SiR3: If the! ideas I undertook to advance on the Wilmot proviso and ihe new Consti tution of California are worth any thing:, they ou,r'it to be directly communicated to South ern members of Congress, with a view of aiding their thoughts on the subject, that no justice or erroneous censure may be done to the people and Convention of that Terri- t0A thought lias occurred to me that you may not 8nd to the "Southern preEs" for those two last numbers of At icus. referred to in my appeal. I therefore, now give you from the rough notes I retained of the last "number, such part of the evidence as I quo ted in my comments. I cut from a I newspaper containing the ap peal of the California delegation to Congress on the 1st of March lajst, the paragraphs of proof and wafyr'd in my M. S. and its gone to the "Southern press;" my comments were as follows: This looks, reads and sounds like the truth. The people and Convention of California had seen that their territorial neighbor, Oregon, could not he granted a territorial Government without the insertion ofihat rn.Miarcliical Wilmot proviso; and for that reason alone, they had been refused a territorial government: This, therefore, was what they believed to be the. sine-qua-non, without submission to which, they could have neither a Territorial or a state "Government in California granted, or approved by Con gress: for the delegation sav : "No sooner was this intelligence disseminated through out ' California, than it become evident to all " men that, the political ; complexion which . , . 1 I 1 . " I , ' I il .'JiV'U llllt alJWll 'UK ilUUIIIIUII UMtsi! nil' mm Wilmot proviso) had assumed in the At "la'itic States, had prevented Coi.gress from " establishing a Territorial Government, or 'even authorizing trie people oi I'Uiuorina ;! to form a state Government: and there " grew up at once a unanimous desire in the t: hearts of the citizens of the Territory, to "adopt .-the only feasible scheme which promised them a government, to wit; that ''of a State Government." Had they received a plain Republican form of Territorial Government, without any "Wilrnot proviso " they would have been content, and justice would have been done to the, citizens of California and to their- guar anteed rights under the Constitution of the United States. They could not constitutionally set up for themselves without some form of govern ment sanctioned by Congress : They knew thi. and hence say the witnesses ''a bitter feeling of hostility was strengthened by the failure of Congress to pass a bill establishing a Territorial Government in California." That ' failure" they had seen originated en tirely in the setted assumed will of the aboli tion and freesoil influence and power in Con gress, that the; people of California should be trameled with I the Wilmot proviso halter around their political necks, or they should never got any form of Government adopted in Congress. They saw they had to submit, under the firm 'of a" .Territorial Government. which had "failed" them, or '-adopt for them selves, the only feasible scheme which pro mised them a governmen t, to wit : that of a State Government." This is the official proof. - ' . In the "adoption of a State Government." mey uau i.ne ngnt ajrame tneir own onsu tmion,4n which they could insert the Wilmo' i . it V proviso. ineniseives, on their hendeu Knees, in obedience to that monarchical demand of the abolition and freesoil influence and power in Congress, so us to vaake it appear as a volun tary act on their part, and nothing would then be wanting, but for the abolition power to sanction it. . In a late speech of some gentleman of the Senate (I think it was Mr. Mason of Va..) he made reference and read from the debates in th California Convention, on the subject of fixing the boundaries of their new State ; in which some member of the Convention urged that lie had been advised by the Government A rent. ThosJ Butler King, to include the whole boundary of Calilornia in the Consti tution and leave nothing to quarrel about" And, consequently, ik the. whole was put in." to be covered with the Wilmot proviso, article of" '' no slavery;" thus giving up all the original limits of California to the con trol and deep; intrigue of the Abolition and freesoil influence and power in Congress, wheedling the South entirely out of any paricipation in the control of the labor for wjt cultivation of the Territory before the blood of her sons was fairly cold, who fought Mexico for that acquisition of territory South ot Oregon. I These are all recorded facts and official preot to show that, the Wilmot proviso was vprked into the California Constitution, by v'luirrn Aha it -n ntrirrno fnr the pose hereafter, of sweeping the whole con- - - - m v w . s w .pur