be extended Or not The Northern States have
by their Legislatures, almost unanimously re-
solved that it shall not. The Southern have
with equal unanimity, resolved that it shall. On
this question the preservation of the Union de-
ponds. If the North with its numerical majority
in the House of Representatives, and the cO-ope-
ntion of certain members of the Senate from
the South, who do not represent the South,
shall persist in refusing preventing the terri
torial extension Of African slavery, the days Of
the Union are, or soon will be, numbered. This
is plain and practical question which cannot
be evaded And it happens that the North, can
with the aid of its Southern allies in the Senate
decide it. We say il, happens, because if Mr..
4 Clay or Dir. Benton had announced to their re-
spective States of Kentucky and Mssouria de-
termination to resist or prevent, by any means,
either direct or indirect the territorial extension
of slavery, neither Of them would now have a
seat in the Senate. sN 4Ae.7 ps7d re h
When, therefore, this became a question of
Union Or Disunion, WEE looked with solicitude
to those statesmen Of the North distinguished
for their professions of attachment to the Union
and among them TO Mr.. WEBSTER. We ex-
pected them to represent the Northern love of
! Union, and we expected that they would be
able by their reputation and ability---and be
willing in accordance with their frequent and
emphatic declarations to maintain that justice in
| the exercise of Federal power without which it
would be folly to expect the Union could be
preserved For we thought Il clear that IN this
controversy the South asked no fayour--lbut as
| serted only right.
