Wilmot ba. been defeated in the twelfth
Congressional district This own DISTRICT ct
pcuns ylsanis Tor the nomination to Con
rrcss. Freesoilism has been completely
used up.
We are induced to notice the above par.
aeraph. from the fact TINT strong effort Is
made b, many southern presses, and SOUTH
eru politicians, To make the people believe
that the south has political advocates and
friends Mt the North. Now, such Is not Iho
ease, aud those who assert it cannot lay
their hands upoD one man at the North, "a
public life. who is friend TO The south
Mr. Cas- was instructed to vote for the WI.

Webster also took stand against has CON
,tiucney At that time the NIlmot proNl-
90 was the popular doctrine OF the North,
and was solemn, endorsed by nearly cvr-
~ Northern Legislature. We find after
wards that the Legislature Of Michigan rr.
,cindcd the instructions given Nr Cass. and
the Northern people as a mass abandoned
the proviso. And why dad they do this ?
Because Mr. tass. Mr. Webster and Mr.
CLAY convinced them there were other aud
safer modes of dong the same thing hr
Cas-. told his constituents and the country
that the people Of tbc South would resist
the proslso, aud II At were passed a dsa1'u-
ton of the | mon would inevitably follow.
But adopt hI, opinion that the territorial
Legislatures had night 10 settle toe quos.
ton. and all would be- safe. Nh Webster
held the doctrine that the laws Of God
would keep slavery out of the territories

men OF the North, and vet he tells Us Ia his
memorable speech (which viii be found in
