equal right 70 settle in them with Whatever prop
erty they may legally possess, and, IS the right,
Of prepsfty ere not derived from Congress, b.,
are inherent in the people et the several States
therefore Congress cannot intervene for the pur'
pose Of establishing or destroying the right ol
property in the services of negroes or any o.hel
description Of psopery. bat thar it is is boandeu
