their confidence was based, but gave assurance

Mr.. WEBSTER and MR. CALHOUN debated the
question in the Senate, on Saturday, whether
the Constitution extends to the territories or nol
The Senator from Massachusetts contended that
it does not, until lie extension was declared by
law, while Mr.. Calhoun insisted that the Con-
stituIion, by its own inherent virtue, is over the
territories from the beginning.
Mr.. Webster illustrated his argument by a
reference to the Judiciary, which, under the
Constitution, is upon the basis of the tenure oi
good behavior. But in the territories, where
courts Of judicature are established by law oil
Congress, the judges are removable by the Pre-.
sdent at will. II the Constitution were over
the territories, such tenure Of the judicial of.
flee would be unconstitutional.
The illustrations which Mr.. Calhoun adopts
to make his position distinct are of negative
kind-lf the Constitution be not over the terri
tories then none of regulations are binding, and
il would be lawful TO establish titles of nobility
there. But Mr.. Calhoun inquiries, can you estab-
lish titles of nobility in California; lie also
asks, by what authority does Congress egslate
concerning the terrtories-by what authority
except that which tho Constitution givesl
Undoubtedly it is from the Constitution that
Congress gets its power, to legislate respecting
the territories; and it is equally clear that the
Constitution represents a sovereignty which is
over the territories as thoroughly as it is over
the States. Blu. power is one thing, and the ap.
plica,ion of it, through organized mediums, i:
another thing.-There must be instrumental
ties by and through which power becomes ope
rative. Congress is to provide these in refer
ence to the territories; and into the organizn
thus created the vital energy of the Constitution
hSws, giving it action and efficiency. The mo
ment territory becomes Stale it ceases tC
need the interpositiOns of Congress as medi
um between il and the Constitution. It's owr
