soUATTnR SOVEREIGNTY.

The great fraud 10 the argument for the Nebraska
bill consists in the preense that it gives the people
Of the territories the right 10 establish or exclude
Slavery And it is asked, would you prohibit the PEG.
pie from determining for themselves what their nsttu-
tons shal be This is the trap which it is expected
will catch Northern support, or excuse It When it IS
obtaiued.
Now the fact il, it is denied by the Southern men
that the Territorial Legislature has any authority I'M
der tho Constitution TO exclude Slavery They also
hold the doctrine that the Constitution carries and pro-
tecs slavery over all the territories where il is not
excluded b. existing prohibition so that when the
bill becomes law tie shareholders contend that they
nay tske their slaves into Nebraska and Kansas in
spite Of territorial prohiotionand they intend 10 do
r.
Bur the bin OF Douglas does not allow Of prohibition
by The people. Tie question rests with the Governor
and the Judges and they are appointed BY the Presi.
dent. and either the Governor Or the Judges may
render nugaOry arg 4w the subject which tie in
hebtants nay pass tie Governor by bis veto and the
Judges by the egerdeman Of COnsdtu ioaa interpre-
tation.
The Netrsska ill., as it sands to-day and as it will
pass the Senate is in utter defiance OF the rights Of
the people to estob isb ther own Institutions Ii is
BILL and It ought TO be entitled to repeal Freedom
and establish Slavery whether the people OF the terri
tory consent not Yet notwithstanding this p,lpa-
bic fact it is defended OF tie ground that the Slavery
question is transfer ed By il 10 he decision Of the peo
pei
