In a previous Bpeech, made at Norfolk, Mr. Douglas asserted that the Territories "derived their rights from God Alaighiy, and there was no power on earth that could lawfully and justly deprive them of them." the same State and ceunty as himself, hat put this matter in a very clear light.

IT FMDIMC WRIGHT, »» ■g'nig '.£■§ in ranuiiiing lilH question to the peoplo of the Territory, Congress does not authorize the people, but simply recognizes their inherent power to decide for thomsclves whether they will have slaves or not, the act simply- recognizes the so called 'squatter sovereigty,' or the sovereignty of the people irrespective of constitutions, civil or political organizations ; and therefore that any number of people, wherever found, have the right to combine together and do all that may be done by a sovereign State,—the doctrine on which John Brown and his black and white followers aoted in their raid into Virginia." Again on page 374 Mr. Brownson says, "Mr. Douglas is understood to deny this power (of permitting or prohibiting Slavery in a Territory) to Congres-s, and to assert it for the people of the Territoiy, under the head of what is called "Squattor Sovereignty." We know nothing more discreditable to a man who has had the honor to be a Judge even in an inferior Court. The peopls of a Territory have no powers except such as are conferred by Congress in the organic act, and Congress can coufer no power which it does not itself possess. Squatter Sovereignty is a fiction, and a fiction of that ultra Democratic School which justifies John Brown's raid into Virginia,"—and further, on page 375, "The Douglas Democrats arc neither one thing or" another, neither fish, flesh, nor yet good red herring." It involves the error of ftllibuiterism, and if analyzed and reduced to tome degree of oonsistenoy it will be found to be John JJrownutm." We shall subjoin two moro witnesses against the doctrine promulgated by the "Xitte Giant;" one of them Henry Clay (now so much admired and complimented by him,) and the other a certain Stephen Arnold Douglas, United States Senator from Illinois. Said Mr. Cla/, on the 24th of July, 1850, "If in any instance the power to carry Slavery into the Territories is guaranteed you by the Constitution, or is an incidont necessary to the carrying out of any other power that is delegated in the Constitution, I have been unable to perceive it. You can not put your finger on the part of the Constitution which conveys the right or the power to carry slaves from one of the States of the Union to any Territory of the .United States. Nor can I admit fora single moment that there is any separate or several right upon tbo part of the States, or individual members of a State, or any portion of the people of the United States, to carry slaves into the Territories, under the idea that those territories arc held in common between the States. It is a joint property held by a common trustee for the general good, and to be administered by the General Government according to its deliberate judgment of what will best promote the common happiness and prosperity, and do justice to all." And Mr. Stephen Arnold Douglas, in speeches from which we have rcoeutly quoted in these columns, declared, and cannot now dispute the faot, that he had again and again voted for the exercise of the power by Congress "to prohibit Slavery in the Territories whilst they remain such," and that be did this "from the dictates of his own judgment without instructions," bccausc he entertaiiiod "no doubt of his Constitutional power to do so." When thus admitting the power to be in Congress, it could not reside (unles transferred by Congress) in Squatter Sovereigns.On the cognate subject of non-intervention by Congress, the doctrines and acts of Mr. Douglas are equally unsound and delusive. His transfer of the power of settling the exciting question of Slavery in the Territories to the Squatters therein, whilst it involves a cowardly and unfaithful abandonment on the part of Congress, of a high and solemn constitutional duty —to which the collected wisdom of the nation ought to be more competent than a miscellaneous band of irresponsible settlers from all the States and people on earth—it does not work well in praotice, and does not satisfy the South. Such "sovereignty" places it beyond tho power and tbo right of Congress to put a stop to the infamous "domestic institution" of polygamy in Utah. It dispossesses Congress of the power to purge the Territory of the United States from the abominations that pollute the earth and insult Heaven. Such 8 the immediate effect of this boasted 'principle'' of "nou-interventioo." Undoubtedly there is a non-intervention sot open to these objections, but that kind ioes not suit Mr. Douglas, because it affords him no opportunity of flattering and Pawning on his beloved "squatters," which ias been to him throughout hrs career the great instrument of political success. The rue non-intervention was what Mr. Clayon alluded to in the speech from which ve extracted the above. To this non-inr ervention, substantially existing in the Territorial bills for Utah and New Mexico, he whole country and all parties agreed, ind continued religiously to respect from .850 to 1854, when Mr. Douglas drove a lagger "ruthlessly" and "recklessly" thro' lie repose and quiet of the laud.

