Senator Ivcrson, of Georgia, in a
speech at Griffin, Ca, said in sub
stance:
He was once an advocate of the
hcrcsy of squatter sovereignty, but
had rcpcnted of and rccantcd the err
ror. Subsequent investigation had
convinced him that the true theory in
relation to the Territorial Government
of the Union is, that it is both the
power and duty of Congress to pass
laws for the protection of Slavery,
wherever it exists or may exist upon
| the common soil.'
In 1854 for sguatter sovereignty,
and against the power of Congress to
lcgislate upon the subject of slavery
but in 1859, "a believer in that power,
and in the duty of Congress to cxer.
else it. Honorable Senators should
