlify, regulate, cotn trol, or restrain. It puits the tights of the owner, with all its inicide.ts, upon the sanme ground ini all the States. Ihis. right, to he pet f, ci, must lhe ilhe same in alli the notn-sltavehto'd i tng State~e, as in in the Statte ft om which the fugitive i fled. Thte owner nmust, therefore, have p the right-*to se ize antd reporssess the slav'e, which the locatl laws of his own a State cotnfer on himt as pt oper iv, and 11 that is a right recognised in all thte'slave- a holding States. i Thums far, the right of the owner to apprehetnd his shave is well recognised atnd nmintained by the opinion; but thete is attoter question or more com phexity itnvolved in the discussion of the i1 case: Ilow sIn llibe otain the posses- in sion when there is a detention or denial il of right on the part of itndividuals? Theconsti tution is explicit, that a slave (I escapinig into a non-slaveholding State shall not be discharged fiuom service or u labor, but shall be deuwered fu, On the s~ claim of the party to whom stuchi labor ti may be due. For many years, as has f6 benn stated, the State authotity, both to judicial and ministerial, contributed ac- ! tively to-aid in measures for the delivery1' of the fugitive to his master. The act of '93 presupposes such an agency to be implied as an obligation of duty. One iE of the grounds taken in the case adver ted to was, that Conigress, having ex, di C tIe opiion in that State, and it msyiu stated that one of the-branches of talog islature, give its sanction to-a bill:g to, hibit the State officers from interferigtug assist a master, imposing high paisti on such as should give active aid . the owner in his efforts to apprehend his, i tive slave. It seems that this billIdjid no pass, upon the ground that Staieadfficeer had no authority under. State laws, they being a dead letter; and t'hat, therefere there was an implied inhibition ien'Stat officers from interfering in such cases. What remedy have the slaveholdini S ates now- left, for the enforcement c their constitutional right to the delivery c their property, escaping into non -slaveho'd ing communities. 'hey have the parch ment guaranty of flte constitution, wtithou ability to enforce it themselves, and wits the hestile legislation of the nou-slavebuld ing States to defeat them. What now is left for the citizens of th slaveholding States, as the available mean undes the constitution, to protect thos rights intended to he secured by it. Pub lie opinion, the only great political agen in a republic to sustain good faith, ha been turned against them under the form of law. The constitution, wthich, in th the primitive days of the republic, wa supposed to have, in all that involved th mutual duties of the States, thie essentia elements of self-execution, has neithe State nor federal law to sustain atn vindicate its authority. The State have withdrawn their support, and Con gross is inefficient in its l"gislatidn to sup ply it. A single clause of the at of 179 is all that is left, and is a dead letter, so fa as it regards the power of giving it practi cal elicacy. All that is lof of it is th right to bring an action against those i the non-slavehulding States who may con ceal, or protect from seizure, a'drunawa slave. The right to sue a mob of irrespon sible persons, without the potter of =pro curing witnesses, and before-a tribune administering justice in a hostile commu nity. Who would venture on such litiga tion ? The right of seizure and appiehen sion is conceded, bnt how to be executed why, at the risk of the owner's:life.

The court decided that the power of legislation being exclusive in Congress, could not, for any purpose, be current in the States. consequences of the decision could not have been foreseen; and inferrences have been di awn from it by most of the non-slaveholding State, certainly re pugnant to the dr ift of the decision, and in violation of the spirit of the constitu tion, and in opposition to ancient usage and contemporaneous construction. The views which were taken by Chief Justice Taney,evince "lan cit cr; i spection and wisdom of a gre consti tutional magistrate. The views which the framers of the constit-mion had ta ken, and which seemed to have been confirmed by mutual understanding of the States fur many years. The Chief justice concurred with the court entirely in all that was said in relation to the right of the master, by virtue of the 3d clause of the 2d section of 4.1h art. ofthe constitution to arrest his slave in any State wherein lie might find him; and in pronouncing the law of Pennsylvania, under which Prigg was indictated, unconstitutional and void. His reasons for this opinion arc strikin;ly put. He does not regardjany other question as necessarrily involved in the case, so far as it regarded the in nocence or guilt of the party charged - nor do the committie. The court did, however, go on to say and perhaps to decicde, that the power to provide a remedy for the master was exclusively vested in Congress; and that all laws uyon the subject, passod by the States since'the adoption Af the con stitution, are null ad void; even although they were intended, in good faith, to protect the owner in the exercises of his rights of property, and do not in any way conflict with the act of Congress. So far front maintaining that the States are prohibited from interferring by !egis. lation to protect and aid the master, the Ieat r.ed chief justice says; "They are not prohibi ed; but, on the contrary, is is enjoined upon them, as a duty, to protect :md sopport the owner when he is endeavoring to obtain possession of his property found within their respec tive territories." It. does seem to the committee, that this view of the matter is unanswerable.. - The. at gument soa bly sustained- summed. up in one sen tence: "The States .are, in express terms, forbidden to make any regulation to impair the - -mastur's right; but there the prohibition stops." Justices Thompson and Daniel, in wvell snstained judgments, concurred with the chief justice. Judge Thompson said he lad filled his opinion principally to gua.d against the conclusion "that, by my si lence, 1 assent to the doctrine that all legislation on the subject rested exclu sively in Congress, and thait all State legislation, in tbe abscence of any la w af Congress,. is unconstitutional and void." Several of the non-slaveholding Statr.s, thtosei to the cast and north es 7ecially, have, since the above decision was made, which was nmade, in 1342, ~hap~ed thieir legislation in such a man ier as to repeal all State laws in avor of a master in puirsuit of his fugi, ive slave, holding such laws as uncon - titutional, and as a dead letter on the tatue book. And these States, or many f them, have gone nmuchi further, and tave passe'd laws making it penal for lie judicial and ministerial officets to nterfere or give aid1 in the apprehen ion and delivery oh a fugitiveslavo ;oliis ~iwner. Instead of being frieuds uder lie constitution to affuid active aid in he deliverp, they have devisec a system osti!e legislation to deprive hinm of aid. nstead of being aillies to discharge an bligation iumposed on them, they have econme hostile op)poner,ts to defeat it.
