According to Mr.. Everett, in his recent
grafton, Mr.. Webster was also believer in
the irrepressible conflict between Freedom
and Slavery, the first annunciation Of which
has been attributed to Mr.. Seward. We
quote:
"He Mr.. Websterl not only confidently
anticipated what the lapse of seven years
since bis decease has witnessed and is wit
Messing, that the newly acquired and newly
organized Territories of the Union would
grow up into Free States; but, in common
with all or nearly all the statesmen of the
last generation, he believed that Free Labor
would ultimately prevail throughout the
country. He thought he saw that, in the
operation Of the Same causes which have
produced this result in the Middle and East
ern States, it was visibly taking place in the
States north Of the cotton growing region
and he inclined TO the opinion that there, also,
under the influence of physical and economi-
"a! causes, Free Labor would eventually be
found more productive, and would therefore
be ultimately established"

Dr. era ham, the Homicide, hIica
In New Orleans.
1t appears bya despatch from New orleans
that on Monday night week political quar-
rel occurred in that city between DR.. Robert
M. Graham and Ernest Tollstane, in which
nistols were used, and DR.. Graham was
killed.
The telegraphic dispatch is very meagre,
barely stating the fact, without any details
showing the merits of the dispute. In any
event, DIR. Graham falls = victim to the code
of violence which seems to have governed
his own conduct, as this is, probably, the
same DIR. Graham who, about FIVE years ago,
killed Col. Loring at the St. Nicholas Hotel
in New York city. The affair created great
excitement at the time, and the circumstan-
ces are too fresh in public recollection to re-
quire repetition. The doctor was tried be-
fore Judge Mitchell and sentenced to impris-
onment for two years, but was pardoned af.
ter having served over q year of his time.

History.
The Illinois State Journal says, the doo-
trine Of Squatter Sovereignty, - now adyo-
Gated BY Dongias and his adhsrsnts, was
first preached in an address before the Leg
islature Of tho Northwest Territory, BY Gen.
Arthur St. Clair, the then Governor, = fol-
lows:
ssFor oil internal affairs We have Z COM
plete Legislature Of our own, and they are
no more bound by IN act Of Congress than
they are BY an edict Of the First Consul Of
Frsnce.'
What did the Democrats Of that day think
Of it? Jefferson was President, and james
Madison, the father Of the Constitution, was
his Secretary Of State. When this clause Of
St. Glars speech was shown to jefferson and
his Cabinet, what did they do? They adj
dressed Mr.. st. Clair the following signi6-
cant document:
"SrR: The President observing in an ad-
dress lately delivered by you to the Oonven-
ton at Chilicothe, an intemperanoe and in
deoorum of language towards the Legisla-
ture of the United States, and . disorgani-
zing spirit and tendency Of every evil exam
pie, and grossly violating the rules OF con-
duct enjoined BY your public station, deter
mines that your commission Of Governor OF
the Northwestern Territories shall case on the
receipt Of this notification. am, TO-,
JAMES MADISON.
Arthur Sr. CLAIR, Chilicothe."
Such was Jefferson's and Madison's opin-
ion Of Squatter Sovereignty, and they were
good Democrats.
The second appearance Of this delightful
doctrine over which our Democratic friends
swsgger and boast so much, Was in the Ma
tional Democratic Convention in l848, when
Mr.. w. L. Yancy, of Ala, reported the fol-
lowing resolution:
ssResolved, That the doctrine OF non-i
reference with the property Of any portion
of this confederation in the States or in the
Territories, BY any other than the parties In
terested in them 10 the true Republican doc
trine recognized by this body" Il
/ The vote upon ito adoption WAS yeas So
nays ZIG. The entire North voted agains,
it, and thus the doctrine WAS smphatically
repudiated at the time.
Its third appearance was during the ex.
element of the Wilmot Proviso question
when quite number Of the slave states to
courage and passed resolutions refusing Il
support any man for the Presidency who wa,
in favor Of the Wilmot Proviso. Thereupor
the dough-faces began to Hutter, and sough,
refuge from political death BY lodging thu
question in the celebrated sNicholson letter,
and then preached squatter sovereignty fol-
third time.
