Cen. Cass and Slave Extension,

In the letter Of Gen. Cass, making overtures
TO the South, he deliberately asserts, "that Con-
gress has no power TO prevent the extension OF
slavery into newly acquired terrltory-that the
people who may settle in such territory, may at
their pleasure, establish slavery therein, and per-
petuate it, in opposition to any power that Con-
gress possesses or can exercise"
Such are the avowed opinions, as last promul.
gated, orthe Locofoco Presidential nominee and
thev secured him almost the entire vote Of the
South-even of South Carolina.
We need not say that such sentiments are as
antagonistcal TO those he formerly avowed, as
they are to those upon which the practice of the
government has been predicated since its organ
ization.
Congress has uniformly exercised the power
of governing the territories, and1h denial there
Of is new doctrine.
The power Of Congress over territories, anc
the extent thereof are asserted by Judge Story
! in his commentaries in these words:
"Tho power of Congress over the territory il
clearly exclusive and universal, and their legis
lation is subject TO no control, but is absolutely
unlimited unless so far as il is affected by snpu
lation of the cession, or by the Ordinance
1897, under which any part of it has been set
tied"
Chancellor Kent says:
alt would seem from the various Congression
al regulations of territories belonging to the U
nitcd States, that Congress have supreme Powe
in the government of them, depending on tn
exercise of their sound discretion"
Rawle says;
Congress has always been considered as en-
titled 10 regulate not only the form of govern
ment of the territory, but alsoto reserve to them
selves the appreciation or rejection of such law
