Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, on Affairs in Kansas: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, April 3 and 4, 1856 Mr. President, there is perhaps no better settled principle of law than that the power to regulate includes the power to control. When power 18 granted to regulate a subject, it always includes the exercise of full discretion by the body which possesses the power. For this reason it has been held that the power to regulate commerce, con ferred upon Congress by the Constitution, includes the power to lay a'perpetual embargo. The em bargo which was laid during our difficulties With England preceding the last war, had no limita tion. In that case the question arose; and our courts decided that the power to regulate com merce included the power entirely to prohibit it, without limitation of time. The power conferred by the Constitution to regulate trade with the Indian tribes is a power to prohibit trade with those Indian tribes; and it has been exercised very often. The same principle has been fre quently decided by the Supreme Court ofthe Uni; ted States in many different forms, where the application of the principle has arisen.
