I Mr.. Chairman, in enc view Of the sab
! isek bsfora rs, let ms say that the Con-
grass OF The United States was created
under the Constitution for eeFtata ex-
pressed purposes, and its powers are ds'
lined therein. The third section Of ar
tieia hesh OF the Constitution contains
the following provision "Tho Congress
shall have poWar 10 dispose Of and make
all needknI rules RRd regulations res
! peeting the territory and other prnperfy
belonging 10 tbs United States" Tbs
Federal Govsrnmsnt was created for TIE
purpose, among other things, Of yepei4'
ing foreign iaTaaiep, REFRESHING aomeS-
tic insurrsoti0ns, and se0ariRg 30 eaoa
sGass @ Repuhlioan form of eoTerRment
! The Republican party rely On tina hftE
| article Of Ehe Constitution for poWsr Il
interfere, through Congress- with tht
sabiece OF slavery Id sha Territories. -
What, sir, is the sense in which the wort
tsterffaory'' is to be understood, II shi'
provision Of the Constitution | say
Il means property. Its meaning 10 con
troIIed by she words Immediately foE
lowing, which carry with them the TQ'
Interpretation of the preceding word
rsThe Congress shall have power TO dba
rose Of and make all nesafai rules aae
| regulations respecting the territory ane
other properly bstouging 10 the Unlte'
ssasaa.ss The words, Mhan taEsu to
Rather, ~ clearly express the true nleaa
ing Of the trainers Of that Instrument
as If they hagfsaid, taThs Congress shai
4 have power to dispose Of all the real Ant
paraanal pssysrsy bHiongfng 70 Ehs tnl
ted States. - y. s.4s ia. ...s. .......
denv that il means that the Congress
| has power to legisiats upon the potiEica
y4shts of the citizens, or TO legisiaEe up
. an the rfrAs Of private property. An
the decision of the Supreme Court 0
tha United states, in the case OF Dire
gcott ns. Sanford, has thus settled 10
oueation. The Law, as settled in tha

grsaa has no power u legislasa, eishe
