tho State Rishts party disputes and discrcdlts by ire
sistible argument and decisive authority.
1t is not necessary that we should refute the doc
trine of s7udttrr sorrrcigsty, which General Caas here
asserts with more precision of language and dogma
t;sm of temper than no has heretofore vcnturcd to
display. 1t is sufficient that the Democracy OF the
South r~epudiatc it with indignant and unanimous pro-
test. Indeed wo may safely affirm that thore ia no
person Of ordinary intelligence, md no paper
OF respectable position, OF any party, in the
South, that does not reject the dosmn of ~squattcr
sovereignty as more absurd aud scarcely less mischic-
ycus than tho Wilmot Proviso. The democracy Of
this State arc OIL record against it. In February of

proposition more plain and obvious than the one IN
nounced in tbi. resolution. l cannot comprehend how
any gentleman can deny a power to Congress, aud give
il to that which is but the breath Of it's nostrils"-s
