IN where my children are to 60" Here
is , common territory. You are the
Congress of tho United States. The
Constitution of the United States says
that Congress shall make all needful ru.es
aud regulations respecting the Terrific
ries of the United States. Here is I
territory about to DO settled. You are
called upon to frame government for
the pcopl, who are 10 20 there, which is
to last so long, and only 90 long = the
territorial condition continues Now
what sort OF government il it your du.

that it is your duty to form such .

Then it is your duty to exclude slavery
from tina. Territory until there are peo-
pie enough there to come to act for them
selves. That is exactly what We propose
to do, and nothing more. That wa.
what the fathers o. the Republic did
Is there anything wrong in that? |
think if you viii look at this matter can
didly you will see that it is right, and
that it is your duty to insist upon this.
The charge that We want to have any
thing to do " tn negroes is utterly untrue.
1t is false clamor raised to mislead the
public mind. Our policy is to have moth.
ing to do with them, and I, myself, arn
very much inclined to favor the project
suggested by Mr.. Blair, Of Missouri, at
the last session of Congress. lie sug.
gestcd plan for colonixiDg our FREQ ne
grocs who are willing to 90 somewhere in
Central America, where an arrangement
could be made by which their rights may
be secured to them. The policy now is
such as to prevent emancipation, and a.
though we do not want to interfere with
the domestic institution of slavery in the
States, still we wish to interpose no OBJ
stacle to the people Of those States in
getting rid of their slaves whenever
they think fit to do SO. We know that
many Of tho free States have passed laws
preventing the Immigration Of negroes
into their limits The slave States have
passed laws prohibiting the emancipation
Of slaves By their masters unless they arc
taken out Of the State. The result Of
this legislation is that emancipation must
cease, for where are the negroes to 60.
Many slaves have been cmancipated du.
ring the last half century. There arc
thousands Of free negroes in Virginia
But that policy Is now stopped, becsls'
it is impraeticsble, there being no way Of
disposing Of the negro when emancipatcd
Many masters IN the South desire to
emancipa.e their slaves, and especially il
this the case as they approach death; for,
however they may reason while ia health
and thoughtlcss Of that event which leyel
all alike, they are very apt, in making VI
their last account and disposing Of thcil
property, TO think Of the wrong and in
Justice they have done by holding some
Of their fellow men in bondage, and they
arc quite willing to cmancipate them

For one am very much disposed to favor
the colonization of such free negroes .;

for free white men, and for making white
