raj members of Congress, had addressed let
tiers to &c II. Taylor on the subject of the
Proviso, to whom no answers were ever re-
ceived. Some one asked if they paid the
postage. 'Nor said 1iiddings, we ranked
them A shout. But, said he, when Gen.
Taylor was addressed by southern editor
to know if he meant in his Signal letter to
be understood as a Proviaoist, he promptly
replied that he did not wish to be so under
stood. To prove that Taylor was opposed
in toto to the Proviso, Giddings cited the
case of the legislative committee of Mlssls-
sippi and ii report of one of its members
to Mr.. Thompson, member of Congress,
Here Senator Backus arose, shook the dew
from his name and asked Mr.. Giddings What
proof he had that any such correspondent ce

is We seek to extend the Wilnot proviso over
all territory belonging to the goycrnment-thcre-

Both Tie Cass aud Taj Tor paltcs claim the re
suit OF the recent state elections as highly favora-
be TO their prospects of success. South Carolina
>ce MS TO be the only State that has given certain
indications Of increased Tay Tor strength; the other
southern states holding about their relative strength
between the two old parties. In Ohio, much TO
the surprise of every person. the contest for Cover
nor is exceedingly close that at the presen,
time cannot tell which Of the candidates is sue.
ces.ul This entirely exingushes all hope OF
TayIoTs success in that state, and increases the
prospect Of the Free Soil ticket. In Pennsylvania
the Wing nominee Sof governor has some two or
thee thousand majority. The Free Soil men made
no nomination. and it is said they all voted for the
wing candidate. The Taylor men claim the state
as certain lor Taylor; he probably stands the hes;
chance for 1t. bat when the Free Soil men come Ia
vote their own ticket, it must render the resul,
doubtful. These elections hen examined, furnish
bit little indication OF the result in November and
we see no to induce either of the three par
ties 10 relax their efforts

UjThc Wings claim vast deal of credit for be-
ing what they call, original Free Soil men The
fee soil principle is they have always had, and
it is sheer Impotence say they, for Van Buren, men
to assume i. Now, we will not dispute what they
may always have been, but is it not, in all con-
science, little singular, that these ardent friends
Of free soil, should nominate one of the greatest
shareholders in the country to carry out their prn-
ciples. What should we think of a set of men
banded together 20 promote the temperance cause,
who should nominate for oihcs, TO carry ont their
principles, Of the head runseers of the country
We should call them original temperance men with
a vengeance, from the very original mode they
had of accomplishing their object; a1.d truly, we
think these original free soil men are entitled TO
the distinction they claim from the same cause.

We woud say to the Wisconsin, that we mean
to insinuatc nothing with regard to Mr. Lyndc's at
tachmcnt to the proviso of freedom. We mean to
say distinctly, emphaticaly and unequivocally that
we look upon him as a TRAITOR to that provso
And VIC cannot show it, distinctly as we assert
ii, we will acknowledge oursclf to have slandcred
him.
Where is the proof of his attachment to the pro-
vis1, as referring to the regions Of California and
New Mexico! Why, he voted for the proviso i'll
the Oregon bill. So did Houston, of Texas, and
no one suspects him of being i'll favor of extending
the provso bvcr all territory now frees that Lynd S
position is 10 better than Houston in that respect.
But he saws he is in fdvCr of it. So might the de-
vii say he was christian, but it would not make
him so. No matter what he says, let us see what
he does. lie walks up to the ballot box on the Sc
venth of November, and there with his own right
hand he proclsims, Briefly then, am opposed to
the exercise of any jurisdiction by Congress- over this
matter" q" do not see in the Constitution any
grant Of the requisite power to Congress" That is
what, by voting for Lewis Cas-, he proposes to do
on the 1th of November and yet the Wisconsin, in
the face of this glaring fact, mpudcntly asks us to
consider him WiImot provso man. But again,
the President by the veto, wiclds power equal to
80 votes in the lower house Of Congress- and admit
ting that Lyndc will cast vote in its favor he
is laboring to elevate man to the Presidency, who
will cast 80 votes against it. What a sweet VII

WILLIAM l.. YANcEY.-This gentleman, a men,
Der of Congress from Alabama, it will be recolleced,
in the Baltimore Convention, and there refused
his adherence to Cass because Cass was not suiii-
GENTLY pledged to the south. His doctrine is, that
the south has perfect right to carry herslaves and
her slave institutions into new territory, and no pow
er on earth has right to prevent it, to abrogate
slavery after it has been established; and holding
these views, and not considering Cass sufficiently
pledged, he has given in his adhesion to Gen. Tay-
Tor. He evidently don't know that Gen Taylor is
proviso man, Notwithstanding he can find it so sta
ted IN any northern wing paper.
