THE SOUTHERN POSITION.

The Charleston Mercury, which is known to belong to
what considered the ultra school Of southern politicians
states the southern view of the Missouri Compromise
follows:
ssBu the pon. this that by the Missouri Compromise
the territory south of SO dog 80 min secured to the
Souh--that slavery legazed by Congress in that
region This is all wrong The Missouri Compromise, so
called nothing but aprohbiton of slavery north Of
that line 1t neither pretended to legalize did it
aude to- the of slavery south of that ne The
South never claimed for Congress the power to legaze
the existence of slavery They denied that equally
with the power to prohibit it, The necessarily goes
with the other. Slavery is an existing fact under the
constitution of the United Staes recognised by 1t as one
of the elements of system, and that riguly claims
its place. wherever the people desire it, and where ii is
not prohibited by State authority Congress have nothing
70 with except protect wherever is not prohibited
by State authority This the position of the South the
question of congressional power over slavery.
Undoubtedly the Nebraska act falls short Of sustain
ing this position, and have never pretended Otherwise
But better than that prohibition Of slavery that is known
by the name Of the Missouri Compromise"
