MIR. RArHBum of New-York having the floor,
commenced his speech By reading General Jack

was not necessary for military defence. Gen.
Jsckson's opinion in 1920 NEST bo taken es of as
much authority as that of 1874. Invasion by
Great Britain was ts be feared from Canada not
from Texas. He denied the constitutional power
of Congress to pass this measure. This House
oould not reverse The decision of the Senate. Ii
Congress can introduce new Territory aud admit
foreign States they can expel other States.
