Tho sovereignty of ' tho I'nited States over the Territory in not denied plainly in words, but t"'r the suocofcs of tho argument on the other sido, it must he evaded. To escape the denial, and at tho same time t > invest tho inhabitants of a Territory \vith tho nbsoloto right to exorcise high nnd unquestioned attributes of sovereignty, it becomes necessary to apply a new term. It is aflirmed, therefore, that thev possess tiie inherent lights of self-government, because t'icy are political communities.- T lis term, therefore, is pressing into service mid made to answer all tho ends. It is in truth, however, only varying the ( phrase to describe the same condition. The only just political significance of political community is body politic, which, | >n the political sense, is nothing less than u State?a nation in which sovereignty j resides. Now, by what process have these | inhabitants arrived at tho dignity of a po- ' litieal community ? Did they go into the j territory and conquer it, and set themselves j up as a distinct people?a political com%a .. 9 A.. 1!i il * * * linnv :* v'r uiu mey, joints mere uuucr i the authority of the C nited rchvl, ; ,nn<l, l?y successful revolution, depose tin* , existing sovereignty nnd establish their , own? Purely hy neither, How, then,} can these comparatively few inhabitants be i said to have attained the inherent right of self-government, within the jurisdiction, j under the government mid control, and j within the territory of a sovereignty already acknowledged, whose land they occupy only by permission '( The only sense in which community can be logically made to sustain such a state of things, is that which assorts the right of all men, by the j law of nature, to appropriate all things? ! ii view which ignores civilization and all human law, governments and constitutions. | The general proposition that Congress, j having no other power over the subject of j slavery than a power coupled with the duty of protection, cannot confer higher powers i than it posseescs on a territorial I legislature ! is pronounced to be "as plausible as it is j fallacious. Hut that the reverse is true as ! a general rule. Now, it Avns expected that the claim of power of t'ougress to confer on the Tcrritori a 1 Legislature, powers other and greater ! than it possessed itself would he proven as coming under the general rule, or under some rule. This has not been doue, but other propositions are affirmed, by no means inconsistent with the first. It is affirmed " that every power confered on ( 'oilcross hv tllO ('inishtlltltm mm.' '> ? "> ' C "J N ,,,",5W V'.Vecutcd by Congress in the mode proscribed in the Constitution," and " tbnt Congress c.nnnot delegate any power that it does possess." liOt lis examine these a moment. It is perfectly true that Congress must exercise every power in the mode prescribed. Hut suppose there are grants of power with no mode of exercise prescribed. How then ? Are such powers not to be oxercised i at all '{ If this be true, then many of the most important powers granted to Congress must lie dormant forever. Let us take some of the powers which have been enumerated in support of this view. Congress shall have power to coin money, ifco. To raise nnd support armies, &c. To provide nnd maintain a navy. Now, there is no mode prescribed for the exercise of these important powers, and it is evident they cannot execute themselves. What theu is to be done? Arc they to lie dormant'( No, yet it is niani test that Congress cannot exercise thorn without tho employment of intciinediatft agencies. Congress will not bo expected to divide itself into committees for the purpose of coining money, one to assay the gold, another mix tho alloy, another to roll the bars, a fourth to stamp, <&e. All this would bo absurd. What then? Under the p.iwcr to make all laws necessary and proper to carry into effect the powers expressly granted, it will pass laws eroating proper agencies' to exercise the power of j (j.juiin- iiiuiivy uuunr uio supervision ami I control of C'ohgrcs3 Hut, can any rational | being Contend that because it lias the pow- i or to create and appoint agencies to carVv j into full effect tho exercise of a granted power, which it cannot itself conveuicntly ' exercise, that therefore, it can confer upon j such agencies greater power than it possess- i cs? Surely nut. And, how does this j differ in principle from the case in whieh ! Congress creates and appoints Territorial governments to exercise t he functions which : cannot conveniently do? Not at all.? ! 'T no ivou'cr of Congress to govern, tolegis- , l ite for, nnfl oreato Territorial governments' to give full effect io the power granted to that find, is derived from the very same Source. Then, whcuco is deduced the right to confer thoho greater powers? It must bo manifest that tho affirmation of tho duty of Congress " to exoroiso nil its powers in tho mode proscribed in tho Constitution" and the denial of right in Coniwj " to delegate any power it dues poss< /' uo in no inannor prove tint Oongros.i 1 pMivin ?. ...^11 It UUUO 1IUI. 1 On a 'jWritorinl' Legislature.

