IMI=MMI No such power "to exercise exclusive legss . .lation in all eases whatsoever," nor, indeed, any legislation in any case whatsoever, is con . ferred on Congreee in respect to the municipal affairs and internal polity either of the States or of the territories. On the contrary, after the Constitution had been finally adopted, with its federal powers delegated, enumerated and defined, in order to guard, in all future time, against any posssible infringement of the re served rights of the States,' or of the people, an amendment was incorporated into the Con stitution which marks the dividing line be tween federal and local authority, so directly and indellibly, that no lapse of time, no parti • Ban prejudice, no sectional aggrandizement, no frenzied fanaticism can efface it. The amend ment is in thesis words: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved by the States respectively, or to the people!" This view of the subject is confirmed, if in deed any corroborative evidence is required, by reference to the proceedings and debates of the federal contention, as reported by Mr. Madison. On the 18th of August, after a se ries of resolutions had been adopted as the basis of the proposed constitution and referred to the committee of Detail for the purpose of being put in proper form, the record says: "Mr. Madison submitted. in order to be referred to the Committee of Detail, the following powers, as proper to be added to those of the General Legislature (Congresso " To dispose of the unappropriated lands of the United States. .-To institute temporary governments for the now . States arising therein. "To regulate affairs with the Indians, as well within RS without the limits of the United States. "To exercise exclusively letrislativeautbority at use seat of the general government, and over a district around the same not exceeding - square miles, the I consent of the Legislature of the State or States comp', sing the same being first obtained!' Here we find the original and rough draft of .these several powers as they now exist, in their revised form, in the Constitution. The provision, empowering Congress "to dispose of the unappropriated lands of the United States," was modified-and enlarged so as to in clude " other property belonging to the United States" and to authorize Congress to "make all needful rules and regulations " for the preservation, management, and sale of the same. _ The provision empowering Congress "to institute temporary governments for the new States arising i n the unappropriated lands of the United States," taking in connection with the one empowering Congress to exercise exclusive legislative authority at the seat of the general government, and over a district of country - around the saine," clearly shows the difference in the extent and nature of the powers intend ed to be conferred in the new States or terri tories on the one hand, and in the district of Columbia on the other. fir the one case it was proposed to institute temporary govern - ments for the new States," or territories as they are now called, just es our revolutionary fathers recognized the right of the British crown to institute local governments for the colonies by issuing charters, under which the people of the colonies were "enti tled (according to the bilk of the rights adopt ed by the continental Congress) to a free and exclusive power of legislation, in their several provincial legislatures, where their right of representation cau alone be preserved, in all cases of taxation and internal polity;" while in the other ease, it was proposed to authorize Congress to exercise exclusively, legislative authority over the municipal and internal poli ty of the people residing within the district which ehould he ceded for that purpose as the seat of the general government. Each of these prollsions was modified and perfected by the Committees of Detail and Revision, as will appear by comparing them with the corresponding clauses as finally incor porated into the Constitution. The provision to authorize Congress to institute temporary governments for the new States and territories, and to provide for their admission into the Union, appears in the Constitution in this form =EI OEM , • ; MEE "New States may be admitted 4y the Congress into this Union." The power to admit " neu: States," and to "niake all laws which shall be necessary and proper" to that end, may fairly be construed to include the right to institute temporary gov ernments for such new States or territories, the same as Great Britain could rightfully insti tute similar govornments the colonies; but certainly not to authorize Congress to legis late in respect to their municipal affairs and internal concerns, without violating that great fundamental principle in defense of which the battles of the Revolution were fought. If judical authority were deemed necessary to give force tp principles so eminently just in themselves, and which forth the basis of our en tire political system, such authority may be -found in the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Dred Scott case. In that case the court says : "This brings us to examine by what piovision of the Constitution the iimsent Fe,lend Government, under its delegated and restricted powers. is authorized to acquire territory •utside of the original limits of the United States, and what powers it may exercise therein over the person or property of a citizen of the United States, while it remains a Terra, iry, and until it shall be admit ted as ono of the States of the Union, . . . _ .. ... . _ "There ili certainly no power given by the Constitu tion to the Federal ttoveriunent to estairlish or maintain Colonies, bordering on the United States or atm distance. to be ruled and governed at its own pleasure; nor to en large its territerud 'Units in any way except by the ad mission anew States.. . . . . "The power to expand the territory of the United States by the admission of new States is plainly given: and