The Spectator places in juxtapositcn, the
resolutions of the Vermont and Alabama De-
mocracy, as published by the party in those
States, in order to show the contrast--but that
print neglected to state that Northern Wings
subscribe to every sentiment contained in the
Vermont resolutions. We have proved this fact
by The evidence of Horace Greedy, editor OF the
N. Y. Tribune, who is himself Wing Free
Sober He says these resolutions are Sound
AND PERTINEN1.n Who are the best Judges,
the editor of the Tribune or the editors of the
Spectator! Why the Spectator seeks to ''raise a
dust" about this coalition, when his own party
is III no better condition, we cannot see For
the purpose of imparting a little information 10
the Wings, as to the position of their party on
the Free Soil question, we give the following ex-
tracts from W ig paper in indiana and u Wing
paper in Maryland. The Maryland editor has no
hestancy IN saying that Gen. Taylor will sign a
bill sanctioning the Wimot Proyiso. What do
Southern Wings think of that

In the approaching elections the Wings pre-

ature gentlemen who have always been, and
are HOW, advocates OF the extension OF the ordi-
nance OF 1897 over our territories. Opposed TO

yet entertain the same opinions whatever their
avowal may be.
This question must be determined by the next
! Congress. Il cannot be longer postponed Oar
State elections will have powerful influence
on ITS determination. Such being the case, is it
not the duty OF every man to cast his vote here
It VIII contribute most to accomplish the object

election Of the lfee-soil candidates for Governor
and Lieut., Governor, nor of a single member of
Congress Then what is to be gained bv cast
my your votes for them BY doing SO. YOU NAV
prevent the election OF men who agree with YOU
on every political question including The question
that you piece atouc al others. Is it the part of
wisdom thus to act, and can YOU reconcile it to
your convictions of duty 50 to do? Reflect upon
these matters -Lldiana State Jolanal, UAig

We expect that the effort will be revived in
Congress, to pass the Wilmot Proviso. if for no
other purpose than to compel General TAYLOR to
take a stand for or against it. His opinion on
the subject has beena matter of some soIicitlldc.
but we think that there is little doubt as to the
course he would pursue should the proviso be
passed. He acknowledges in the fullest latitude
the power of Congress to legisate, and (lisayovs
the interpostion Of the Presidential veto except
ing III cases OF manifest want of deliberation or
/ palpable violation Of the constitution In the
passage of the Wilmot Proviso, neither of these
objections can be urged--for the subject has been
| so long under consideration and SO elaborately
argued that haste cannot be alleged-whiist the
practice Of the government from the earliest
times has decided as to the constitutionaty of
the act. We then express it as our deliberate
opinion, that, it the Wilmot Proviso be passed
BY Congressit viii be signed by the President,
Baltimore G7ippcr.
u When the Spectator hereafter speaks of
Northern Democracy let it first see that all is
right with its own party.
