Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Defense for Fugitive Slaves, Against the Acts of Congress of February 12, 1793 and September 18, 1850
Such are the definitions given by the Supreme Court of the United States, of the terms claim, suit, and common law, as used in the constitution and amendment. If these definitions are correct, they cover the case of fugitive slaves. If they are not correct, it becomes Mr. Webster to give some reason against them besides his naked assertion, that the re claiming of a fugitive slave is not a suit at the common law.
