To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In that case the GeneralGovernment ought to own the negro. It has paid for him, and theproperty in him ought to be transferred.
Mr. WILMOT:--There is nothing in this. We do not wish to have theGovernment own the negro. It is bad enough to have individuals ownslaves. We do not propose to turn the Government into an extensiveslave owner.
But let me ask the gentleman seriously, who is to own the negro, insuch a case, after he has been paid for? Certainly not the formerowner, because his right is g...one. This amendment only states aconclusion of law; the right of the owner being gone, the negro isfree.
Mr. CHASE:--I think a single word will settle this. By theConstitution as it now stands, the escaped fugitive is not dischargedfrom service or labor. The original section, as proposed, requiresthat the slave should be paid for, when he is rescued. Now, he mightbe rescued three or four times. Shall he be paid for as often? Dogentlemen claim that his owner shall receive compensation more thanonce?
