Veto of (iov. Klurk
Tho Territorial Lugislaturo of Nobra*k, in
open delluiieo of the Dred decision, passed
au net abolishing slavery, which Governor Black
promptly returned with bis vsto, We wish that
otir iqioeo allowed us to present tho whole me*,
sago to uur renders, it is tho ablest exposition
of Territorial right* and the clearest comm out ary
upon tho Kansu* and Nebraska uot. that we have
seen. After considering tho question so far a* it
is affected by th© treaty with Franco in tho acqui
sition of Louisiana, Gov. Black remarks:
Tho Federal Government is a government of
States and not of iudividtinis or of masse*. Peo
ple makeup the -tales and States make up tho
confederacy. Though the general government
acts on individuals, within und without the
States, it is only in the exercise of powers, delo
gAtod by the .States, and oonferred in tlm consti
tution.
Iu the first American Congress or 1774, colo
nies came together, through their representative*
and by a union of colonies the wrong* of Massa
chusetts Bay wore made tho wrong* of Pennsyl
vania and Virginia. The revolution was not a,
social revolution—it was political. It wasarev
olution of colonies hy natiM. The Congress of
1776 was a Congress ot Colonies, ami tho decla
ration was alive with lh one greui truth, “that
these l-'idled Colonies ore, and of aright ought to
be free and independent Bistcs.’* They mudo
good their declaration, and became, not only free
tint sovereign.—each one sovereign and |imicpi'n
dentwifhiu itself. The articles of cnMtoderiilipn
were entered into by States: the constitution was
formed hy u convention of States, each State
adopting the coiistitulioft fox itself, tluls making
it, as fat a* applicable, a Haw unto itself.’
Alt territory ** acquired la become n Mate; lut
it is likewise acquired for tho common benefit of
the existing Hutto*. It is their.*, and tho federal
government holds it as their Trustee. Como
quently, every citizen of every State ha* a shore
in it. It is his in the first instance, because ho
is a citizen of someone of the L idled Htutcs, and
hi* has a right to *utor into the Territory, cloth
ed with his rights tu a citizen of the State, lie
takes his property with him, from hi* own State,
and if he may uot do {so, then the Territory is
not acquired for the common aud equal benefit
of the several States. Does tho constitution of
the United Suites, theu. carry slavery into tha
HttrritorkM? No; but, under the Constitution,
und hy virtue of it, the fcdcrul government (in
quires territory, for the common and equal bene
fit (if the several Stalfes—zlavoliolding and non
slnveholdiiig alike. JBr-iug acquired, all may
go into n. with their property, of whatever kind,
und if tlu-y may not there i> no equality, That
the constitution recognizes *luv6s as property is
■settled beyond ti doubt. Ami though it- cArri©*
-i nr cry _ll*wbex‘. ands- im-lini-.-s it.—
A sbtV(‘ hold by the laws of Kentucky est-apttfl’
) into Ohlo.atader the cmistitttUon he is sfill as
j much pro|*erty as he \vt before. Tho lav. of
KonUHiky doe* not follow tiiui, nor can it hold
him within the Btate where slavery is prohibited;
but the constitutiou cuu, and doc*. B<> there is
no escape from the fattt, that outside of the State
limits the constitution dues assert the right of the
I master to his slave a# property, and it recognize*
j tbc relation existing between them as lawful. It
ie u special prevision, 1 admit, but it must be
Lome in mind that it is not the special provision
which makes hiiu property. It recognise* th©
right of property us already existing. When this
Territory ws first organised, bud the cULeris of
all th Stale* tho right to couife into it, with tbuir
families and their flocks? Had tlio citiaen# of
MibSouri the same right to enter hito the enjoy
ment of the*r common estate, a# tho citiaen* of*
lowa, and had both the right to bring with them
any property which which they saw fir? If they
might not, by what law were they restrained or
forbi fduii ’! Surely mil by the treaty, for it ia
sealed tu the protection of property, persons and
religion alike. With it, these three arc equally sa*.
cred. Not by the prohibition of 11420, called, in
awful rnockory the Missouri compromise, for that
i was repealed, and is now pronounced unconstitu
tional and void. I assume, then, that thu citiaen*
| of the btiito# owuiug slave# had tlio right to come
i here with their properly when the Territorial gov
eminent was organized.
This brings us to the question of power in the
Territorial Legislature. Have we the power to
manage our domestic affairs in out own way, and
exercise tho rights of Legislation as a free peo
ple ? I answer, we hate, beyond peradventure
orduuhL But communities, like individual*,
I have relative duties, as well us absolute and rela
tive rights; wo must u*m’ugr “wu rights, so that
j wc donut injure or take away flic right* us other*.
| This is good morals uud good law. The doctrine
i of the rights us the .Slates lies at the very founda
| tiuii of our political fabric. To legislate against
. tbci ighi# of any one State i* to strike a moral
I blow at the rights ol all.
Iu this uiloiupt to prohibit slavery by an act of
theTeriturial Assembly, ] nui eonstiuiued to say
you fiuve overlooked the true in turn mid meaning
ul thu organic law.
it should bu remembered that the restrictive line
against, slavery, knowu as deg. 30 miu. was
dusigned not only to coulrol the Teritorte# north
of mat Hue, but to exclude slavery forever from
:U Mates L> las formed between that lhu* and the
Itfili degree; thus making flu• act of Congress lo
operate ou Htate# un well its Tcrrtories. I s;iy this
was thu design of thu ad of 1820. uflil .Mr. tday
ton proved It in the depute. Indued the great
object was “t bavutto more slave fciatce.”
A j the organization of Kansas and Nel.ruska,
the AfissCiuri restiiotioii wu# blotted out, uud de
clared iuoiMjVutivu ami void; “it being the true
in teat wmJ meaning of this uct uot to legislate
j slavery info any Territory or {state, nor to ex
clude it therefrom, but to leave the people there—
j oi perfoetly free to term and regutute their de
an stic institution* in their ov. n way, subject only
U> the ci.ustitutiou of the Foiled Mate#.” This
wn* (he triumpli yf popuJursovereignty over Ctm
grc#sional reatririion. The right us tho people
to form and regulate their doufevtic institutions in
their own way, subject only to tbecohstitulionof
tho Futted States. Surely you cannot think that
i hi* meant thu Territorial Legislature created in
the iniucluw amt by thu same (’..ogress. Is that

