given legislature, TO be exercised at her
will, and government OF mixed nature,
n which she has endeavored 70 distinguish
between state and United States' jurisdiction,
anticipating the future erection OF the terri
tory into State'' Chief Justice Marshall,
10 delivering the opinion OF the Court, says:
II Peters 543l-" They do not, however,
participate in political power; they do not
share 10 the government, till Florida shall
become State'', &C.. and again just below:
/" Whichever may be the source whence the
power is derived, the possession OF it is IN
questioned"
This question had not then become poll
tical ssue, on which the existence of great
political party depended. II was argued by
the most eminent lawyers in the land, and
fairly and fully decided by the Court; and
il ID remarkable that ALL the counsel employ
ed in the case, agreed on this point, and in
favor of the absolute power of Congress, and
there was not one dissenting opinion record
ed.
So. then, we have some eminent lawyers
who have "staked their reputation" on this
point we have Supreme Court who have
fully and entirely decided that Congress has
absolute and uncontrolled power over the
territories; and we have Douglas Squatter
Sovereignty Democratic party, who endorse
all the decisions that that Court ever has, or
ever will make. WIDE-AW AXE.

This 10 our cherished article. We are an
out-and- out advocate for the reopening OF the
African Slave Trade; for the reasons that If
we had more negroes, the South could now
and then admit new Slave States, and we
would hear less about Squatter Sovereignty,
and there would be no demand for Congress

great reason why we are for repeating all re.
