Is it where he by chan,e is born
Doth not the yearning spirit scorn
In such scant borders to be spanned?

As the blue heaven wide and free I
Is it alone where freedom is,
Where Gqd is God and men is man ?
Dour he not claim a broader span,
For the soul's love of home than this?
0, yes! his fatherland must be -
As the blue herven wide and [tee I
Wbere'er a human heart doth wear
Joy's myrtle wreath or sorrow's gyres,
Where'er a human spirit strives
Af.er a life more true and fair,
There is the true man's birth-place grand,

Where'er a single slave doth pine,
Where'er one man may help another,—

AUSTIN, Texas. Aug. 20, 1460.
Dear Sir—Your letter of the 12th has this,
moment remelted me. Replying, I would ors)
that Congress has no powe- over the *Wiser
of slavery. The territories are hut the ere: -
tures of - Congress, and Congress, having
power to legislate upon the subject of slavery,
it cannot invest the territories with that whiet.
it does not possess. A territory can esereise
no p..wer whatever in relation to shivery.—
A Sint" may has the power to establish or
aoro►ish it. This is thn tree Democratic meet',
as I understood it, on the subject. A terri
torial curlew/64in preparatory to becoming
a State, can, by their constitution, may wheth
er they will o will not have slavery. This
is the whole sum of the matter.
