once at a public hotel in Adrian say, that when
General Cas- wrote his famous letter avowing
his Anti-Wilmot Proviso doctrines, that he
must have been deranged, or out of his head, for
nobody in their right mind could deny the right
of Congress to prohibit Slavery in the Terrific

McClelland, IA Wilmot Proviso Democrat he
came out in his message with very different
views We have but little doubt that Stuart
has sold out to Hunkerism We shall mark
these traitors to Freedom when the time comes
right. Our Governor elect (MeClelland,) we
believe, maintains the integrity of his princi-
pies, and was nominated for Governor to keep
him out of the United States Senate.

EXTRACTS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE

Honeddle Dec. 90, 1852 sincerely thank
you for your able exposure of the abominable
prescription, in the Senate, of Messrs. Hale,
Sumner, and Chase. Ii is decidedly rich u
hear Mr.. Bright speak of these gentlemen al
being "outside of bealthful organizations"
when every new development shows the cor
ruption of the old parties. Consistency, thou
art indeed jewel and none the less so when
found in Congress.
