The Whig Issue

We would culi special atlpulion to the ariiclc we puM sh to d.iy frota the Washngton F.r.n, ngiinsl lbo new Whig p'ntform - '-.Yo More Tcrritjrt.'' The article is an aMp an'l a sensomble one. No slich iwue wil! fíver be maintninpd by tho Whig por tv; nor, if :iitemted, uould t stand nnv chance of being succcsafd. - There can be no qviestiuii bit more ur les territory will be ocqujred : t!ie p int nt issue is, hetliprit sliall be consécrate to Freedom or Slavery. Tliis, tiie redi i-sur, ll:e wbigs daré not meet ; and thej' srek to evade it bv pre'end'ni to gol up anther whirli ís in f;iet no que:tion at all. The Angto-Saxons, with the nnergv, perceveranee and rapncitv wliich hav ever c'iaracterized them, will svpe; over thp wholê of Nnrth America. Mexico, wilh pight müüons, sevon of whom are bul partiaüy civilized, in thp end, will present bul a feeble re-;:s!etice to tlie onward ma'ch of onr countrvme. TI e question of absorption is merely one of time - whether we hnd bettpr subdue the whole country now, or take half of it.and dovour the remainder wlien we may have more leisure, and have a renewed hankering for "more room." But tbtt the Mex:cin mtion will in time be usd up by the Ang'r-Americans by purchnse, nmalgamation, conquest, or n some other way, right or wrong, must be evident t all who have attended lo the condition and chnmcteristics of the two nation?. Wef apprehend that this procrss will be attended vvith grent evils to both nations. - We íear that at the next session of Oongress, a slripof lerritory, now free, lnrge enough ti sustain a score of millions, wtll be nnnexpd to this country, to be carved up horeafter into a multitude of Slave States. So far as we can see, nolhir.g will prevent this but l,e united action of the Norlh declaring the territory thus acquired shall be free. This declaralion the principie of the Wilmot Provist mnde ; and now we see the Whigs, as fast as possible, abandoning jts support, and gef.ing up another vain and foolish cry, under cover of which ihe real i&sue may be avoided, and the dissoluiion of their party prevented. The Northern Democra's cannot nnite wiih the Whigs in the Whig issue of no more territory, the state of feeling in their party forbidding it, although they might have been firm on the Wilmot Proviso ; and the Whig leaders, in getting up this party cry for party purposes, have given to us another evidence to the mass already furnished by ihe past history of the party, that where !he interests of the Whig party are in the least involveJ, its fidelity to the cause of Freedom cannot be in the least relied upon.
