txac from Inc correspondents OF The
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, February 5, 1850.
Think that one very essential obstacle the adjustment
OF the slavery question to be removed by the probable
abandonment by the North Of the policy Of the Wilmot
exclusion Of slavery from Caorniaandc cannot deem it
necessary to fight for the shadow besides.
The North might well be willing to establish the terri
toral governments proposed with the two declarations
suggested by Mr. Clay, and which to the South al
most Objectionable the Wlmot Proviso. TO which,
they say, they equivalent The northern still say
that they cannot vote for the organization OF Territories
without the declarations referred TO- They willing to
yield far TO accept the declaration Of the exist
of slavery by law, instead OF the Wilmot Proviso.
Here appears be the chief obstacle be got rid Of Gen.
Taylos plan gets rid of il by leaving the Territories
they are, but that leaves the question open.
