own way, subject only to the provisions of
the Federal Constitution, with the privi-
lege of admission into the Union when.
ever they have the requisite population
for one Representative in Congress" &c.
1t has been alleged that the above Ian
guage is not sufficiently explicit, as to the
time tChen this rishk may be exercised.
We know of none but political maniac.l
who assume that under the Federal Con
stitution, the people of the organized ter
ritories are soreyeign. Congress, on near
ly every oocasioa, when organizing Terri
tories, has reserved the right Of supsrvis-
ion over Territorial legislation The Su-
preme Court has decided that Congress
has power over the Territorial Govern
ments.
The Tth section was framed with full
knowledge Of these facts. 1t was framed
In accordance with, and not in opposition
to, the rightfm powers of Congress, and
the decisions of the Supreme Court. It
does not, however, follow that Congress
has the right TO destroy the property of a
citizen. recognised by the Constitutions
of all the States as such, when the FEEDER
al Constitution was adopted, and protect
led by one of the provisions of this last
mentioned instrument. The power of
CONGRESS, under the Constitution. must
be construed with reference to the intent
of those who framed it. 1t was not intend
ed that Congress should decide that what
was property in twelve Of the thirteen
States in 1887 should be declared not to
be property in the Territories Keeping
these points in view, plain reading of the
7th section will decide finze the ,ohen the
citizens of the Territories have the right
to regulate the question OF slavery It is
tcjirz, they frame their olcn constitution
anil lars.
They can pass aao ia,os that are bind
ing, as against the will of Congress, whilst
they remain Territories. They can frame
a constitution under the permission Of
Congress, and enact laws prospec ctiyely to
carry that constitution into effect, and
when Congress shall have admitted the
Territory as a State with their constitu-
the constitution. and all iaws passed to
carry it into effect are operative. No far
construction of the 7th section can be
given, which will sanction the idea that
any laws enacted by Territorial Legis-
lature, and 7,yior to the formation OF
constitution viii be valid in fixing the
question of slavery. CONSTITUTION AND
laws" and not constitution OR laws. is
the phraseology Of the 9TH section. This
is the reading and this a0Gs fhe meaning
OF that section, its obvious and it's actual
meaning. In asserting this we assert
nothing that ace do not personally knoac
We submit to the country that there is
no ''Squatter Sovereignty in the Ameri-
can-none whatever; and we may be al
lowed to add, that eren were there no diff
ference between the Enquirer's Kansas
platform, and the American platform than
that which results from the use of the
word ''PEoPLE' in the former, and the
words ''citi7eus OF the United States" in
the latter, that difference is wide one,
Notwithstanding the Enquirer's opinion
is, that the meaning of the two is ''iden-
ttcoL."

The Sioux War ended---Gen. Harney

of nearly one year from this port Capt.

The Grey Ssa Sing the gratifying
intelligence that our difficulties With the
Sioux have been adjusted According to
the stipulations of the Council held in March
lat, by Gen Harvey, all the prisoners and
stolen property in the possession of these
Indians, were to be given upin seventy five
days from date of the Council
On the 18th of May, some seven hun

ceremony gave up twelve prisoners and

to the demands of our government in fu-

This closes the active operations of the
Sioux campaign, and in connection with
this subject, ii isproper to mention that great
praise is due to Gen, Harvey, for the judi

pursued in conducting this expedition

Capt RadSord says that his crew were on
very short allowance for a long time, while
beyond the reach of civilization having
had to live on wolves, and anything else
they could get to sustain life He only
took provisions for two months cruise and
was absent eight months which accounts for
the provisions falling short.
