Excerpt from Property in the Territories: Speech of Hon. Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio, Delivered in the Senate of the United States, March 7, 1860
Again, there is another provision in the lawi when you have got the certificate of the magis trate, the alleged fugitive can be taken out of the State in defiance of the writ of habeas corpus. Thus the law, in time of profound peace, strikes down this great writ of freedom, and in this I also agree with them. The law not only denies the writ of habeas corpus, but it also denies the trial by jury - an essen tial right. It is these portions of the law that render it so odious and unpopular. The people' know that its execution is attended with dangers to human freedom, and they are jeal ous of summary proceedings so extraordinary and unusual.
