Massachusetts is willing to abide by the yielding obedience to all that will, they differ totally as to what it requires or authorize And the question, which baft often occurred Id- thousands is: Is there any necessity far-this difference rtherei; anything in the or ia the facta which make up the history of its formation, which must cessarialy lead Massachusetts and: Georgia to; the adoptum of such Iwely? different views in regard to itJL And to this ernes- won uns 'u8wrt) answer is And not only is there no necessity for it. but there is nothing to justify or excuse it. the" Constitution, if really so ambiguous and uncGrtiiin. or rather bo certain in construe-1 tions insisted on aa true ones, would imply, can be entitled to but little respect trom any tie respect from any botii right in their quarter indeed to none at a setts and Georgia are botii constructions.

It most be miserably vague and uncertain, or absurdly certain in oppo site senses, or else one of these States must be in gross and inexcusable error in regard to it. an instance ot. inia yertatmy in opposite senses Georgia is certain that 'any act prohibiting the -iDtroduction of slavery into the Territories of Utah and New would be a palpable of the Constitution, and has avowed her trar poise "to resist it even (as a last resort) to -ine aisrupnon oi eveiy mv -wuica umua uer to -the while equally.certain that such an act would be clearly within the spirit and true in- Vtt fWAhrtSm. imUt ma.

Tho same is true of Georgia upon the sup-1 position that the construction of Dlassachu- setts is right: It would be singular if the honest patriotic-and intelligent men' who modified and shaped the Constitution." as finally adopted for ra eertaw purpose; and meant to make that purpose clear and intelligible, had left an important point like this in such doubtthat the people of Massa chusetts and Georgia most neccessarily, or can honestly, come to opposite conclusions in regard to it.

'JLnere is no unfathomable mystery hanging over this point, and especially nothing necessarily dark and mysterious to one and light and luminous to the By consulting the laumruage of the Constitution, the declarations of I those who made it, and the lights of con-temperaneous histoiy, every candid and dil-' igent enquirer may learn what the substantial truth a Men may have fallen into error upon matters of fact, and in that way have been led' to form erroneous opinions and conclusions but they can be discovered and cor rected. '-If I find on reading your lecture that I have been in' error as to any. important fact, and have been 'misled by it, can admit and correct it Sou I point out ia- portant errors into which jou navo fallen," as I shall you can see admit and cor rect them. One, in particular, is your de-' claration that "when the Constitution was the question (of Slavery) had been settled in the North-west Ten itqry 4y the articles of cession of that Territory by the state of Virginia' This is a mistake, and a very lmtiortant one, too, as it leaves the most difficult and troubleboine fact that lay in your way wholly 3 What was done to settle the question of slavery in that territory was done by the United States, and not by the Cession of Virginia asjnueh, certainly, as what was done to set tle or attempt to seuie toe same question in Kansas and Nebraska by the Missouri Compromise; was done by the United States and not by the cession of France One was done by the United "States acting through the Federal Government under the Confederation, and the other by the United State acting through the Federal Government under the Constitution: and there was an substantial difference jin the powers of the government on this subject, at the differ- ent periods.it was that they rere- enlarged by the Uonstitution.

I alludo to it here merely to i show Bow widely we differ in reference to a fact which has such an important bearinsr on the early policy of the United States in respect to flarcry, andyo how certamy Me must agree in regTd to it.
