show either great deal Of holiness or an
amazing lack OF sense. For statements of
this issue. al full length, We refer 10 The
editorials mall the Locofoco papers, the
burden Of which is that Gen. Taylor is go
ing TO commit the awful heresy of ap-
proving the Wilmot proviso 10 the Cali.

ceedingly terrible IL we did no, know il 10
be false. The old General cannot approve
The Wilmot provision in The California
Consii,ulionfor the grand reason that there
is no such thing in thai interesting doru-
ment. The Wilmoi proviso is nothing
more nor less than an assertion OF the
principle that Congress has right TO ex-
.clude slavery from the Territories. The
Calfornians had nothing TO do with this.
principle; they have excluded slavery
themselves without waiting for Congress 10

they have met The approval of the most
recent embodiment Of modern Democracy,
as will be seen BY The following paragraph
from an opposition paper published in IL
linois:
We bad il from the lips of Gen.
Cass himself. but few months ago, that
he should. certainly vote for the admis>
sion Of California as State, with Com
siiiuiion prohibiting slavery" as he con-

give his adhesion 10 The doctrine that the
people Of a Territory hare right, IN the
formation of State constitution, 10 admit
or exclude the slave institution. No man

lie would vote for the emancipation of
slaves in this District. No compromise could
purchase his forbearGnce ON this point. lie
would vote any sum of money TO purchase
the freedom of slaves. lie could never con-
sent hat law TO abolish slavery in this
District should be defeated by an implied a
greement that such law should not be pas
scd at proper time.
Another feature in this compromise was
the omission Of the Wilmot Proviso in the
territorial governments. Such an omission
could not be satisfactory TO the people of the
North, and if bill should be passed without
the Wihot Proviso the spirit Of the people
would rise, and they would not leave in the
Capital one servant who knew his masters
duty and did it not.
He did not agree with the Senator from
Massachusetts, (Mr. Webster) that, by the
resolutions of annexation, Congress was.
bound to admit new States formed out of
Texas, even if they were slave States. He
thought that the power was in Congress 10
give its consent to the formation of those
new States. He never would give his con-
sen: 10 the admission Of slave Sta'e.
lie contendcd that, in the convention
which formed the Constitution, it was siren
uousy kept in view that no provision should
be allowed in that Constitution which recog-
nized slavery as property; and hence he ar
gued that the assimilation of the purposes Of
the union of the States with the nature Of a
joint-stock association was uniounded in law
and fact.
10 Il 1,a ~, oh Of
slavery as an institution. holding it to be
wrong and unjust. and that it was the duty
and within the power of Congress to resist it
now and tliat, hereafter, Congress in all
cases, upon the admission If new States,
should require, as an absolute prerequisite,
that the new State should he free one. In
regard to the territories, he considered the
power TO exclude slavery was vested in Con
gress. nor only by the Constitution, but by
the treaty-making power. The question was
should tLut power be exercised?
He was told that nature forbade slavery
in the new territories, and that the Mexican
laws prohibiting slavery were in force there.
Admitting both propositions, he still thought
IT wise and proper 10 carry the laws Of the
American Uuion into force there, even if it
was TO re-enact the laws of God.
1t has been declared that the diffusion Of
slavery weakened its influence and power.
In answer tn this he confined himself to the
simple inquiry, whether it WAS weakened by
the admission of slavery into Missouri and
Texas?
lie next advcrled to the proclaimed dan
gers to the Union. 1t had been declared by
one Senator that the Union was already dis
solved. Another had expressed an opinion
that it would be dissolved in 4 certain num-
ber Of DAYS.

from Tennessee, for the light which he
has shed upon this subject and, in
some respects. it will be seen that differ
very little from the leading subjects sub
mitted by either Of those honorable gen.

the admission Of California shall be be-
