*'I believe in the equality of the States, and

the Territories pertain alike to the citizens of all

ibepioueersof civilization who quit the old States
for new homes in the West, to form and regulate
their own domestic institutions in their own way
and make all other laws, according to their
liking. It was in this way our fathers settled
this goodly land, and made the wilderness to
blossom as the rose. They were all “squatters”
in the popular slang of the day. When they want,

all the other States who collonise and settle our
broad Territories, shall exercise the same righto
of self-government that they did. If these opin

Mr. Doolittle—I .wish to put a question to the
honorable Senator from Illinois on that point.
Mr. Douglas—1 desire to deal with this point
now. At another time, the Senator can present
his point. The right of transit, to, and from the
Territories, is the same for one species of proper
ty as it ia for all others. Thus tor, the Senator

of the principles adopted, and whose secession has
produced the strifes and divisions that now per
vade the land. The only answer to it I have yet

ing delegation from this State. It is in their ad-
grass, assigning the reasons for tbeir course. It
