WAsHiSGros, TUESDAY, March a.
There are some points 10 Mr. Hale unanswer-
able argument OF this day week which 1t may be
well 10 notice I would also cntreat those who can
10 read the speech length in the Inteihgencer Of
tins morning. | heard only part Of i.
When advert.ng to CALHoUSs assertions that
the North was aggressive, and making an unequal
discrimination about property and 70 CAsss non
sense about Congress having no right 10 legislate
for the Territories Mr.. HALE referred to the act OF
1924, signed by WAsHINGroS, which made IT pc
nal offence carry slaves in United States vessels
from this to another country, and nom one foreign
country 10 another and also 10 the statute OF 1893
establishing a Territorial Government 90 Misslssip'
pi In which Congress regulates Slavery IN that
territory declaring that slaves shall not be carried
into it from any place beyond the United States
and making free the slaves that might be carried
into it This shows that Congress legislated on
Slavery ina The Territories rs early as l1gs Mt
HALE showed that Congress has been iesislatine
on Slavery in the Territories, and regulating a,
continually during the Inst halt century.
In an act erecting Louisiana into two Ternio
RES and providing for the tcmpOry government
thereof approved the 2lst March 1904, section ten
prohibits the bringing into said Territory, from al
place without the United States any slave or
slaves aud imposed fine of $500 Tor any slave 50
imported and further the act prohibited the bring
ing into the Territory any slave or slaves which
shall have been imported INTO the United states
SINCE the LIST day OF May, 1852 or winch shall here
after be imported I 4dor the It"' SINUS 90 'N ",
passed in 1904 Congress undertook 70 say 'hht
slaves which had been imported INTO one o' Tue
slave States between 1898 and leOA ialr hH'e'S
of commerce under the Constitution should not ."
carried into the Territory, and imposed peha'!
on any one so carrying them Here theh Is an
express and explicit recognition on the part OF O'l
gress of the right and authority OF congress '"us ="
leeislate upon the subject.
