I rUATTER SOVEREIGNTY
There appear to be wide discrepancies of coo
: structMHi of a prominent principle of the Ke-
brasla bill prevailing in tbe loeofoco party.
This contrariety -of sentiment partake of a sec
tial cast Kofthern Democrat claiming for
the people of a Territory the right to regulate
: th'ir own concerns In their own way, indepen-
dent of Congrei while Southern Democrats coo
tead that the Territorial government, being sub-
. ordinate to tbe Federal government, neither the
Legislature nor. the people ve any such right.
The doctrine of. the former is what is familiarly
: known sis Squatter Sovereignty, claiming for its
paternity the d'stinguuhed Senator from Michi-
gan, tien. Casa. !
This doctrine, was first eliminated by Gen.
Cass in his "celebrated Nicho.'son letter, wherein
' he said, " The iaterference of Congress should be
limited to the creation of proper government for
new Territories acquired or settled, and to the
: Bevessanr provisions for their eventual admission
into tbe Union, leaving, ia the meantime, to the
people' inhabiting them, -to regulate their own
cencerns in thei own way." This same doctrine
was expressed by tbe same gentleman on another
occasion, in the following still more emphatic
terms r Organized oommunibes, exercisi? the
powers of government, whether in the States or
Territorities, ha alohe the right of determining
the question of lavery, lor themselves."
The quick perception and astute sagacity of
Mr. Calhoun discovered at once tbe covert mis-
' chief thai was smothered . in this generalizing,
. and, at the first Lliuh, specious and popular axi-
. ora. It was seea, but rot until after awhile, (no
great was the faith of the Democracy in Mr,
Caai.) that tbi assertion of the aovereigntj of the
" people of the Territories over property In the
. Territories conceded the right of the people of a
Territory to exclude slavery : -or, in other words,
to declare that not to be property ia a Territory
bclging to all the States, which ia recognized
as prnperty by .the L nited States, and held as
- property in fifcea States of the Union. .This is
the essence of what is called "Squatter Sovereign-
ty" which Ge. Casa fathers, and which such
; leading Detnocrits as Bright, of Indiana, the Pre-
iMeut pro fea. t4 the Senate, Dcikinson, of Kew
York, Dodge, o( Iowa, abj Douglas, the young
giaut.of the-Weit, i-peuly saoctiou and endorse.
During the memorable debate on the Nebraska
1411 in tbe Senate in" 1854, Douglas gave expres
sion to his opinions in tlte following frank and
clearhaoguage :1 "I )iave always held," he aaid,
! "thai the people have a right to settle these
i question a they choose, not only when they
4-ome into the Union as a State, but that they
aLair be permitted to do so while a Territory.
Ou the other , hand thi specious doctrine har
; always been held by Southern statesmen as heJ
, tcr.j.Joi and nusehJevoua, and ha provoked,
1 mori thsn any other, unqualified denunciation.
. Tu great exponent and champion of Southern
t ghi..Mr. Calhoun M off and pronounced it tn
i V the most monstrous doctrine ever advanced
by j any American, statesman." Thai master
. mind put tbe question in the shape of a proposi-
titHi, si follow a, Tnd which conveys an argument
i that cannot be "met: "If the Territories belong
to the United States, if the ownership, dominion
' ' atV advereiznty over them be in the State o!
; tW. Union, then- neither the inhabitants of thc
Territoriea, nor their Legbdaturea, can exerclw
. auV piwer bat whatis subordinate to thern" c
)f" "But if the rerero be true, if tin
t dominion and sovereignty over tbe Territories bt"
in tbej inhabitant,. . i they might exclud.
; whonUhey pleased, and what they pleased. But I
ia that case, they would cease ti be Territories of
the Uuited States the moment we acquired them
and permitted : them to be iuhabitcl. . Tbe first
tialf doaeu of squatters would become the sove
reigns, with full domitdon and sovereignty over
loem." ' ;. . . "
- This is the Southern doctrine of non-intervention,
in contradistinction from the Northern De
mocratic doctrine of " Squatter Sovereignty,"
which has been formally declared by Southern
Democratic Conventions ."as Indefensible in prin
ciple aud dangerous in p-actic as the Wilmot
Proviso," but which, nevertheless, at this pre
sent time, is a cardinal principle of Northern De
mocracy. ", , , .
Such was the conflict of opinion among mem
bers of the same party, six or eight years ago,
upou the great principle involved in the Nebras
ka bill, which at the present time is considered
as the sure test of Democracy. The subject has
been revived in the House of Representatives, as
a kind of episode to the tedious business of vot
ing for a Speaker, and some interesting facts eli-
cited. ' Mr. Cox, a member from Keutucky, put
tbe direct question to Mr. Howard, of Michigan,
whether he beiieved that tbe laws established
by the Legislature of the Territory of Kansas
are, under the Constitution, null and void, and
added
" I asked the question for the purpe of bet-,
ter illustrating the ground taken by Democrats
on the stump iu the late election in not one,
but several of the Statr of this Uuion. 1 un
derstood that the ground was Ukeu, during the
