HE REPUplATES 1kRh1IUR4AL SUI Ekkiaali. ALSU.
The following extract from Nr. Douglas
letter in reply to Judge Blacks criticism on
bis Harpcr's magazine Essay, puts everything
at sizes and scvens again as regards his views
Of the sovereignty which belongs to the people
Of Territory. In that letter he says:
1T have never said Or thought that Territories
were sovereign political oomtnuntties limited
sorereisnues like the States OF tfas Cnfon."
And again, in colloquy with Nr. Clay, Of
Alabama, in the Senate, February Esd, 1859,
be was etll more explicit in denying sovcr-
eighty to the Territories:
"I~9il answer the Eenators question. F1rst-I do

1852, part =, page 1e4d-
It will be noticed, also. that in these re-
marks, Mr.. Douglas supplied 4 link hitherto
missing in the chain which binds him to the
Dred Scott decision. It is this: the Supreme
Court say TINT whereas Congress cannot pro-
hibit slavery in the Territory, it cannot dele
gate such power to Territorial Legislature.
ltr. Douglas steps in ut this point and sars
that ALL the powers vested In Territory are
derived through the act Of Congress organiz-
ing it. They have no powers tha. are not 70
derived. Hence if Congress cannot::.r'.tlibit
slavery in Territory, neither can sac: ne eeepie
Of the Territory do 50 by any means T1.sevce.