roi oilabor or the tcAoe Territory into the J?nds of northern Abolitionists and freesnil rsv as a mailer of power and interest, and l a matterj of philanthropic christiauity, or 01 Sod fellowship with their Southern part ners in the joint and equal benefit of the Union. I shall, hereafter, refrr to Mr. Web- sters expression ot pleasure and joy, in his celebrated speech in the Senate on the 7ih of March last, that they, (him and tht other Abolitionists) had already u made Cal- lormu iree oy ner new uonsiituiiou," in which was inserted the Wilmot proviso agreeably to Lis wishes and "pledges again and again, since lb'dY." Now is there any man living, in New En gland, with two eyes and two ideas in his head, that cannot see that their article of 'no slavery." was an involuntary and not a voluntary act 1 From the whole tenor of the document of proof it is plain that the Convention would never have thought of inserting such an ar ticle in their new Constitution, had they not seeti that such a determination and sine-qua non had been given them, in the case of their neighbor Oregon, and the " refusal of Congress to pas3 a bill for California." un- . 1 TIT 1 . " I .1 1 less me vvumot proviso couiu De, ais?, in serted in their Territorial Government; and, therefore, thev had no hope oi ever beino- admitted into the Union as a State, in any oiher way or feasible scheme," but by fra ming a Constitution and insert that odious Wilmot proviso just where the Abolition and freesoil influence and power in Congress had given tnern 10, unaerstana wnere, aua now to put it, whether a majority oi the people ot California wish'd it there or not. who were never called on to vote specially on that subject, which could not be legally in serted by delegates to the Convention, with out a majority vote of the people at the bal lot box on that special article, I, therefore, repeat the suggestion in my former appeal, to wit : That I would now make it-a southern sine-qua-non in Congress, to strike that Wilmot Proviso out of the Cal ifornia Constitution, or call the yeas and nays from day to day, until the 4th of March next, and also, during the session of the 32d Con gress, or till the next Presidential election, and let all the important appropriation bills lie over, rather than the southern half of the Union shall be robbed of its inherent rightof control of its own species of labor for the cul tivation of the southern States, and lands in the southern Territories south of Oregon, and irretrievably plunged at the same time intoa nothern abolition and free soil monarchy. Let the people of California have a '-Republican form of Constitution." with the most proper boundaries for the State, without any n fci ence whatever to .slavery, or the sort of labor for the cultivation of our common moth er earth, in which the blark man ipust work for his Jivirvas well as the white man ; and then, in their own Uiiinflutneed legislative capacity, without- fear of an abolition halter or bayonet hrreafter. the' will have the right of choice and '"the benefit of clergy." to ex clude or introduce American born slave ry for an honest and peaceable living to suit them selves ; it is their constitutional right, never d legated to the Congress of the United States, but among their special -'reserved rights to the people and the States" to be their own judge in that matter. The gener al Government is delegated with power and jurisdiction, since 1808, over African slavery when imported into the country, but not the least shadow of jurisdiction over American horn slavery which is not African, but Amer- h-nn production, If Congress desire to estab lish the 31th degree of latitude or(any other degree, as a boundary line between Texas and New Mexico, in regard solely to Territo ries and States, that is all right enough, pro vided the primary object of such lines and !:cornpromises" is not to rob tjie south7 in her own half of the Union, ot the control of her own labor in the cultivation of the soil. Such lines, when established, without legal juris diction over American born slavery, for such an abolition purpose, is deemed in its true character, as a monarchial invasion of the rights of the people and the States south of Oregon, and not to be submitted to any longer. Congress has no more legal right to interfere with the labor of American born slavery, than it has to interfere with the la bor, system and mot'e of government of '-the operatives" in northern Factories. The south has been led into an erroneous precedent and system ever since the admis sion of Missouri of "compromising" away her Territory in the southern half of the Union, and the control of her own species of labor in such Territory,for no equivalent whatever, except a false hope J,o