In speech of Mr.. Davidson delivered
in Congress and published in the "weekly
Advocate January 18th 1857, we find the
following strong aud decided language in
favor of the great doctrines so ably edvo

Well said aud every Duelas man win
stand by and maintain this doctrine. There
is where they do stand. So much for the
curb, hope II does not pinch and row let
us apply the side lines.
In the same speech. in coloquy with
Mr.. Marshall ofKy., the following passage
occurs.
"Mr. II. MARSHALL desire again 60 say,
that II there be any testimony from North
ern democrats against Equatter Sovereign
ty should like to see II produced.
Mr., Davidson--I am going TO show by a
Know Nothing that squatter Sovereignty
is better than leaving the question to be
settled by Congress. (Mr. d. here read
the remarks Of Mr.. Ready Of Tennessee,
Ia favor Of the Nebraska BILL Now then
appeal TO the gentleman from Tennessee

BETTER FOR tn. soprs than 10 isays ne mat
tsr 70 Congress, as Mr.. Fillmore would have
done.
Mr. Ready hope the gentleman from
Louisiana will do Mr.. Ready of Tennessee
the justice TO say that, In the speech TO
which he referred, the main body Of the
argument was to show that the Kansas aud
Nebraska bill did not contain the doctrine
Of Equatter Sovereignty.
Mr.. Davidson That IL whatJ was about
to say but desired 60 bring good Know

NJ. Editor IL hav'nt word 60 say. the
side lines are now on and there they will
stay. The cold Horse" insy rear and turn
and twist and caper ne he will, but they
are worse than the SPAWN and string halt,
and he may now go out to Craze with
safety 10 himself and without uueasiness
to his keepers. His racing days are over
aud his baekers had better pay forfeit in
the present stake [; take him off the turf
and send for Barton simms to recuperate
him for other service.
