The Daily Dispatch: December 3, 1860., [Electronic resource], Secession movement at the South. (search)
ons within that State, reported that the same ought to pass, upon the ground that the act of 1858 is unconstitutional. After clearly stating the argument against the act, the committee proceed to say: While we retain this law on our statute book, we are estopped for very shame as a party in pari delicte from rebuking nullification or secession in other States. By repealing the law we shall perform an act of simple justice to ourselves and the States with whose rights the law conflicts, and shall do much to encourage the hope of patriotic men every where that the bond which has so long held the States in one great and prosperous Union may survive the perilous discontents of the time, and endure for ages to come. The bill which accompanied this report was reached on Tuesday, and, after an able speech in favor of its passage by Mr. Thomas, of West Fairies, it was rejected, two to one.--Twenty-five Republicans voted for the repeal of the law. The Legislature has adjourned.

have had no strong faith in the idea that the Northern States would repeal the personal liberty laws which stand upon their statute books. The first answer is from Vermont. The Legislature of that State has refused, by a vote of two to one, to repeal its act nullifying the laws of Congress, and has adjourned. The committee to whom the subject was referred, reported decidedly in favor of the repeal, and when the question was taken up in the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, it was discussed only on one side, according to report, and that side in favor of the repeal--Mr. Thomas, of Fairlee, making an able argument to show that the law ought to be repealed. The House then refused to repeal by two to one. It is stated that twenty-five Republicans voted for the repeal. As there are hardly any but Republicans in the Vermont Legislature, of course, where there is a division of sentiment there, it must be between Republicans, as there are not enough differing from them to be heard.
