they are perfectly FREQ. Another senaior
says that they have right to bring them
there, and be protected by the laws Con-
gress. Another NAH says Congress bss no
right TO pass laws. but the Courts, which
are now .onnipo.ent. cab proclaim law.
,nd We must all row down TO i. There
is just difference OF opinion on that side Of
the Chamber, but all agree that slavery
should be spread TO The ends OF the earth.
But suppose another case. Suppose Brig.
ham Young should come from Utah TO
Kansas. or any other Territory, with his
forty wives, Brigham says ih,se are my
properly. and / must have right to bring
them in here. OF the State Of Utah will not
have her equal rights. Away with sucb
doctrine. There is no guarantee in the Con-
s'ituiion for any such position ss that. Our
safety consists in keeping close TO the Con-
siitutioD, and the moment we do stray
from this we endangsr the harmony Of our
a,tion. But. waving the Constitutional
law, will supJose that you have right
10 take your slaves into the Territories and
hold ,hfm there. Still Sir. is it pxpedhnt,
tight and proper 10 Goit? And that brings
me 10 consider a question that has been
incidentally brought up. The fathers Of the
Republic, | believe. without a dissenting
} vol e, agreed iha, slaveholding was against
the common right of man, and was wrong
! in itself, and should not be cherished. But
we End they did not understand it. And
I now the slsveholding States have found
: out Slavery is the normal condition Of the
3 blask race and blessing to society, and
, therefore ought TO be extended.
That is the only issue wish 10 make,
Il because know your determination 10 tx

y Of the latorhg man, and that p right, and

i all concerned. fyou are right in tia, /
o will go with you. Let us extend il. and
S let us employ missionaries 10 prtach the
g glory Of Slavery, and induce the whole
!, world TO turn slavebolders or slaves. ]
/ am glad at last 10 see this great question
e placed On solid foundation, for ev, ~
