Squatter Sovereignty.

The Washington Union. is furious on
squatter Sovereignty. In that paper OI
the 7lb, we find an article The Question
# Sovereignty in the Territories COM
mencing:
'0ne Of the great merits Of the Dred
Scott decision is the total extinguisbmeut
it gives to the dogma of Squatter Sovsr.
eighty in the Territories It utterly neg
stlyes the idea that there is any original
Jurisdiction or legislative authority in the
Territory, and asserts that all author,
ly therein is derivatiVe, coming from with
out, and not inherent 10 its inhabi-
tants or tribunals. Its whole theory in
regard to authority in the Territories is,
what Congress cannot do with respect TO
them therefore their own tribunal. which
are the mere agents and creatures, cannot
do; that the supreme ultimate authority
OF the Territories resides outside Of them
and not Within. Thus the Supreme
Court takes direct issue with the advo-
Gates of the Squatter Sovereignty doctrine
that the prime ultimate source Of autbori-
ty in the Territories is in the people Vith-
in, and not in the United States, NTH
out"
The true idea ofsquatter sovereignty,
says the Union, is, that sovereignty is an
attribute sf the nation and not of the in>
dividual, and that each individual, and
that each individual person is an integral
participant Of that sovereignty only as a
member ofMe nationality As for the
idsa of Squatter sovereignty prevalent
among radical politicians, the UniOn pro.
uounces It Red Republican, and declares
its source to be found:
In the Red Republican doctrines Of ab-
solute individual sovereignty, inherent in
the integer individual, and not dsprivstive
from his nationality. 1t has It's origin in
the same set of doctrines which give the
negro slave the right of running away,
married women the libelty to obey the
alIuremerts Of passional attraction, and
make all government the mere creature
and bauble Of the mob. The dogma Of
squatler sovereignty derives the supreme
ant hority in new Territories from the few
