of the fundamental principles of the consti-
tuition, and by the recent abrogation of the
provisions of that compromise have deter
mined to preserve the integrity of the
Union and remove the error Of former leg
islation. The people now who comprise
the citizens of territory have been en-
dowed with the rightful permission to shape
the destiny of the future state They know
their own wants-are capable Of selfgov-
ernment, and are equal to the emergency.
The country should rejoice at this act Of
legislation, that has expunged from our
statutes law that morally forbids por-
ton of its citizens from migrating to what
ever territories they may deem proper, for
the enjoyment of their lives, liberties and
the pursuits of happiness.

= If we are to Judge their motives bv ,hsi,
conduct, we can come to no other conclD.
sion. The constitutional rights Of the
South are as dear to the Southerners as the
apple Of the eye, and although they havs
borne injury after injury, and wrong after
wrong, these anti-law abolitionits are de.
termined to heap grievances upon them IN.
til disunion will become the necessity Of
self-preservation. This seems to be tbs
hope and design of these fanatical men
and their chosen mode Of warfare upon tbe
institutions of their country. If disuniOn
should ever consume us, its fame will not
be kindled in the South, but by the tleTuded
factions Of the North. Slavery does not
and never can effect us in any way in this
territory, and it becomes us as patriots and
citizens Of our common country, to give
our youthful vigor and manly aid to the
support Of the constitution and the consti-
tqtional rights Of aII parts of this glorious
Union.