in the construction of this power by all the depart manta ef the Government, it has been held to authorize the acquisition of territory, not fit for admission at the time, but to he admitted as soon as its population and situation would entitle it to admission. It is acquired to become a State, and not to be held as a Colony and gov erned by Congress with absolute authority; and as the propriety of admitting a new Slate is committed to the sound discretion of Congress, the power to acquire ter ritory for that purpose, to be held by the United States until it is in a suitable condition to become a State upon an equal footing with the other States, must rest upon the same discretion." Having determined the question that the power to acquire territory for the purpose of enlarging the territory limits, and increasing the number of States, is included within the power to admit new States, and conferred by the same clause of the Constitution, the court proceed to say that " the power to acquire, necessarily carries with it the power to pre serve and apply to the purpose for which it was acquired." And again, refering to a former decision of the same court, in respect to the power of Congress to institute governments for the territories the court says : "The power stands firmly on the latter alternative put by the Court—that is, as "the inevitable consequence of the right to acquire territory. The poiver to acquire territory, as well as the right, in the language of Mr. Maddison, to " institue temporary governments for the new - States ariig therein" (or territorial govern ments, as they are now called,) having been traced to that provision of the Constitution which provides for the admission of " new States," the court proceed to consider the na ture and extent of the power of Congress over the people of the territores: "All we mean to say on tldspoint is, that , as there is no express regulation in the Constitution defining the power which the general government may exercise over the person or property of a citizen in a Territory thus acquired, the Court must necessarily look to the provis ions and principles of the Constitution, and its distribu. non of powers, for the rules and principles by which its decision must be governed. "Taking this ride to guide us, it may be safely as sumed that citizens of the United States, who emigrate to a territory belonging to the people of the United States, can not be ruled as mere coronists, dependent upon the w ill o f the general Government, and to be gov erned by any laws it may think proper to impose. , The territory being n part of the United States, the gov ernment and the citizen both enter it under the author ity of the Cor.stitution, with their respective rights de. .fined and marked out; and the Federal Governmentcan exercise no power over his person or property beyond what that instrument confers, nor lawfully deny any right which it has reserved." Hence, inasmuch as the constitution has con ferred on the federal government no righs to interfere with the property, domestic relations, police regulations, or internal polity of the people of the territories, it necessarily follows, under the authority of the court, that Congress , can rightfu ly exercise no such power over the territories. For this reason alone, the Siipreme Court were authorized and compelled to pro nounce the eighth section of the act approved March 6, 1820 (commonly called the Missouri compromise) inoperatiVe and void:--there being no power delegated to Congress in the condi tion authorizing Congress to prohibit slavery in the territories. In the course of the discussion of thisques tion the court gave an elaborate exposition of the structure, principles, and powers of the federal government; showing that it possesses. no powers except those which are delegated, enumerated and defined in the constitution . and that all•other poWers are either prohibited altogether or are reserved to the States or the people. In' order to show that the prohibited, as well as the delegated powers are enumerated and defined in the constitution, the court 'enu merated cdrtain_powers which cannot be eter- Oked . ,either by Congress or by the titriumiai The Dividing Lb . 4e Between Federal and Lcieiti Authority POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY IN TERRITORIE BY STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS [From Harper's Magazine, for September]. legislatures, or,hy any other authority what ever, for thshildorpre reason that they are for bidden by the constitution. Some perilous Who.haid not examined criti • • • .. tally the opinion of the. court in this respect have been induced to.belie*e that the slavery question WAS ineltided in. this class of prohibited Rowers, and that the court had decided in the Eked Scott case thatl,be territorial legislature could not legislate in , respect to slave property, the same as all other property . in the territories. A few extracts from the opinion of the court will correct this error, and show clearly the class of powers to which the court referred, as being forbidden alike to the federal govern ment, to the States, and to the territories. The court say : - - • "A'reference to a few of the provisions of the Consti tution will illustrate this proposition. For example, no one, we presume, will contend that Congress can make any law in a territory respecting the establishment of re ligion, or the free exercise thereof; 6r abridging the freedom of speech or ofi e t : Lo t resa, or the right of the people of the Territory y to•saserritae, and to pe tition the Govermbent for the redress of grievances. " Nor can Congress deny to the people the right to keep and bear arms, nor the right to trial by jury, nor compel any one to be a witness against himself in a criminal proceeding. .. So too, it will hardly be contended that Congress could by law quarter n soldier in a house in a territory without the consent of the owner in a time of peace; nor : in time of war but