buy a magnanimous peace, Jl is time she should have an under stood boundary line tor her half of the Union, and some settled plan and system to work by in one solid phalanx, upon all such subjects of defence and repelling of inbasion, as this northern abolition subject. She is now with out such a system and understood boundary iae, without which she can do nothing but talk in squads and newspapers, like an im mense army fighting a gieat battle of self defence, by companies and platoons. The south ought to have her north boundary line from the Pacific Ocean first fixed on, and de clared by a proclamation from the nest meet ing of the Nashville Convention, that it may be" understood, by the nbolitionists and free soilers where to stop with their Wilmot Pro viso, and Missouri and California invasions. to rob the south of her half of the country, and the control of her own labor for the cul tivation of -the same, under xpretendid com mission from the Great Jehovah.no where laid down in the Bible, nor in the Constitution of the United States. Should any of the States now, or hereaf ter, within such declared boundary line, ever desire to emancipate, prohibit, or introduce American born slavery, under their own "State powers and reserved rights.' wheth er it be Delaware, Maryland, Virginia. Ken tucky, South Carolina. California or other States, let them do so in peaces to suit then?- selves ; but no more Wilmot Proviso's, sur reptitiously, by abolilion-and free soil intri gue for compromises," so be admitted south d such declared boundary line, and those already pointed cut by Cougress to be de clared, also, by the next Nashville Conven tion, to be unconstitutional, inoperative, null and void, and not binding on the people of Missouri,. California, Texas, or -any part of New Mexico. The great champion of Massachusetts Abo lition, Mr. Webster, in his celebrated speech.: in me oenaie on tne vtn oi iuarcn last, was honorable enough to make a declaration of the principles to which he says "he pledged himself again and again since 1837, (to the Abolition monarchy of Massachusetts) and he will perform those pledges." Hear his abolition sentiments: I quote the substance of three paragraphs about the middle of the speech, being the pivot on which the whole of that forensic performance was founded. He said he coincided with Mr. Polk for sign ing the Oregon bill containing th5 Wilmot proviso, because, in Oregon as well as in t; New-Mexico, ;'he held slavery to be ex- u eluded by a law even superior to that which admits and sanctions Slavery in Texas. l T mpn ihp lnr. rr nnhirn fhi hnr n(' physical geography, the law of the forma- tion of the earth and climate" Why, Sir. New Mexico is composed of vast ridges of mountains ol enormous neight. some timesJ broken by deep vallies. The sidesof those mountains are barren, entirely barren. Their tops are caped by perennial snows. ' There may be in California, now made "free by her Constitution, some tracts of valuable land ; but it is much iess valuable " when you get iuto New Mexico. " What is there in New Mexico that could. ' by possibility, induce any body to go there with a Slave. ? There are some narrow "strips of land upon the borders of the rivers: but the rivers themselves dry up before ' midsummer: All that the native people can-do, is to raise some little articles tor 'their own use;" and therefore, as the Wil mot proviso was entirely useless and sense- il less in Oregon, so was it equally ussless and senseless in New Mexico." ' I say, therefore sir. that if the proposition were now here lor a Government for New ki Mexico, and it was moved to i insert a prb- ; vision for the prohibition of Slavery, I would ' not vote for it. 1 would not insert ihe Wil mot proviso, to protect the everlasting " snows of Canada and New Mexico from 'the vote of Slavery." So Mr. iWebste says ihat, "among thp everlasting snows moun tains -rocks and barrens of Canada and New Mexico" where a negro! slave could not make an ear ot corn to support life, be claims and receives great honor and applause or k'ret using to vote jor the VVimot proviso o be inserted there :" But where there is my valuable land or territory, on which a negro, should he happen to be a Slave, could make, an ear of corn a potatoes orany thing else to sustain life : there -Mr. Webster went qn and said : "But. where ever there ; is an inch of land, to be stayed back from ' Decerning a &iave territory t am ready to insert the exclusion of Slavery. I am ' pledged to that from lS37,-4-pl edged to it : again and again, and I will" perform those pledges; but I will not do;a thing un- 1 necessarily that wounds the feelings of "others, or that does disgrace to my under '; standing." Here Mr. Webster honorably shows the palm