Excerpt from The Address of the Southern and Western Liberty Convention: Held at Cincinnati, June 11 and 12, 1845, to the People of the United States, With Notes by a Citizen of Pennsylvania We cannot think that any unprejudiced student of the Constitution, examining it in the light of precedent action, and contemporary opinion, can arrive at any other conclusion than this. N O amendment of the Constitution would be needed to adapt it to the new condition of things, were every State in the Union to abolish slavery forthwith. There is not a line of the instrument which refers to slavery as a national institution, to be upheld by national law. On the contrary, every clause which ever has been or can be construed as referring to slavery, treats it as the creature of State law, and dependent wholly upon State law for its existence and continuance. So careful were the framers of the Constitution to negative all implied sanction of slaveholding, that not only were the terms slave, slavery, and slaveholding, excluded, but even the word servitude, which was at first inserted to express the condition, under the local law, of the persons who were to be delivered up, should they escape from one State into another, was, on motion of Mr. Randolph of 'virginia, stricken out, and service unanimously inserted, the former being thought to express the condition of slaves, and the latter the obligation of free persons.
