There is in of the volumes of the Madison Pa- pers. something which seems to be decisive of lie constu ional quesio the adn ssion of Texas as aew State. In page 1240, will be found the or,gin- al language of the Constitution in relation 10 new States. The clause, as il stands n the draft ported bv the committee, ,s the 17th article, and ia these words: "New States iaefnity constituted established withn the hmds of Ms United States, may be admitted by the Lsysiatre into th,s Government but 10 such admission, the consent of two-thrds ot the members present in each House shall be necessa- ry." The plan of the Constitution was afterwards recommitted to committee, who reported the clause il stands, Stkisg out the ,cords abore aicsed and thus leaving the admission of new States uitoaf restr,ctOn iinitation which they created. This 10 our m'nd is conclusive; though were perfectly satisfied before, the words thew States, in this clause s but a substitute fsr the word "Canada," in the Articles of Confederation. which could not have been literally retained without unbrage 10 G Great Britain.
