We answer through the columns of our
psper. as it may probably be of service
TO many of our readers :-
''Gaa persons going from the several
States of the Union into the Territory of
Kansas, stick up fence rail-, fill around
tia few turfs of sod, and call this I'M
prosements, and thus hold claim in
Kansas, when they are actually residents

We would say 10 our friends that the
squatters of Kansas dc not recognize anv
claim, where the claimant IS lloa-resi-
dent of the Territory; and the mere fact
of a person .sstickifg up a fence rail. =,
does not show his intentions 10 improve
claim. TO hold a claim person must
be resident of the r,itefs. and erect
a cabin on the ground he claims, other
wise his claims are not respected.
We clip the above from the Sauatser
Sovereign. Wkydidnet the ediiorand his
friends know that fact last spring /? A

ing Gov. Reeder on the charge of stolid-
ity, afterperpetrating tie following in that
able State paper, the Memorial !" Hear
them bray; 1.-The Courts are the tribu-
mails TO decide this. issue, aud no man,
Governor or private citizen, has a right
to set the laws at defiance, even if uncon-
stitutional and void, until SO declared by
the proper Courts This assemblage OF
asses have, it seems from the above quo,
tatiou, conceived the brilliant idea that
the veto power is to be suspended until
the Ccarts shall decide upon the Coasti-
tutionality and validi.y J OF the acts OF the
Legislature. Tie question might be
pending for years in the Courts before a
judicial decision could be given; and in
the meantime the dear people" might,
by such uncoastitutionalacis, be deprived
oil the dearest rights of freemen !. be-
sides, If the Governor is to wait, before
he vetocs an act, until the Courts decide
it invalid, he might be troubled to find
the Legislative body in session 10 whom
ito return the bill with his objections .
Bnt further, this embodiment OF Legis-
latiye wisdom has made the discovery
that void and unconstitutional aes OF
the Legislature is Law Itwould be dill
ficult TO find sehool-boy ten years old,
who can read and write, TO say nothing of
lawyers, ignorant of the fact that the Ex-
ecuavcs of the federal S.aaes, and Terri
torial governments, respectively, have
ever been accu stoned toyeto bills passed
by their legislatures, upon grounds both
OF expediency and eonstituiionality.

dies have never had read to them for il
is doubtful whether they ever learned 70

The Sovereign remarks
Our citizens have at last opened their
eyes TO their dangerous position, and
have wisely concluded to protect their
property, and their rights, from the en-
rroachments of the hireliags of Greely
d Co. Itis now only necessary for a
man to express himself an Abolitionist,
to insure just and wellapplied castiga-
ton from some Of our citizens We have
too long been run over by these insul-
ting Freesoilers and our negroes have in
too many instances been inticed to rebel
ion, TO allow this state of affairs to last
much longer. Words of caution are
dropped and action, prompt action, SUBJ
stituted. The good work now commen-
ced, we hope viii not be discontinued
until every vestige of Freesoilism is
banished from this portion of the Terri
tory, We cordially endorse thea actions of
our citizens, in every instance where
punishment has been inflicted upon these
Northern hireliBgs, and council them.
to let no favorable opportunity in future,
pass, where we can retalliate upon these
fanatics for their disregard of our con-
stitutional rights.
Greeley, has asserted that Kansas is to
beihe battle ground where the fortunes
of the South are to be, decided. IT'S
here the Abolitionists are to meet us,
and drive us from our homes AMI pos
sessions. Men who have money iBves..
ted in slave property, we are told, must
either leave this Territory, or be robbed
of their possessions by law Such is the
declaration put forth by Greeley. and is
re-echoed by the lesser stars of Aboli-
tionists who now iHfest this country
For our part, we are prepared to meet
the issue, and to use one of the cant
phrases of the day "let the longest pole
knock the Percimmon." Our mode of
warfare is to attack the enemy as soon as
they invade our sell, and not give them
chance TO erect Sevastopol, where it
would be worse than useless to assault
them.
Letus by ridding ourselves Of the small
squad ofthe enemy now on our grounds,
prevent the congregation of a larger
force.
