They do, it is true, concede in the argument, to freemen the privilege of cultivating i he soil in those Territories, upon the condition that they should assume asocial position approxi- mating nearer to that of the slave than of his mas- ter. They do in argument here, concede the right of the citizens of the free States to emigrate to the Territories; but they claim for themselves the exclusive right, who*i they emigrate there, of carrying with them the laws of the States from which they emigr...ate, and of which they are no longer citizens.
The gentleman from Georgia has said that "there is not a slaveholder in this House or out of it but who knows perfectly well that, whenever slavery is. Confined within certain specified limits, its future existence is doomed; it is only a ques- tion of time as to its final destruction. " And the gentleman tells us that, "if we take any slave holding county in the southern States in which the great staples of cotton and sugar are culti- vated to any extent, and confine the pri sent slave-, population within the limits of that county, such is the rapid natural increase of the slaves and the rapid exhaustion of the soil in the cultivation of those crops, that in a few years it would be im- pbssible to support them within the limits of such county, both master and slave would be starved out; and what would be the practical effect in any one county, the same result would happen to all the slave holding States" — that " slavery cannot be confined within certain specified limits with- out producing the destruction of both masterand slave; it requires fresh lands, plenty of wood and water, not only for the comfort and happiness of the slave, hut for the benefitof the owner.