of his Abolition hand. "He would not wound the feelings of the people of the South, by inserting 'the Wilmot proviso to prohibit them." from buying and cultivating with their slaves, "the ' snow toped j mountains rocks and barrens of New Mexico," where a slave could not make ap ear of corn to sus tain life: all that he would honorably, nobly and magnanimously give up to the South for Slavery: "But every inch of lind" .where a slave could make from the mother earth. wherewith to support life, he j would eject him with the Wrilmot proviso, and turn him out upon the mountains rocks and barrens of New "Mexico and Canada,' to starve to death, upon the same identical principle that the New England colonies fenced up all those tribes of Indians, on the poorest lands ihey had, that they could not dj-ive west, for ultimate famine and extermination : there is now not a Moheigan left, and several other tribes of Ihe New England colonies, all gone hence, the same way, whose hard names I now forget.: On what part of the Bible or the Consti tution, does Mr. Webster u pledge his Abo lition sentiments. Which lie says-:-'' would be a disgrace to his understanding to pro hibit slavery on the vast mountains and u barrens of, New Mexico, by aj law of Con 4i eress." where slavery would starve to death by "the law of nature,! of physical ireosrranhv and the law of the formation of the earth and climate5'? But it would he no " disgrace to his understanding to pro hibit slavery from every inch of land," where life could be Sustained by a negfo slave, from the cultivation of the earth, and "to that" (he said) u I am pledg'd from 1837-pledg'd to it again and agajn and I will perform those pledges." This is .he sum and substance of Mr. Webster's long speech, and itj requires no further comment than to say, I have never read in the English languages stronger or more inveterate principles of monarchy ad vanced by the crowuM heads of Europe, even the Autocrat of Russia. j I did not sing a Southern Rosauna to Mr. Webstei for that speech, the wTords don't fit the Southern tun of 42, South of Oregon. He had got the Wilmot proviso), inserted, by Abolition influence, done in j California, " now made free by her Constitution," was hii expression, vritji great apparent pleasure and joy. by the "Abolitionists and freesoilers. '-sjealing a grand march" on the South, in order, beforehand, to relieve themselves from thetroubIe and uncertainty of being able to insert: it in Congress: -but Congress" has the same, and more Constitutional right, to strike th at Wil mot proviso out of the Cali fornia, Constitution, than it would have had to insert iL r -:; .

I , 1 . 1 .1 Li-i n . ' oui auopieu uie general iAjrovernmeni as a common, or general Agent, to do for- them for the common good.", I The South has never fasked Congress to legislate on any thing, jarelatjon tothe do mestic affairs and " State reserved rights to the people" of the northern half ofjthe Un ion. It would look far more decorous for trie-North to attend lo their own half of the country, and their northwestern territories and Oregon, and let the South ajoiie. I have noticed for several years past, that Mr. Webster in all his great speeches in Faneuil hall and elsewhere, even in his speech in the Senate of 7th of March last, in speaking of any great anticipated north ern change in the Government, invariably asks the following question, to wit Where shall I go"? If I was call'u on to; answer that question on oath, L would betcompell ed to say " wherever iMr. Webster may go," in the management of Legislation, oi the Government, lie will inTuse the princi ples of Massachusetts monarchy. Te lead ing men of that State, have "always been advocates for 'a strong Government" or in other words a monarchical Government, Which they commenced to establish in Con gress, jn the days of " the elder j Adams," with their " Alien and edition laws" against the " freedom of the precs. and the liberty of speech." 5 j Mr. Webster and his Extensive jcircle of northern friends, can have no just grounds of complaint, if we exercise pur public; right to draw aside all his rich vails of oratory and captivating powers of eloquence, flowers, tropes and figures of that celebrated speech, and permit him to stand erect before the Re publican portion sV the j people of the South and the North, in his own Abolition " pledge" Joo king-glass. When he sold himself, 4i in 1837," to those Boston and Massachusetts Abolitionists, which he says he did do ''again and again" (from the manner of his expres- j sion, it seems they doubted his natural Re- publican principles to stick to the f bargain, without a double and treble "pledge") he sold a great mind, and by nature an Ameri can magnanimous soul,! to a second