issension among the Democrats, occasioned by the introduction of the doctrine called by its inventors and advocates popular sovereignty, or nonin-tervention, but more generally and more accurately known as squatter sovereignty. Its character has already been concisely stated in the preceding chapter. Its origin is generally attributed to General Cass, who is supposed to have suggested it in some general expressions of his celebrated Nicholson letter, written in December, 1847.

Speeches in Congress, pp. 322, 350, 351, 364, 367-377. Of his sincerity in his position and statements there can be no question; this appears in a letter to Sumner, Dec. 17, 1847, in manuscript. In the debates, Schenck of Ohio took the lead in winthrop's defence. and through life, Giddings's History of the Rebellion, pp. 263, 281, 300. defended his vote,—maintaining that it was justified by Winthrop's arrangement of the committees, which sustained the war, and stood in the way of the prohibition of slavery in the territories and of other constitutional action against slavery, contending that their defaults arose from what was manifest in their composition, an
