UMr. Hunt is rlaht now, he must have been
very wrong then. II tne poverty, bsIrenress, @c'
Of New. Mexico eaectuslly exclude Slavery there
u,
the inhibition since tie necessity for such organ
izst.on was urgent ard undisPuted. Yet It failed
sm,ly because Mr Hunt and Northern majority
Of the House rould insert guarantees assn.t the
introduction Of Slavery, TO which the South and
msiori,y Of the Senate would 10. consent. How
statesman could then vote against the possibility OF
Slavery in New-MeIico, yet now counsel scqul-
escence aid quiet, in full view OF the fact that It
has been established there il puzzles Us TO compre-
herd.
But while il seems hard 10 understand exactly
What Gov. II. intends We see Eery clearly what he
Is dong. Not tn. Sas DULY, bu! Ths Journal Of

10 urge that the Moth has any occasion 10 fear the
South
of course, no one needs 10 be tod that this is
playing directly into the hands Of the Slave De-
mocrscy-thst it is putting words into their modths,
ard brip giDg struggling fish to their me-. And this
is NOT merely logically but historically established.
There are Messrs. L. W. Andrews and a. q. Hau,
who cot into the Legislature of Connecticut as
" Union Whigs, aud helped defeat Gov. Baldwin s
return 70 the Senate and send Isaic roucey in bis
stead. There were Messrs. Charles Chapman,
Green KeLdrick and some Others Who haze more
recently followed in the same path, and are now
DOH their worst in aid Of the Slave Democracy.
Air. Hunt doubtless knows some Of bis - National
" Wbg' associates in this State, who have recently
gone square over to Sham Democracy. We are
sure Gov. Hunt does not himself mean TO travel
that roads it wise, then, TO be putting others
upon it, Is be not aware that the "Od Line
Wig" ticket IN Connecticut is mere stool
pigeon for the Sham Democracy, nominated in it's
interest and kept up for its profit Does he want
to see three or four Cuba-.tealDg, ant-Tarif Mem
bers chosen to Congress from that State, through
the diversion created under tie guise Of Old Line
Whitsely If he does not want that, why does
be act as if be did,
