to the power claimed for Congress by the
Wimot Proviso men. On the contrary, the
whole spirit Of the instrument and contem-
porary expositions leads to the conviction
that it was intended that all United States
territory should be enjoyed by the people Of
all the States, who should be free to emf
CRATE into said territory with all their insttu-
tons, without exception.
The power Of States to introduce within
their jurisdiction slavery, or any other insti-
tuition, not previously surrendered to the Ge-
neral Government, is question that seems
so plain, that il scarcely needs argument, but
as It is about to be examined in the Senate
on Mr.. Dickinson's resolutions, we shall see
whether il can be combatted with any sue
cess. Fa
To sum up, we hold, that the objects and
purposes Of the negro-liberty party, out Of
the slave States, are founded upon an erro-
neous view Of the nature Of our Union and
its Government; that they are not lawful,
not constitutional, and should be resisted on
all occasions; that the United States Gov
eminent have no constitutional right to ex-
clude negro-slavery from United States ter
ritory; and that the States have the sole power
over the institution Of negro-slavery, either
to Introduce il or to abolish It at will
