Squatter Sovereignty.

A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta
thus forcibly illustrates the practical workings
of this device of the Douglas faction to rob the
South of her territorial rights:
1t is stranger still that any Southern man
can be found to defend his doctrine of Squatter
Sovereignty, in defiance OF the decision of the
Supreme Court. Carry this creed into prac-
tice, and see how it operates. My farm is in
Oldham county. KY; the Ohio river .sepa-
rates it from Indiana. and my neighbors on
the river in Kentucky have sons opposite in
Indiana we have friends on the river who
also have sons. None of us are able to give
one hundred dollars per acre (the current rate
here) for land on which to settle our children.
They must emigrate to tind cheap lands. The
young men in Kentucky and Indiana have
been friends from childhood. They have
PLAYED together-hunted and fished together,
gone to school, to parties and to church to-
gether, and now they desire to emigrate
together. The Indiana young men receive
from their fathers, cattle, horses, money and
other property. In Kentucky we give our
sons money, horses, cattle, and few negroes.
All these Young men start for a new home in
the Territories together, intending to settle in
the same neighborhood. When they reach
the border they are met by the Squatters,
who NAV or may not own foot of the soil
and in another year may live elsewhere.
The Young men from Indiana are allowed
to enter the Territory. The Kentnckians
are refused. They ask the reason. The re-
ply is, YOU own negroes and the Squatters
have passed laws excluding them. You have
lust admitted the sons Of Indiana. Does not
Kentucky own the Territories as much as
Indiana? Yes. Does not the Constitution
give us the right to come here and settle
Yes. Has not the Supreme Court decided
our right to be the same as yours to settle
here with our slaves Yes. But we are
superior to the Constitution and the Supreme
Court, and we have passed laws excluding
you and your slaves, and we intend to enforce
them-so you may go back and settle among
your slave-driying friends. This is revolu-
ton, and can any but demagogues be found in
the South to advocate it?
Is it not in effect as ruinous to the South
as the doctrines of Seward and Lincoln II
the South submit to it, there will never be
another slave State. The first ssttlers in
Territories never own slaves-these, with the
aid Of Emigration Abolition Societies in New
England, will forever exclude slavery.
The aim is to confine slavery to its present
limits. If this is done all can see that the
time will come when there will not be land
enough for the slaves, much less the white
people. When that arrives, it needs no pen
of mine to predict the disastrous results.

of Hayti, or st. Domingo, of free colored
people from this State, at first commenced on
small scale and with irreguarity, has as.
snmed an unexpected magnitude since Presi-

known to the black people of this country
the truthfulness of its promises and the sin
cerity of its desire to give every facility to
the emigrant, who, in return, carries to Hayti
his labor and capital, his Industrious habits
and respect for the laws, acquired by his
constant contact with the white people OF
the South, in word, his "civilization,' SO

"The Messrs. Winans are now making
their arrangements to begin at an early day
the construction of another steamer after the
