Territory let me ask which State in Its sovereignty IN
affected That where the negroes are, OF the state
where the slaves are owned On the same ground we
might cay, suppose, will probably be the case We
should annex the Feiee Islands to this naon and sup
pose the Senator from the State of Feee should appear
in this BODY, then believe they not only hold part OF
their population in Slavery, but they hold to eating
portion Of them. Suppose he should take his chattes
TO our Territory and claim the protection OF our cou-
try, that be might practice cannibalism there, 1t Is am
you would be bound TO protect him, ellie the State OF

He might cay it is the law of my country. We have
right to roast and eat this property, and if you don
protect rs in IT, will pull down the pillars OF ms

rose the Senator from Illinois would say the Terri
tories have perfect right TO have cannibasm or not
and don't care whetl they have it or not they are

to bring them there and be protected by the laws OF
Congress. Another man says Congress has no right
to lass laws but the Courts, which now omnipo-
tent can proclaim law, and we must all bow dowo
TO it, There If Just this difference OF opinion on that
side of the Chamber, but all agree that Slavery should
be spread 10 the enos earth Bot suppose anothe
case Suppose Brigham Young should come from Utah
to Kansas, any other Territory, with his forty wives
Brigham says these my propertS, and must have
a right to bring them in here the State OF Titan will

position as that. Our safety consists in keeping close
to the Constitution and the moment we do stray from
this we endauger the harmony OF our action. But

Slavery is the normal condition Of the laborng man,
and that it is right Just, and proper if not necessary

that win so with you Let us extend it, and let us
employ missionaries TO preach the glory of Slavery,

on solid foundation, for every man knows that no
