TO MIR Nicholson contains guaranty that rights 10
slaves in the new territory will be preserved so far
from this if he has opposed The abolition party by any
declaration az ainst the Wmot Provso he has, at the
time, explained to them how the same end that
the abotonsts desire TO accomplish through the Viii
mot Provso can be better obtained through the instru
men, atty of the local legislatures OF the terrories."-
The South Carolina folks want man who is not only,
like Cass, opposed 10 the Nilmo Proviso, but who,
like Calhoun Taylor would in addition be opposed TO
allowing theterroral governments themselves the pow
to exclude shareholders from the right carry and
enjoy their property there, under cline bordering
upon their "suuny South" Their judgment of
the comparative merits of The Baltimore and Phladel-
phia Conventions, is seen in the following:
Resolved That we most heartily approve and ADOPT
the language OF leading journal of this STATE, when
declares that the proceedings Of that body Baltimore
Convenion have fallen like the startling OF an
alarm bell on the OF the South. It's nomination OF
Gen Cass-its resolution about savery-ts entire pro-
oeedlngs from beginning 10 end, fill with apprehen
SlonS almost amounting TO dismay. The opinions OF
Gen Cdss, promulgated in Ills late letter. that the nhdb-
iants of territory before they invested with The att
tributes Of sell government and soveregntyenans OF
the public lands at the Suiferance of the StdeS-mere
squatters-have the right to appropriate the territory
that may be acquired by the galany Of
the Sates-hdS been repudiated By the Press and the
People Of the ,ohoLs South. IT is DOCTRINE TOO
INDUSTRIOUS TO BE ToLERATED-AN osTRACISM
TOO DEGRADING TO BE ENDURED"
But the nominee fthe other Convention, from which
the Wino Provso aud every other late Wing princi>
pie secuted disgust comes just up to their
ideal Of perfection. OF Gen. TAYLOR The South Caro-
lima slavery extenSionists say

that he must feel the awesS character OF any attempt

strongly urgeS TO rise superior to The trd7neL of the

RIGHTS OF The SOUTH the purity of the
Constitution, and the perpeualion OF the Union"
To accomplish this great desderatum, old Zach must
be put in that Mr. Calhouns doctrine of the unconst>
nationality and injustice of restricting, By any means,
the claimed "righs" of Shareholders in the terrific
reS, may be efectualy carried out. OF such material
are composed the arguments and appeals OF the Taylor
Journals IN the slave States. They represent the sen
ments OF Gen. Cass entirely unsafe for them notwh~
standing the lengths which he has gone to please the
South, and advocate Gen. Taylor as candidate far
in the advance in that respect, most cer'an
guarantee fully to that section of the Unon its asserted
privileges, in every particular. 1t is in vain for the
Taylor organs in this region any longer TO try 10 dupe
the honest masses of the North into the belief that as
compared with the CaSs doctrine, Taylorsm would be
the "leas Of two evils" 1t would be decidedly the
greatest.
One resolution more Of the late South Carolina
meeting, shows the great issue which the ultra South
have presented in taking Zachary Taylor for their
standard-bearer:
"Resolred, That regard the issue now made be-
tween the States Of this Union styling themselves the
free StaeS and the States in which domestic servitude
exists, PARAMOUNT TO ALL QUESTIONS
which can be presented"
Let this issue be met with heart and hand, say we.
Let the whole North unite one man in support of the
Free Soil nominees, and the country may yet witness
triumph at the polls which shall forever be remember,
ed blasting the hopes fhe Slave Power convert
the extensive territories of Northern Mexico into do.
