second repudiating squatter sovereignty and Con-
gressional intervention and the third that il is
tue duty Of the Federal Government to protect all
species Of property in the Territories, the high
Seas, or any other place over which it has iuris-
diction. They are the southern ultimatum, and
indeed, embrace the principles of the Senate eau
