At ail Tents it does a. For the purpose of considering the qucstlnn eilh eSiftiooine m. I willflrFt eianiiua it, as it nay or niay not be iffeoted by the treaty with France. This Territory was part ef Loalei nns, and all agree tlint when we acq'iiraa I.uuiaiaoa in 1808, it was flare Territory and slarca were proporty. The third artiole of the treaty by which Louiriana bennme acquir ed to tbe Unitei 8utu, is iuipnrtaut at this point. It is a part of tht treaty compact that " the Inhabitants of tbe ceded territory ball be incorporated iu trie United flutes, aid aJmiiUa aa coon as ( opMh'e, scornlinir to the p'oritions of the Federal Co'iatitution, li the enjny ment of all tbe lights, privileges an 1 imiuuuities of cittsnns of the United States; aud in the mean time they eh all bo protected in the free enjoyment of their lib erty, property, and the religion wl.iah they profes1,." Ai I bare hud occasion to remark in an other oannmuniontion addressed to yon, Ne braska, as a part of tho Louisiana purchase, was acquired to become a Slate, and for no other purpose. For tbh purpose, and this alone ia there any power under the Constitu tion to acquire foreign territory I do not enlarge upon this, haying already discussed it at length. It il a stipulation in tha treaty " tbat the inhabitants of the ceded territory ahall be In corporuted in the Union of the United S'ates." aud it is e?eiy whit as strong a stipulation that " in the inenn time" they shall be pro tected in "tht free enjoyment of their lib any, property and the religion which they pr.ifes " The faith of the country is pledged to it, and it is Just as good to the inhabit ants of Niitratka Tairitory to-day, or any day, as it was to tbe first Inhabitants in 1608. Mr. John Quincy Adiuns understood this per fectly, and disposed of the q-aostion ery brief ly and eoncluHively, when Arkau.ias was be. for Congress fur admission, in 1S36. " Ehe is entitled to admismn as a cUe 8tate, as Louibitwia and Missouri have been admitu J," by virtue of " that artio!o ia ihe trenty for the purchase of Lnuisi-tun, wh.ch secures to the people) of the ceded t rrituriej, all the rights, privileges and immunities of the orig inal oitiiene of tbe United States, and ttipu latee for their admission, ooiif.irmah'.o t tbat principle, iuto tho Union. Arkansas therefore, comes and hns a right to come into the Union with her alaves and her slave laws. Il is written in tba bond, and however I tuny Inment that it was ever so written, I fount fiiithfully perform its obliga tions." N w what wui written in tko bond? as it i,ol that the people y the cedej -ritorlea arc to be sccored iu their rights of property, pornon and religion, ns well as tbat they ebould e admitted into tha Union, on an equal footing with tb original States? Iu tha Died Soott oase Mr. Justice Oitrou j says, Lou!.. una was a province, when slar- ery was not only !ro!, but where preperty in slaves was the mot valuable of all peraonai property. The Province was ceded us a unit, with an eiial right pertaining to n!! its in habitants, in every part thereof, to ewn .lave-, . To enable the United States to fu'fil tbe Treaty, additional population was indispensable aad obviously driired, with anx iety, en both sides, so that the whole conutry i'ieuld, as 830U at possible, beenme States of tke Coion. Anl far thii contemplated future population, the treaty as eipresaly proviJed as It did for tbe Inhabitant residing ju the Provinoe. All thene were to be protected, in the mean time," that ii to say, at all lime "butween the date of tbe treuty, and the time when the portion of the Tetritory where tbe inhabitants re.-lioj aliaitied into the Union as a State." " At the dte af the rety," he further renrki, eaoh iuhabii- ut bad the right to the free ei jojtunnt of his property, alike with his liberty and his relig ion, in any part of Louiaiaua." To urui(iunt the treaty diS'uuhy, im eon sidered worth a labored effort by Mr Jut tie C'artu, in the lired Scott caae. hoe. ci.pieo f jur f ill pages of his able diseenting epmiou.

