The Union and American is not Indifferent. ="

We enquired of our neighbor Of the Union
and american the other day, if it was indif.

became identified with them. The Conven-

That while she Democracy of this State will faith
fully adhere to AL the compromises of the Consttu.
ton, and maintain all the reserved rights Of the
States, obey deem this an appropriate occasion TO
declare and repeat their fre3 hostility 10 ths extension
or slavery into free territory.
Here is the Wilmot Proviso principle boldly
reiterated. and the Nas6Ville Union and amer

The Union and american ignores the exist
