from which we extract the following
eve hold, as we ever have held, that the whig
party of the Nation was organized upon certain VI
tai Principles, and in support of certain funda-
mental Measures, which have nothing to do with
Slavery or Abolition. A whig in Alabama may
be decidedly pro- Slavery, in Vermont may
be earnestly anti Slavery, yet both be true and
sound wings, and they may act cordially together
in support OF whig principles and measures
.'Should the subject of slavery be nevertheless
thrust into the next National Convention, how can
other subjects of finterest be kept out? The free
dom of the public lands, sympathy with the tram.
pied millions of Europe, AMI other such matters
are worthy of attention /; if slavery gets is axe
ground why should liberty and labor stand back
