"thus was a delilerate petrateaupon either the North r the South, and prpetrated, too, roughthe agenoy of a. Southern Whig ho1der, and countenanced by 8outhern Whigs. And this base game of tiea6hery and double dealing is still V. GOn. ilylor has: .not yet made known the course which he will pursue #.the event of the passage of the Wil. *,pot Proviso.. His porsonal organ in this city, the Republic, refuses to an ..awer questiqns put to it with a view to ascertain what course. Gen. Taylor designs-to pursue in relation'to this agi tating question. And to this day it is ot known whether or not Gen Taylor ill approve the Wihnot Proviso-he ifid his followvers hoping to extricate themselves from the infamous fraud and e4dcepti^on which they have practised upon the country by the .accidents of the, next twelve months, which they hopf may -introduce California as a sov. ereign .State in the Union, and thus Preventthe exposure of their shameful ,ciiations connected with the Chief .a 'istracy of this great and proud Re. But even this is not all. Southern Whigs aided in nominating and electing Millard Fillmore to the office of Vice -President, who is an avowed AboLt'onist, and isin favor not only of the Wilmot .oviso, but of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and of the interdiction of the slave trade between the States. This is another undeniable anddamning fact, going to show the treachery of Southern Whigs to South em intereste.- Many more might be named, such as the election by Southern votes ofRobert C. Winthrop, a North. -ern Whig Abolitionist, to the Speaker's -chair, and the appointment by Gen. Taylor of Messrs. Ewing and CoUlmer to his. Cabinet, two well known Aboli tionists and Wilmot Proviso men--the latter voting for every Abolitionist pro. position while he was in COngress, even .Gott's resolution to abolish slavery ir. this District; and the removal by Gen. Taylor of Northern Democrats who * have constantly and uniformly, in Con ,gress and out of it, voted for and sup. ported the interests of the South. Such are the facts which in our minds conclusively convict Southern Whigs of treachery to Southern interests. They cannot be denied because they stand out in bold relief upon the record's of Congress and the country. Nothing but the most reckless mendacity will venture to deny that ten, nay six years ago, the great body of the Northern Democrats stood firmly and faithfully 4;y the interests and rights of the South, while the Whigs of the iNorthi were (lhen and have ever since been, the enemies of the South: None will deny that from that time until the present, South ern Whigs have been in political alliance with Northern Whigs in hunting down and destroying Northern Democrats, wvho are the true friends of the South. Is it strange, then, that Northern De mocrats should become disheartened, aind in the end disgusted with the black ingratitude and treachery on the part of the, Whigs of the South, and should change their course, and in self-defene take the samne ground upon the subject of slavery which Northern Whigs have always taken, without incurring the censure of-their allies of the South? We are not surprised that such has been the. result, ulthough we are deeply grieved that Southern interests should be betrayed by Southern mten, and Southern rights struck down by South ern hands. Now, what is the remedy? It is for the people of the South to hold Southerni Whigs responsible for this rminal betrayal of Southern interests. Letb the traitors to Southern interests he called to account for the treason, which 'have commnitted, by the people of * outh, wifom they have deceived, cajoled, andatlast betrayed.

