SPEECHEs.-We have before US two speeches Of ex-
raordinary ablity-in fact the abest speeches made
during the present Congress.
One was delivered by MIR. Senator Clingman of North
Carolina the other by Mr.. Senator Douglas, of Illinois
That we do not agree with Mr.. Douglas position in
gard to the power of Territorial Legislatures, have
already stated more than once but have also stated
our opinion that those who imputed abolition procivi
ties DuugIas did that gentleman serious injustice
and his late speech proves that without peradventure
Mr.. Cingman's speech is striking production. We
DO not absolutely agree with all of it, but all in all it
most mastery vindicaton of the South and the Demo
cratic party.-Daily Journal, 18th uh.
We publish Mr.. Clingman's speech in full il todays

1t is too frequently the case that writers and speakers
to whom habit has amrzed the of certain phrases
expressions take Tor granted that their readers or
hearers equally amarized with such expressions and
with their meaning The phrase which forms the cap
ton of this article will illustrate our meaning.
Politicians talk uently about "Squatter Sovereign
ty,' accusing this that man of being in favor
of Squatter Sovereignty" and therefore wrong and
not to be trusted.
What as Squatter Sovereignty" is question
that we had asked of few days ago by quite in
tegent person. who had failed to get the of the
thing. We will endeavor to explain as clearly we
can what we suppose people when they talk about
" Squatter Sovereignty" Whether the designation is
correct one OR not is than we intend now to
discuss.
We presume that most people know that large por-
ton of the territory of the United States lies beyond
the limits of any organized State ard that of course
the settlers there must depend upon the Constitution and
laws of the Union for government and protection Most
of these outayng settlers are squatters, having pro-
baby gone in advance Of the land survey and the land
Office, and squatted" upon the lands they occupy
their occupation giving them preemption," pre-
emptive rght-that is the first chance to purchase in
preference to all others.
When in any section these settlers become sufficiently
numerous to require definite organization it is
usual to pass bill giving them territorial govern
ment such government vestng in the actual settlers
tain powers necessary for the regulation of their
local affairs but these powers far from sovereign
since the executive and judicial departments filled by
appointment of the Federal Executive These terrific
rial governments erected for the protection of the
persons and property of citizens of any and all the
States of the Union coming to settle on the public do
mnin-not certainly for the purpose of rendering either
more precarious The principle has been adopted and
avowed that the people of any of these territories when
having the requisite population to form State may
apply for admission into the Union, with or without
slavery, as majority of the actual residents may de-
termine
1T commended by the great body Democrats that
the power odecding this question questions of mi
lar character only be exercised by State pre-
lminary to applying for admission State, and that
this admission alone can give validity the State Con-
stitution.
d. persons, Judge Douglas among the rest, it is
commended that the settlers when organized by the
to them of territorial government, may at any time
during their territorial homage, either by unfrcndly
legislation, or the neglect of necessary protection,
decide this question in advance of the formation of
State Constitution, thus claiming for mere territory
a sovereignty which belongs only to State This
claim of sovereignty for the first handful of settlers
squatters the public domain is what has been rather
derisively styled Squatter Sovereignty

State Us Fairly.

We have no idea that the Raleigh Standard would
Intentionally misunderstood misrepresent u.s. and yet
in an article in that paper of the 29th some remarks
would appear to place Us in position which we do not
occupy. In all illusions the agitation arising
out of the ad vaore question: far as change of the
Constitution is concerned have scrupulousy avoided
the impugnment of any persons motives and in our
last article upon that subject have taken the trouble
to state our position in unmstakeabe language leaving
nothing for inference. Of this the Standard is fully
aware and will, trust indeed we feel certain do Us
justice in the premises OF course our views on that
subject are our own, although we share them with so
many others.
We would request another paper, the Greensboough
PATRIOT to state our position fairly and put nothing
our mouths that have not said. We are of age and
can speak for ourselves That paper in its issue of the
9th says: The Wilmington Journal, although admit
ting that our revenue law very unjust says that non
is not the time to alter it On the contrary, the Will
mgton Journal has suggested that the earliest time is
the besthas pointed to obnoxious taxes that the Lgs
ature may and ought to dispense with at its very next
session. enumerang ,ng these the tax upon wages and
salaries.
We do not suppose that either the Standard or PATROL
wish to put us in fa Sc position. We know the Stand
ard too well to dream that it does and we are willing
take it for granted that the Patriot equally ndisposed
to do so.
