which may be necessary to preserve our rights from
Infringement.
ResOlatiOn Of the Wing State Contention OF
Vermont. y
Resolved, That we regard slavery as the most dan.
gerous element existing in the nation, which it would
be unWlse to strengthen or extend; and, therefore, that
our alternative as to any territory to be acquired from
Mexico must be,Jfee territory or none,
Gen. Taylor and the South.
One reason why the South should, and probably
will, sustain Gen. Taylor for the Presidency with
great unanimity, is because his nomination affords us
a final and unlocked for chance of electing a southern
man to that office. Now, when it is considered that
both the great parties at the north court the anti-slave-
ry faction, that both are opposed to the extension of
slavery, and that both exhibited in the late Congress a
settled determination to disfranchise the south, the i'm
portance OF placing at the head of the Government
one who, from birth, association, and conviction, is
identified with the south, and who will t~earlessly up
hold her rights and quad her from oppression, cannot
fail to strike every candid mind. ln this view, his cleo
ton becomes a matter of vital moment to the slave
holding portion of the Confede:acy.-N O. Bee.
VIII they Remain Firm.
The Boston Atlas speaks in this wise, much to our
qualifications
"The Wings of Massachusetts and ofthe free states
will not support a candidate for le Presidency, in our
opinion, who will exercise his power either to take
from Mexico her lands or to encourage the further
extension of slavery upon the continent. There is no
principle more firmly rooted in the hearts of ,he PEG.
pie of the free States, than that there shall be no more
slave territory ADDED TO this Union"

Southern EbuIIitiOns on the lth of July

Inc Emanclpator says;

prevails at the south on the 4th of July, We find the
following toasts or sentiments which were given by
members OF military companies and other citizens OF
the south, most Of which breathe a spirit of deadly
hostility to the north. How long will Northern free
men submit to be banboo2led bv northern demagogues
for the protection of southern slavery?
The first were given at the celebration at St, IIele-
