After tho close of .Mr. Stevenson's speech, the meeting adjourned lor dinner. In the evening Mr, Kciiknck, in an interesting and impressive speeeii of moru than two hours, gave an account of his stewardship, and the proceedings of Congress upon tue war bills. He was followed by Mr. Con iv in, in a most impassioned and eloipient address upon the war nnd its consequences, ami the duties of the people of the United Slates in reference to the war. 1 have had the pleatmre of hearing Mr. Convin frequently, but never did I henr come from his lips any thing that excelled this speech.

These proceedings wuru chiefly in the form of a series or resolutions, vyliie.li declared nguiust a iNatioual ttank, a Protective Tarilf, Internal Improvements by the General Government, mid the distribution of the proceed uf sales of the public lands, and in favor of the Independent Treasury, the right of Texas to annex herself to this Government, and, in general terms, 111 favor of the obligation of the United States nowto protect and defend her territory. The preamble and resolution under which immediately Mr. Wilcox acted iu addressing Gen. T.iyior, were as follows : il hrrciij, ihe Whig parly, through their parly press, and through public tueeliugs, have aoheilcd Gcu. Taylor to become ft candidate for lh Chief Magistracy of this Union, and have, ut various times ex pressed a desire that he should give no expression of his political principle ami opinions ; and trherms, the democratic party, eulert aiuing the highest respect aim graiiiuiie lor Hie distinguished services of General Taylor, cannot, nevertheless, uive their siitinorl to any man foi the ollice of President, without tirsl ascertaining his political principles and opinions, therefore, Ucwlrrd.

I cannot so are the tune from my ollicial duties to devote lo Ihe investigation of uiose su.iji eis wmcii llieir importance seem lo require, to enable me to reply to th"iii iu u way lhat would be satisfactory to myself, much less so to your honorable committee. 1 must therefore say in this instance what I have slated to others on like occasions, winch is, that i mu no politician, near lorly years ol my hfe have been passed in the military service of the Republic, most of winch in the field, the camp, 011 our western frontier, or in the Indian territory, and 1 may say with great propriety for the most part constantly on duty, the lait two in Mexico, or on it immediate borders, during which tune 1 have not passed one night under the roof of a house ; you may therefore, very readily tnij.. ......

Jtut many important change in our uli'urs al home and abroad may taku place belween ihts and the lime for holding the election t'u tilling said ollice, so much so, a to make it de-sin able for the general good, tint some individual other than myself should be selected as a candidate for tint station, and could he be elected, I will not say lhat I would yield my pretensions to thai distinguished position, for I have int the vanity to believe I have any, but 1 would not only acqmenee with pleasure in siieli an arrangement, hut would rejoice tint the lie. public had one citizen more worthy and belter qualified than I am, and 110 doubt there are thousands, to diicharoe the arduous and important duties appertain-ing t that high miice.

Mr. Thuall 1 regret that wmiu of our lug Kd-ilors are denyinjr thu Wilmot I'm vise as il is called, nnd endeavor to narrow down the issue between tho Wlntrs and Mr. I'olk to the one point of oppoiing the extension of territory ; whilu others deny that opposition lo the extension of slavery constitutes any portion of the WIiii- creed. J regard the present timens most unpropitious to attempt any change of our polit-iial faith. Indeed 1 should regard a change in the fundamental doctrines uf our party at this time as fatal to its success. We are conscious lhat on Iho lh of August, 1HIH, Mr, Upshur, in his lelter of instruction to our Charge de Affairs, in Texas, put lorth tho doctrine that it im the. duty of the frdrr l gortrnmrnt to uphold and sustain the institution of slacrry; And to effect that object it was necessary to annex Texas. Annexation was merely tho means of attaining tho ultimate design of supporting slavery. Mr. Calhoun, his successor, tho champion of southern slavery, rc-aflirrned and enforced Ihr doctrine ; nnd still maintains it in the Senate and elsewhere, and is now unceasing in his etl'orls to establish it ; and in this he it supported by tho entire " democratic " party o (he South, while' the Whigs there dare not now meet Jtiiri on that issue. Not so in H (4, .Mr. ('lay, in