This batch of inconsistencies is again on
the tapis, and their author, who is cam
didate is trying 10 reconcile them to the pub
lie palate. A portion OF the Antics make
these resolutions, and the power of Congress
over slavery in the territories, test by
which they are governed, in voting for can
didates. Now we shall treat both these
questions as living subjects, and show that
any person who takes that ground writes
himself down an ass"
First, the resolutions take both sides of the
question, in the second and third of the Sc
ries. The second declares that an exercise
of the power by congress over the territor-
les, would be uiolation of the Constitution.
Well, if it would be violation of the con-
stitution, the upholders of the resolutions,
ifthey are honest are right in sustaining
them. But let us look at the third.
1t declares they will "Sanction the dppl-
cation of the principles of the Missouri
Compromise, TO the recent Territorial acqui-
sitions," for the sake of harmony, &c.
Well, it is proper here to inquire what are
the principles of the Missouri Compromise?
What but an act of Congress, declaring that
all the territory on one side of given line
should be slave territory, and on the other
side, free territory?
Does not the third resolution declare such
an act of Congress UNCONSTITUTIONAL? If
they believe the second resolution declares
truism, constitutional fact, how can they
'Sdnction" its violation in the third? There
is no such thing as compromising a
truth, fixed principle. Mr.. Green is an
advocate of these resolutions, yet he voted
in Congress to apply the Wimot Proviso,
Cor the Missouri Compromise, which is the
same thing,) to the territories comprising
New Mexico and California. He voted for
the Oregon Bill, with the Proviso in it. Yet
he is held up as model southern politician!
How, then, can the resolutions, the test
, and the testers, be reconciled. The reso-
: lutions conflict themselves, they conflict
with the test, and the testers preach one
G thing and practice another. They denounce
wings for opposing the resolutions, yet sup.
part men who violate them, and who are
opposed to them. They denounce wings
who admit the power, and are supporting
democrats who admit it, some of whom have
f voted to apply it. They make it a test
r when wings are candidates, and use il
!; against them, but vote for democrats occupy.
t ing the same position. Is not such conduc
: base, dishonest?
!. The fourth resolution is all right, and bu
}. for a straining of the democrats, to maxi
e capital out the slavery question, the who'll
subject would have been left where tina
resolution places it.
$ The fifth is the browning sheaf, it declare
j. should Congress pass any act conflicting
e with the principles of the other resolutions
h "Missouri will be found in hearty co-opera
