O-The Lafayette Courier propounds to several
questions. which it gives great pleasure to answer.
We take them in order.
1st Did the North yield nothing when she gave
Texas territory enough make States of the size
OF Indiana, TO which she had no sort oil claim what
ever2
In that transaction the North gained peace with
Texas and the whole South and gained the Territory
Of New Mexico free territory which before slave
territory. gain which ought to rejoice the heart Of
abolitionst.
3D. Did the North yield nothing in the ten millions Of
dollars given to Texas bonusl
The North yielded the millions, of which the
South paid their equal portion, and Texas yielded the
slave territory to freedom. The yielding there was
mutual.
3d Did the North Weld nothing in permitting the
territories of Utah and New Mexico to be annexed
without clause prohibiting the introduction of that
cursed institution, Slavery!
The North yielded nothing. Utah came free,
and must remain so until made slave territory by the
action of the people, which Corr has power to
control.
The people by Convention, in New Mexico, had al
ready declared against slavery and when they form
State Constitution and act in their sovereign capacity
State they will have undoubed right to estab
sh their own domestic Institutions Your wilmot pro-
viso, therefore, would have avaied nothing. There is
just much security against slavery without it with
il.
4th. Did the North yield nothing in giving to Texas
the privilege whenever she chooses TO form out Of her
territory many slave States she chooses, thus pa
cling the power Of the u s. Senate in the hands oil the
Southl
That was no part of the compromise measures, but
part of the treaty of annexation, and without that
right, Texas would have consented to become a
part Of the Union. Not exactly many she chooses
either; but any number not exceeding four.
AS to your story of Northern doughfaces to do the
bidding OF the Southern slavebo lers &C., such language
is much better suited for speech in abolition
vention. than for an editor claiming to be democrat
and friend Of the compromise measures, fugitive slave
law and all Try and coin other word, or tell us
who and what you when you talk about dough-
faces. We have not copy Of the abolition dictionary
or we might know the meaning.

We learn from the Oregon Spectator of the 2d Sep

A whig Convention.

The following is the vote of the Wing nominating

On the third ballot, Mliner, the white man, was no.

result, says
The woolly' Wing Convention held this afternoon,

THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1851.

| 1.-THE vote of Indiana the question of adopting
the 18th Article of the New Constitution, which prohb
its the emigration Of negroes and muattoes this State
proves conclusively that there prejudice
against the blacks, which cannot be eradicated This
prejudice has always existed where different races and
castes have inhabited the country In the North
free States Of the Union this prejudice has been
greatly increased and the natural hostility aggravated in
many instances into deadly hate, by two causes.
First, the ndscreet and mpruden friends of the
gro have claimed for him equal soccl and political prvi-
eges--they have claimed for him the common domcil
the the church, and at the table and the
fresde with the white man. who is, and always Will
claim superiority the negro.
Second the conduct Of the negroes themselves They
have, in many instances, joined with the abotonsts in
denouncng the government the laws and institutions Of
the white man. They have, at Chrstiana and Syracuse
resisted the execution of the law by the regularly
horized officers of the government-they have mbued
their hands with the blood of the white man. and to ag-
gravae the matter still further conventions and meet
ngs of negroes being holden in different parts
Of the country approving the conduct OF the Chrstiana
murderers These proceedings instgated by white
who hate the government under which they live and
which gives them protection-whose hearts are backer
than the skins of their sable companions.
At of these meetings recently held in Columbus
OHIO, the following resolution adopted:
Resolred That the noble. honorable and manly
example of the Chrstiana patriots, and their friends
well worthy the imitation Of every colored in this
country, whether bond lfee when his liberty assa
ed.
ResoLred, That recommend the employing Of an able
counsel from this State by the cJlored people of Ohio
assist in defending the Chrstana heroes unlustly
confined in prison. indicted for against the United
States, and that appoint committee to confer with
people in other parts Of the State touching this SUBJ
ject
similar effort is being made by the notorious
Henry c. Wright and others who arc traversing our
State TO induce the persons of color aid resisting
the execution Of any law which may be enacted pre-
vent the further emigration and settlement Of negroes in
this State. They will be recommended to into the
State in violation of the law and the Constitution and
armed to resist to death, any attempts that
may be made them and the persons of color
residing here will be encouraged give aid and
protection such wantonly defiance all law and
authority Such conduct will only increase the preju-
dice already exsting and must result in consequences
fatal to those who engage init We hope all peaceable
and quiet coorcd persons in this State WILL long
they remain among u.s. show their good by sub.
milting the law We tell them heed the advice
of those who recommend resistance law. They are
enemies and not friends.
