Mn. WrnsrEH's SpEEcn-.We had pre-
pared an article Of some length, on this great
speech which We are obliged TO defer for
want Of room We regard it as sound.
able honest speech, strongly cnircnchcd be-
hind the Constitution and the Law, and from
this point Of view, unanswerablc in lis main
positions. There are points wa admit, that
are open to objection. II New Mexico is to
have territorial government, VIC need to
be entirely satisfied that Slavery can never
by any possibility, 90 there, before VIC can
agree to omit Posaire prohibition by Con-
gross We believe Mr.. WrBsrERi is sincere
IN the view he takes Of the matter, and in
his reiterated hostility to the extension Of
Slavery. The great object to be gained is
the absolute restriction Of Slavery within its
present lrniis-and We care not hoy this is
brought about, if it is only made secare.
such we believe TO be the sentiment of the
North, almost universally.

as to the obligation Of the Government to
admit new Slave States from the present

Otherwise, we believe Mr.. SEwARp's

FREE SonGsM IN \ BAD SENsE."-
The Brandon Post devotes three columns to
an attempt to show that the Free Soil doc
trncs Of that curious relic, the Buffalo
Platform, are Wing doctrines We congrat-
ulate the corresponding cdtorthat, for once,
he has made out his point very clearly. We
respect the candor of this admission-though
it comes rather late. But when he under
takes to apply this significant truth-to make
it the basis Of an argument to show that in
dcnouncng the measures and the general
course Of tho Free Soil party, we, to the
same extent, denounce the Wing party, the
sophsm is little too transparent to deceive
anybody. We have always understood
and admitted that the Free Soil doctrines
profcssed by the late Van Buren, party, and
10y the Wings, were essentially the same.
In cdyyipg ont those doctrines-in the
"mcasurcs and views Of the two paities--
we see great difference. If the editor of
the Post does not, in dcnouncing the Wigs,
he is guilty Of all the Inconsistency he charges
upon US We cannot give him joy of the
predicament into which he has GOT himself
still, we are unable to help him out of it.

proved the course of the Representatives

not approve those who took the opposite
course. We thought it but justice to state
the probable reasons that influenced certain

Of their part. This the Post consrues into
appreciation Of their course The editor al

from this State cannot be reconciled with
the suppor. Of Gen. Taylor's non-inierveniion
policy meaning, we suppose, the policy
laid down in his California Message. As
that is mere assertion, it is enough for US, at
present, TO assert the contrary. A large por
ton, if not all, of the Northern wings, who
voted against laying that resolution on the
table, viii be found sustaining the policy of
the President.