hand English market. j j There is a deep, long laid plot arid system of conspii acy, been growing up in New Eng land and spreading into other northern Slates, and old England, against the southern States and southern Territory, ever sincej the ad mission of Missouri. Had there j been no difficulty in 1819 and '20, about Missouri, on account of the northern aholitionisjs raising an unconstitutional dispute, on the feubject of j southern slavery, the British West India ne groes would never, to this day, have been emancipated by Parliament. It is proper I should give my reasons for this assertion, as! follows First : I have seen, read and heard enough, in the course of my life and travels-65 years to convince myself that some of the old; English Lords, and their sons after jjthem, will I never forgive their once North American col-j onies for their successful Revolutiori of 1776. i When they saw the seeds of monarchy and j Texas, previous lo annexation ; he, therefore, rebellion spring up in the NewS Englnnd said : " I deem it my duty to set the honor States, in 1819 and '20, at the admission of ''able Senator from Massachusetts right. Missouri; when the Briiish wounds of the j " I did not put it (the corresponence) upon war of 1812 were not allhealed, it is natu-; "the ground assumed by the Senator. 1 put ral to suppose that some of thff English i i; it upon this ground ; that, great Britian T.r,r,ta nnrl m in ist r v rnii I. li not hfil n tin r spp t hp. I " had announced to this government, in so rrononsitvof the New EWland States, from ! the Hartford Convention1 and the! Missouri i contest, to run into a monarchy ; and that so; great an opportunity ought not to be lost, for ' the want of an effort on ftheir part, for thej future aggrandizement f powerj and the j throne of England. They therefore com- menced the plot and agitation, in about the! year to jcsl'o, oi preparing tjie puunc mind at home, and in their British West In dia Islands, for the passage of an Aet by Parliament, for the ernaricipaiion of the ne groes of all their West India Islands which they finally consummated on the 2Sth of Aug. 1833. In the mean time, the smothered Mis souri abolition coal was fanned and kept alive in the New England States, andjbegan to break out again in places, from 1S27 to 1830. fed by the kindling flame from across the At lantic, from what was going on. at every ses sion of Parliament, to get up the double ob ject of the West India emancipation, for in fluenceand effect on the New England States to do likewise in tub country, for a certain ul timate sinister object, more than from any real principle of philanthropy andl christian benevolence iii those English Lords and min istry, with their West India Islands on the ; south side of our southern States, and Cana da on the north. It is not in the history of the English Parliament to expend any great amount of their public money, as in the case of mere pacifying of the owners ol those West India negroes, without some ulterior sinister object. No other object is so visible as the lontr secret nore mat som lanjnnie orjDjortunitr miht offer at some period, for, reclaiming the United States, in part or thej to get the old Licm pawr back on the Um whoie, by making an abolition :fcate-pawof ted Sutes; and tbe Northern Abolitionist? New England, to produce a dissolution of the American Union" and civil war in this coun try ; and whilst the north and the south might be foolishly fighting about an abstract and irreligious idea of southern slavery, the 'old "British Lion" would then have his owri;op- port unity and excuse o stretch forth his '-long p-uy," rctakef possess ion under some color of histud colonial title, of the northern as well as the southern States, and, thereby, in the end, make a greater percent speculation on the money exiHimJd m-bi West titdtft'trrj-nr cj.se, than any ol our most fortunate adven turers to California. The first British emissary and travelling lecturer I ever heard in the northern States, was in Providence, R. I- in May, JS3I, (but tney pad been ffradualv accumulating in New England 3 or 4 years,) nine months after tne nnai passage ol the British West India emancipation act, on the 28th of August, The New England States western New York western Pennslvania and Ohio, were then overrun with travelling English Lords, public writers, emissaries and Abolition lectu rers, both men and women, from about 1S33 to 1839.'; they then disappeared. Lots of nor thern native born Americans embarked in the traveling and Abolition '-lecturing busi ness;'5 and I distinctly remember, it was said in several northern newspapers that some of them, it not all did receive "British secret ser vice money." for thejr traveling expenses and lecturing services. Many