Delivered in the Senate oriha l\ Slate*, July 20,1 ° i - The Senate having under consideration the bill lo establish the if rritorial go*ern;iients of Oregon, New Mexico, and California: Mr. BADOKR said : I am very aoiry that my honorable friend who reported this bill,(Mr. CLAV-TON.) felt himself compelled, by considerations of duly, under ihe influence of which I know he alwuysacts, here and elsewhere, to press, the measure through the Sentte, and lo prevent.su far as depended on' his nt'iion and ' influence, a full, ample, and thorough investigation of ihe sub-ject in all iis bearings. Whrit is the character of :he measure? It is a proposal tos«ule a most difli- C'i't andani'ously-comidered subject, upon a plan, a iiirely navel-.ine heretofore proponed by no rnie, and, so far as is known, thought* of by no one. It is a measure ul immense importance, relating, as it does,, to a subjtct in itself of vust concern and you see by my complexion, ul.hough implicated by many incidental difficult).*.-.

Nor doea it specify the purpose for which war if to be waged, or Ihe manner in which il ia lefca concluded; bur leaves these aa i.eccssory uicideais tothe treaty-making and war.making powers re. speciively. Again, the Constitution baa not only omitted any express restriction upon the treaty-making power, but declares Ibat "all treatiea aue,")or which shall be made, under the author-ity of the TTnited Slates, shall be the aunreraeVbjw of this land." - Whatever limitations, therefoa. mar from the nrcee>iiy of the case be inferreoS— aa for instance, thai a treaty cannot be made to destroy ihe Government, or the Constiiution.or any integral part ol them, or to introduce,, any. new element of political power—it ia certain Ibat ihe treaty-making power is subject lo no express limitation whatever. When theConstitotion was formed, various kinds of treaties were knowu among nations ; and all these were undoubtedly, included in ihe grunted power. Among these-were treaties of cession, by which ihe linked Stalea migbt acquire aa well as cede lerrudry.— The power is a large .one. and the limilaliona isp» ua it. whatever they may be, have not yet been defined or applied.

Agaio, by treaty, the United Slates ■can set up a demand fur a debt which has beei. 'by duo course of law paid and faiisfied. This wns done with regard to ihe, British debts which had been riohifully conJUcaled by Stale authority durmc the Revolutionary war, and (he amount paid into ihe imUMirie* of Ihe respeciiva . Srates. And, again, by treaty the United Slates may ac-quire authority lo ereci judicial tribunals ond con-fer judicial power wiihin ihe territory of a foreign and indepeuden: nation. Of 'his we have an ex* ample in the bill now on our lable—lo ereciauch tribunals and confer such power—to be exerciser in the empire of China. It seems, therefore, to fnllow necessarily, as wo'l from the express gran; of power as from the practice of the Government, thai ihe President and Senate by treaty, may ac-quire lerrimiy for the United Slates. When ibal acquisition i* made, by ihe exlenl of the power thus granted, the Constitution confers expressly upon Conere.-s the power to legislate for the Goa-erniii-' n', <■.! ihf lernmry >v acj'tired. For it con-fers on Congress the power " lo moke all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution" • " powers vested by this Constitution in lha Gotri rogtcol of the United States, or in any de- HI -m or officer thereof." To my undersland- * ; ,i is therefore plain thai, by lhe treuly-making ; -ver, we have express authority lo acquif* iei-ritory ; and, by the provision I hove cited, Con-gress has express authority lo legislate for il wbea acquired. Now, sir, upon ihis power, what svra (he restrictions, and where are ihey to bo found? There ara plainly none in ihe Constitution itself. Iiisone thing for us to ihink that certain restraints upon the exercise of this power would be conven-ient, .would ot ihis particular time be reasonable, would subserve ihe interests of that section of the country in which we happen lo live, or, if you please, ihe general interests of lhe whole; and it is another and a very difTVrent ihing lo show an „ This is the aye of progress In (he olden time, it actual restriction upon lhe power ilself.
