amendment in support of the Missouri Comprom-
Use. excluding slavery from the Territory.
Mr. Burt of S. c., addressed the Committee in
defence Of the rights of the South In regard to
slavery. He said the South was united on this
question she was equal to her destiny and was
prepared TO take care of herself in any emergen-
cy in which she might find herself placed.
Mr. Petit, OF Indiana, followed, insisting that
the sovereignty Of the Government Of this I'm
ion extends over the Territory of that Govern
ment, us it does over all other property belong
ing to The United States in their federutlve ca.
pacity. Where the right OF soil exists, as it
does in this case, the absolute sovereignty con-
tlnues until that right is surrendered. Hence
the power of Congress to Cgslaie on this ques-
ton now. The South (said Mr. P) cannot, dare
not, and will not dare to dissolve this great I'm
ion and lie would udmonsh gentlemen TO be-
ware how they talk of dissolution to their South

ments calculated to prevent any passing of trade
toward Boston.
