Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1854-08-10

by any earthly power, except the Constitution
Of the United States. Entire and perfect cqual-
tv, therefore, among all the States OF the Union,
in respect to their rights of legislation and sove-
reignty, Is cardinal and Fundamental principle
in our republican system. Indeed. the moment
you impose upon the rights of any one State a Il
initiation which the Constitution has not enioiued
upon all the States, such State ceases TO BE- a
STATE, within the meaning Of the Constitution .
Such limitation produces. inferioritv where the
Constitution has provided for perfect equality.
Under the clause OF the Constitution providing for
the admission of new States, as general thing,
Congress is invested with discretion to admit or
reject but in the event o new State is adnittsd
int t7 71:71r. JJ5t come n 5Clte, with
all the powers and rights Of State under the
Constitution, and on an equal footing with the
original States III all respects whatsoever There
fore, whatever powers are possessed by any one
State-old or new-in respect TO slavery may OF
right under the constitution, be exercised by each
and every state. In pursuance OF this SOVerClg IN
right, which is common to all the states, sixteen
of the states of the Union have abolished or pro
hibted slavery. while the other fifteen states have
recognized and protected IL within their limits.
This great principle was recognized and solemn
iy guaranteed IL the compromise measures Of
1850.
The acts for the admission and organization
Of the territories Of New Mezico and Utah. each
contains the stipulation that when said ~'tcrrito
rics any part thereof shall bc admitted into the
ion as states. they shall be received with OF
Wl out slavery" ;" as Their constitutions shal pre-
scribe at the t.ne OF admission LLe Ne.Tasha
Bill which has passed Congress az this session al
50 carried int effect tie same principle in the pre-
else language Of the compromise measures which
7 have just quoted. (Great applause)