in a manner prescribed bylaw. Nor could they by law for feit the properly ofit'clhaen in a Territory who was con victed of treason, for a 100 period than the life of the person convicted, nor take private property for publio use without lust compensation. "The powers over persons and property of which we speak, are not only not granted to Congress, but are in express terms denied, and they are forbidden to exer cise them. And this prohibition is not confined to the States, but the words are eral, and extend to the whole territory over whichthe Constitution gives it power to legislate, including those portions of it remain ing under territorial governments, as well as that cov ered by the State. " is a total absence of power, everywhere within the dominion of the United States, and places the citizens of a Territory, so far as these rights are concerned, on the same footing with citizens of the States, and guards them as firmly and plainly against any inroads which the gen eral government might atterript, under the plea of plied or incidental powers. And if Congress itself can not do this—if it is beyond the powers conferred on the fed eral government—it will be admitted, we presume, that it could not authorize a territorial government to exer cise them. It could confer no power on any local gov ernment, established by its authority, to violate the pre visions of the Constitution. Nothing can be more certain than that the court were here speaking only ofJorbidden pow ers, which were denied alike to Congress, to the State Legislature, and to the Territorial Legislatures; and that the prohibition extends "everywhere within .the dominions of the United States," applicable equally to States and territories, as well as to the United States. If this sweeping prohibition—this just, but inexorable restriction upon the powers of the governmet—tederal, State and terri torial—shall ever bo held to include the slavery question, negativing the right of the people of States and territories, as wellaa the federal government to control it by law, (and it will be observed that in the opinion of the court " the citizens of a territory, so far as them rights are concerned, are on the same Cootie" ' as the citizens of the States,") then, indeed, will the doctrine become firmly estab lished that the principles of law applicable to African slavery are unorm throughout the dominion of the United States, and that there " is an irrepressible conflict between opposing and enduring forces, which means that the United States must and will, sooner or later, become either entirely a slavebolding nation or entirely a free labor nation." Notwithstanding the disastrous consequences which would inevitably result from the author itive recognition and practical operation of such a doctrine, there are those who maintain that the court referred to and included the; slavery question within that class of forbidden powers, which (although the same in the terri tories as in the States) could not be exercised .by the people of the territories. If this proposition were true, which fortu nately for the peace and welfare of the whole country. it is not, the conclusion would inev itably result, which they logically deduce from the premises—that the constitution by the re cognition of slavery establishes it in the terri tories beyond the power of the people to con trol it by law, and guarantees to every citizen the right to go there and be protected in the enjoyment of his slave property; and when all other remedies fail for the protection of such rights of property, it becomes the imperative duty of Congress,(to the performance of which every member is bound by his conscience and his oath, and from which-no consideration of political policy or expediency can release him) to provide by law such adequate and complete protection as is essential to the full enjoyment of an important right secured by the constitu tion. If the proposition be true, that the con stitution establishes slavery in the territories beyond the power of thepeople legally to con trol it, another result, nu less startling, and from which there is no escape, must inevitably follow. The constitution is uniform "every where within the dominions of the United States"—is the same in Pennsylvania as in Kansas—and if it be true, as stated by the President in a special message to Congress, "that slavery exists in Kansas by virtue of the constitution of the United States," and that "Kansas is, therefore, at this moment, as much a slave State as Georgia or South Carolina," why does it not exist in Pennsylvania by vir tue of the same constitution ! If it be said that Pennsylvania is a sov ereign State, and therefore has a right to reg ulate the slavery question within her own limits to suit herself, it must be borne in mind that the sovereignty of Pennsylvania, like that of every other State, is limited by the con stitution, which provides that: "The Constitution. and all laws of the United States winch shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all trea ties nuideor which shall tie made, under the authority of theATnited States, shall be the supreme late of Me land, and 'th - n judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Unatitution or lams of any Stale fd., the matrary noticilhstaathng," Hence, the State of Pennsylvania, with her constitution and laws, and domestic institu- Lions, and internal policy, is subordinate to the Constitution of the United States, in the same common manner, and to the same extant as in the Territory of Kansas. The Kansas-Ne braska act says that the Territory of Kansas shall exercise legislative power over "all rightful subjects of legislation consistent with the the Constitution," and that the people of said Territory shall be left "perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States." The provisions of this act are believed to be in entire harmony with Constitution, and under them the people of Kansas possess every right, privilege, and im