1t is hardly worth while to inquire
which Of these contradictory libelers lies
most foolishly, but the former appears the
more wanton and malignant Of the two
lie perfectly we'll knows-that we
would brave the small risk that Slavery, in
the absence of an express inhibition by Con-
gress, may hereafter be able to invade the Ter
ritories, in order to shield NewMexicO from
the imminent danger of her surrender BY
Loco-Foco Congress to Texas, and conse-
quently to Slavery. In other words, we
greatly prefer to trust the question Of Slave
~ in New-Mexico to the People and author
tiles thereof, knowing them to be heartily an
ti-Slavery, rather than risk transfer OF the
deciding voice to Texas, which we know to
be thoroughly pro-Slavery, and whose claim
to New.Mexico the whole Slavery frcPa'

Nor,bern Loco Focos with the entire South
ern cobort sweeps away the last pretext for
;noredulity. New-Mexico must be saved
from Texas and Slavery at all hazards, and
can only be saved by earnest Free Soil ex-
ertions-by exertions which will disregard
cherished formulas, ingrained prejudces,
and heartless calumniatOrs, in steadfast de-
votion to practical results. And this effort
to save and secure New-Mexico from aotu-
al, positive, unequivocal Slavery, The Post
stigmatizes as "giving up the Free Soil
question altogether" and asks,
&C How much deeper ought the brand of hypocrisy
and aeitious avery be burnt into the forehead
of the canting print from which we take these ex'
tracisl"
We place this expression on record that
the fastidious souls who were so shocked by
our calling lie lie may have fresh OPP
portunity of displaying their sensibilities.-
We have never intimated doubt of The
Posts sincerity in its advocacy Of Free Soil,
while it has not ceased to assail ours in the
grossest terms. We have preferred to live
in peace and charity with it, but our good
will has been repaid by the most fragrant
insults, and the most atrocious calumnies.-
Even now, it does not pretend that we were
wrong in our judgment that those who pro-
fess to be Free Soil men, and were elected
as such, yet voted to stiae the voice Of New
Mexico in the impending debates on ques-
tons involving her very existence, are per-
fdious and rotten-hearted. What excuse is
there, then, for its new calumniess
AS to our smaller hbeler on the opposite
tack-but we are not in the mood for triAes
just now.
