it is now a source of consolation to me that I
pursued the course I then adopted. ..
The doctrines which the late Baltimore Cott

nation, is, in itnbstance, that the laws I have
referred to sere but so many violations of the
constitution-±that this instrument confers no
power on Congress to exclude slave,ry from the

tence .of OEI power in question and the ex
pediency of { exercising it whenever the occa
sion for so',doing arrives, we have the best
reason to knw. ~, . : , • ' -
The powe the existence of which is:at this
date day, denied' is, in my opinion, fully grant
,ed to Congreis by the constitution. Its lan
guage, the circumstances under which it was
adopted, the `recorded explanations which ac
companied its formation—tha, construction it
has received from onr'highest judicial tribunals
and the very !solemn and repeated confirmations
it has derived from the measures of the gov
ernment--leive not the shadow of a doubt in
my mind in regard to the authority of Congress
to exercise- the power in question. This.is not
a new opinion on my part, nor the first occa
sion on which it has been 'avowed., While a
candidate of iny friends for the presidency, I
{distinctly announced my opinion in favor of,
{ the power of Congress to abolish slavery. in
the District Of Columbia, although I - was, for
reasons which •were then, .and.lire still sat
isfactory
to my mind, very decidedly opposed
to its exercise there. Tbei question of power
is certainly as clear in respect to the tern-
tories as it is in regard to; that District:—
and. as to the territories my Opinion was. also
made known 0 a still , more, solemn' form, by
giving the executive approval required by the
constitution, to the bill for the organization of i
the territorial government of lowa, which pro- ,
Whited the introduction of slavery into that
territory. :
The opinion from which we dissent was giv
en in the face ; of, and directly contrary to th e
rvieWs expressed, in forms the most solemn-and
Hexplicit, Ilyall or nearly all the non-slavehold-
Statek and we are not at libeFty to suspect
litho sincerity iof - these expressions. Honest
rand well meaning men, as we know the masses
4 ions. : politic a lfriends in those states to be,
are, incapable of trifling with so grave a sub
feet- •
Our ancestors signalized the commencement
of this gloriouS goverment of ours, by rescu
&ng from subjection to slavery, a territory
which is now Covered by five great states and
peopled by mope than four millions of freemen
to the full enjoyment of every blessing which
industry and 1 good institution's can confer.
They did this when the opinions and conduct
of the world in regard to the institution- of
slavery were very different from what it is
now.
They did sobefore Great , Britain had even
commenced those gigantic efforts for the sup
pression of slavery, by which she has so greatly
distinguished herself. After seventy-four years
enjoyment of the sacred and invaluable right
of self-govermient, obtained - for us by the va
lor and discretion of our ancestors, we, their
descendant's, aie called upon to doom, or if that
too strong a word, to- expose to the inroad
of slavery a territory capable of sustaining an
equal number of new states to be addell to our
I e6nfederacy—= at territory in a great part of
Which slavery bus never existed in fact, and
I from the residue of which it has been express
ly abolished by the existing government We
e called upon ;to do this at a period when the
minds of nearly all mankind bare been pene
trated by a eoni-ietion of .the evils of slavery,
and are united in efforts for its suppression—
at moment, to, when`the spirit of freedom'
and reform is I everywhere far more prey
ilent
thao it haS ever been, and when our Re-1
public stands proudly as the great exemplar
'Of, the world in the science of government.
Who can believe that a population like that
' Which inhabits the ;' non-slavoholding States.
probably amounting to twelve millions, who
by their own acts, or by the foresight of oth
ters, have been exempted from the evil§ of sla- '
(very, can, at su4h a moment, be induced, by
i Considerations 4 - any description, to snake a'
retrograde movement of a character so extra- .
I Ordinary and so; painful it Such a , movement
Itvould, in my view of the matter, and I say it
!with. unfeigned deference to the conflicting
I trpinions of others, bring reproach upon the in-
I thience of free institutions, which would de-.
light the hearts; and excite the hopes of the
'advocates of arbitrary power throughout the
World.

positions are nuassillable. The movement to

The depaiture of tht: army from Mexico will
