SQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY AND NOR
@ MONISM.


We have often been amused, but not surprised
at the squirmings shiftings and turuings of the
Negro breeding party, in their ingenious attempts
TO clothe their f%avorito hobby of "Squstter Sover-
eighty" with such sugar coating, as would enable
the people of the free States to gulp it down, and
enable the Southern man to invade the free soil of.
kansas and other territories, with his hundred hu-
man cAaaels as attaches to his domestic or house
hold goods, to the everlasting injury of freemeu's
rights. The PHI with its sugar coating has been
swallowed by the party North, under the prescrip-
ton Of Drs. Cass, Douglass and Buchanan, and
now that Buchanan and Cass have secured to
themselves, all they wanted, still the people-the
deIuded party are finding that their gdllability has
strongly charged their stomachs with what was in

We invite the attention Of all honestly inclined
persons to the following article: m
An English clergyman, who left England to b
DIN the Mormons, returned to London in Septem- 4

opinion of the saints found in the vicinity Of the :
