ernor argues, that, because the constitution makes
mo agreement for the further extension OF slavery,
therefore Congress may forbid it, The true theory Of
the constitution is very different from this. 'What is
not given is reserved TO the States the people" He
ought to have shown, not from the silence, but the
actual specifications OF the instrument that any power
was given to Congress to act upon it, The question is
not whether the power given TO the States or
the people, but to Congress Silence is the want of
