Of the Union be resisted the Annexation OF Tex
az and the aubsequent measures, which have
proved to be- source of sectional agitstion.
While he respected, with religious fidelity, the
Constitutional rights of all sections, he was ever
ready to defend hia own from aggression. He uni
tormly ressted the xtepsion OF Slavery over Free
Territory. believing that portion OF the country
can claim this among ite rights. His opinions in
ibis regard are unchanged. The adjustment OF
the Territorial questions by CoDgregs does not in
all respects accord with bis sentiments, yet be
4ses impeiied TO scquiepee in the Constitutional
action q the majority.
We know that MIR. HUNT in common with all
aue Wigs desires to the Wing party united
On Just and enlightened National grounds, acting in
cordial cooperation in support OF those cardinal
measures which he deems Indispensable to the
prosperity and happiness of the Union.
Gan i: be possible that anything has occurred to
restrain the Whigs of this State from yielding g.
anited support to candidates who stand on the
tmehonored principles of the party, and whore Of
brta have been constantly directed to avert divis

The People must answer, and we await their re-
spuuse With undated confidence in their patriot
Ism and intelligence.
We have good re son 70 believe that thu course
parsued by Mr.. HUNT will be adopted by all tho
candidates on the ticket.
