~ az" opposed to The exercise Of any Jurisdiction
by Congress ore, this NATTER
lido NOT see an the Constitution any grant Of the
requisite po,cer to Congress
Here Cas- tells the south the proviso is unconsti-
tonal. That is all she required, for she knew when
as President, he swore to uphold the constituto n
he swore also to veto this measure which he pro-
claims unconstitutional. This then is the position
Of Cass on this question. He gave the pledge which
the south required and she nominated him for the
Presidency.
What pledge has the south from Taylor?
Enough, in all conscience. He owns two slave
plantations worked by $50 slaves, and is investing
all his capital in slave property. All his interests
all his associations are with the south he is ofthem
he is with them; he was animated by them, and
unless he gives the most positive pledges in favor
of freedom it is the hcighth of folly claim him in
its favor Has he given such pledges No man IL
wing say he has. He wrote a lettet denying
any sympathy for the Wilmot proviso, and although
repeatedly and pointedy addressed on the subject,
he has never written a word in its favor. The
south relies upon him with the utmost confidence,
and asks pledges except those which inevitably
grow OF his education, his associations, and his
interests. They nominated him and they are sa-
tisficd with him.
This then. is the position Of Taylor:
| Cdss and Taylor are both the candidates of the
south and pledged to her interests on this greai
! question, and the man who votes for either must
vote with aud for the south, and must vote against
the Wilmot proyso. These candidates do occupy
| the position we have attributed to them, and mys-
tify the question you may, to elect either OF them
is TO give the sealed verdict Of the nation against
the Wiimot proyso, and in favor of extending sla-
very into this territory free. Do you desire to
do this thing? We cannot believe it.
Yoa have then candidate pledged to freedom
No honest man can lay his hand upon his heart and
say he believes Mr.. Van Buren, is not be trusted on
this question. Mr.. Van Buren, pledges himself ii
favor Of PROHIBITING BY LAW, the introduce
! ton of slavery into territory now free.
There is no middle ground in this matter. Sa
very can be kept out of this territory only b. tho
positive prohibition Of law Mr.. Van Buren, is the
only candidate in the field pledged to this prohib
ton. On which side of this great question then
will you stand. What shall be your voice in m
king up this verdict. The issue is distinctly be
tween FREEDOM and SLAVERY. Let you
voice be for freedom

While it is impossible to obtain unanim-

verv or rather as TO the mode OF preventing
its extension, it is highly fortunate that the
South is divided as to the means of promo
ting its extension. There are two plans at
the South, between which even John {.
Calhoun is undecided. One is, 10 have the
leadership ofan out and out Shareholder ana
presume boldly on the scrvility OF the North.
This bold game, and certainly very haz
ardous to Liberty. 1t will lead quickly to

plan run the usual risk of buying traitor
he may betray them, But he will drag
with him large portion Of the northern de-
mocracy, who would otherwise laI! off TO
the Barnburncrs, and thus give them asrong
chance of defeating the bold game under
