Sir: have real with infinite gratifica-

tellisencer on the decision of the Supreme
Court on the Missouri Compromise act, an |

This dccision-that part of it which re
lates to the nullity of the Compromise act,
and to the self-cxtension of the constitution
To territories--is the heaviest political
blow that ever fell upon my heart, and
left me in Il state of total impo,si
bilty of remaining silent under it, view
it as YOU do--as dreadfully wrong in it
self, and entirely extra judicial and of no
more weight than the opinion of any half
dozen equally respectable citizens coming
to the same conclusion Tin much part J
upon inconsistent, incompatible and CON
Trajectory reasons. That compromise act
was political enactment made by the po-
litical power, for political reasons, and
these reasons among the largest that ever
influenced human legislation on--no less than
to reconcile divide an distracted coun-
try, AMI to prevent our sacred Union from
splitting assunder.
As such political enactment the Court
hal no right to Judge it, even if the
question hail como iairly before it which
1t did not; for the judiciary cannot Judge
political questions, neither of right nor in
fact for these questions depend upon con
sIderations Of policy which the Judiciary
cannot touch. and not upon the interprcia-

We have already quoiel from the sch,l-
ule of the Oregon constitution, showing
that the whole of that instrument was to be
submitted to the popular vote. The CON
stitution of Minnesota was also submitte
entire. This was done in both cases hv
the Democratic party. SO that Of the three
new States, applying 10 Congress at it's
present session for lmissi. into the Union,
1t seems little strange tE'at Kansas alone
should come with constitution not cndors

that that was the territory for which the
boaste doctrine Of "populor sovereignty
