Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mr. Calhoun's Address to the People of the Southern States

Thus, in the case of the Missouri com promise, the north and the south differed on the con stitutional question, whether Congress had the right to prohibit the introduction of slaves, as a condition of admitting a state into the union. One contended that Congress had the right to impose whatever con dition it might think proper on a territory about to become a state, and the other that it had no right to impose any except that prescribed by the constitution - that its government should be republican.
