Mr. Buchanan and Squatter SOver
eighty.

The Richmond Enquirer undertakes to argue
Mr. Buchanan out Of an approval the despic-
able and dangerous doctrine of squatter Sover-
eighty. But it frankly confesses its regret that
Mr.. Buchanan did not either employ more pre-
else language.or else conine himself to the liter
al text Of the Cincinnati Platform. in defining
his position in respect to Squaiter Sovereignty"
1t further says:
ave declare moreover, that the Democratic can
dda,e did profess any such pernieions heresy, ,'s
paper would be prompt and oui-spoken IN fePu"'a
fing the position Our detestatien of the dogma o.
Sonatter Sovereignty has not been moderated by re-
Election and experience. We hold 1t now as we have
ever held it, TO be repugnant to the spirit oil our gov
eminent 10 be In papable conflict with the constn-
ton and inimoa to the rights and interests Of the
Sou,h and we are prepared now and at all times to
denounce and repudiate II, no matter by what mpo-
sing authority itmay be promulgated And SUCH too,
is the universal sentiment OF the Democracy OF the
South"
What Mr.. Buchanan said was that the Kansas
bill had determined that the people of "a Terri
tory. like those Of State, shall decide for them-
selves whether slavery shall or shall not exist
within its limits" The distinction between a
Territory and State Is broad and complete. He
evidently refers to the Territory.not as being in
its transition state, not rs about to become n
State, but to it in its Territorial condition. He
is speaking Of the provision made for its self gov
eminent ehiie Territory and as Territory
The Enquirer's arguments ingenious, but this
construction Of Mr.. Buchanan's language is too
obvious to admit of doubt. Gen. Cass himself
never asserted the doctrine of Squatter Sovereign
ty more distinctly uDreservedly than 1t is
lone in this single sentence by Mr.. Buchanan.
Couple this language with the declaration no
made in regard to California, that slavery was
prohibited there by the cid Mexican law and
could not be established, except "by the enact
men, Of some competent legislative authority
and you have an exposition of the constitutional
law of slavery not little better than that o.
