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

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.

THE ARTICLE THAT WILL NAM
RALLY restore the color of the hair, the changing
of which to gray. being an indication of a lack of proper
secretions, is truly a valuable medicine. Prof. Wood's
lan Toxic is the only safe remedy for baldness, dry
ness. premature change of color, and the several evi
dences of a lack of secretions at the roots of the hair,
which can be found. Quack preparations abound, and
"hair tonics" fiJl every corner grocery in the country.
Avoid all " hair tomes" unless known to be the premo
nition of some man whose celebrity has become world
side. Do not let any nostrum vender experiment upon
your hair. Touch nothing you have not agood reason
to believe all that it purports to be. Prof. Woods has
earned by years of severe test of the virtues of his pre
paration, his prevent fame liver laucertifieates are tie
fore us of the value of this Hair Restorative, from par
ties who have tried it. Read the following:
NEw Yoss, April 15, 1358.—Da. WooriL. - Dear Sir:—Per
mit me to express to you the obligations I am underfor
the entire restoration of my Hair to its original color.
About the time of my arrival in the the United States it
was rapidly beliorning gray, but upon the application of
your Hair Restorative it soon recovered its original hue.
I consider your Revtorative as a very wonderful inven
tion, quite efficacious as well as agreeable.
I am, dear sir, yours truly. S. THALBERG.