The third article of the treaty was relied on Mr Chief Justice ManrUnll said: This artlola obviously contemplates twe objects. One that Louisiana' shall be admitted Iuto tha Union as soon as possible, ou an equal footing with the other States-; aad the other, tbat till snob adniisxlon. the inhabitants ef the ceded Territory, eball be protected la tbe free enjiyment of their libarty, property, and religion. Had any one ef these rights been vi'id white theae ttipulaticns continued in f roe the individual snppei-ing hlroe!f to be iujured, niight bare Iroeght hiseaa U.to thie oonrt, the 25th section of the Judicial act. f!ut this stipulation ceased to operate when Lo'JifiBna became a member of the Cuion, and its inhabitants were "admitted to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantage and immunities of the eitiicns of the United 8tates." And yet, what docs this opinion amount to, except, aa so far as the tute cf Louisiana itself was concerned, tt stipulation ceased to operate, because the state had pasted beyond the mean time" mentioned ia tbe third arti cle of tbs treaty; and its inhabitant were -tuitled to the "enjoyment of all the rights, ad vantages and immunities of the cititeii. of tha Unit ed States." , t It is then a fair and irreslstable conclusion, that the third articlo of tbe treaty did it -olodethe wholo of tho Louielan pnruha and it iB an undeniable truth, that the citizens of the several Slates might go into any of tbe Territories carved out of the acqnlniiirri, and carry with - tbem their property. "The whole territory" eaye the Supreme Court of the United States "was acquired by the gen oral Government, as the representative e"! trustee of the people of the Cuit- d State ; end it must therefore be beld in that chiu-noter, for their common and eq'ial benelt; for it w the people of the several States, acting through thmr ngeut and repraanneiiliva, tha Federal Government, who, in fact, acquired the territory in question, and the Government holds it for their common use, until it shall be associated with tbe other, Btatei, as a member of the iioion." And this Is in perfect harmony with our whole system. Tho Federal Governnent Is a government of Stales, and not of individuals or of ma.'ees People make op tho 8uteeanri States make the Confederacy. Though thegineral Gov ernment acts on individuals, within and with cat the States, it ia only in the exercise of powers, delegated by theStstes and cotiftied, in the Constitntion. In the Brat American Congress of 1771, ooloules came together, through their repre sentatives, and by a union of colonies, tbe wrongs of Kf aseacbastts Bay, were made tke wrnnge of Pennsylvania and Virginia. The revolution was not a social revolution it was politioal. It was a revolutiou ef colouiea by cams. Tha Ccsgrees cf !7"6 was a Con gress of ooionics, aud the Declaration wan alive with '.ha one great truth, "that these United Colonies art, and of right ought to be, free and Independent States." Tbey maJe good their Declaration, said became not eu'.y free, bat sovereign each onetuvcieiga and ii. dependent within itself. Tbe articles of confederation were entered into by Stales ! the Constitution wna formed by a convention of Sulci, each State adopting the Constitution lor itself, thus making it, as far as applicable 'a law Unto itself." i' All territory is acquired to become a State; but it is likewir.e acquired for the ommon benetlt of the existing Stated it is theirs, and the Federal Uuvrroaient boMa II as their trnitee. Consequently, tveiy cil im of every Stale has a there In it.

With It these three are equally sacred. Not by tbe prohibition of 1820, called In awful moae,ry the Missouri compromise, for that was repealed, and Is now pronounced unconstitutional m d void- I esinme then that the oitUent of the frtste.s owning tlavet bad tbe right te come here with their property when the territorial Govern ment wts ergautted. Soma few persons did oomt with their slaves, and still fewer re mained; fur the overruleiug reason that Nebraska is no place for tlavo labor. Wore the slaves of those few set free, by tht faol of their having been brought into (his Terrl tory ; Sorat wtre tnticed or stolen away hut noprooeps ef law was ever invoked, or could have been invoked, lo have them propanneed free. This brings os to the question of power in the Territorial Legislature. Uavt wa tha power to manage our demutio affairs In our own way, ar.d exercise the rights of legislation as a free people) I answer we bava, beyond pr)letitiire or doubt Dut communities, like individual!, have relative duties, aa well a absolute asid relative rights; we must use onrewu rights, so that we do not injure or tska awny the rights of othere. This is good morals aivi ffoeJ law. The doctrino of tha right cf thsS:a:t, litis at the very feuodation nf ourpolitio.il fabric. To legislate against the r'ghts cf airy one 5late, is to ttrik a mot tsj blow at the t'glils of all. ' la this atiempttu prohibit slavery by an act eftlie Territorial Assembly, I am constrained to my you have overlooked tha tiueiuloni tad inclining of tht orgauic law. It should be remembered tbat tha restrict ive line agaiust slavery, know at 80 80", was designed, not only to control the Terri tories north of that line but te exoluda slavery f'.verer frca all Stit.s to be formed between that lire and the tdhdegtce; thus making the net ef Cengreet to operate on Suttee te well as Territories. I say tbit was the dtslgn n the act ut 1820, and Mr, Clayton proved it in the Senate. Indeed tha great oMset was, "to have no mora tlavt 8ta!a." At the orgauitation of Ksnras and Kobrst ka, the Miesoarl retiicltn was blotted out and declared inoperative and void : -'it being tbs tas Intent and meaning of this tot not te legitlate Slavery into any Territory; or St&te, nor to exclude it therefrom ; but to leave the people thereof perfeotly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions In their own way, f a' ject only lo tbe Constite'iun cf the Uuited Slates." This was triumph of Pcputsr Sovereignty i;t"? Congressional emutic-n : The right of tbe people to form aa 1 regulate their domestic inalitotioai in their on way, ul.jenl only to tht Constitution of the Uuited Stales. Surely you eea.net think that this meant tht Trrrit.-.r;.l Legirielure created is tht same lav aud by tha same Cougress. Is that Popular Sovereignty? Let us look. "And fes it further anaeted that the Legislative fewer aud authority of of id Territory shall be vested iu the Gov- i eroor aud Lgiels'ia Assembly." Aod Ihe ( Governor, er Executive has a vuiue equal to ' more than a mnjoiiiy ef each Houre. I need hardly my he is ejpi inud by the Preei. ! dvnt, and may .vrr be aeu of "the T pie'' ' before his appointment llowevrT agreeable j it might be hi yon and to me to suppoit lost at are "the Ptnjf.!' in the Sonne uf thl organic ' act, I fear Ibal we n.ut surrender tie soft delusion.
