that, did he say more than the constitution
permits more than Kent and Story and the
Supreme Court Of the United States have
said more than Cass and Douglas aud
Richardson have said -
Yes. for Cass and Douglas and Richard
son never have said go and moreover, the
I Constitution epernits" 10 such thing. y

Won now To be opposed % the exercise OF
doubtful powers. il granted nv tha son

hent aud story and the supreme Court say
that the power to make salt needfui rules
ana regulations with respect to the terrific
rcs, ETC. is an ample and positive deles2
ton to Congress Of authority in respect Of
all such questions. We suppose that Is
enough on that head.
Now what does Richardson say? In his
reply to the interrogatories propoundcl to him
during the tendency Of the Speakership, he
sAla he had voted repeatedly with the great
body Of the South. to extend the Missouri
Compromise line, which prohibited slavery
nor.a # $ deg. 80 MN, 70 the Pacific
And he adds '.Nhen | gave those votes,
"did not believe then, and | do not believe
''now, TINT violate the Constitution OF the
>. [ uited States"
And Douglas. During the quarrel be-
tween Benton and Calhoun, Douglas ad-
dressed a letter to the Chicago Tribune, in
which he said he had voted ssfor bills which
affirmed the right Of Congress 10 legislate
''upon the subject Of slavery in the Terri
''tories" He said they had the right: he
only thought Il inexpedient 70 exercise that
that right.
AS TO Cass In speech npon the Kansas
Nebraska bill, he objected to the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise said its adoption
was right, etc, which of course could not
have been the case If Congress had no pow
er TO exclude slavery from national territory.
