Where in the Constitution can be found any authority given to the Piesident to provide lor bringing States into this Union ? Nowhere ; but we, the representatives of the people of the United States in Congress assembled, sent here to do tlieir will under the Oou-titation of tue United States, are the only tribunal to decide as to the admissii>n of a State. We are the only body that oiight in a free (Jovernment to declare upon what principles a State that is outside of the legislative department... shall be admitted to 2>ar- kcipate in it. I do not care for that purpose whether the conunanity is a 'i'erritory of tlie United States, or a State which has forfeited all right or all ability to acf for itself. Such qiiestions are ours ; they do not belong to the President of the United States ; and if they did this free Government of ours, of which we boast so much, would be the most concentrated despotism upon the face of the earth. While we encroach not a. Hail- upon the province of the Executive, let us stand firmly upon our basis under _ the Constitution, and do that which is our duty before the people of the United States.
