received yours of the 10Th Monday.
The pinch of the difficulty the stated be in
the words for ever coupled with the nerdct relating
the territory north Of latitude sc deg 80 mn If the
sary import of these words be- that they oper
condition future States admitted the Union and
restriction them after admission they encounter
indirectly the arguments which prevailed in the Senate for
unconditional admission of Missouri. l conclude
therefore, from the of the Senate the words
the strong vote constitutional grounds against the
srcton Missouri that there is other mode of ex.
planning them in their actual application.
As the right of Congress apply such a restriction
during the territorial PERIOD depends the clause spcci
ally providing for the management of those subordinate
adjustments
side it naturally occurs that the right being given
from the necessity OF the and suspension of
principle of scfgovcrnmcnt, ought to be extended IA
thcr continued longer than the occasion might fairly
quire.
On the other sde be denied that the consltu-
t,onal phrase "to make all rules &C. eYpoundcd by
uniform practice, is somewhat of ducte nature and
much to legislative discretion.
The questions to be decided to be-
l. Whether territorial restriction be assumption of
Legitimate power; or,
g Of legitimate power, and if the latter only
whether the injury threatened TO the from an acau
cscencc in the MISUSE from Illustration of it, be the
greater
On first point there is certainly for difference Of
opinion though, for myssf must that have always
leaned the belief that the restriction was not within the
true scope Of the constitution.
