iornia being the Wimot proviso in another
form, President Taylor BY signing bill for
such admission, would be isso EactO, Wilmot
ProVisO;st. But according to Equal Rights
the admission of that country as a State, at this
time, would spare the President the necessity
OF either approving or vetOing the PrOSiso, and
therefore, the conclusion is irresistible, thai
the admission Of California would not be the
sWllmot in another form.'
Equal Rights cannot understand the allusicn
which made to the Democracy. made no
accusation, and his charge that did, is un.
loanded in point of fact--what did say was
that | greatly feared, that the Juggling in Of
the California Issue, at this time, was intended
Tor heParPose Of carrying out the schema Of
lhdeiueE-ands WIN had determined to oppoae,
General Taylor's administration, 'et the future
wear what face it may.' And fear SO stiIl.-
The action Of the last Legislature Of this State
and other Democratic legislatures south, was
the browning point in the evidence by which
my mind was convinced upon this subject
We all know that the October Convention
which met in Jackson, composed equally Of
both parties, aud elected by the people, for the
express purpose of taking counsel upon the
entire subject OF slavery agitation, re fused to
make the admission Of California one of the
contingencies of resistance, which on the other
hand, the Wilmot proviso was TO be resisted at
all hazards and to The last extremity. And il
was this course pursued by the Legislature Of
this and other Southern States, that has produr
ced the difference in feeling and sentiment
upon the subject, which Equal Rights 50
much regrets. Had the contest been confined
10 the support Of the ground occupied by the
October Convention, the whole South would
have presented determined and united
front, and il any harm arises to the South
or her institutions from this cause, the cen.
sure must fall upon That dangerous spirit o.
, demagOgueisu, so prevalent in this age of pro.
gress-that spirit which does not; perhaps
'love Its country les, but hates President Tay.
lor and The Wing party rnore.' Equal Rights
alludes TO our allies, and thinks the northern
Democrats are such. Why has he forgotten
the coalitions which have taken place in Yer
mont, Connecticut, Ohio and elsewhere, be-
tween freesoilsm and democracy, by which
the wings have been demolished? Has he for
gotten Martin Van Buren,, that 'northern mar
> with southern feeings'-the great hgh-pries
! of democracY--th successful candidate il
1885, tire defeated candidate in 1910, and th
freesoI candidate in i848? And what will ht
do with flafe and Chase Of the Senate, not /,
, mention Davy WiImoA democratic member il
Congress from Pennsylvania, the pritaHve ia
thcf OF that nongrel creature called the VII,

allies not to speak Of others. No, Sir, we hay,

r. assure Equal Rights that although we ma,
, now entertain different views, upon particuIa
q subjects, still honestly believe, the time
not far distant, when oil unpleasant difficuItie
between tie north and the south being settled
\ upon an amcuble and satisfactory basis, W

ia country, our whole country, and nothing bu
, our country stretching from tho Atlantic to til

ia with true patriotic pride, "Liberty and UnioI
