by v^rjr large majorities, a bill which pro-
vided foe the election of members to a con-
vention, to frame a constitution and system
of government for the people of Arkansas,
preparatory to theif. admission jnto the
Union as State. *Tbo Governor refused
to approve of the^Bill,.because tie did not
believe that the General Assembly of the
Territory of Arkansas possessed the pow-
er to pass such an act, and that, as the
executive officer .of a Territorial govern-
ment, erected by act of Congress, he had
no power to sanction or conour in such an
act. * r

the rec?iji>t of your communication of the
3i|'st ultimo, transmitting, á bfjpy of a letter
from tlie Governor j of Arkansas, with a
printed address, recently issued by him to
the people of that Territory, and requiring
by direction of the President, my opinion
on ihe constitutional and legal questions
presented in those documents.
. It appeurs from these papers, that ap-
ilioatlons have been made to the Governor
io/ Arkansas, by various meetings of the
Inhabitants of that Territory to convene
the Territorial legislature at an early.jiay,
for the purpose oí passing an act, authoriz-
ing the election of delegatos to a conven-
tion, to form a State Constitution, that
he has declined to comply with this re
quest, thatjhe entertains strong appréhen
siona that the Territorial Legislature at
their next regular meeting to be held in
October «ex , will, pas* iStioh au aot, uud
by so great majority aso*or-r«le.?t)le
negative vested in him bylaw, and' that
the people, Mther with or without such *
law, will proceed to elect delegates to U
convention, and to organise and to put iñ
operation a State Government, witiiout the
authority of Congress—-thut jive is of the
opinion thut under the Constitution -and
Laws of the U. S., no' measures can be
lawfully taken by the citizens of Arkunsas
to form a Constitution and State Govern-
ment, until Confess shnllliuvo tirst grant-
ed tlieni authority •so-todofftiul tl.ut he will
therefore feel himself bound to cun^idei

J t,l«o Territorial GKrver
this request that my opinion is required.
Tho various questions urising on this
case may be classed under two general
iieads.
They have
respect either, 1st. To the
tower of the Territorial Legislature, to pass
iaw^ authorizing tho formation of a Con-
stitution and State Government—Kir, 2d.
To the right and authority of the Citizens
of tlie Territory to take measures for t'hiii
purpose, aiid to the¡ extent to wliioii sueli
proceedings, if4t be lawful to enter On
tliem at all, may properly be carried, «on1-
¿isfenily with tlie Constitution of the ..U*: S.
and the laws lioiv iii force. '
1st. Upon tho tir.it of thess points there
iii, as. it ap¡Je>urs fclrns, no room for reas-
onable dtiubt, The Territorial Govern-
ment has been erected by Congress ¡ the
law for that purpose being passed under
ConSfcitarion which de-
ess shall lmve p^wur
to dispose of, and make ull needful rules
.Slid regulations respecting the territory,
or other property belonging to the United
States." The powers of all tho depart-
ments of the Territorial government, ex-
ecutive, and legislative, and judicial, are
derived from this l>jw, and can only be ex-
ercised in the manner, and within the lim-
its prescribed by its provisions.
The legislative power 5s vested in a Gen -
eral Assembly composed of two bruíichcs,
tho Legislative.Council, and tlie House ot
Representatives, both of which are. olectod
by the people. The act providing for tiie
goverhuiept of the Territory of Missouri
approved Juno 4th, 1 ¿12, and . which is
adopted in tho laws relating to .Arkansas,
as defining tho powers of the Legislative
department, declares that the '"General
Assembly símil have power to make laws,
in all cases both civil and criminal, for
good goeemmsnt of the people oj smd. Ver-
ritory, not repugnant to, or inconsistent
with tin1 constitution and lajys of the U.
S.'- This part of the law is tobo taken in
.Connection with the other provisioas con-
tained in it; and when so considered, it
will ni seen that the whole law was de-
signed to accomplish tho single, purpose of
organizing a tcii;oor.'?ry Territorial gov-
ernment which wis inteilihd to remain
nubject ut all ti.u^s, to the <?- lit\*ol ot
Congress, under toe anthorily, .cuuúíred
upon it by the Coustitutioii o't'tllo (Jdiuu
otates. In the oxereise Of this ayitiiority,
Congress may, at pleasure, repeal or uiotfi-
t'y tlie laws puss, d ny the Territorial Legis-
lature and may at any.time, abrogate and
reuiodi.1 the Lc^bluluie itself,and all other
departments ol the Territ uial go,', in-
¡iients.
To suppose that the legislative power
granted to the General Assembly, included
the authority to abrogate, alter or modify
the Territorial government, established by
the act of Congress, mid ot which the as-
sembly isa constituí nt part,would be muni-
feutly absurd. Tae act of Congress, so far
us it is consistent with tho constitution of
the U. S.. and with tho treaty by which the
Territory, as a part of Louisiana, was ce-
ded to the United States, is the supremo
law of the Territory; It is paramount to
the power of theTerritorialLegislature.nnd
can only be revoked or altered l y the power
from which itemanated. The General As-
sembly,and the people of the Territory, are
as much bound by its provisions, and as in-
capable of abrogating them, as the legisla-
tures und people of the American States
are bound by, and iueapable of abrogating,
the constitution of the U. S, it is also a
maxim of nnivcrsal law, that where a par-
ticular thing is prohibitedby law,all means,
attempts and contrivances t.> effect such
thing, are also prohibited. Consequently,'"th« citizens

