There can be no just ground for any discrimination between the two cases. New Territory is surely not more sacred than the old thirteen States, or the present thirty-one States. The will of a majority prevails in the cases last enumerated, and the same orthodox principle should prevail in the newly-acquired Territory. What is the doctrine of the Wilmot Proviso ? It is the sixteen Free States declaring to the fifteen Slave States — you are part owners of this Territory ; you have shed your blood... and expended your treasure in acquiring it, but you shall have no share in its enjoyment or profits. Strip it of its trappings, and it amounts to this : there are thirty-one stockholders in a cor- poration, and sixteen say to fifteen, it is true you are part owners and have contributed to the purchase of our common property, but you shall have no share in the enjoyment of its privileges or the receipts of its profits. Such a doctrine is subver- sive of every principle of justice and equality, and cannot be sustained.
