They say that if t'lu Whirs don't i!ef,-at it they will pass the Wilmot Proviso, and put it at Taylor, and if he goes this way or that way, ho will loose either in the north or tin-south. This plan is just about as sagacious sis that of making tho Mexican war iu the expectation that they would prostrate the Whigs by it aud prolong their party power, To pass the Proviso, or rather the Ordinance of ITsT, over th- new territories is precisely what the great majority of Whigs imnt to tin.

Just let the ; Ureees" and Ilanneg ans' and IJentoiis' vote as they did on ihe Oregon Bill, and we shuil have no trouble. The whole question will b.; settled, and there will bo no more ground left for faction to stand upoji. Wo only hope that the North Western lVmocrats are iu earnest about the matter. If they are, a great deal of unnecessary iii iiiou, ji-alousy, uild sectional disputes will be avoided. It will be a patriotic course; but for that very reason it will utterly fail iu districting the Whig party. The Whigs mean to do just w hat is right and patriotic, aud w hen 1 1 1 . y do tiio naliuu will sustain them. So then, if Messrs Cass, Ilaiinegan, Breeze, Hi'ight, and Co., have made up their minds no j longer to stand iu the way of Freedom then Ihe new territories will bo consecrated to Laberi. cm. auii.
