Thus the -rholc country had to be again thrown into a state of exiifement. tho vexed ques.' ion, -"which was "thought to have been settle 1 by the Compromise Measures of 8?0 had to bo again agitated the dy ing embers of Nor'hern and Southern fanaticism again to be f mnd into a flame. and all for what? Asa balm to the imaginary wound on the honor of the South ! . Strange. passing sfrangc, that it was left for the microscopic eyes of Mr. Touglass to discover this awful blemish on the fair escutcheon of Southern honor! For thirty years a Calhoun and a Clay could gaze upon hat dark spot upon the honor of their Southern homes, and never once setk itsre-! moval. But row, that both have passe 1 away, the mighty "giant of the West aiiscs the champion and defender of t't-ir wounded honor! And to ac complish his design, the Missouri Compromise, the work of our fathers, who pledged theirhonor in its support. made sa-crod too. as it is. by the name and the f ltr.c of Hcxbt Clav, had to bo trampled in tbe dust ! Nor was anyJhing of the kind sought by the Poath. Mr. Poulass wa.s a volunteer, acting upon his own responsibility, and to secure his o--n per. saaal ends. The Admini-t'ration. to recover is los' s rength. seized ho!d of the hobby, with the design of nationalizing itself and fell back upon ' the lit tle giant," who thus become at or.ee tho great ex ponent and embodiment of the principles of De mocracy, and tho,. parliamentary leader of tho Pierce faction in the Senate. And what, we may inquire is proposed to be ac complished by tbh unasked for legislation ? Why to settle a principle, they say, the right of the people ia the territories to establish or prohibit slavery themselves. They allege, that, under the Constitution.Coagress has no power to legislate up on the ques ion of slavery for the territories that the clause empowering them to -make a!l needful rules and regulations respecting the territory and other property of the United States," do s cot appty to this question. Now it would sc.ia very singular, indeed, that the states could not do what they please 1 wi.h their own property; certainly a very novel idea, thai Congress has power to mark lints, sell or give away any portjon of it exer cise ualimitel sovereignty over it in every other respect. -and yet have no. power to say whether sla very shall exist thoro or not! Eut tbe best evi lencc of tha meaning of a law. is the intention of the persons who-framed it, to be gathered from surrounding circumstances, as well as from the la v itself. Let us apply this rule to he Coi-s'i'ution, and what is the result? , The or dinance of 1737. of. which the Missouri Compro niu3 is sim'y an cx'er.sion was frame 1 at t'ii mm" immm mm I hlT the t t Vt T . that f rj!5"l J " eral Corra-tsiri.-a "- i illy I"7mnr.?s hen sitting in New Yotk; an 1 '.he o'her wa? fram ed by the" National Convention. assmb!ed for the pnrnose ia Philadelphia, which bodies were ia al mes' bour'y commuiijaiion w?ih each other, and leading members of each, attending in both by tarns! ' Now, is it to bo presumed for a moment that thcs men would one day prohibit Congress from legislating on slavery in convention, eari tho r.ext. enter the legi.dativa halls and enact a law establishing slavery in one- portion of the territo ries, and prohibiting it in another? There can. then, be no qaes ion as to the consti tutionality of the M:".uri Compromise; and sa fax from being tho erzVii'im-it of a principle, the passage of the Nebraska Bill has been an utter up rooting of all the compromises of the Constitution yea. we might almost say, of that very instrument i'cCif. What. then, it may b? cke 1 the position o" the two grat po'uijal p'ir'ieg of ibe country on the question!
