Mr.. BROWN pursued a siui ar line of argument.
He willing to admit that these laws were uncon-
stutonal, ana that, Therefore, Congress was bound
to blot them mt of the Salute book. Some Of them
we're unjust and outrageous to be sure bat some Of
the laws of Virginia might be outrageous too, and
was that reason why Congress should interpose to
prevent their execution. The people who make their
own laws the best judges OF what laws they need,
sId, after giving them the right to make their own
laws, Congress had power to interfere and oveturn

make laws Itself for the Government of the Territories
ana abandon the icea altogether Of Popular Gov.

On motion of Mr. HUNTER, the Senate then ad-