munity, in respect to their internal polity and domestic relations which the people of Penn sylvania can exercise under their constitu tion and laws. Each is invested with full, complete, and exclusive powers in this respect, "subject only to the Constitution of the United States." The question recurs then, if the constitution does establish slavery in. Kansas or any other territory beyond the power of the people to control it by law, how can the conclusion be resisted that slavery is established in like man ner and by the same authority in all the States of tlfe Union ? And if it be the imperative duty of Congress to provide by law for the protection of slave property in the territories upon the ground that "slavery exists in Kan sas" (and consequently in every other terri tory,) "by virtue of the constitution of the United States," why is it not also the duty of Congress, for the same reason, to provide sim ilar protection to slave property in all the States of the Union, when the legislatures fail to furniih such protection ? Without confessing or attempting to avoid the inevitable consequences of their own doc trine, its advocates endeavor to fortify their position by citing the Dred Scott decision to prove that the constitution recognizes property in slaves—that there is no legal distinction be tween this and every other description of prop erty—that slave property and every other kind of property stand on an equal footing—that Congress has no more power over the one than over the other—and, consequently, cannot dis criminate between them. Upon'this point the court say : Now as we have already . said Man earlier part of this opinion upon a different point, the right of property in a slave is distinctly arid expressly affirmed in the Con stitution. . . And Af the Constitution recognizes the right of property or the master in a slave, and makes no distinction - between that description of property and other property owned by a citizen, no tribunal acting under the authority of the United States, whether it be legislative, executive, or judicial,. has a right to draw such &distinction, or deny , to it the benefit of the pro visions and guarantees which have been provided for the protection of private 'Property against the encroach ments of the government. .. .. . And the govern ment ill express terms is pledged to protect it in all fu ture time, if the alone escapes from his manor. This is done in plain words--too plain to he misunderstood. And no word can be found in the Constitution which gives Con gress a greater power over slave:property, or which enti tles property of that kind to less protection than proper ty of any other description. The only power conferred is the power coupled with the duty of guardingand pro tecting the owner in his tights." The rights of the owner which it is thus made the duty of the federal government to guard and protect, are those expressly provided for in the constitution, and defined in clear and explict language by the court, that " the gov ernment, in express terms, is pledged to pro tect it (slave property) in all future tizne,:if the slaiT escapes from his owner." This is the only contingency, according to the plain read ing of the constitution; as authoritively Inter pretedlythe Supreme Court, in which the fed eral government is authorized, required, or per unttedy) interrere with slavery in the States or territories ; and in that case only for the pur pose "of guirrding and protecting the owner in his rights .to reclaim his slave property. In all other respects slaves stand on the same foot ing with all other . property 7 --" the constitution makes no distillation between that description of property and other property owned by a cit izen ;" and "no word can be found in the •onstitution which gives Congress a greater power over slave property, or which entitles property of that kind to less protection than property of any other description." This is the basis upon which all rights pertaining to slave property, either in the States or the territories, stand under the constitution as expounded by the Supreme Court in the bred Scott case. Inasmuch as the constitution has delegated no power to the federal government in respect to any other kind of property belonging to the citizen--neither introducing, establishing, pro hibiting nor excluding it any where within the dominion of the United States, but leaves the the owner thereof perfectly free to remove into any State or Territory and carry his prop erty with him, and hold the same subject to the local law, and relying upon the local au thorities for protection, it follows, according to the decision, of the Court., that slave property stands on the same footing, is entitled to the same rights and immunities, and in like man ner is dependent upon the local authorities and laWs for protection. The Court refer to that clause of the Con stitution which provides for the rendition of fugitive slaves as their authority for saying that "the right of property in slaves is dis tinctly and expressly affirmed in the Constitu tion." By reference to that provision, it. will bo seen that, while the word "slaves" is not used, still the Constitution not only recognizes the right of property in slaves, as stated by the Court, but explicitly states what class of Persons shall be deemed slaves, and under what aws or authority they may be hold to servitude, and tinder what circumstances fugit,ve slaves shall be restored to their owners, all in the same section, as follows: " Noperson held to service or labor in one State. ua der the, lairs thereof, escaping into another, shall, in con sequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due." Thus it, will be seen theta slave, within the meaning of the Constitution, is "a person held to labor in one State, under the laws thereof " not under the Constitution of the United States, nor by the laws thereof, nor by virtue of any federal authority whatsoever, but under the laws of the particular State