in the views expressed -
1t is not our province to interfere in local

but we take this occasion to say, in general
terms. that the North is constant loser, as
she always has been, by too frequent change

The New HosPITAL.-The committee on
public charitable institutions in their report in
favor of suspending operations upon the new
insane asylum at Northampton, first consid-
ering whether there is any demand for a third
asylum. They say that year before last there
were 532 persons in the Worcester asylum,
but last year only 1886. The number should
be at least 400 before a new one is provided.
The Taunton Asylum will accommodate 400 !;
it has now only 262. Thirty six rooms have
not yet been occupied, and the number is
daily decreasing. Boston has determined to
remove her insane to her own hospitals, and
this will make more room, and if need BE-, pa
tients which are now in the Worcester and
Taunton hospitals, can be dismissed. The
committee further state that insanity is on the
decline, from various causes, which, however
are not specified.
They next consider the matter Of expense
to the State. The appropriation was $780,
000, and the cost will be $3.50, 900. Allow
ing the number of patients to be 250, this ill
be at simple interest sixty dollars year for
each person over and above the expense of his
support. None Of the scrip authorized by the
act of 1866 has been disposed Of and $40 1000
of the Taunton scrip is still on hand. Where
then is the money to come from to build the
hospital For these reasons, the committee
came to the conclusion that the work ought to
be discontinued.

squatler Sovereignty Diaowaea.

At the time of the passage of the Kanzas-
Nebraska bill. the great argument made use
of, to induce aequiescence in its provisions, in
repeating the Missouri prohibition, was that
it instated the squatters, or actual settlers
of the territory, into full possession OF. sover-
eign power therein over the shaping of their
own " institutions. and secured the rieht of
admission into the Union with such consti-
futon as might ta framed by themselves in
their own time and mode, without dictation
from any quarter, subject only to the condi-
tion that it be republican " in its FORM
Well, the people of Kanzas, having proceeded
in the exercise of their "soverign" right,
without conflicting in any degree with the
requirements of the act organizing the terri
tory, storm of objection is raised against
their proceedings. by the slave power and its
ninions, because, forsooth, the result Of the
discrimination of the squatters' ON the slav-
erv matter, has been age-se To the expecta-
tons and hopes of the originators of the Ne
braska bill.
Accordingly, to prepare their followers for
the change of policy consequent upon repu-
diation of their former professions upon the
territorial matter, new and different con-
shuction has been put upon the ''squatter SOW
ereignty' doctrine, by the authors of the Ne
braska outrage They now tell US, speaking
through Mr.. Douglas, in his voluminous re-
port in the Senate. on Kanzas affairs. 'ths
Sovereignty of territory remains tn abey.
