Cs.FThat is true. We have not taken pains to tell
our readers that the Two wings in the Senate of New
Hampshire at the last session, voted against reso-
luton to approve ofthe of the Congressman from
New Hampshire in favor of the Wilmot provso-ror
have we taken the pains to tell them that call the wings
in that legislature voted against that resolution, and
every democrat in favor of it, Our for not
having told them is that we do not think it truewe
do not think any such resolution offered at the last
session of the New Hampshire Legislature. Let US
have the proof
/ We did tell them, however, that the Legislature
of New Hampshire at its last session, passed resolu-
tions approving the Compromise Measures and pledg-
ing the State to aid the Executive in carrying them
into full effect. These resolutions were adopted in
the Senate by vote of Ten to Two-Euery Democrat
voting for them, and the Only THO Wings in that

cit will strike the reader as not little remark
able, that Mr.. Marshall and the other conformists
of Mr.. Fillmore, should have attempted to make
Mr.. F. strong in New York, by placing him be-
fore the Wings of this State with such creed and
platform Are they SO very verdant as not to
know, that because Mr.. Fillmore was the poten-
tial instrument of passing the compromise, that
two successive Wing State Conventions, and tsOo
Successive Wig Legislatures haze refused to utter
one acord Of Endorsement Of him or has admnistra-
ton. though mach importuned from Washington
to do so-Gnd lastly, that By vote Of sirty to one,
a Wig legislative caucus suggested General Scot
as their first choice for the Presidency? When
such clear manifestations of Wing opinion are be-
fore them, can they suppose for moment that a
man who makes the compromise fnality' his
test, can receive any considerable countenance 10
this State Ii the convention should adopt thai
1 sectional test and nominate Mr. Fillmore, ali the
best exertions of all the press and politicians in the
State could not poll sixty six per cent Of the Whia
vote for our ticket. Nor do we believe that there
I is single free State that the Wings could carry
on that issue.
This is proof conclusive that the Argus in saying
that the men who brought Scott forward at the North
aembodied all that was sound and conservative amongs
the Northern people," Another point is this Mr.
Fillmore had in the convention delegates from
New York only, aud it is clear thathe either did no
represent the Sound and conservative opinions Of tn
people Of that State else the people Of that Stat
were misrepresented in the two State conventions

"WHAT DID HE MEAN!--Gen. Cass

This is hard question to answer
