Mr. CHAIRMAN : How far Congress can
IPgjilale fur the territories, and admit new
'States into the Union, has been matter of
grave discussion.
'rite power to admit new States is ex-1
pressly given by the Constitution. But,
the extent of that power is by no means
settled. In my judgment, it refereoaly
to new States forniet, out of territory.pre
viously. belonging to the nation. Stiehl'
was the opinion of Mr. Jenlartion, and I
have never seen it successfully controtert-i
ed. Clearly that clause conferred no'di-1
„.._
plomatie powers on Congress. ' tonse-1
quently, Congress could enter into no ne
gotiation with foreign Powers ; that I
would be so act of diplomacy. The right '
to admit foreign independent ;nations in.'l
to the confederacy is ,nowhere, ear* to
Congress, either by direct grantor neCtve- .
nary implication. Ido not belie*e it, et:
ins any where, „except with the
making power. This question Will, pro.

several offices, and among them the high-,
est in territorial Government established
by Congress. lie acknowledged the ex- '
elusive power of Congress over thessoind
its power to exclude slavery from them,—
Ile was prepared to vote fot the Wilmot
Proviso, and expressed great regret that
he was deprived of the opportueity, by a
debate which was protracted to the end of
the session of 1846. There seemed but
little hope that his judgment, thus mature&
his opinion formed with care, and eoneoli•
dated by the action of a long life, could ev
er be so changed as to entitle him to South
ern support. But miracles have not ceas,
ed in the moral. whatever may be the cane
in the physical world. Southern alchemy
was applied ; strui,ghtway a shaking was
seen among the dry bones, and he stood'
up, regenerated, il um i nated, and transform ,
ed. The scales fell from his ancient eyes,
and he saw bright visions. Ile now denies
to Congress the least power over the Ter
ritories ! To vindicate, not his consis
tency, for that is hopeles, but his honesty,
he has devoted thirty odd mortal pages of
a veecli, to show the error indulged in for
the last sixty years, by Congresses, by
Presidents, by Supreme Courts, by Con
stitutional writers, and by himself.
I shall not attempt to follow his labor
ed argument, especially as very few of
his southern allies now endorse it. All,
however, must ti, , el sincere regret that he
changed his opinions wider such peculiar
circumstances.
My opinion as to the rrtent of Ihe pow
er of Congress in legislating for the Ter
ritories, differs somewhat from those who
admit the general and exclusive power.
The supreme court, the ultimate arbiter
fixed by the people finally to decide all
questions arising under the constitution
end laws of Congress, have. by repeated
decisions, derived the exclusive power of
Congress to legkelate for the territories
from the clause in the constitution which
say.—""The Congress shall have power
in dispose of and make all needful rules
and regulations respecting the territory
am! other properly of the United Slates.
I do not suppose
,that any branch of
this (iovernment is at liberty practically
to disregard these decisions. It would be
: 4 a improper in'the President. Congress. or
any other functionary of the Slovernment,
as it would be in all individual. In him
u would be a 'tuisdimicatior. 11 it were
now on open question, I should hesitate to
rest wholly upon that part of die constitu-
noir. Them is much weight in the argil-.
uncut is that "Territory" is used in the .
singular' number; a . nil coupled with the

A digtinguislied Senator 'from Ken
. tacky (Mr. CLAY,' controverts this doe.
1 trine, and holds that Congress can abolish,
prohibit, or establish shoreri s in the_ Terri
tories.
I can agree to neither of these proposi
tions. In support of the first, it is argued
that the prohibition of slavery would vio
late the provision of the constitution which
shy - lA[oo4le citizens of each State shall

iby express local law; and that, wherever
i the slave is beyond the jurisdiction of such
local law, no matter hew he gets there, he
is free. 'Flits has never been doubted
!since the celebrated decision by Nord
Mansfield, in the case of the negro Sum
morsel'. Nor does it make any differ
ence whether th e slave jurisdiction or the
free jurisdiction belong to the same orslif.
1 tercet Governments. By the C 071174011
!law, if a slave -escapes from a -Slave into a
free State, lie is free. That principle of
the common low, however, is prevented
from operating in the States by a clause in
I the Constitution. But it is in full force
in the Territories, to which that provision
I (loos not extend. 'l'ha master, therefore,
who takes his slave into free Territories,

of State rights and- legislation must be'

This Bill of Rights of the American na
.tion declare* liberty to be an inalienable
right. Nor - -does the Constitution give
Congress any .power to restrain or take a
way the-right, except in' the ease of fugi
tives from labor into other Slates.- The
legislative power of the several States is
controlled by. • Similar printiples. They
havegenerally .formed a Declaration or
Bill of Riglitstvf their own.
. I find that every free State has adopted
a Bill of Rights similar to the following,
which arc to be lowed in those of Massia
clausetts and Now Ilampriliire :."All men
are born free and equal. and have certain
natural, essential, and inalienable rights ;
among which are the right of enjoying and
defending their lives and liberties ; and
that of acquiring, possessing, and protest
ing property.",
Those eOnatitutirins nowhere prohibit
their Legislatures from establishing slave
ry, or violating vested rights. Yet I sup
pose that no sound statesman would con
tend that-they could do either, because it
would he inconsistent with the fundamen
tal principles of their Government. as ex
presseitin their Bill of Rights. it would,
in my judgment. be equally preposterous
to assert thitt 'Congress possessed such
power, uteri the Bill of Rights of the na
tion declares liberty to be •inalienable."
[think il - folloWs inevitably, that Con
gress may abolish or prohibit slavery
Whenever it hos exclusive jurisdiction, but
can establishitnowhere;
rshoultl not have deemed it necessary
to give any reasons now for such exclit- '
skin, had it:not been lately repeatedly con
tended on this floor, and in the Senate,
that Slavery is a blessing. Northern gen
tlemen have here said that they do not
view it with much horror ; and my col
leagtfe sfroin Luzerne [ Butler] looks
upon it as a religious or divine institution, if
1 rightly understood him. This seems to
render it proper again to examine the
character of the institution. Thts, I ant
•
aware, will bring down upon me all its
Vellolll.
When I ventured some time since to
give my opinion freely of the real condi
tion and evils of slavery, I expected to be
assailed hy 'the defenders of the institution.
While that greatest, moat honest, and must
fearless, of modern statesmen. olio was
stricken &Wu by death in this Ball. was
almost enatied, defending human rights,
and denouncing the horrors of slavery, we
saw him, from year to year, the object of
the bitterest personal abuse in this 'louse,
and by the slave press everywhere. No
motives were too foul to impute to him ;
no crimes too atrocious to charge upon
him. It was sooglit to expel him from
this body ; and it was prevented only by
his own gallant defence. Sir, 1 trust it
will not be supposed that I have the vani
ty, to expect to be ' touched by any of the
•rayti of that glory which will forever sur

