The truth is, that no state can claim admission into the union, unless the right be granted to it by some stipulation or treaty. The only stipulation relative to this territoiy is an article in the treaty by which France ceded Louisiana to the United States. Missouri is part of that country, and claims the bene- 17 fit of that article, which declares, •' tliai the iiihabitanii. Of the territory shall be incorporated in the union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according ...to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all rights, advantages, and immunities, of citizens of the United States ; and in the mean time they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess. " Therefore the decision of this question, whether Congress has the power to impose this restriction, depends upon the construction of this article. The latter clause refers to Lou- isiana, before the inhabitants shall be admitted into the union.