his speech at Haleigh, took issue upon this doctrino. At the close nf lhat address he defined ihe position of the Whig parly and gave a vnonsisof principles, in lanininia' of no unequivocal iinnort, i-flc declared that "is preservation exclusively In the rrrerat. States of their aim local and peculiar in.ttfu lions," constituted the !Uh article nf taith contained in tho Whig creed. This summary of Whiif doctrino was published throughout the Cnited States by thu Whig press, and wns aimroyed by alt an far as tho knowledge of the writer extended. It is, however, true, lhat when tins speech of Mr. Clay was revised by him, alter his return to Lexington, ihe Bvnopsia of whig doctrine nt its oloso wag omitted. And when lhat edition appeared, Mr. Clay was written to enquiring the cause of the omission? He replied that II was entirely unintentional, and lhat ha would supply the omission at the earliest appropriate opportunity. Accordingly, on the &l of Septetn-her lollowing, in Ins letter In the Lexington Observer, he repeated " That thi; i isti:nc m a i kta ik fn c e Ann to. rifiUAm r. oi- that iss-muTins, ur.vT.nn rx- ci.usivr.i.r upos Tint pnwrn and autiioiutv or thf. sTATrs is which it is siti;atf.i." Mr. I'pshurand Mr. Calhoun insisted that tho federal Government was bound to support and extend slavery Mr. ('lay and the Whin party look issue on this point, insisting that it was a Slate institution, with which tho federal government hail no power to interfere ; ami this wan the exciting issue in I hio during that campaign. The legislature of every Whig stale north of Mason's and Dixon s hue passed resolutions against the extension oi (Slavery. Whig Ldilors, and Whig orators and Whig statesmen dwelt upou it as of transcendent im portance. I h annexation of Texas was opposed mainly upon the ground that it would extend ihe slave power. Thai the slaveholders of Texas would hold in Ihe federal government, a power and influence pro. portioned to the number of their slaves, counting five slaves etpial to three of our intelligent people of Ihe north, so that if each freeman there should held Ave slaves, his voice in the federal government would be equal to fmr of Dm frco electors of our own stnte :" These terms of Union were declared disgraceful to tho people 01 ine irert stales: lo consign our interests and our rights to the keetmij nnd control of foreien slave holders upon such unequal and degrading terms, constituted the main and principal objection to the an neialion ot lexas. Ami sir, when the attempt was made in the llmi-to of Representatives to attack tho condition of excluding slavery from the territory an nexed, every Wing uorih of Mason 'a and Dixon's line, promptly met the issue. The democrats " as a party maintained the doctrine of .Mr. Calhoun, and elected Mr. 1 oik, and annexed Texas with her slavery. Hut 1 oiiL'ht to say, that thu Wlntrs of no state met tho proposition of extending slavery more promptly and frankly thnu those ot Viuuinia ; or opposed it witu stronger arguments than were put tortli by tho Whig executive committee of that Slate in their Dub. hshed address. f:raiii, in August A. 11.. 1 H 17, at the time tho Threo Million bill was pending in the House of Kenn-iela- tives, Ihe subject was talked over by tho Whig members ol Congress, and copies of the Proviso." as it was olfered, was made by Whigs and delivered to " Democratic " members, for the reason that if oiler- tl by them it would be more likely to sucuavd than if lie red by a Whig member. Mr. Wilmot aucccedcd in obtaining the floor ami offered tho amendment. l.verv Wfug north ol Mason & Dixon line, sus tained it. Tne Wing press of t lie entire north annroy ed and applauded the vote. A gum the same question was presented at Hie last session, ami again every northern Whig, both of the Semite and House ol Representative sustained it and tho press and tho people npproved it. And are we now to be told that opposition to tho extension ul slavery is nt a W'tng measure? Are we to lace lo ihe right-about at tho biddino of the slave power ? Shall the Whig parly now change front, am abjure its former faith, for tho reason that southern Whigs dire not maintain tho doctrines of IIi.kiii ( i.av, ami ol the whole party in IriU i It wits this doctrine sodisiinctly avowed that carried our Slate for Mr. Clay. Without it ho would have had friends on the Reserve, or indeed in the frco Males, lie dared to assert and maintain our Constitutional rights in thu respect, and we dared to trust him and confide iu him, although a slaveholder; and wo would do it ng-iiii, a thousand times sooner than we would trust a northern servile, who dare not even mention our rights or support our interests where lavery is concerned. I would assure our friend that if our nartv remains tinned, such union must In based upon the issues made by us in 1-1 1. Tho Democratic " party, al least in majority of it still inaut upon tho extenioii of ter-ntoiy and of slavery. Thry havo not changed their 1 principles, although a portion of ihvin have coino over lo us. For ihe Whigs now lo surrender tint vital principle, must d 1 -hand our party. 