directed.

crime.

regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor; but shall
be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may
be due.
SEC. III.—1. New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union;

States, or parts of States, without the consent of the Legislature of
the States concerned, as well as of the Congress.
2. The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful
rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property
