&auery.-The late proceedings in Con-
gress on the subject of slavery in this ter
rIiOry, have created momrntary and un-
necessary alarm smong ilie people. 1t is
asubject over which congress has no power
to egIslale, and whenever the people come
TO form constitution, they will decide
the question for themselves.
TmIs territory Is peop!cd almost entire
ly by slave-holtirs. The ordinance a.
galnsi slavery in The Illinois, in lie wear
1850, induced many of the richest of lie
French Inhabitants of that country to
cross 10 the Spanish side of The Missis-
slppl, and since the purchase of louisa
ma the emIgralts aVerSe TO slavery have
stopped III the.Illinois those favorable
10 II have crossed into the Missouri. We
believe therefore that we hazard nothing
IN saying, ,hat.ihe vote Of our conyeniiot,
will be unanIpous IN favor OF slavery.
The only power that Congress can ex-
ercise over State constitution, is 10 pre-
serve its republican character. { See Com
ShtutiOt oftheU. s.
Other states have regulated The. ques-
tlon of slavery according TO their own
will Penns Ylyanla and all north Of her
having rejectedii Mary and all south,
having adopted it.
Upon principles Of abstract right, the
state OF Missouri can decide the same
question according TO her own will.
But her lights do not depend exclu-
siveIy upon the justice Of the thing. The
treaty of ceksion has guaranteed TO her
The right ofadmission into the union, aud
The right Of keeping her property also.
Here is he article:
Arr. 3. 'l'he inhabitants Of the coded terri
tory siali he incorporated in the union of the

cordng 10 ille principles of tie federal consti-