late canvass for legislative offices, by Nebraska
Democrata North, that Congress, by the repeal
of the Mi.tsouri Compnjmie, bad conferred on
the Territory power to rstablih or abolish slave
ry ; and that iu this regard the North had the
advantage, because it could pour in population
more rapidly than tbe South, and thus prevent
Kansas or Nebraska ever becoming slave territo
ry. In abort, I uudfrstand that the ground was
taken before the people that 4jie Kansas-Nebraska
bill waa a measure in favor of freedom."
Mr. Howard replied
"I waa of opinion that the due effect of the
Kansas-Nebraska act was to allow slaveholders
tn p into tbe Territories with their slave proper
ty, and to receive therethat protection, lv vir
tue of the Constitution, whk-h thev do with that
property upon the high seas uuder the nag of
the LuhHi. I brought tnat as oue of the Charges
against the measure; in that I was in favor of
the doctrine, but 1 contended that that was the
cocci of tbe act. My opjoncnt denounced me
as being a Southern Caihuun. man, aud one who
took the extreme Sou hern ground. I was so
represented, aa I understood,- by my opponent,
and also by the distinguished Senator from my
district. ; i
Mr. Walbrilge, another Democratic member
from Michigan, after being catechised, made an
awer:
WI had the pleasure, sir, of luteniug to an elab
orate speech made by one of the distinguished
Senators from my tate. during the canvas of
1864, in which he discussed at length tbe princi
ples of tbe Kansas Nebraska law and the reasons
which induoed him to give it his snppost. He
took the ground then that it was the best law for
freedom that bad ever been passed ; and in sup
port of that opinktn,mong other arguments used
by hirorwaa this, that by the Missouri Compromise
slavery was prohibited in all the Louisana pur
chase north of 36 degrees 80 minutes,by positive
enactment, and by implication was therefore per
mitted south of this hue ; and that by the Kansas
Nebraska law repealing that compromise, Con
gress was left at liberty to prohibit slavery in; all
the Territories either North or South of that line,
which power Congress had conferred upon the
people of Kansas aud Nebraska, and, without
agitatioB upon the rubject slavery could not exist
there. This view of the subject was' taken by all
the Democratic speakers' to whom I listened du
ring the canvass of that year in my district, nud
was, I lelieve, the general sentiment of the press."
' Mr. Nichols, also of Michigan, a Democratic
member of the last ' Congress, stated that he was
opposed at the last election by another Democrat,
because he (Nichols) avowed himself against squat
ter sovereignty. He further added :
"But there were other position taken by the
Nebraska Democrat who was opposed to me, that
further illustrate the doctrine of squatter sover
eignty, or tbe principles of tbe Nebraska bill as
understood by the Democracy of the District; I
mean tbe Democracy within tbe organization, for
a majority of the Democracy of the district have
sent me here again to represent them. Sir, my
opponent took the position that the Kansas Ne
baska bill was the best Abolition measure ever
passed by Congress. Laughter. He went to
the people upon that issue, upou that declaration ,
and to illustrate the sincerity of his position, be
said further, and he appealed to those who had
long been identified wuu him Jo political action,
to bear witness, that he had opposed the annexa
tion of Texas, which I had advocated, and fur
ther, he came before tbe people upon a distinct
printed pledge .o vote against the incorporation
of slave Territory nto fhe Union under any and
all circumstances ; and that is squatter sovereign
ty and the Kansas-Nebraska' bill a construed by
th(e of the Democratic party in my district whw
attempted to defeat me for mv vote against that
bill'
. Mr. Campbell, of OWo, also gave his experi
ence during the late canvass ; he said : :
J believe the position assumed by the Demo
cratic canliiLt w, that by the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise nothing was lout to free
dom, because, undT the provisions of the bill,
slavery could not enter int4 the Territories. I
recollect more distinctly si discussion which I
had with the honorable Senator from my State,
(Mr. Fugh) in which the honorable Senator took
the ground of the Nich olson letter, that slavery
could not exist anywhere without positive enact
ment : that as there was no positive law creating
darery in the Territories of Kan tas and Nebras
ka, slavery could not, tinder the provisions of
that bill, exist there. I had the pleasure, too, of
making address in every district in the State
of Michigan, behind the distinguished Senator.
I have iu my pcasession his speeches, as report
ed at the time, in which he took the ground of
thefNkbolson letter, claimins, in thooe speeches.
Ahat if a idavehokhr, under the provision of the
Kansas-Nebraska act, take his slave property a
Vrosa the line into Kansas, the shackles fall from
himahc moment he crosses that line, aud the
slave stands there a free aa his master."
We have no comment to make upon tjieso de
velopment. T It is not our purpose to explain
ind reconcile loeofoco discrepancies. :