What then is the character of a Territorial Government? It is an agent, created by Congress. It derives its being from tho organic ant of Congress, which act is its charter?its Constitution. It has no power beyond it.? It ran have and exorcise only such as Congress confers, and Congress can confer on it no higher powers "than the Constitution permits. To maintain the claim of extra Constitutional power f'>ra Territorial Legislature, its advocates nro drawn to tho doctrine of revolution. Well, tho right of revolution is admitted ; but claims resting on that foundation n.t'.. t be ma le good by success. The vory assertion, however, of such doctrine, is an abandonment of the argument. An elaborate effort has boon made to establish au identity of relation between the (.'olonica to Great Britain and a Territory to tho 1'iiited States. The opinion of Mr, Madison on tlio eaiines of the Revolution is as follows: I will thank my friend to read it. Tho fundamental prineiplo of the Revolution was that the Colonics were co-ordinate members with each other, and with Great Britain ; of an Empire, united by a common Mtni'ill ii-n Iv.. a. - 1 14 -v..v- nvuiui^h, urn hoi imueu iiy any common legislative sovereign. The Legislative power whs maintained to be as compleio in each American parliament, as in tho British parliament. Ami the rovnl prerogative was in force in each colony, l>y virtuoof ils acknowledgment there. A denial of these principles by Grout Britain, ntul the assertion of tluni by America, produced the Revolution." Mr. Madison aihls, in substance, thrtt tacitly, and for convcnicncc. Great Britain was allowed to regulate the trade with foreign nations, anil between the dilfert nt parts of the Eiunire. But. when it. whs ?i,o? Parliament could legislate for the colonies in all eases whatsoever, it provoked suoli enquiry as shewed it could do so in no caso whatsoever. If then they stand in relations identical or analogous, what is tho true condition of tlio Territo: ios ? They are co-ordinate mombers with each other, and with tho United States, of a common Kinpire. The legislative power in tho Territories is as complete as in tho States and in the Congross. And Congress has no right to make laws fur them in any case whatsoever. Those, truly, are high pretensions, and, if well founded, the action of tho Federal Government, in relation to tho Territories, from the beginning, has been an idle farce. Let us now take n practical view of the question, awl sou how wc stand in relation to it. Anterior to 1850, the acquisition of territory from Mexico brought into full plav tho hostility of a !u*?;e portion of tlio North to the system of An <.nn slavery, ns it existed in the .Smith, anil revived the old question of sectional power. The conflict between the parties becamo so bitter and intense, that the Union shook to its centre. Strenuous efforts wore ma le to allay the storm. The panuoea for all the troubles of tho Government was applied, and a compromise swaged tho distemper for a moment.' By tho very act of compromise, Texas was dismembered, the Executive proviso in relation to California ratified?thus excluding the slnvehohling States from tho chance to eniov 1.10 benefit of tlmt rich acquisition. There were some acts intended to bo compensatory. The qnesfion. however, not being fully settled, it passed over to the Congress of 1851. That body, thon. took up the territorial question for iinal settlement. The circnm*tanco3 at tending the matter, are of such roocnt occurrences that i will only allude to them, by saying that one portion of the Democratic party held that Congress had the right to prohibit slavery in a Territory, and sought to induco tho oxcrciso of that power. The other portion not only denied the right but nflirmed that slavery was recognized in tho Territory, and protected there by tho C.institution. The subject be cam o so vexatious, and so fruitful of evil, that both siilc* agreed to banish it from tho Halls of Congress; and abido tho decision of the Supreme Court of the United Stntos. us to which vr8\v was cor rci'i. nuncw, oy tno Kansas-Nebraska Act" Congress conferred all tho. p >wcr of local legislation which it had on tho Territories, to he exercised by them, subject to the Constitution of the United States, with the Supreme Court as interpreter. If that tribunal, upon appeal, should deride that Congress had the right to prohibit slavery in the Territory, then (Congress having conferred all tin power it had on the subject to the To. ritorial Government) tho Territorial Government could likowiso do s >. lint if the Supreme Court should decide that Congress had no eiioh right, and that slavery was recognized and protected in tho Tcmtory by the Constitution, then, of course, the Territorial Uovernniont had no such right, and could not prohibit it there. 15ut on tlio contrary, standing in tho place of Congress, it would be hound not only to tolerate hut to protcot property in slaves, as it would nil other kinds of property, And when the inhabitants of the Territory in the proper manner hocomc the people of a State, they could and would, like all other States, deal with the subject as they pleased. If this he the nrrnngcmoiu, it is wise and just, and for one, I nm willing to abide by it. But soino now ideas ii(ivo reuuimy ueon nuvnneeu on me subject, and, if thoy prevail, nmst destroy overy feature of n wino ami just arrangoinont, and leave it a delusion nn?l a snare. Lot us glance at some of Micni.

To maintain, therefore, tlint tho power to tax, enn, within ho limits of tho Constitution, l>o used with a viow to destroy the very thing for which it is vested as means of protootilm is an absurdity. I will venture to ntiiriu tlisit there cannot ho found in the civili-.^d world, where constitutional Governments prevail, a rospoctablo court that would not declare aueh legislation unconstitutional and void. Ilencc the importance of keopinc the courts | open to meet the unfriendly legislation, and ! the ett'eets of non-action.

And they will have jurisdiction of its courts so as to exclude the rights of slave-owners, then J undertake to say that, having thus manifested a purpose to mako war upon property instead of giving it protection, it lias ceased to perform the main function of government, ami ought to he abolished. No one hating a just conception of the objects of government can hesitate to say that any government, of whatever form.