“Ami he it further enacted, that the legisla

J Intend th© utmu.sf respect, but I must say
“the people” mentioned in the fourteenth *fcc I ion
of the organic act never did mean, and was never
intended to mean, “the*Tcrrit**rlal Assembly ”
It was the people of tliu Territory,in their orig
inal and sovereign capacity, and they only, which
could have been intend* <l. “The sovereignly of
a State” (says Judge McLean) “does not rouble
in the persons who nil tho ‘intercut departments
of it* government, hut in,tbo poopUwfruin whom
the government 6omui• ted. aud who may uhunge
it at their discretion.” Thi* Is true. When the
p .>ple *.f HiD Territory mewl in convention to

f**r the first time, form their domestic institutions.
This is creative power, and implies perm nency
They (Fill likewise form and regulivfo their domes

*.f your |M*wers, tthkh ure temporary, because tho
Territorial government itself i but temporary,
thu organic act says 1 1 icy “shall extend l” ail
rightful subjects of legislation consistent with the
conatifotion of thy United Mutes, and the provis
ions of this act.”
But not so when “the people” are referred to.—
They ar© subject only to the constitution of the
United Status. In creating their own constitu
tion, and thuH preparing to form and regulate
their domestic inslrlutions, in their own way, (not
the way prescribed by Congrcs* for the more Ter
ritorial government,) they are not subject to the
“provisions of this mb” but “only, to the consti
tution of thu thiifcl States.”
And iu thus forming their >*wu institution* io
their own way, ami entering the Union, with or

fitirtu sovereignty and popular sovereignty to

of a perfect and oomploto system.
