Their position Is psiny, 10 Prerent the extension
Of Slavery. That's the end they have aimed at.
and still aim At. If non inieypenf;on" will effect
this, the Wings of Vermont are perfectly viii,
ling to let it; nay, they prefer it. ON the ground
that it s better for the people Of the territories
to do right voluntarily If non-inlefvention jdiis,
then the Wings are for "positive prohibition"
This is the position Of the Wings it was
assumed before President Taylor indicated his
course in his first message Of Dec. 1919. We
quote from the resolutions of the " hig State
Convention, July 4, l649, as follows:
"That unless, as we hope and trust, the people
OF Cal,fornls ana new mexlco snal' anticipate
.ne sIuo. =, o"' nas' ss .,s;.s I'll,
cors,itious forbiddinq the existence OF slavery,

Portant point Of all, the 1erds polnt-whlch the
coalition have omitted. The resolutions OF the
legislature last tall, and OF the wing state Con-
vention ON the l1lh nit., are precisely 10 the
same effect In word' the wing ground Is
unchanged. But the coalitlonists accuse Us OF
approving the course OF The administration, and
argue thai to be an abandonment OF our posi-
