^ "Sir I never did agree with my friend from Michi- gan 'in regard to what is supposed to be the con- struction of the Nicholson letter. I never did be- lieve that a Territorial Legislature possessed any power whatever, but such as is delegated to it^by the Congress of the United States. * * . . „x Sir what do you require of them. " (The territories?) "That they shall pass no law that is not to be sub- mitted to Congress for its approbation, leaving them strictly to the control of the Congress ...of the United States in every act that they may pass. And yet, gentlemen get up at this day and advocate on ^ the floor of the Senate, the monstrous doctrine that these Territoral Legislatures, consisting of a mere handful of men, should make laws to affect every description of property. " _ c ■ . Now sir-, I will give you the testimony of a giant -none of your "Uttle giants;" but of a man who was indeed a giant-a nian-a northern man, who stood above all other men, as an expounder of the Constitution.
