the territories acquired from Mexico; have
been degraded from their condition ot equa-
lity in the Union; have been forced TO sur,,
render territory, unqhestionably and 'leritis
inately their own, to the nse and ;enioynie,t
OF the lireliDg States, thereby increasing tEe.
5preponderance of votes already arrayed.
