ago we passed some structures on some ex-
pressions of mir. PURDT" Of the Era. la
sosdoing We have reused him and in his
might, he gets of a column and a halt at our
expense, which we would gi-dly publish buI

10 do so. But leaving all else he has ca
word to say about the power OF Congress
over the Territories" He says. "CongresS
acts in accordance with delegated powers"
and that the pow er of covering the Terri
tories was never delegated to Congress. and
that Congress is windy without power; then
in another place he says that 'Jrrcedent has
established the law that Congress can Of
gan re a Government for a Territory" This
is more than can be said for squatter sever
eisHty. But VIVA. does he 60 with Article
4lh, Sec. 5, Of the Constitution the Con
gress shall haze the power 10 dispose oil and
make all needtul rules and regulations re-
spectiny the Territory or other properly,

does sMr. PURDY' DO with thist But even
passing this, Congress with the APPRECIATION
Of the people has legis!uted for the Terri
tories. The greatest men of Our i,aticn al
agreed upon this subject. Even Thomas

recommended a direct law giving Congress
the plain right. Mr.. PURIFY goes on to ssv
the fact that the Constitution of the United
States guarantees the right of properly IN
Slaves is as plain as A. b. c. This we
charge him to sns,ain BY any direct evidence.
he says himself that Slavery is the creation
oil municipal law, which is a contradiction
itself. But IF the right is Constitutional,
row we would ask again-:or Mr.. PURIFY
did not get ever this poin;-how can a state
prohibit a citizen OF the United States from
the exercise of lis Constitutional rights!
But is squaiter sovereignty the point in
dispute now III Kansas! Is i've would
ask Mr.. PURpY upon this principle
hat Mr. DOUGLAS and the Republicans
rcrce! He cannot but answer in the ne
estiye. The light of States TO make
,heir own laws, or the right OF the people
of the Territories 10 sanction their laws by
vote upon alrrigh;s common TO citizens Of

1t is not upon this, but upon an old doctrine