We much prefer to hear what Democrats them'
elves have to say upon the strange exposi
ions, and we therefor give tbe comment of th
Charleston Mercury upon thi debate.
"Amid the chaos which prevails ia the House
of Representative at Washington, there has at
limes broken unexpected light upon the political
movements iu the country, and we have had
some rare exposures of party principles and tac
tics. . Indeed, we might also parda the wrang
lings in the House, in consideration c f the bit of
history which is furnished iu the extracts'frora
the debates, which we make to-day, a-d to which
we invite the "tteutiun of the State iu geueral,
and of our National Democrats) who flk so
warmly of their Northeru alliei,' And of the Gu
cinnati Convention, iu particular! ,
.It seems that Mr. C x, a member frrn Ken
tucky, was cruel enough to compel . Northern
Democrats to, the coKfe.ion, upoii the Nebraska
Kansas bill, and, the principles' upon which it
was defended at the North. He calls up Demo
cratic i (embers from Michigan. anl inches them

grounds of ' popular sovereignty," not as h
measure of justice, and a qiuetu, tv s-Iavery agi

ster returns with anxiety to that Senate ' which
so often hung with admiration upon his lips, and
wa'ks by night an unseen guardian along . the
ramparts of the Capitol. Of what he was, and

severity to his aspect, which added not a little
to the desolating force of his invective and the
withering powejij of Irs sarcasm wheu compelled
to put ou the panoply of forensic or parliamen

and reft ri ed toby Mr. Webster in a charmir g note
to Mr. Bush, in whicli he contrasts the superior

