What is its effect and object? Although plain" 'in its language, and clear in its desrgn, this in. quiry becomes neccijary; from ihe covert inaoner'in whi,ch it is ronitantly availed. The whole southern press and government organs of tho nori represent it, as some. thing (hat aflocts 9r interferes with slavery in the States where slavery exists. Kvcn great m?n, when writing orspcakicg upon life subject, persist, in talking abojit ihe ABOLITION of shvery, and the lights of the -States; as if the Proviso proposed the on?; or in any respect interfered with heolker. It docs not propose, tiiher to abolish, restriet.'or in any manner to. in terfere wtih slavery, in any of the Stales! 01 this Union, ,11s sole object is, to secure from tic unlawful aggressions of slavery tfiat territory xhtch is note Jrce. Mr. Wilmot -complains of , the manner in which, the Proviso is assailed he sees the mote but eanaor see the learn. ; What docs he nncran by the "unlawful aggressions of slavery'"- U llicre,'anytliing;unlatifuP' in the institution of slavery Under the government of the linked "States? i! On the couirary, is it hot recognized and protect ed by ihc Constitution?. Is , there arjy thing in, the fundamental law; by which Pennsylvania and South Carotin are both governed which i says that this domestic insiitutioi shall tiol be introduced into new territory, of the Uniohr To ascumc that there is any thing unlawful in slavery under our - government, as it now exists .ii not ori'y 10 brg the cuesiiofc,' but to jrrvtrt and falsify the law and the I ict. . But Mr. Wilmot -cannot eo that the "Proviso in anv wav interferon with tin rjglds of the Slates. The Constitution entitles the citizens of each State to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. If ihe citizen of Pa., may migrate and; settle in new territory with his property and institutions, is il in the spi rit or according lo the letter of this constitutional equality to with' hold, the: samei privilege and immunity from -a citizen of South Carolina? Ari there to bo two a classes of American citizenship with a broad and odious line of distinction between them7" If this-, were matters of sentiment tr it would boa gross. outrage upon ! the feelings : , of tho " people of the South; hut it is a 'matter of principles j otttuty ad of right. With thcinstitu. lion of .domestic slavery, not only the in terest i but the very existence, ofour-people is identified. Every blow struck at h is a blow at -ihe viiat part of::their organization.- Property, peace, life all are bound up in .its security from ' lho nggrcisiou id otbcTS.
