their feeling and opniimis tijton the subject respected,,

legislation. I have cothe lt-vsuie, if 1 deemed
it ntx-espa-ry, to assign (he reasons which have brongkt
my mii?d to rhis conclusion. The pointi irj regard to
the measure itself can be stated in-a few words. The ' ,
'authority of C -ngiess to tran?fer to the people of the
Territories all th power it possesses under the CHisti- s
tution to legislate f-r tlie Territories has, as far as I
know, never been questioned. It has been exercised :
f urn the Government, ifi respect to all proper subjects
of this legislation from the highest to the lowest. '
Not having a copy of the JSebrutrka-Kansas act, I take
its provisions irv regard to the authority'- it jrofest-es
to confer from Mr. Buchanan's admirable letter of ac-
ceptauce, where the sidiject is, I doubt hot, fairly pre
sented. He .thus describes it : "This legislation is
founded upn the principles-of the Government itself,
and in accordance with' them as simply declared tlfat
th people of a Teriitor', like those tf a State shall .
decide for Tthcihselves, whether: slavery shall or shall"
nut exist within tlieir limits : s.?v declariag ft
to be the true intent and meaning of- this act to b-giis- .
late blivtry into any territory nor to exclude it there- i
from, but to leave.tbo people thereof perfectly-free ',
from arid. to regtiUite: their domestic institutions' iu
tht irtiwn way, subject only t jtl.o tmti tution of the .
Unite I States.' ; . ------ - - . .' -
"rrtm these.teims itis too clearto r.4mit of dispute
or 'cavil that it was the in'tentionof Congress to cloth '
the people of tl Territories wMh ampfe power to ex- '
iltidtv slavery within their Icuiits, hs well Wbile Ibey
continued 'tevritories ; as in. making provisions for Its 'r
excbPlon from the State ilien that transition Khali '

irraut thai is, waetber the Cohstituticn author- -
fiytes Congress te clothe the; people of t the Territories '.
with a jower to exclude .slavery tierefrom wnne tney.,
