/ at me. next session of. Congress presented:
bg5 the MOI $50; Thai the. issue will;
be raised !. whether or not new; territory
shall be added 10 The Union. This does
not suit The plo,ers of the mischief, and
their abettors, who have thrown this new
frebrand inio our midst. They would
make The question at once on what they
falsely call principle. The more moderate
favorers Of the scheme for excluding slavery
from new territory, are influenced by er-
pedicncy, and would preclude The main
question by the preliminary inquiry Does
The Constitution authorize the annexation
Of conquered territory to the domain oil The
United States? The deliberations Of Con.
.eress will be necessarily complicated, there
fore, e,hyihese separate issues. Now,itw vii! be
better for the South at once 10 meet The
surasts on wha, they call their contest for
principle, and put The question at rest, than
10 leave il open for lhe Judgment OF a future
Congress. s..4 s.i. srs
But we have no apprehension that this
abstract question Of cons,itulionaity will
interfere with that policy which is the
dictate Of imperative Stale necessity.
There is no distinction between territory
gained by purchase or by conquest. Mr..
Jefferson sanctioned the first, and it would
be blind craftsmanship to neglect those
admonilions TO 2us for self-Preservalion
which justified that depa, ture from rigid
y constructions Of The Constitution. Let US
look litlelo the future. The Island OF
B Cuba cannotslong remain in lis present
political. condition There is Internal
= fermentation within its limits. The SOW
ereignty of Spain over il must soon reach
a termination.
Suppose now that the inhabitants de.

10 prevent The Island from falling into the
power of the British or French Govern
: ment. Irmay he necessary to incorporate
Cuba with the Union, with the consent o.
1.-The Inhabitants, TO prevent its transfer to
Ntopean dominion. Now wha, would be
fleet of an aiiunance by Congress
gore territory shall be annexed lt
: The Union, eilher, by consent or purchase
Such declaration would hold out the in
yila,ion 10 Que or other Of the Two grea
maritime powers Of Europe, to carry ou
any scheme Of ambition it may entertain
In relation 10 Cuba. We would ask if The
necessity could be less urgent in This case
dian that which was suggested to the far
{ seeing mind of Mr.. Jefferson, by the pur
chase Of louisiana. 1t i, impossible for ,