of them were un able, in their own funds, to do such work and spend their whole time night and day, for 7 or 8 years, travelling about the country from Vermont and Maine to Illinois, without hire and pay from a "secret source." For what ostensible object did the "World's Abolition Convention" assemble a few years ago in London, which was stocked with dele gates from the New England and northern States? England had no black slaves at that time in any of her dominions to emanci pate : she had done her work, through par liament, in her West India Islands, and be gan to feel impatient for the great anticipa ted reward in the United States. She had no practical aim with that Convention on France, Spain, Italy, or other Governments in Europe. There can be no other reason able conclusion, therefore, than that, it was got up and intended primarily, to influence and a&ect the American Missouri Abolition fire, and gradually lead it along, and feed it with stimulated northern Abolitionists and freesoil ers. until they, as "cats-paws," to carry out the secret object of that "World's Convention'and the West India emancipa tion, shall blow it, in Congress, into a great national fire of dissolution of the Union and civil war. If the American States can remain "Uni ted," it is known in Europe that no nation on earth can whip them in war: but, if thpy can be got divided and plunged iuto a civil con flict with each other., about the false abstract idea of Slavery, or any thing else, then there would be a chance for old England to re establish monarchy in this country. It is considered among Monarchs, the business and interest of all monarchies, to put down the principles and Governments of Republi canism if possible, throughout the Globe : and all plots, stratagems and intrigue are considered "fair in war, or politics," when carried out for the benefit of the "divine right" of tyrants. Another important and positive proof on mis suniect, to show. there was a connexion between l,,e admission of Missouri, and Brit jsn emancipation ot tnose vyesi India ne groes, fell from Mr. Calhoun, when he rose in the Senate on the 7th of March last," to correct Mr. Webster, in that part, of his celebrated speech, in allusion to Texas. Mr. Calhoun was Secretary of State, and held the correspondence with England and "many words, that her object was to abol- slavery in Texaa (it she could get it M YT unrrnhotinri -ltrl trtnf i I nnn 1 hrrnrrh " Tex'tfc in the United States. And the " ground I put it upon was this: that, if " Great Britian succeeded in her object, it " would be impossible for our frontier to be "secure against the operations of abolition " isls, and that this government was bound " to protect us. under the iruarantees of the Constitution, in such a state of things." Here is a chain of positive and strong cir cumstantial proof, going back to support my assertion respecting the difficulty in the ad mission of Missouri into the Union, in 1819 and 20, as the source and fountain from which, all these great Abolition and freesoil streams have since flown over the Parlia ment of England, and her West India Is lands -also" inundated the " World's Con vention" in London, and now in full way, if not checked in tne oaiuorniu, , yonsuiu'.ion. to overflow all the Southern States and Territories sou h of Oregon. Mr. Calhoun was never known ' to be wrong in a positive statement of a positive fact: He, "set Mr. Webster right," by stating (he fact, that -Great Britain had " announced to this Government, in so many " words, that her object was to ajbolish Sla " very in the Uniteu States througff Texas," if she "coufd get possession and the sole con trol of that tern itory, - by. negotiation and treaty.---;: r- . , ' - - ; -' . Had she got Texa. there would soon have been an opening found tor another war. on the subject ot Slavery, as a mere excuse and freesoilers were bound; (no doubt in my mind) at the " World's Convcntion."to be come the Abolition Allies at the North, of the -Lions paw" in Texas, tie then antici pated j but Mr. Calhoun, then in power ua Secretary of State, saw the, British trap set for the 15 Slave States, and took Texas in,ta the Union the shortest way, by annex ation, out of the reach of the British Lion, and aved the Southern States, nt that lime, "very-much against the will and with fs cfMf Webster and all other Northern Abolitionists and freesoilers. I leave this subject with my best wishes for the South, and a sate and final deliver ance from all these monarchical Abolitjon snares of "compromises," intended for her ruin and destruction at no very distant day, un less the ' Wilmot proviso" can now be struck out of the California! Constitution. "With deference nnd high respect, i ATT1CUS. i SHIP NEWS.