where such service or labor may be duo. It was necessary to give this exact defini tion of slavery in the constitution in order to satisfy the people of the South as well as of the North. Tho slaveholding States would never consent for a moment that their domestic rela tions—and especially their right of property in their alave.s—should be dependent upon federal authority, or that Congress should have any power over the subject—elther to extend, con fine, or restrain it; much less to protect or reg ulate it—lest under the pretense of protection and regulation, the federal government, under the influence of the strong end increasing anti slavery sentiment which prevailed at that peri od, might destroy the Institution, and divest those rights of property in slaves which were sacred under the laws and constitutions of their respective States so long as the federal govern ment had no power to interfere with the sub -ect. In like manner the non-slaveholding States, while they were entirely willing to provide for the surrender of all fugifive slaves—as is eon. elusively shown by the unanimous rote of all the States in the Convention for the provision now under consideration—and to leave each State perfectly free to hold slaves under its own laws, and by virtue of its own separate and exclusive authority, so long as it pleases, and to abolish it when it chose, were unwilling to become responsible for its existence by incor porating it into the Constitution as a national institution, to be protected and regulated, ex tended and controlled by federal authority, regardless of the wishes of the people, and in defiance of the local laws of the several States and territories. For these opposite reasons the Southern and Northern States united in giving a unanimous vote in the Convention for that provision of the Constitution which recognizes slavery as a local institution in the several States where it exists, - under the laws thereof," and provides for the surrender of fu gitive slaves. It will be observed that the term "Suite" is used in this provision, as well as in various other parts of the Constitution, in the same sense in which it was used by Mr. Jefferson in his plan for establishing governments for the new States in the territory ceded and to be ceded to the United States, and by Mr. Madi son in his proposition to confer on Congre,,s power to "institute temporary governments for the nrtr Slates arising in the unappropriated lands of the United States," to designate the political communities, Territories as well a, States, within the dominion of the United States. The word "States" is used in the same sense in the ordinance of the 13th .of July, 1787. for the government of the territory northwest of the river Ohio, which was passed by the remnant of the CongreSs of the Con federation, sitting in New York while its moat eminent members were at Philadelphia, as del egates to the federal convention, aiding in the formation of the Constitution of the United States. In this sense, the word - States " is used iii the clause providing for the rendition of fugi tive slaves, applicable to all political communi ties under the authority of the United Stat, including the territories as well as the several States of the Union. Under any other con struction the right of the owner to recover his slave would be restricted to the Slates of the. Union, leaving the territories a secure place of refuge for all fugitives. The same remark is applicable to the clause of the Constitution which provides that " a person charged in any State with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be found in another State, shall on the demand of the ezeßutive au thority of the State from which he had fled, be delivered up to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime. Unless the term State, as used in these provisions of the Con stipAtion, shall bo construed to include every disttct political community under the jurisdie tiojkof the United States, and to apply to ter ti ri tics as a well as to the States of the Union, tbiterritories must become a sanctuary for all th,, •fugitives from service and justice, for all the felons and criminals who shall escape from the several Stotts and seek refuge and immuni ty in the territories. If any other illustration were necessary to show that the political communities, which we now call territories, (but which, during the whole period of the confederation and the for mation of the constitution, were always refer red to as "States" or " New States,") are rec ognized as "States" in some of the provisions of the constitution, they may be found in those clauses which declare that " no State" shall enter into any "treaty, alliance or con federation ; grant letters of marque and re prisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a ten der in payment of debts; pass any bill of at tainder, ex post facto law, or law, impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility." It must be borne in mind that in each of these cases where the power is not expressly delegated to Congress the prohibition is not imposed upon the federal government, but upon the States. There was no necessity for any such prohibition upon Congress or the fed eral government, for the reason that the omis sion to delegate any such powers in the Consti tution was of itself a prohibition, and so 'de clared in express terms by the tenth amend ment, which declares that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Consti tution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Hence, it would certainly be competent for the States and Territories to exercise these powers but for the prohibition contained in those provisions of the constitution ; and inas much as the prohibition only extends to the "States," the people of the "Territories" are still at liberty to exercise them, unless the Territo ries are included within the term States, with in the meaning of the provisions of the Con stitution of the United States.
