3CUMENTII RELATING TO' THE STATI 0F *SLAVERY IN
THE UNION, AND THE POWER POSSESSED BY CON"
GRESS TO PREVENT ITS FURTHER, INTRODUCTION.
NEW YORE., NOVEMBER st
The annexed letter has been addressed-by Mr.
Rufus King to Messrs. J. B. Colei, and J. T. Irving,
Chairman and Secretary of the Committee appointed
by the late City Meeting respecting the Missouri Bill:
• " (1.. I.) Nov. 22, 1810.
" Gerirmittaa-rConformably to your requestin
behalf of the Committee appointed by the late Meet-
ing in the City, on the business of the Missouri Bill,
I have,the honour to send to you the substance of two
Speeches that I delivered in the Senate of the United
States when this Bill was under its consideration.
" As my notes are imperfect, I may have omitted
some remarks made on that occasion, and added
others .which were not made; the communication,
however, contains the substance of my observations
and present opinions on this important subject. I
am particatarly anxious not to be misunderstood in
this case, never having thought myself at liberty to
encourage, or to assent to, any ,measure thatSiould
affect the security of property in Slaves, or tend Vs
disturb the political adjustment which the Constitt-
tion has established respecting them: I.desire to be
considered as still adhering to this reserve, and' that
the observations which I send you should be con-
strued to refer, and to be confined to the prohibition
of Slavery in 'die New States to be'formed beyond
the original limits of the United Stites—.a prohibi-
tion Which,• in my judgment, Congress have the
power to establish, and the omission of wbicb may,
as I fear, le productive of most serious consequences.
With great respect and esteem, I have the honour to
be, Geatlemen, your most obedient servant,

THE SUBSTANCE 01 TWO SPEECHES ON THE MISSOVHE
BILL, DELIVERED BY MR. KING, 11, THE SENATE 01
THE UNITED STATEX,DURING THEIML AST 81851911.
The Constitution declares, " that Congress dual
,have power to dispose of and make all needful rules
Ind regulations respecting the territory and other
erty of the United States." Under this power,
r..oegress have passed laws for the survey and sale
of the public lands, for the division of de'saine into
Separate territories, aid have ordainid for each of
dtem a Constitution, a place of,teniporary Govern-
wnt, whereby the civil and political rights of the
isibabitants are regulated, and the rights of con-
science,
and other natural rights are protected.
The poi4r to make all needfal regulations, iM
eludes the power to determine what regulations are
needful ; and if a regulation prolibiung Slavery
within any territory of the United States be, as it has
been, deemed.neeciful. Congress posies: the power,
to make the garde, and moreover to: pass all lank
necessary to carry this poirer into execution.
The territory of Missouri is a portion of Limisian*
which was purchased of France, and belongs to the
United States in full dominion. In the language of,
the Constitution, Missouri is their territory or pro-
perty, and is subject, like other territories of the'
United States, to, the regulations and temporary go-
vernment which has been, or shall be prescribed by
Congress. The clause of the Constitution wh4
grants-this power to Congress is so compreheaSisit;
and unambiguous, and, its purpose so manifest
'commentary will not render the power or the objtut
of its establishment more explicit or plain:
The Constitution further provides, tbat u newtat,4
may be admitted by Congress into the Union.
this power is conferred without limitation,,the
' terms, and circumstances of the admission ot7,
States are referred to the discretion of Congresi;
which may admit new States, but are not obliged,
to 4o so: of right, no new' State can demand ad-
mission into' the Union, unless such demand be
founded upon some previous engagement with the
States.
