To the Southern Members of Congress.

Gentlemen No doubt you all know that what were the
sentiments of Mr. Webster and Mr. Everett the
Of the joint acquired Territories still the sentiments OF
the Northern majority of Congress.
In the celebrated speech of Mr.. Webster to an immense
y large audience at Buffalo in May, 1851 he said Gen
tee have always contended that any measure OF Con
gress calculated bring territory into the Unon is
beyond the the Constitution and against its pro-
visions.
at my opinion that it not in the original scope
and design Constitution to admit States into the
Union out of foreign territory (meaning slave territory by
which the South might receive some beneft) and never
would that there should be of slave terri
tory beyond what the old thirteen States had at the time of
the formation of the Constitution never-neyer
''When States to be admitted into the Union,
Congress nng the Northern majority have the right
whether they shall come in not and what they shall
bring along with them"