All styles of Dress Goods of every name. A fine line of French Merinoes, and Delaines, Ac., Ac. Shawls of all descriptions, Cloths of all shades, Trimmings, Ac., for cloaks. It will be observed that in all Mr. Douglas' speeches on this subjeot, he treat* his hearers to mere assertion, to his own unsupported say so. Ho never demonstrates and never meets the objections of his opponents. He is sufficiently practised in speaking to orowds, to delude and deceive them before their own eyes. Supposo some one were to ask him if the Territories are sovereign, and if they are competent to exercise all the powers of self-government, as he says,—how comes it to pass that they neither choose their governors, nor judges, nor attorneys, and that thev have all their legislative expenses paid, their houses of assembly built for them, and every thing elso done, indicating a state of pupilage and political minority ? What would Mr. Douglas answer ? He would evade the question, of oourse. If the question were put to him why are the Territories exempted from taxation like the States, and why are not the people represented by some one who can vote on the floor of the House of Keprcscntatives, and by others who can reflect their "sovereignty" on the floor of tho Senate ? Self-government, without control exteriorly, Is the very definition of sovereignty. Now, Mr. Douglas disdains to have his "squatter sovereigns" get their powers from Congress, and he places the Territories in the same condition towards Congress that the revolted American Colonies took towards the British Government. He claims that all "political power is inherent with the people" (of the Territories), and that "they do not derive their rights from Congress, and that Congress cannot take them away." So far as tho ordinary personal rights secured uuder the Constitution aro concerned, Mr. Douglas is right—for Congress cannot deprive any citizen of them without the commission of crime; but the political right to set up or put down institutions in the Territory of the United States, is quite another thing. Mr. Douglas' Godendowed Squatters cannot be permitted to enter Territory that has cost the United States thousands of lives and millions upon millions of money, and there do as they please. They must go there, if they go at all, subject to the "rules aud regulations" which shall have been imposed by Congress under the literal injunction of the Constitution. If Mr. Douglas' Squatters, acting 011 their own inherent right of self-government, wish to luxuriate in their "Sovereignty," they can perhaps discover some yet unappropriated islands in the South Pacific or Indian Oceans, where no "rules and regulations" of this or any other established Government will disturb their But they have no right to expect to indulge it on the property of the people of the United States, bought with costly money and costlier blood. We claim, then, that the doctrine of Mr. Douglas is disloyal and rebellious, and is not such as a man properly disposed towards his country would be found to preach. Mr. Douglas is sworn to support the Constitution, and for many years he has been welT paid for doing so; il looks very bad to hear him preach sedition and revolution against it. In the early profession of this doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, Mr. Douglas was unwilling 01 uuable to tell where the Territories got the power which he asserted them to possess In 1854, when tho Kansas-Nebraska bill was before the Senate, this doctrine, now so audaciously promulgated by him—was quite meekly proposed. Senator John M Clayton, of Delaware, said on the 20th ol March, 1854, on the subject of allowing "squatter sovereigns" to determine thC question of Slavery in the Territories, ai follows :—"This brings me to the questior of the propriety o£-giving these transient persons, few as we know they must be, the right to deoido this question of Slavery Mr. Calhoun denounced this claim of right in them as a most absurd and moiiMtratu doctrine ; and he was the man who gave this power, when thus oonferred and exer cised, the name of "Squatter Sovereigty.' The Nebraska bill which passed the Sen ate is a bill which expressly confers thai power. The Senator from Michigan (Mr Cass) was right when he rose in his placi immediately after the final vote on that bill, and congratulated the Senate on thC triumph of the doctrines of "Squatter Sov ereignty." I say he was perfectly right It was the triumph of the very dootrim which Mr. Calhoun repudiated in 1848 ant again in 1850, It authorises the men wh( have no interest in the Territory, to .settle the question of Slavery as thoy please not merely to govern themselves, but tC govern in this respect, all who claim in thC Slave Statos, to carry slaves there. This bill is a non-intervention bill only, whet the people of/the Territories shall be read} to form a State Constitution and to comC into thp Union.

A bill for organizing the Territory of Nebraska, substantially and in principle, vholh/ similar to the bills organizing the Territories of Utah and New Mexico, according to the understanding come to in 1850, was introduced into the House of Representatives and passed. It was taken up in the Senate and referred to the Committee of the Territories. With somo amendments a bill was reported by Mr. Douglas, Chairman of the Committee, in conformity with the principles of the settlement of 1850. We showed by the testimony of a principle agent io the matter how all that was changed, nay, rather /jerraied, and how it was that the Compromises both of 1850 and 1820, and the solemn pledges of parties, had been broken and outraged by the scductiou of Senator Douglas from the path of patriotic duty, to the service of his own unhallowed ambition. Wo showed how he had been drawn asido from the position of a national statesman, uuxious to serve his whole country and to keep her peaco, to that of a -pander to the prejudices and passions of a single tectioti. We showed that he gave in to the astounding proposal of Senator Dixon, of Kentucky, to more than unsettle the arrangements of peace and harmony that had been urrived at in 1850, by throwing affairs into a worse condition and greater confusion than ever before in the history of the Nation. We showed that Mr. Douglas'endorsement and adoption of Mr. Dixon's proposal was utterly and totally tectioHal, because Mr. Dixon disclaimed any other motive than a purely tectmnal one for his course. On the 2jUh of January, 1854, on this very point, MV. Dixon said, "Sir, I merely wish to upon the question of slavery (about which in 1850 Mr. Douglas had pledged his determination never to speak again,) I know no Whiggery, and I know no Democracy. I am a pro-slavery man. I am from a slave-holding State. I represent a slave-holding constituency, and I am here to maintain the rights of that people whenever they are presented to the Senate."
