Bell on squatter Sovereignty,
In the Senate, In May 1854. Hon. Jno

Bell spoke as toliows:-
II is very well for the honorable Senator
rom Georgia, Mr.. Tocubs, 10 proclaim
low that he is not leeisaIng for any sec
ion; he is certainly mol gong for The South!
: rhink no Souhsrn man can show that The
south has any particular interest III this
ill, hecanse it is not like the compromise
i 1850; for in New Mexico and Utah you
et the territory stand legally restricted or
barred against slavery as it was by public
aw. When that Territory was brought in
70 the Union, Mr.. Calhoun and some other
honorable Senators contended that the Con-
>litnrIon would operate as repeal OF The
Mexican Law, abolishing slavery, and give
protection TO the Shareholder. Some other
Senators doubted on that point. The hon
orable Senator from Mississippi (Mr.
Brown,) can, perhaps explain the different
doctrines which then were held in the South
on this subject, AT ali events, the compro-
mise acts OF 1850 left the Territory as il
was when annexed, and allowed the people
TO interdict or establish slavery, as they
pleased, arhen they should form a SAFE con-
siliution. That lraS The doctrine Of non-n-
terrention then. What is il in this bill?

condition Of Slave territory as il was when
