the powers OF the General Government over
the Territories, let rs hope that the qaes
ton may soon find satisfactory solution.
The future peace and harmony Of the States
and Territories can be best secured by each
acting in it own proper sphere. A people
accustomed 10 regulate and control their
own social and political relations. will not
long remain in disorder, when left TO devise
their own means Of safety.
On the application OF q new State for
admission into the Union, Congress has
power, and it bee mes its duty to enquire
whether it is Republican in its organization :;
according to the meaning OF that term as
applied TO the principles and practices Of our
Government from the beginning. But it
has neither the power, nor right, 10 prescribe
the mode by which the people shall arrive
at that organization. Any oth.r conclu-
sion would preclude the idea of equality ;
because the equality Of States does not mean
being equal in size, or strength, or similar
in domestic policy but equal in the rights
reserved TO the States and the people, in
their sovereign capacity.
Gentlemen of the legislature while !
am not insensibe to the delicate and re-
spOnsible duties imposed upon me by the
Constitution under which you have organ
lied, shall cheerfully cooperate with you
to facilitate the business Of Legislation and
promote the pnbic good, during the brief
connection which may exist between US.
