many of them haCe spoken their unqualified

the Offending organs cannot fail to understand.
For the present WO shall say no more, except
to recommend an early perusal of the portion
of 3ir.:Witmor!s . ' defence which we print to

prinls have madet anything by their crusade

the assertion that4the Previte was repudiated
by the people of Pennsylvania last fall to the
tune of 18,000 majority. We need 'hardly
say, what every body in Pennsylvania knows
full well, that such an assertion is false and'
collnsiveland can find no apology except in the
most unpardonable stupidity or reckless dis
honesty. We again repeat, the Proviso was
not made an issue in Pennsylvania at all, and
no one-here will pretend that it was. Mr. Bu
chanan; it is true, endeavored in his , Berks
county letter to fere° it upon us, but his ten
der was not accepted. Had it been, and Gov
ernor Shunk been identified with the pro-sla
veryists, we feel very confident that he would
never have enjoyed the 18,000 majority he
now does. We repeat, what every body in
Pennsylvania knoWs. the Proviso had nothing
to do with the result of the last election, and
he who pretends that it did talks without the
card. Mr. Wilmot was himself among the
mosthident supporters of Governor Shunk, and
while doing all he could for him on the stump,
at the same time ttbly advocated the restriction
of slavery. His district, which is nearly unani
mous in support :of that measure, gave Gov.
Shunk'a largely increased majority.

the Union. We have ever accorded to him i
talent and great amiability ; yet many of the!
'articles which appear in the Mon give evi- . 1
dente that the time ruts arrriveibwhen his repu
tation, acqftired during lorty years' in the field
of. newspaper literature, till be injured by a !
much longer continuance iiii'lliat occultation. I
le'has an undonbtettrigh to condemn Direct
Taxation,
but it would he hetterto attack the'
principle with sonic kind of dignity, and not
call it "Proviso No. 2," or a ".schente to tax
slaves." 'We intend to Speak plain upon a ,
:natter of this nature: If; an Wiest measure,
or any measure honestly proposed by one of the /
people's representatives, cAnnot!bc urged with
out the proposer.and the measure both being:
denounced in language like,that of the Unionl
'referred to, then it is' time the press should,
speak out. We kriow that the
,Union editor is,
opposed to Direct Taxation for:the support of '
Government., whether in wer•or,,peace. When
conducting the :Richmond Inquirer., ho often'
avowed opposition to Direct 'taxation, We
never saw any argument front his pen which
would lead to the supposition that he under
stood the subject of Taxation.. It is with him
enough that a portion of tfle btirden w&,uld fall
on slaves, and, as a Southern nian, he is ready
to .denounce every measure that indirectly or
remotely touches the institution of slavery.
The Wednesday subsequent to the reply of
Mr. Wiotox to the attack of the -rnion, the .
same paper prefaced his remarks with the fol
lowing strong language: . 4 , ,
On Monday last Mr. Wilmot obtained the
unanimous permission • of the house to make a
personal explanation in 'relation tit an attack
made upon him in' the Union of tlic 34 inst.
This attack we published itf :last i Monday's
Globe, and spoke of it in what we conceived to
be a proper spirit. The second uniardonahle
iilt,committed by Mr. Wilmot, was tike proposi-
WI to raise t5;0.00,000 by direct taxation.—
