I de.ir i otiry to express my vie s in relation to cer- j tsui particular questions that have been pre- j senled with some proiiiiiicuce in the course I of this long di bal.- ; and one of the most . i ttiterenting and important of those que-tioij I is that which afTects the relation existing i between a territorial covcrnmeiit atid the a (iovernment of the United States. It i. supposed by some, as it seems, that those ! territorial governments, when organized. undir the authority of Longre-s, Lave cer ' tain independent powers of their own, not conferred, but inherent in them, as a sort of sovereignty or political power indepen dent of any that may have been conferred by express delegation of ( ongres. My idea upon that sul ji tt, Mr President, ailhout aahadow of doubt, 1- that a territori al government is the mere creature of Con- crei-s. made and falijoned by Congress as it pleases, llli what functions it pleases, with hat poser it thinks proper to center ; that I I in--e powera are lubie ti be resuineil at uy tiii.e, or to bo f.siiiitied ini controlled and ehangeil at the pleasure of ( "r'''-'-'. aim arcoramgio us ui-ereiion i ruunr, - - t ii j I rtignty in the lerritory ; all a mere rtclcga lion ol power, and is in Miboi iination at all timea lo the Coi.gre.-a of the United Slates. know of no sovereignly in t . i - country, no suprenie po'ilical power, except that origi nally vested iu the people ol the U die I Siatea. 'I hey arc I he. lia'U'al di p j-itai ies. ( are the nttur owiiergifevervil.ingiiiie aupreliie power or aovereig iiiy. TlirJ have, lo form this Government, drb gated a c r taiti portion of thni aovereiLi,ty to the Con gresa of the United Slates. 'I he bo!e, then, of this sovereignly, exist, as to that part uot delegated , in tlu people. As to lhat part which th y have delegsted, that is in Congress; at.d bi.reis the disposition of the whole sovereign supteiiie power of this country. None has been delegated lo ny one rice None cettiinly, has been delegated to the territorial yovi rtinir lit. '1 bey ire, as ! G.i-t stated, the mere ciea turea of Congress, without any power, any lunction, t xeent what Congr s", l the act rst.blubitikr lhat govemmi tit, pleased to grant ; and that always held at the ari l traun til of t'ougreaa it. elf There can be none other. Thne is noplace iu our writ ten ) .teni of laws fut it the people is the original and the natural source of all this soie.-eigtiiy. All remains in th m cx rrpl bat Ihey have granted. They have granted no portion of it excel t lo the (it n eiai 'iovernment. Certainly, Ihey have granted none to the territorial government.. j 1 he whole praciical sovereignty of the coun lliy over its Territories is vested in the Congress of the United States then; 'whaltbey have granted lo the Teriiiorir- , le ongs lo the leriitoites, ana noiiiiiig more.

T 1 r .1 . . r,cu ty, as that which these resolutions an- 1 reso ut inns aimed, ari l for the correct on ct 1 j' '. h:ch thev are intended. What is lhat tir ? 'I be grievance complained of is that slave property iu tho Territories is left, not only without adequate protection, but may be K-fl to incisures of the territorial govern ment impairing the right of property in sli'-s J hat is the giievance. It is in ap prehension that the Territories nili not give laws adi quale to the protection of such property, but on the contrary may act against lhat property by hostile or unfriend ly legislation. That is the apprehended evil. I believe my honorable tiiend Irotn Mississippi, who introduced these resolution did at the tune he proposed lliein adtuil that there rX'sted liOW no actual grievance Call ing for the interposition of tins G overiiment Mr. DAVIS. A my friend from Ken lucky refers to me, I would merely say that I ,i;.i .,. ; I .,.1.., ... .. I,.,,, nr the f.ict. 1 considered the declaration ..f srinciple to b co-eternal with the exi-teuce of our Government, and co extensive widi the di Govcrnnieiit is lo be invoked for the pur pose of securing that description of proper ly in tbe Territories. As the territnilal government has nosoverign or independi nt riL'hl lo act 0.1 this subject, the Supreme IV...M of th. United States having deteriniii - ed that every ciliteii of Ihe United Stale may go into lhat Terriiory carrying his I slaves with him, and holding ihem ihere, j nif opinion is. that the Ccnsiiiutioi. is to proteet that property which it ha auihorix ed to 0 there, tlf course, that is a logical conclusion.
