sQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY.

(Tae following extract from Il speech by
this talented democrat in Congress, sweeps
away utterly the deceptive pretext that the
Nebraska bill gives popular sovereignty 10
the people of the tcrritorics.)
81 object again to this act, that in violation
of lis expressed intent, it does 'Iegislate sla-
very" into these Territories. They give us,
as they say, tabaia rasa, Territory with
out law upon the subject Of slavery. What
is then the condition OF the southern cmgrant
who takes his slaves there? Exactly the con-
diton of the first Spaniard who hoated his
slave, upon the free waters ofthc Mississippi
or Kansas. The master and bondsnan arc
left alone to wrest!e Tor supremacy. Weknow
what the result OF that contest must be.
II the slave appeal to the courts, he ismct by
|judges-not Of the people, but independent OF
them-who claim for the southern planter
with his slaves the same rights as ior the
northern farmer with his horses. L, appeal
ing to this act organizing the Territory,
he is met by the declaration that BY its terms
and expressed intention, it is open to the
Oouti anu -'ulln, ~ oiaNci VI liccuoul, uHtli
the Legislature establish one or the other,
what is he to answers If he appeal to the
great common-aw doctrine, that 10 man can
be held in bondage but by virtue of statutory
enactment, will he not be answered that til,
common-law doctrine is not applicable here
that by All act OF Congress, by this Nebraska
and Kansas bill, it is rendered inapplcable
of which the last clause of section lourtee,
will give him proof:
"PrDnidrd 81, That nothing herein con-
tanned shall be construed to revive or put il
force any law or regulation which may have
existed prior to the act of March &, 1920
either protecting, establishing, prohibiting
or abolishing slavery

to 1870, are rcpea led, isnot the common law
prohibiting slavery, where not existing b,

SLAVE LITERATURE.

The discourse Of Frederick Douglass before
the literary societies of the Western Reserve
College, is an era in literature of SO much I'M
portanre that we cannot forbear copying the
passage which follows, and which is equally
modest and impressive, The discourse was
on the unity Of the hum.n race in contradis-
tinction from the idea that there was several
creations answering to the various races. After
the conciuslon OF his argument Mr., Douglas
said -
But, gentlemen the time fails me- and [
must bring these remarks to close. My ar
gumeut has swelied beyond its appointed
measure. What intended to make special,
has become, in its progress, somewhat general
| meant to speak here to-day, for the lonely
and the despised ones, with whom Twas era
died and with whom have suffered and now,
gentlemen, in conclusion, what fall this rea-
soning be unsound! What if the negro may
not be able to prove his relationship to Nubi-
ans Abysinians and Egyptians? What il in
genious men are able to find PLAUSIBLE objec-
tiuns to all arguments maintaining the oneness
of the human racel WHAT after alt, ii they

MISSOURI ELECTION.

Unexpectedly to us, and TO the public, goner-
ally, we presume, the election in Missouri has
resulted in the defeat of Mr.. Benton, and the
loss of his place as IA Representative Congress,
This was unqucstiona5ly the work of the Slave
power in revenge for Mr. Bcnton's noble stand
against the Nebraska SN;ndle, and the shame
less schemes Of the Slaveocracy for the extension
and pcrpetuaton of their wicked institution.
We are curious to see what the Wigs Of TIC
North, with their present professions, will say
TO this; for to their own party in that State
belongs the exclusive glory of defeating that
ilustrious statesman, and filing his place with
q miserable shutting tool By the name Of Ken
net, who has no reputation either for talent or
political honesty. The Whole South, as well
they may, will hail tic defeat of so fearless and
formidable an opponent as Colonel Benton, as
an important triumph. Will the Wings Of the
North rejoice with them We hope not-on the
contrary, we hope they will have the manlncss
to avow their synpathies to be with the Demo-
Gratis Of that State, who have almost to a man
taken stand with their idolized leader against
the extension Of Slavery, whether by the Ne
hraska Bill, the Gadsdens purchase, or other
wsn.
But Thomas IT, Benton is not a man to he
killed off so easily by tie Slavery lrorogandit
and the pgmy politicians, who have banded to-
gether to hunt him down. lie is TO be cand.
date for his old place in the Senate. And if,
by the same corrupt instrumentalitics, he is
defeated there also, we sincerely hope the rco-
pie OF the free States viii take him UP and
make him President; for with his great exr.-
rience, acknowledged political integrity, and
Enown determination to preserve the Contitu-
tion IRON the desecrtt.ng grasp of the Slavery
propogandists, and make it what it was intended
to be, and in fact is--an Anti-Slavery instru-
ment--with these, and lis position in South
ern State, which would give him advantages
over any northern candidate, VIC know of no
living statesman to whom, the honest masses of
the country, who would not see our common
liberties stranglcd and destroyed by the evil in
huonces now in the ascendant in our National
Councils, can look with more hope as their stand
ard bearer in 1856, than Thomas II. Benton.
And so much impressed are we wit, this con-
vletion, that, although Mr. Benton may not
quite come up to our views on the doctrines of
immediate emancipation, We yet should, wec
we, In the absence of any Convention, called on
to-day to present national ticket for tho next
