Clarke, of New York, on the Admission of California: Delivered in the House of Representatives, May 13, 1850 Under this power in the Constitution Congress has totally prohibited the introduction of slaves north of the Missouri compromise line; Congress has exercised the power within the boundaries and without the boundaries of the old United States. What principle prevents a similar exercise of power as to California or New Mexico? The power to exclude slavery from the new ter ritories' exists under both the treaty and the war making power. Congress has the power to declare war, and that implies the power to acquire terri tory by conquest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
