Jones, the court says : " The risi;ht of the master exists, not by the force of the law of nature or of nations, but by virtue only of the positive law of ttie State. " The Supretue Court of the United States, in the renowned Prigg case, de- cides the same point. It says : " The state of slavery is deemed to be a mere municipal regulation, founded upon and limited to the range of tei-ritorial laws. " — IG Peters. 439. ■t)^ Here, then, we find southern courts — courts of now seceding States — su...stain- ing the very position which we now take, and for which we are denounced as sectional, and as enemies to the South. The gentleman from Virginia, [Mr. Millson, ] whose candor and ability al- ways command the attention of this House, advanced a new, and, as I think, a most untenable argument, in behalf of the right of the master to take his slave into the Territory. He says : " A slave is a man. He is a responsible man ; responsible to our laws, reponsible to God. He is a person ; a person held to service ; and it is because he is a person, that tbe position of the South before this Congress and in the Constitution is impreg- nable.
