constitution audcr which they Rrc nci
Co have ono single political right
Why lhi. cir,umlocu,ion Z this cNlen-

with ,hc cNccp,ion cf The onl> one rele'
van, and apphcablel Sir. Il Is the
crooked. d.in,idious aud pusilanimo1s way
Of cil,ctne the repeal OF the Missouri
Compromise line. II includes oll Law
Cor the sake Of leaving oul one Law and
affects a repeal by an omission and leg
isiaics by an exception. II is new
way OF repeating law, aud - bungl'ng
attempt To smugglc slavery into lhu ter
Iiiory, aud all the country out TO the
Cnnada line and up the Rocky Noun
tains. Tho crooked hnc Of this Snug
Cling process - this Abolish the
compromise line, and extend the cons,l-
tuition over the country the constitution
recognizes slavery therefore, slavery
is established rs soon rs The lioo u ahol-
ishrd, aud the constitution extended
and being put there by the constitution,
1t cannot be lcgi.la'ed out This is
the English Of the smuggling process
aud certainly nothing more unworthy
OF legislation -more degralory TO a leg
islntivc body was ever attempted 10 bc
made into law.
Sit, the Constitution was not made
for Territories. but Tor States. Its pro-
visions are al applicable 10 States and
cannot be- pul m operation in icrfitoric..
They cannot vote ior President OF Vice
President, or mrmbers Of Congress, nor
eleci their own officers, or prescribe the
qualifications of voters, or administer
their own laws by their own judges,
sheritls. and attorneys aud the clause
extending the constitution 10 them is "A
cheat and nm Illusion and u trick 10
smuggle slavery into the territory. Nor
is ii intended that they shall have amy
legislative righl 10 slavery. They may
admit il because II is TO be there by th,
constitution, they cannot exclude 1t, be
cause the constitution pots it there
That is the arguments and II IS jug
gle worthy Of the trick of one egg under
three hats nt the same imc and undci
neither nj any time. Besides, the con
s,ilullon ls an organic, not an admins
' trative net II is u code of principles
not of laws. Not a clause IN it can b,
executed except by virtue Of q Law
: made under it--not even the clans'
. for recovering fugitive slaves.
