way reach them is to deal with the people in sincerity
truth, and honor But enough upon this point
The plot thiekens upon This ugly terrible ques
ton, which the cabinet seeks to avoid must be met Is
not the duty Of General Taylor to meet it boldly and
manfuy' Is he not bound in honor, to let the people
know what his sentiments are upon this momentous
question. involving as most men fear and believe the
peace and tranquility of our glorious Unioni II his
sentiments were known, would il not do much to aay
excitement and to scatter peace upon the troubled
tersi II il were known that he opposed to the Will
mot Provso. would not the action OF Congress conform
itself to that condition of things and should we not have
governments formed for the new Territories upon the
principle OF non.interventon, which would leave the
whole question OF slavery to the people Of the Terrific
res and to the Supreme Court OF the United States Or,
if it should turn out that he is in favor Of the Wmo
Proyso, the people OF the South would then know the
worst and would be able to adopt the policy which in
their Judgments would be most prudent and expedent in
such state Of things.
We think the whole country must now be convinced
that if Gen. Cass had been elected President OF the Uni
ted States, this portenous question concerning the Terri
tories would have been peaceably settled. His views
upon the subject well known. He was in favor OF
non nterventon-of leaving it to the people Of the Ter
rtories and the Supreme Court Of the United States to
determine what should be the character OF the domestic
institutions which they should establish when they came
into the Union as States This policy, in our judgment.
would have given peace TO the country. But nowith-
standing the wise and patriotic position assumed by Gen.
Cass he was opposed at the South by the ederalsts
because they alleged he NOT sound enough on the
question which most affected the interests Of the South
and Gen. Taylor supported by them because he
and at the North Gen. Cass opposed by the federal
lists because he against the Wmot Proviso, and was
generally unsound in their view, the slavery ques
tion while Gen. Taylor was supported by them because
he a0as against Tie Of the ueto pooer and would per-
init the fedeaiss and aboitioniss OF the North to pass
anything upon the subject through Congress that they
pleased 1t is true that cando integrity, and patriotism
fell in the contest and hypocrisy deceit, and fraud tri
umphed But its very success, thus showing the rerbu
tive justice of Providence will surely crush and destroy
the actors in it. We trust that it may result in nothing
