ma" FatiuTes-Ihe Whfgs and the Slavery Qssstfon--
M Benton
Two more failures of the malone last evening and
one Tuesday evening What jewel of q Post Master
General
The wings are very foolishly determined to oppose
any acquisition of territory from Mexico and TO make
this an issue at the next Presidential electonat least
it would appear so fom present Indications They ex-
pect to unite in support Of this policy the fanatcs Of
the North and Of the South the ultra aboonsts and
the ultra uphoders Of slavery The sboitonists may
support the policy but the South will sustain it
The great body Of the southern people contrnt to
decide the question by extension Of the limo of the
Missouri compromise, and the Same terms--that is
that North of thiry-sx degrees thirty minutes there
shall be no slavery and that its establishment south Of
that line shall be left to the people Of State as
may be formed south OF the line. look upon
tain, that slavery cannot exist at ALL in any territory
weshal acquire by treaty from Mexico for the simple
that slavery such territory would be not only
unproductive but burdensome The North, consequent
ly can have valid objection to the disposal OF the
question, by extension OF the line OF the Missouri
compromise The South insist upon this compromise
point Of honor. Every southern man who has
amined the subject is doubtless convinced that slavery
cannot exist In any territory may acquire in Mexico;
but nevertheless, southern will consent to
oecare on compuson, thAt slavery shall not exist In
such territory.
But there at the South who orsee that slavery
cannot exist in tho Cafor Mas New Mexico and who
on that account will oppose this acquisition regardless
Of the manifold advantages accruing to the United
States from their possession II is to be hoped that few
men SO nliberal and blinded to the interests OF
the Union by selfish considerations To protest against
the extension Of national domain unless slavery shall
extend pari passu preposterous 1t is chimescs to
expect that the slave States attain to a
rical equality with the free States but their very weak
will be of strength They will always hold
the balance Of power The two great parties which
divide the free States will be obliged each
to the South that there not in reality any danger
of encroachmen by the North the area OF slavery
The Southern States will DO able, at all times to hold
their own.
The Union intimated some time since, that Mr. Ben
ton would not oppose the administration next session
1t spoke rather In hope than In certainty and had no
valid ground for the assertion. MIR Benton will doubt
less be occupied in opposing Mr. Calhoun, and trying
General Kearny but he will also hnd time to manifest
his feelings towards the administration, to which, not
decidedly hostile, he Is by means favorable. trust
there will not be repetition of the disgraoefu scenes
enacted last session. MIR Benton In very able man,
but he sometimes prefers the qualification of his own
private feelings to the good Of the country.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE people,

That no delay will attend our entrance into the
Unon,if we reject the present Constitution Mr. Cat
lin, the Secretary of the Territory, who speaks as
having authority, has publicly declared that if
the Constitution is defeated, Gov Dodge aoiU call a
special session Of the Legislature to proridc fra
ming dnOthsr.-Sentinet and Gazette.
We do not believe that John Catlin had any au-
thorty for making any such statement; as it is
matter ofpublic notorty that Gov. Dodge as an
officer of the United States, has very properly de
clIned expressing any opinion upon the subject of
the adoption rejection of the Constitution Strong
efforts are being made by the opposition 10 indenty
the Governor with them TO throw the whole weight
otthe Administration against the adoption of the Con
stitution buti is only the struggle oldrowning pol
lhclans to float upon his popularity sink him
with them,-tFiS Dem.
Since the above was put in type, we have seen a
letter published in the August by Mr.. Catlin, in
which he denies having had any authority from the
Governor, for giving the intimation he did it being
merely an opinion of his own But there is ano-
Their question. We DO not believe the Governor has
the power TO call Especial session. The exercise of
this power heretofore on the part OF the Executive
has been IN accordance with special authority given
No such authority has been given in this case, and
of course such authority exists

out OF an audience of over 10.
Resolved, That all power emanates from the
people That as governments are instituted to Sc
cure theirpeace happiness and prosperity, tshould
be fundamental principle of all governments to
give and grant equal rights to all and exclusive
privileges to none.
Resolved, That circumstances and policy loudly
call upon the people of Wisconsin to assume the
responsibility of selfgovemment and enter the
Union a state.
Resolved, That the Constitution now before the
people is well suited TO protect the wants and Sc
cure the happiness and future prosperity of the
people especially the producing classes, and con
sequcntly we consider the duty Of every republi-
and phianthropist to use their influence to Sc
cure its adoption.
