ritOries.

ritOries.
Lnte Northern papers seem to US to hold
language which, late as it is employed, de-
serves commentator at The South. The New
York Tribune now virtually admits that 1t
cannot see any good reason why the North
should press the Wllmot P%roviso, if, as it full
comedies slavery is rendered impossible in the
new territories BY a natural Proviso, and by
t e character of the population. The New
York Evening EXPRESS, which has always been
somewhat liberal to the South is OF the same
opinion. It's convinced that slavery cannot
exist in California, aud tries TO argue its read
ere into the same belief with the view Of crca.
ting a northern public opinion adverse to tho
uTtra-tactlonists who will have nothing but the
Wilmot Provlso, and seem really as anxious
to insult as to injure the South. The New
York Journal of Commerce, a leading and
influential paper, has the following;
The question now is, MT whether there
shall be slavery in the New Territories, (Ior
that is next to impossible but whether thu
exclusion shall be effected by the people OF
the Territories, in a manner satisfactory to the
South, however much they may dislike the
result, or by the rash, arbitrary, tyraunicaI act
of a sectional majority of Congress, against
the remonstrances and Pntreaties of a section
al minority, who declare that such an act would
be deemed by themselves and their constitu-
ents a violation Of the spirit of the Constitu-
ton, and greatly disturb the harmony Of the
Union. Between these alternates, how ia il
possible that any good citizens can hcsi-
tate ="
We hope such sent monts as those nav be-
come general at the North, however Ii title we
may be disposed to admire a conservatism
based upon pure self-interest. All the South
desire is that Congress shall let the question
OF slavery in the new Territories alone. if
this be done, in good faith, she will cheerfullv
submit to the operation of disadvantages which
however provoking, were in part of her own
procnring,-V. Wbig.

EMANCIPATION IN KcNruoKY.-rhe Hon. II
Clay has addressed a letter to Richard Pindell,
Esq. OF Lexington, KY, on the subject of
emancipation, for which we are indebted to
the polite attention of the Editor OF thu Lou

distinguished authors accustomed clearness
and ability. He is in favor of prospective
emancipation, coupled with African colonial
ton. He would not have the measure operate
before 1860; and is entirely opposed to it, UNI
less accompanied by provisions for the M
