u LAST winter Douglas tried bard to regain
his standing with the Southern Il democratic :"
nsbobs. He got down on bis belly and cat dirt.
he svowed that he be1iercd in the Dsed Scott
decision, md conceded that alare breeder
could copssitutionally take s!ares into the Ter
ritories he rcpudiated his great principle " Of
Squatter Sovereignty, and declared rs follows !:
"1 do not hold :hat aquattcr sovereignty is
superior to the Constitution. I hold that no
s1eh thing a. toDtreiga pour attached to a Ter
sitory s1ksIe Territory. hold that Terrific
n possesses whateser power it derives from the
oouz1itution under tie organic aa, and no more.
hold thst all the power 1srritoriat Ltgisla-
turs possesses ia derived from the Constitution
and its amendments, under the act Of Coagress.' 81
This language WAS deliberately uttered in the
q. S. Senate last February. If Douglas mas
righ. when he affirmed that "no such thing as
sovereign power attached to a Territory" then
be il wrope now. when he declnres that Terri
tories possess Us much sovereign authority as
States. What explanation has the Tina to Of.
fert Perhaps it is beneath its dignity to regard
consistency; crit may claim that its patron
saint has prescriptire right to be on all sides
Of my issue, according MS it may serss his im-
mediate necessities.
