THE ASPECT.

We think, before this year closes, that the Presi-
dent of these United States will be ready to ueto any
measure which will limit or weaken slavery
The note Of warning is sounded. The message;
carefully scanned, means this, and nothing more
Ethat the Wmot proyiso must be kept down-if
forced upon the President, he will veto it"
The National Htteligencer, referring to Gen.
Tayors California message, afirms that cit is es-
seatiGlly the same, and In almost THE SAME
TERMS, as that delivered by Mr. Polk, Dec 8,
ls4S. And it is SO. Yet what Wing journal failed
to denounce that for its proslavery tendency? What
Free State Wing orator failed to declare servile
and Southern? Not one. Everywhere, and on all
sides, met with the severest censure SO far as the
Wing party is concerned Yet this same party, as
general rule, can see flaw, and find no fault, in
Gen. Taylor's message!
Mr. Polk asserted
That the principle of non-interference is the true
doctrine.
That the several States are equal, and Congress
could not, in the absence of any express grant of
power, interfere with their relative rights -
This declaration involved the veto. Mr.. Polk
frankly said so. Gen. Taylor does not say what he
Will do: but his avowa, essentially the same and in
about the same terms, proclaims, in unnlistakable
language, where he will end. The pledge he gave
so soemnly to the people of the country, that he
would not interfere with or dictate to Congress he

And for what end? To sustain the South! To
uphold and extend slavery! And for this same end.
naturally as Louisiana planter, necessarily holding
the opinions he does, he will veto the Wilnot Pro-
vso! Credulous men will doubt Partizans deny.
But these facts are not denied at Washington, nor
doubted much any where
That the power of the administration is exerted
now to prevent the passage of the WiImot proviso.
| That If it is passed, the President will veto it.
vi this opinion, too, is Senator Davis, of Miss,
and his opportunity Of knowing the opinions of Gen
Taylor are full. In a letter to c. J. Searles, of
Miss, he says:
81 have little doubt now of the passage of the
Wllmot proviso, or some equivalent measure. Dick
inson will vote against it, Cass will not vote for it
this IS, believe, the whole opposition which will be
offered by the Senators of the non-slaveholdn states
But If my observations here have DESTROYED nv
hopes In Congress, they have, on the other hand
created some confidence that the President will veto
the bill AS have often told you his heart is with

emergency as becomes his station and heroic fame

gency? The South Why is it made? Not to save
the Union, but to extend slavery. And for this. he
will resort to the veto.-C Cleveland True Democrat