'tmbly of Arkansas, to pas any law for

Before meeting with this legislative expo-
sition, óf the treaty, I had come 4o thocpn-
cluslrtti, tliat tho constructiAn proposod by
the Governor of Arkansas', in his printed
address, was too,narrow, ,a;id the-kingpi1 go
apd manifest design of the provisions re-
quired the other and more liberal iflter-
pretatation. Many reasons might be asiigiif-
ed for this opinion but; after the- distinct
recognition of its justice contained in ¡the
act of látíá, I dcem.it ncodless 'o dwell on
this point. '.+> . . -
But' the mgh the treaty engages ^h4idhp
inhabitants of- tlte ci-dtjil "rerritoty, shall,
ai the earliest prauii.u'di1 ■ pflWoili.Ue duly
jüiiiittédüs' State's, into Wieji Union; and
though, this engagement hap bgen, and,yet.
is. obligatory and ihviolable.it by' iw means
follows, that it CHn bo carried into effect,
Without ihe cotisi'tit of Cougrer-s. On the
contiiu-yi like all other treaty stipulations,
which require, to théir complete execution,
the enactment of suitable laws, 'its uctuiil
.'fulfilment exclusively depends on the leg-
isletivo departments- The United States,
in their national character, are bound by
,the stipulation; and it is their duty to pass
the taw* And take nil,the other steps whioh
are necessary to- its faithful execution.
But those laws and other steps can only
he-passed and taken, through the organs
¿prescribed' by thi? federal constitution.
-And, if the department wiiióh,, under tl^e
constitution, possesses the-cxclusive pjiwer
lit )egislatiou, Iinprop'tSrl^ iofus^s(or.ciinitg
to uasfi the noces sary' Iwvs, the stipu.,.
ilition, e'O far'¡IS its fnlfiluient depends on
legislajion, must necessarily remain unex-
ecuted. Such' refusal, or omlftpiUi,
would indeed^ vfiolHte the treatV, and (bai)y

Out ol-it; but so li'iig us pdfsistrd ÍH. tliu,
inhabiuinU would necessarily be etelu-

The obligatory force of tltf * V-aty btip-
ulnti</n is, therefore, to be distinguished
from .Uio propi • mode of carryiug it: iiitt
elfect. Thr obligation must be admitted,
and it eunnot be doubted, will be fafth;uily
fulfilled; but, so fur as legislative etiact-
tnejits arc necessary to carry it into effect,
(hey must be inu3o by the Congresa of th
United States, and cannot bo supplied by
any other department of tlie gtnerftljgov-
ernment. . *
Su law has been passed by congress,
which either expressly or implicitly gives
the people of Arkanzas, tb% -authority to
form a State Government For thfr rea-
sons above stated, I átn, therefore, ofopin-
ion, that the inhabitants of that Territory,
have not, at present, and thAt they cannot

Portland, M« , Nov. 23 —The Steamship

on the Otl^nst. for this wft, went ashore,
on tjie coast,of Nova 'Scotit, on. Monday, the

Victoria yeserifay, and* suppose ft to have
been the Canard eteamor Delta, running be-
tween Haiiax and Bermuda. The accounts
from Sackville and other points respecting
the wreck are very rceagfe, owing to the fact
that tjiere is no telegfaph station in t$e vi-
einityi of the wreck,(and that portion of the
coast is difficult of aV^ess^ The whereabouts
of the surviving pssiVrW^<nd crew is not
ilelinSely known. The iifforniatinn received
is mostly from fifhiwg vertís. No politic )
