together, nor by the insinuations we nav ~ '0Ng
by the positions we assume as political but
the manner in which we fortify OF defend 'ef and
shall not stake our " Editorial character, - ~" We
'' venture assertion" upon the strength ~. Yet
the simple reason that-although some sir w. iN
this present June-it exists more in the minds 40
who have done US the honor TO peruse our sho..@ "@
in our own. Our neighbor can do as he nlo..'s "s'
he chooses to 6 risk't his :. Editorial cb. b'' L
upon any ssassertion'' hemay 6. venture" ,o .F
he is no doubt at liberty to do so but We ho~s hs
to remember thateit is the product of much ,s,:
and thought, and that, bearing as it does uuoD
impress of six long months, its loss, if the 's
should be against him, would be calamity of ~
dinary magnitude.
The truth is, the Times and the Register have mi,
denptedto answer our article on the Slavery ODo.,
of the Goth of last month. .4nsaOer it they nevs
They may writhe under the truth they NAV n..S 'p
and dstort; they may evade the real issues or
new ones which have no bearing on the subject "
that will be all. They may deny the facts sra%
arguments we have addressed to the people of b.%
parties thisabsorbng question, but they can D..
meet them fairly nor upset them.
The Times says of the Wilmot Proviso: mw,L.
ever opposed its enactment-but it has been er,..,
and the South submitted. II aciH be enacted nnos
and what will the South do 90 Does not that non'
know that this Proviso, applied in the Oreoon I'm
was submitted to as but carrying out in rood g."
the Missouri Compromise and that Mr.. Po,k IL
tinctly declared, that if enacted forfhe Terrio,,
South of that line, he would veto it? And kpovis'
this, why does it not honestly state it! We submi
ted for the sake of the Union, to the Missouri co
promise; and because we did that, WE MUST cvp :.
ALL! Because we gave the North what no Sou,bo,,
man thought Of denying, and what, if denied, wup
have reused up every in the free States auaDs,
us-because that was done-becGuse aOe gone them A.
share, WE MUST NOW SUBMIT TO THEIR DEMAND 70,
THE BALANCE! Is that the voice of Southern man,
Is that North Carolina Whigism! Why, such
course as this absolutely fnrites aggression! Issv,
to the fanatics and the freesoilers of both par,
the free States-strke! for we are here and ~, ~,
here to submit 1t would make Mr. Polk respousbl.
for tbeVery evil and the rank injustice against which
he protested, and which he declared he stoodreM
to prevent; and it would yield up to the aggresu,
with murmurs, probably but still with savsh spirit
and without resistance, every ounce of gold ever
wave of water, every inch of territory (acqured By
the common blood and treasure) from the parallel Of
thirtysx degrees thirty minutes to the limits of New
Mexico! ..... ........t.
But the Times asks, I" what will the South dOw
We reply by the question, What aoiH Gen. Taylor
dog That paper does not know "what" he "may
do"-but it " thinks - he will veto the Provso! It
{" thinks" SO; and yet in the next breath it calls for
rally here among Shareholders, to defeat Messn
Lane, Venable, and others, who are charged with an
alliance with freesoiers and Abotionists' against
Gen. Taylor, Z" the true friend of the South -! 0u
&c true .friend'' in league with Ewing and COlamg
Our "true triend" pledged to the North, and his
supporters here unable to declare tohat his rI
be question aUAich incOlues rights and our &
We hope the people of the South begin now ose
they will feel, fear, the great mistake they
committed in voting against Gen.Cass. He stood
pledged to veto that Proviso-to curb and lash down
this turbulent spirit of aggression and fanacsm; and
he would have done it. His election would have
given security to the South and repose to the Union;
but as it is, We perceive nothing beyond but dir
fcuties, agitation, uncertainty, and darkness. Gen.
Taylor mag save and save the Union, if he will;
but who can answer for him? Can Mr.. StanyG
Mr.. Outlaw, or Mr.. Nash!
