Critical Condition OF the Country and Danger
Of Collisions with other Powers, and Of having
more ACQUISITIONS of Territory, and q Further
Extension of Slavery" Under thish head, among
other things, the address says:
ION the question Of the ordinance Of 1881,
the sentiments of Gen. Taylor ure believed to
be in accordance with those Of the Wings oil
Massachusetts, while those Of Gen. Ca>s are
known to be directly opposed to them. The
Democratic candidate has told us in his letter
tn \. 0. p. Nicholson, Esq, that Congress had
no Constitutional power TO exclude Slavery from
our newly acquired Territories; consequently
he would veto any bill which contained the pro-
vision of the ordinance Of 1857"
The address also says:
I'VE venture to predict that il Gcnl Cass Is
elected, slavery will he extended over New
Mexico AMI California, and in all probability
we shall. during his administration have the
Pcuublic on the Rio Grandc. or the Sierra Ma
Dire or the Island ofCuba, aided To the Union.
VIII, such additions of Southern and slave
holIin. territory, the friends Of free soil would
b.. found in Il / hopeless minority, at least III one
branch OF the Legislature, aud The glorious
causc of freedom thrown back ten or perhaps
twenty yeurs." : " 'Nur is it at I'LL irm-
probuble that the election Of Cass will make
sure the defeat of the Wilmot pr0viSo.'
Under the heading, "Mr. Van Buren,, Can'ii-
date Of the Third Party His Character, prin-
c%i,,les, and Claims for support from Wings and
other Free Soil Mrii," We find The following:

We find the following under the l~rai:-
Consequences Of thu ucw organization, and
its effects upon the election Of trnc 'ilsS and
Free Soil members Of Congress"
Our glorious old Commonwealth has at the
present time u full delegation III both Houses
of Congress, OF good men, and true upon the
question Of free soil. Mr.. Webster, in his late
speech in the Senate, and in fact in speeches
before popular assemblies made years ago. laltl
down this free soil doctrine Ut no more slave
territory. MIR. Davis, in repeated instances,
by votes and speeches. has done the Sainc.-
Our delegation in the House has always been
AS true as the needle To the pole on all GucS-
tiuuS connected with slavery.
"Thrv stand committed in word and deed in
favrr Of Tree soil principles. In slc present

There arc a lrw dissatisfied Wings who say

that the election Of GcIr. Taylor * the most
c%irctuul way Of securing the "s. jcct which We
all have at heart"
with George y. Briggs ut the head al "nr
affairs, We shall all feel that the honor at the
Commonwealth will hc preserved. AMI her vel

one who many yeas ago declared his attach
mcnt to free soil principle, not rs i mere spec
ulativc abstraction, but rs Il practical truth. hE
which his own actions wclc governed at that

In the conclusion of the address We find the
following:
~.llaviny served in the WING ranks, most Of
our friends will he fullnd al their posts "i the