His colloquial powers were, J think, quite
eqhal to his parliamentary and forsenic ta
lent. He had something instructive or in
genious to say on the most familiar occasi
on.' Iu his playful mood he was hot afraid
to trifle ; but he never prosed, never indul
ged in common place, .never dogmatized, - was
never affected. His range of information was so
vast, his observation so acute and. accurate, his
ract iri separating the important from the unes
sential so nice, his memory so retentive, bis com
mand of language so.great, that his common table-talk,
if taken down from his lips, would have
4ood the test of publication. He had a keen
.-cuse of the ludicrous, and repeated or listened
toa humorous anecdote with infiuite lee. He
narrated with unsurpassed clearness, brevity and
rrace-fno tedious unnecessary detail to spin out
tlie story the fault of the most professed roam
wa-but its main points set each in its place,
so as often to make a little dinner-table epic, but
ill natitnlly and without effort, He delighted
in anecdotes of eminent tnsn, especially of etnir
lent Americans, and hi memory was stored
with tliem.
He would briefly discuss a question in natural
! istory, relative, for instance, to climate, or the
rices and habits afHV breeds of the different
doniestic auinialH or the various feind of our oar
live game, tor -he knew'ths secrets of the forest,
fie lelighted to treat a tomic drawn from life,
manners and great indaatrial pursuits of life; and
iic dil it wkb such spirit and rigiiiality as to
thnw a charm around subjects which jn common'
hands are trivial and uninviting. Nor were the
stores of our literature iess at his command.: He
had such acquaintance with the great writers of
ur language, especially tho historians and. poets,

i'irs nbt fond, of the technical language of meta-

- ith its most formidable problems, - Dr, Jobn-
n wss wont to say of Burke that a stranger,
who should chance to meet him under a shed, in j
a shower of ruin," would say. " This was an ex- !
traonliuary roaa." A stranger, who did not j
knows Mr. Webster, -.might have- passed a day
with him in his seasons of relaxation without de
tecting tbe jurist or the statesman, but he could
pot have passed half an hour with him without
eomlrig to the conclttaion that he was one of the
best inforrrred of men. His personal appearance
contributed, to th attraction of hjs social inter
miirse. Hi cotintennnce, frame, expression, and
presence arrested and fised attention. You could
not pass him unnoticed in a crowd,' nor fail to
see in bus a man of hihmrk ad character.

vate; Notwithstanding Jus i noble ; stature ana
athletic deportment iu after life, he wad in child
hood frail and, tender. In au autobiographical
sketch taken down from hi .dictation,' he says:
" I was a weak and ailing child and sufiere 1 from
almost every disease that flesh is hvis to." "1
was not able to work on the fann." This it was
which determined i bis lather, though in . strait
ened circumstances, to make the effort to send
Daniel to college, because, as some said, "lie was
not fit for any thing else' His brother Joe, -tlie
Wit or the family,.' remarked that " u was ne
cessary to send Dan to school to make him equal
to the rest of the boys."
Let me not conclude my friends, without
speaking of a still more endearing akpect of Mr.
Webster's character, I meauj the warmth and
strength of his kfndlw natural 'affections.. The
gre&t sympathies of ; a true 'generous spirit -we" e
as .strongly developed in him as the muscular
powers o! ins frame or the capacity t fns might v
intellect. ; In all the gentle humanities of life he
bad the tenderness of a woman. . He honored ms
parents, he loved brother andgtter and wife aud
child, he-brishedfrieudand: neighbor, ti;e eom
pauious'of boyhood, townsman, aged schoolmas
ter, humble dependent, faithfal servant, and cul
tivated all the other kindly instinct, if ' others
there be, with the same steadiness, Warmth and
energy of soul with which he pursued the great
secular objects of life. Mere icial complacency
may have a selfish basis, but Mr. Webster's heart
was full of pure disinterested love. Keligions
conviction is an act of the uuderstiudins. but he
j bowed to the infinite with the subrrissiveiiess of
a child. - - j
: With what tenderness ! he comtem plated the
place of his birth : ho fondly he pointed to the
site of the humble cottage where he first drew the
breath of life-; how he valued the paternal trees
that shaded it ; how his heart melted through
life at the thought of tbe sacrifices made by l is
aged parent the hard working veteran of two
wars to procure him an education ; how he him
self toiled to Becure that advantage to his older
brother ; how he cherished the foiid sympatires
of husband and fatber; how he sorrowed over t!io
departed ; how he planted his grief, if I may say
so, in the soil of 'Marshfield, in detiumntisig the
trees by the names of his beloved sou and d.iuiih-
ter; how beautiful the dedications in w Iiich he hah
i consigned his friendships and his loves to iminof-
! tality,how sublime and touching -the "pithos of
'. big W farewells, how saintlike the meditations
