According to the opinion of the Revolutionary statesmen, as it would seem, a universal right of free statehood does not imply a universal right of self-government. Statehood and self-government are two different and distinct conceptions.
This doctrine of free statehood as a universal right is, as I understand it, the central idea of the Declaration. Assuming this to be the central idea, let us see how this idea is reached; and for that purpose, let us notice the exact language of the Declaration.
They were barely through Congress when the storm broke on their authors. Jefferson, in retirement at Monticello, saw that his hour was come. He put himself at the head of the opposition and found a whole nation behind him. Kentucky, carved out of the western territory and newly grown to Statehood, took the lead of resistance.
Within the same period one of the leading religious journals of the continent has declared that it would be a selfish and brutal tyranny that would exclude Porto Rico from Statehood.
Of the States which had seceded, two, Arkansas and Tennessee, had endeavored to reconstruct themselves as members of the Union; and their renewed statehood had received some recognition from the President.

Carey: "Drop us if you must. We can trust the men of Wyoming to enfranchise us after our territory becomes a state." Mr.
All of the essential qualifications for statehood were present a large and homogeneous population, wealth, morale, and republican political institutions. Congress did not pass an adverse judgment on the Constitution of 1844, since that instrument provided for a government which was Republican in form and satisfactory in minor details.
It was in their power to have protracted the Mormon controversy, and to have withstood the appeal for statehood, to this day. They yielded everything; they accepted, in return, only the good faith of the Mormons.
