After this farrago, (his oilapodrida, eomes a little stump speech, injected into the belly of the bill, ana which mtist have a prodigious effect wle/ recited in the prairies, and towards the frontiers, and up towards the heads of the creeks. I wfll read it^and I hope without fatiguing the House for it is both brief and beautiful, and runs thus: *4It being the true intent Shd meaning of this act not to legislate slavery iuto any State or .Territory, nor to exclude it therefrom but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in there own way .subject only to the Constitution of the United States."

This is the speech, and a pretty little thing itself, and very proper to be

tcr is the doctrine of progress and that in spite of tliij Italian, epitaph, which says, "I was Well add would be better, physic and hereT am." But the States must be greatly delighted at the politeness and forbearance of this bill. It puts States and Territories upon precise equality with respect to the power of Congress over them Congress does not mean to put slavery in or out of any State or Territory. To all that polite abnegation I have to say that, in respect to the States, it is the supererogation of modesty and humility, as Congress happens to have no power to put slavery in them and in respect to the Territories it is an abdication of a constitutional power and duty, it being the right of Congress to legislate upon slavery in the Territories, ana jts duty to do so when there is occasion for it. as in 1787 and 1820. objcct to this shilly—shally, willy— wont'ty, don'tv-canty style of legislation.

4end

of this stump speech is the

whole. Different from good milk, in which the cream rises to the top, it here settles to the bottom, and is in these words: "Leave it to the people thereof—that is to say, of the States and of the Territories —to regulate slavery for themselves as they please, only subject to the Constitution of the United States." I--Certainly this is anew subjection for the States. Heretofore they have been free to regulate slavery for theincelves-o-admit or reject it and that not by virtue of any of

«r*r in the Constitution, but by "ft of theif

ritories. Heretofore.they have been held to be warJs of Congress, and entitled to nothing under the Constitution but that which Congress extended to them. Butlhis clause is not accidentally here it is to keep the dogma of the Constitution in Territories, but only there in relation to slavery, and that for its admission, not rejection.
