construction of the constitution, and good
authority for whigs and 6deralists, no ra-
tional mind can arrive at the conclusion,
that this clause of the constitution confers
upon Congress the power Of legislation over
the persons and property of the people of
the territories. Let me ask the reader to
examine it sentence by sentence, and word
by word. "Congress shall have power to
make all needful rules and regulations"-
respecting what? Not the territories, as is
sometimes read, but "the territory, or 9TH
er property belonging to the United States"
1t is territory belonging to the U. S. for
which Congress may make rules and regu-
~lations, not for the territories as COMMUNE
ties Of men, or colonies Of citizens. Now
stick a pin "rtght here" and see to what re-
suits the Benton free-soil construction of the
constitution will lead. Under the power to
make rules and regulations concerning the
property belonging to the United States,
Congress, says Col. Benton, can prohibit
slavery from being introduced into the ter
ritory belonging to the United States. Ad-
NIT this construction TO be correct, does not
the same clause confer upon Congress the
power 10 prohibit its introduction into any
other property of the Union? Jefferson
Barracks, in this State, and a large body Of
wild lands scattered all over the State, is
~'property belonging to the United States"
and why may not Congress prohibit slavery
from being introduced into this territory,ac &C.
cording to Col. Benton's construction Of the
constitution. We should like to see this
question answered by some of Col. Benton's
'new friends" H.
