The WlImOt ProyIsO,

Few questions which have been agitated in our time
have elected finer display of argumentave ability and
soul stirring defamation than that grave and momentous
one involved in the Wilmot Proviso. Our columns havt
been necessarily occupied with other matters that we
have not hal it IN our power TO repubsh much of what
has appeared in other newspapers vndcatory of the con-
stituona rights OF the South but we have been none
the less reader and admer of the valuable contribu
tons which the leading nellects of party have sup
piled for the illumination of the popular mind few
weeks before the presidential election we noticed the
appearance in the Mssissppian published in the city Of
Jack son, in the State of Mississippi letter from the
accomplished attorney general Of that State, Gen John
Freeman, which struck at the time being particularly
marked with those high powers of thought that Close
logical analysis, and that scrutiny of historical facts
now grown somewhat obscure, which the subject SO
strongly demanded, We glad TO learn that many
extra numbers of this valuable expose Were published
for general dissemination, believe that its perusa
cannot but prove profitable to all who yet entertain
lingering doubt as to the constutionality of the Wmo
Proviso Blu, for its great length should most gladly
insert it in paper.

any other to enable the intelligent pupil to make
without teachers assistance For private study Of the
modern languages, where master and regular lessons
cannot be had, this series of books is wholly unrivaled
and invaluable. We think it good sign tina, thew are
