Remarks.
We give place to all the Posts article that in
any way affects or relates to our course, aud ask
from it equal courtesy TO the following reply.
l. We pronounce utterly, grossly, inexcusaby
untrue the assertion that The Tribune has ever
deemed it "not wise to embarrass the Government
by passing prohibitnry ar dsciarstory act with
regard to Slavery in the Territories of the Uuited
States. The writer hereof voted repeatedly, uni
iormly, zealously, for just such an enactment
voted FOR it at every possible opportunity. He
never gave a vote nor uttered assertion iucon-
sstent herewith, although he would have con-
sented to waive the specific application Of the
Proviso to territory which he believed no longer
| seriously exposed to the inrosds Of Slavery IN
order and expressly, solely IN consideration that
he should thereby secure vast expanse Of tern
tory from imminent, formidable, obvious peril OF
slaveholding domination. He never offered to
do nor thought OF doing anything OF the kind Tor
any purpose whatever but To subserve the cause
of Human Freedom. The Posts assertion We
trust, was inoonsidcsste II repeated, We shall
Know it to be wifully, UNANIMOUSLY false.
| The fact that STATE is duly organized and IT,
Government constituted without one particle o.
authority in its Constitution and laws for holding
human beings in bondage, We presume will pre-
| cude the existence OF Human Slavery therein
Has any body ever questioned this We knos
II is otherwise with regard TO Territory-,ha
Calhoun Co DO hold that the Constitution of the
United States legslizes Slavery in the Territorie
which are the common property Of the Union
Its do sot agree T. this bot since II IS asserted
snd there is danger that the Supreme Court ms,
concur IL this view, sreSi'y prefer that The
Wimot Proviso shall be embodied in any su'
every Territorial organization We hope Il ma,
be IN any State organization also, and We have A.
vices Of the latest date from an influential membe
Of the California Convention sitting al Montere,
that an express Introduction OF Slavery viii b
embodied In the Constitution thereby formed. W
trust II may be bu. Il the Constitution is sien
on the subject we shall still hold Slavery 70 b
precladed thereby. and We think 10 Southern
statesman viii msintsin the contrary. though The.
Dearly al lsd msiatsin it with regard to the TER
tories Hence the vital difference between Gu
position and Senator Walkers
