doubt its correctness.
We copy the foregoing from the Sentinel

has got his readers so trained that they do
not "doubt the correctness" Of any statement
he makes.

Mr. Cole paid Judge Mech for his wool in

"NO MORE TERRITORY. -" Some of the
Wing papers take the ground that the safest
way to avoid more slave territory is TO
have no more foreign territory. Among these
papers is the Boston Atlas Its position is that
even if the Wilmot Proviso be applied to Mex
lean Territory-after it shall be constituted in
to States; or, that, Slavery being planted upon
the territory-somc occupants of Me xican ter
ritory now claim men as slavcs-one man
will become such, ifacquircd. Yet the Atlas
does not surrender the Wilmot Proviso but ar
CUES that no foreign territory is the surest and
more excellent way to avoid the extension of
slavery. 1fterritory must come, then the At
las contends for the application of the Wimot
Provso as the next best course
We give this position of the Atlas because
we have noticed that some of the Polk prints,
who are anxious to back out of the feeble
support they have given the Proviso, have
copied garbled extracts from the arguments of
the Atlas, and asserted that the Wings had a.
bandoned the Proviso. These papers seem to
be seeking an excuse for adopting the plat
form of their leaders--Buchanan and others
and they turn upon the Wings and accuse
them of abandoning their position against the
extension of slavery. No Wing paper OF
statesman at the North, has abandoned the
Wilmot Proviso, and we do not see or hear of
its being done by any body except by locofo-
cos. Since Mr. Buchanan exposition of 10.
cofocoism the demonstrations adverse to the
Proviso by locofocos numerous, though
much appeared before squirting the same way
