It denies him the privileges that he enjoyed in his own and several other states at the time.

All states were required to recognize slaves as legal property. That's that Article IV thing. Denying someone the use of their "property" is a fifth amendment violation. You didn't address that point. Slaves are being treated as a "special class" that is undefined in the constitution.

As for court cases moving in that direction, they fellow just claimed there were some, and told me to check out the Wilmont proviso, though I'm not sure what connection he wanted me to see regarding that.

I may look and see if I can find him again and ask for a clarification and some examples.

So? Article IV is not absolute.

“It denies him the privileges that he enjoyed in his own and several other states at the time.”

But it does not deny him the privilege’s and immunities of citizens of the State of New York. He is free to accept those conditions or look for another state to move to.

Show me the Court decisions that prohibit a State from outlawing slavery within the boundaries of that state.
