under the constitution and it is not in the power Of Con-
gress to create it. And my friends II in this
say that Congress has not the power either to establish

1t seems to us that these declarations Of Senator
Davis cover the whole ground and completely relieve
him from suspicion of the empirical and demagogue
doctrine, that have the right by
indirection, and by the refusal Of remedial laws,
to frown down and crush out slavery from their jurs
dctions. When territorial legislator takes the oath
to support the constitution of the United States,
with all the rights it guarantees, sure that
Senator Davis does not contend that he has the right
:" to retain the mental reservation that he will war
upon the property" of southern immigrants in the
Territory.
If the constitution guarantees the right of hold
ing slave property, whosoever in Territory
swears TO support the constitution, commits per-
jury when he refuses to enact tho remedial laws
requisite for the protection and enjoyment of
that property. Senator Davis does not, we are
sure, belong to the school of political empires,
who are loud in professions Of devotion to the
constitution, and prompt and ingenious in devils
ing the means Of evading and neutralizng it, We
have in the above extracts with what contempt
he speaks Of that class Of demagogues, and we are
sure he is one of the last statesmen in the whole
American Senate who would maintain that terrific
rial legislator or judge has the right to annihilate
rights guaranteed by the constitution by the sly and
cowardly process of denying the remedies requisite
to their existence. .-.. .....