In rance they mean the right of the minority to 'gov ern--the tight-toalain any mansproperty iuhe right.to violate the* constitution, and the right-toestablish-a-tnnirehy uil1er'th6 namo of repub ic. Any meaning may be attached to those words in different parts of the world In the United Statestthey .mean; annoying, one section of the Union against another,.and ea citing's ictitious sytiipathy in' favor: 6f.negro emanaicipatibn to cover-political' objects of di vision. The -liberty :party," so called,- of which Gerrit Smith . is- the leader, recenty -held a state conventiori'at Syracuse, and among the resolutions adopted' we find - the following: . -: Rtesolved, That instead of sending Bibles among th slaves, we had infinitefy bettor adopt the suggestion of the memorable liber typarty.addras to the slaves, and supply them with pocket compasses; and, moreovni-, if individual-or private self-defence be ever justifiable, and on their part ever expedient, with pocket pistols alo-to the-end that, by such helps, they may reach a land where the can both own a Bible and learn to read it.' The pistol is for the slave to 'shoot his mas ter, and the compass to guide the fugitive to a place where he can be safe against the provis ions of the constitution. Then the "jree soilers," another body of po litical experimentalists, propose a union of the democracy, based upon a recoguitiori of the abolition doctrine. Now and then atedi tor, filled to the brim with patriotism and hu manity, utters a long homily in favor of our "glorious Union," which is in danger from southern nullifiers, though probably that edi tor is a lineal descendant from the Hartford conventionists or Essexjunta men; and, to cap the climax, there is Old Bullion running about the country, crazy to be elected again to the Senate, and preaching in favor ot the Wilmot proviso to one batch of politicians, and turning it into ridicule to gratify another classi Here is a' beautiful picture of our country for the true friends of liberty to 'con template and dwell upon when the model re public is referred to. The unhappy south which has had slavery fastened, upon it by northern importations from Africa, and north ern cupidity in carrying; on thle traffic-goaded almost to madness, first by the michinations and intrigues of England, then by northern fanatics, and now by unprincipled politicians, on this very slave question, says-"Let us alone. If slavery is an evil, it falls upon us, not on you. We are the only true friends of emancipation, for willingly would w6 get rid of our slave: if it could be done witi safety; but we will not allow our rights-secured by the compromises of the confederation-to be violated. Our attachment to the Union is ar dent and sincere-our liberties were cemen ted by the blood and patriotism of our revolu tionary' fathers; but we cannot be made slaves in the country which we assisted to make free, we cannot remain as states in the Union, to be trampled upon by other states in the confederacy." "Do you hear the nullifiers?" says Old Bullion; "they threaten!" "Mark the traitorsi" say the abolitionists; they threa ten to dissolve our glorius Union." "Let's unite," say the free soilers, "in preventing the extension of slavery"--meaning to unite against the political power of the south. Eng land quietly looks on and says to herself "The model republic is caving in. Old Lord Chatham was in error in supposing that men could govern under the largest liberty. The chain will yet snap, Washington and[ Jefrei son's theory was beautiful on paper, but it never can survive a single century. The New England states, which originated the rebellion against England will return to h r original loyalty, and we will reduce the south to submission and lay waste her cotton fields and rising~ factories. They must look toius for supplies hereafter.' So that from abroad as well as at home, trom foreign gold and cr rul-t politicians in the land-nihe country of Washington, Jefferson, and of Patrick Henry -the Moultries, Pinkneys and afarlons-the Lowndes, Calhouns, Crawvfords, Macens and Mangumns, is to be driven off frein the re. public of their owvn formation in part, by the open violation of the federative coiqpact, un der the fictitious pretenceof being friendly to emancipation. The worst feature in the wvhole of this movement consists in the deception practiced upon the people. Politicians who wvere 'in debted to the south for thirty years of office, and who were always :devoted followers of the slave states, having obtained all that could be had of power, are now trying what capital is to be made by taking sides against the south; and the people, honestly opposed to the extension of slavery, are excited on the sub ject by the false and malicious appeal of lea ders. The north is gradually and perceptibly confederating against the south on this ques tion, and while they play ouit this evident card of disunion, they charge the south with dis union projects if they hold a meeting in de fence of their rights. Things are assuming a serious aspect oni this question Vargidtia is united to a man; North Carolina, a quiet state, begins to be moved on this question; South Carolina has but a single voice; Georgia wvill not seperate i romi the south; and when all honorable efforts are exhausted to save the Union, the north will an ake to its danger, and the blow, though late, wvill fall heavily on the conspirators. There is however, in thme yeomanry of the north, no disposition to countenance these fanatical attacks on the south. They have yet to move on the subject, and when they raise their arm against these combined aboli tion and free soil movements, "Trerrible will it fall on oruahed rebellion."

We must learn to disregard such unfounded and unjust charges, and manfully do our duty, to save both the Union and ourselves, if it can be done consistently with our equali ty and our safety; and if not, to save our. selves at all events., In doing so we should but follow the example of our Washington in the great struggle,'which severed the union between the colonies and the mother country.'" pregnant illus tration which we trust will benefit both friends and foes.
