MI. Phelps said the Senator wes correct. He
himself disciaimed all right interfere with con-
Germs Of The States. There was no intention the

domestic concerns Of any Of the States. That there
was folly and fanaticism in his State he had no
doubt; and he did not believe the South YVES free
from il. But he claimed that Congress had the
right to prohibit slavery iD the territories Of the
United States The regulation Of these territories,
he said, should rest on the unbiased Judgment of

had long and steadily resisted The current Of abofi
ton feeling, but he was now in despair, and saw

he proceeded to consider the various objection
which had been urged by that Senator to the pro

tween nations which required that they should con
form themselves to che common opinion of mankinc
