people Of the States enjoy and have heretofore con
sdered precious, because they were in a great de-
gree peculiar and exclusive If, by this means. the
Territories through the prerogatves conferred upon
their nhabitants, be endowed with all the functions
and placed upon footing Of entire equality in every
other respect with the States, why not admit them
to the last favor, and identify the territorial cond
ton fully and forever with that of The States ?-why
not, in the act erecting them into Territories cut
the matter short by also admitting them at once into
the Union as Sates2 " their inhabitants are TO en-
joy all the rights and privileges of citizens of the
Union, and they themselves to enjoy the prerog-
aives Of States in every other respect being in the
Union and part of it, why should they not be recog
nized as States and be represented in the federal
ellis as constituent parts Of the Union III is to be
conceded that there is no distinction between the de-
pendent, adoiescent condition of the Territories and
the Independent sovereign condition of the matred
States, then the States being entitled to represer
tation in Congress and the federal administration

1t is this errer of confoundiDg the status of the
Territory with that of the matured State and of

the independent States, which underlies the doctrine
of those who contend for the of the Territories

their borders The Legislature of Territory, being
but the agent of Congress- which delegates to it the
power of egisatng for the territorial inhabitants
cannot of course, either by direction or indrecton.
exclude those institutions from the Territory which
Congress could not itself exclude if it legslated for
the Territory by its act Itfollows that as Con-
gress cannot by any policy flor instance an un-
friendly system of taxation exclude slavery from
any of the States SO the territorial legisla
ture cannot, being the agent of Congress, ex-
clude slavery from the Territories Those who
express a contrary opinion, in the argument by
which they support it, confound the condition of a
Territory with that Of State, and the restricted
delegated powers of territorial Legislature with
those sovereign ones which appcrtain to the legis
lature of State. Their argument contains the
petaio principii'' what State may do, that may
Territory do - it contains also the non seQuitur
"a State may exclude slavery from its borders
therefore may Territory co the same thing"