which he endured in this high and holy
cause. But if l couhl indulge ouch hopes,
genUemeu from South. and those who
are no .gentlemen from the North, are
kindly contributing to myambitious aspi

ed of sufficient importance to attract atten

acts and our rernerlts here are legitimate
subjects of commentated rigid examination ;
and when any humble effort of mine shall
receive such motice in the only way which
genlleinas will Teretee, it wilt give me
pleasure to retract what I am convinced is

ever severe may be the criticism.

it is a spurious imposition. and nut the wool, of the

I have before me a work by clergymen
who maintain the alum doctrine. They
descant largely on the comforts of slavery.
One Of the heads of this pious discourse is,
"Slarcry is a beneficent institution!"
I know there-are many degrees in the
miseries of slavery. Some masters treat
their servants with great kindness; others
more severely ; others with merciless cruel
ty, according to theii dispositions, for that
alone governs their conduct. But, not
withstanding thii diversity in suffering, he
must have a cuticula bean who can speak
of the beneficence of slavery.
Dante, hyactuntobseivation, makes hell
c onsist of nine circles, thn punishments of
each increasing in intensity over the pre
eteding. Those donated ..to the first cir
de are much less afflicted than those in the
ninth, where are tortured Lucifer and Ju
das .Iscariot—end 1 trust, in the next edi

horrible hell! if 1' might venture a sug

Hut suppose it were true that the man- j
ters had become more severe ; has it not
been so with tyrants in every age! The
nearer the oppressed is to freedom, and
the more hopetill his struggles, the tighter
the master rivets his Julius. Moses and
Aron urged the emancipation of the en
slaved Jews. '('heir inamter.herdened his
heart. Those fanatical abolitionists, gu hi-
.rd by Heaven. agitated 'anew. Pharoh
increased the burden of Ain slaves. fie
required the same quantity of brick from
them without straw, as when the straw i
had been found them. They were seen
dispersed and wandering to gather stubble,
to make out their task. They failed, and
were beaten with stripes. Moses was
their worst enemy, according to these phil
arithropie gentlemen. Did the Lord think
so, and command him to desist, lest be
should injure them No; he directed
him to agitate again, and demand the abo
lition of slavery from the King himself.—
this great slaveholder still hardened kis
heart, and refused. The Lord visited him
with successive plagues—lice, frogs, 10-:
(lists. thick darkness—until, as the agita
leioil'greiilitglie-r, and - the Chains• 'were
tighter drawn, he smote the first-born of
every . house in Egypt ; nor did the slave-'
holder relax the grasp On his victims, until
there was wailing throughout the whole
land, over one dead in every family, from
the king that sat on the throne to the cap
tive in the dungeon. So 1 fear it will ho in
this land of wicked slavery. You have ;
already among you whet is equivalent to
the lice and locusts, that wither up every
green thing where the loot of slavery treads.
Beware of the final plague. And you, in
the midst of slavery, who are willing to do
justice to the people, take care that your
-works testify to the purity of your inten
tions, even at some cost. Take care that;
your door-posts are sprinkled with the
blood of sacrifice, that when the destroy- ,
bug angel goes forth, as go forth he will,
lie may pass you by.
Aside from the principle of Eternal Hight,
I will never consent to the admission of
another slave State into the Union, (unless
bound to do so by some constitutional rota
pact and I know of none such,) on ac
count of the injustice of slave reprseele- . ,
tion. Ily the Constitution, not only the
States now in the Union, hut all that stay
hereafter be admitted, arc entitled to have
their slaves represented in Congress, five
slaves being counted equal to three white f
freemen. This is unjust to the free States. I
unless. you allqw theta the representation
in the compound ratio of persoua and prop
erty. There are twenty-five gentle Men
on this floor who are virtually the repre
sentatives of slaves alone, having not one
free constituent. This is an outrage on
every representative principle, Which sop•
poses that representatives have constitu
ents, whose will they are,tieurid to Obey,
and whose interest.they protect.

be increased, for it already possesses a
power dangerous to the constitution,, In

from Tennessee [Mu. Gentry] He said the
the "Compromise" bill was winning favor with ,
the People, most of whom had never read it,
merely because it was advocated by great names
in whom they are accustomed to confide.
Late events have convinced me that it were
better in republican, representative Governments,
where the People are to judge and decide on eve
ry measure, if there were no great overshadow.
ing names, to give factitious force to their views.
and lead the public mind captive. It the People
were to put-faith in no ,man's argument, they

The fate of the doh/promise Bill in thiamine
