and pointless. We cannot remember any
time within the last fifteen years when they
haven't pronounced Mr.. Webster a rlitor
to Freedom They certainly esteemed him
such Tor else they lied) when he supported
Mr.. Clay for President in # and when he
went for Gen. Taylor in As, there was no
end to their execrations Of bis baseness and
treachery. Now they seem to have been
struck perfectly dumb with amazement 10,
not dumb exactly they can be struck any
way but that that Mr.. Webster, after his
long, brilliant, magnificent career in defense
of Freedom, should have suddenly and un-
accountably given the lie to all his past life
and professions Their present astonishment
convicts them Of past insincerity aud false
witness. And we very strongly suspect
that if this class of his adversaries don't
stop decrying Mr.. Webster before the People
Of Massachusetts, they will abuse him into
a popularity equal to that which he lost by
his Southward-looking Speeches. If any
body can make the People of Massachusetts,
forgive and forget his recent alterations
they are the boys to do it.

pa Mr.. WEBSTER received pretty Sc
we're curryiDg in the proceedings of an
Anti Slavery Celebration at Worcester
last week (see letter. (which he partly
deserved and partly didn't. We think he
did entirely wrong in surrendering, decry-
ing and arguing against the Wilmot (once
Webster) PrOyiso in the Senate, thereby
depriving himself of all power to exact con-
cessions in return from the South. The
true position, it seems to US, was this
Gentlemen Of the South l am for the
Proviso, and my constituents are for it;
yet / will wave it as no longer indispens-
able, if you will make corresponding con-
'cessions on your side by admitting Cali
fornia, settling Justly the Texas Boundary,
'andorganizipg New Mexico and U tab asTer-
ritories with full power over Slavery within
their several bOrders.'-Had Mr.. Webster
taken this ground, and maintained it with
his signal powers Of argument and persua-
sion, we think he could have exerted
great and salutary influence over the settle
ment of the pending questions respecting
our New Territories. But in rejecting and
scouting the PrOvisO, he deprived himself of
all power by relieving the slaveholding in
terest of all apprehension. Having nothing
left to cOncede, he had no remaining ability
to require and enforce. This is the view
we take of his recent course, in the light of
which it seems to US mistaken aud repre-
hensible.
But the venOmOus vituperstion of the
great New Highlander by the Eastern Abo-
litiOnists seems to US grossly inconsistent

En5~ The Rochester AdUeTtiSer has a very
foul eruption about the mouth, for which it
would seem to have found an excuse in the
recent course Of The Tribune. The single
idea attainable from its column Of false wit
ness is this-The Tribune de1ounces Cass,
Dickinson & Co. for opposing the Wilmot
Proyiso, and so rendering a Compromise ex-
pedient, and yet The Tribune has pro-
nounced the project Of Mr.. Clay " fair and
equal Compromise of the questions on which
the North and the South are at issue" If
It be so. why should The Tribune desire
more?
We answer in few words
We hold the North to be entirely right on
the questions which have recently caused
sectional agitation. We think it was unrea-
sonQJle and wrong in the South to regard the
Wilmot Proviso as a violation Of their Con-
stitutional rights, and to threaten Disunion
in case Of its adoption. We think the course
of Messrs. Cass, Dickinson & Co. in de-
nounciDg and opposing that PrOyisO (which
they at first protested to approve and sup
port was one Of bad faith 10 their constitu-
ents and to the principle of Human Liberty.
But the South did take issue with the North
on the question Of excluding Slavery by law
from the Territories, and Messrs. Cass, Dick
inson, &c. did take the side of the South in
the premises, thereby creating balance of
forces as well as an antagonism Of opinions.
The developments of public sentiment and
the fruits Of agitation in the Territories
themselves appeared concurrently almost
certain to secure the non-extension of Slavery
thereto, even in the absence of any Congress
sional prohibition. Our opinion Of the pro
priety and legality Of the Wilmot Proyiso
has not changed one hair, but the necessity
the practicabilHy of enacting it appears to
have receded into the vague future. Now,
therefore, We are willing to compromise and
take half our right rather than continue a
controversy from which we can anticipate
no good, but apprehend much evil Give US
California's Admission, fair adjustment Of
the Texas Boundary and Territorial Gov
ernments for New-Mexice and Utah, and
we will forego the Wilmot ProyisO, though
we think we ought to have this and all the
others beside.-The Advertiser is welcome
to all it can make out of our position, even
by worse assaults and coarse representa-
tiOns.

as Governor over Charles Manly, the Wing
incumbent, who succeeded by only S74
majority in 1913, although Gen. Taylor car
ried the State few months afterward by