80 deep and so strong is (he feeling among t0 U)ailPa nf our llirty in the frco Slatea actual further concessions to the sl.tve power, lhal Ihey never will surrender or aban-don their opposition to Iho extension of slavery. It wns thu feeling pervading tho puhlui mind, lhat induced a large portion of lli.i Democratic " parly of the tree Stales lo unite with us. Thev saw and clearly understood that political death would be thrir late if they advocnte the further exteutmu of slavery. They have therelorc been driven lo Ihe support of our measures by dire necessity ; and will continue wilh us, for public senlnnent is sltenglhening daily.nnd they dnro not run counter to it 1 wiah also to add lhat a largu portion nf both political parlies will adhere to this doe. trine, manure ihu efforts of politicians and of party leaders. The inassea of northern freemen will sustain this principles and although a portion ot each party go over to Mr. Calhoun's ilnmry, the people will, I am convinced, remain steadfast upon ihe d.Kilrine asserted by Mr. Clay. Rut it it said lint opposition lo the exleminn of territory will unite our whole party bulii North and South. Such was the ease in l-l I. Vo were well united until ton trial eamis (hen Southern Whigs deserted 111 and went over lo the enemy, and annexed Texas. Have we any surety that such will not bu Ihe rasa again.' Hut why talk of uniting on this point lias a single Whig of the free States ever licritaled to op pose the rxleiuiou of territory? No, neter. What then is meant by uniimg on ihts point i Why nothing more nor less, (Inn lhal wo should give up our npp.i. silioii to the extension of slavery. W hen Iherelore Icmtory shall be acquired, we iiii'ot inbuilt to the es-ten, u M' slavery without ob;eeli..u. Do wo believe that the po.qile will Miller themselves to be thus cheat ed out of their rights I lint it is liuiat. d that if we unite n-iiinl Ihe eM ll- -non ol territory, Ihero will bo no use for the Wilmot t royiso. Such may or may not bo the case. If on the assembling of Congress the Whig party shall unite in making appropriations to withdraw the army to tho Nueces, and refuse all further auoulies of mpn ...,) Rut let a bill be brought forward to furnish men nH money to continue our conquest in Mexico, and the proviso must then be proposed by wny of amendment, and will be adopted ; nnd every Whig and every Democrat will be compelled to show his hand. He must vote one way or tho other, To continue our army in Mexico, ami at the same time say we are opposed to the acquisition of territory would constitute a most palpable absurdity. To pass resolutions declaring that we will have no more territory, and at the same time furnish men and money to conquer it, and thereby enable the President to make a treaty which shall cede to us a portion of that country, would subject the Whig party to the contempt ond ridicule of all intelligent men. We can only preserve our party by maintaining our principle. It is no tune for changing our faith. Striko the Wilmot Proviso rrom our creed and wo shall disband our party. He that takoth from tho words of this book his1 namo, shall be tuken from " the catalogue of Whigs. It is not in the power of politicians lo move the masu-es from this most cherished doctrine. On the other hand, let the Proviso be adopted, and our nrmv will itt once bo withdrawn. If you wish to avoid the extension of territory, ndopt the Proviso and your object is instantly attained. Southern Democrats declared nt the last session, as wo saw in their public speeches, that if ihe Proviso waa adopted they would vole for an immediate withdrawal of the army. We see tho same teelmg declared through tho southern press at this tune. Rut while tho slave power is beginning to yield at the mere prospect of Congress adopting this Proviso, a portion of our northern Whigs desire that wo surrender our position without trial. Such policy ia inexplicable. Yours. Bio Further Acquisition of Territory I The Union announces that "the South cannot bo expected to acquiesce in any arrangement " which precludes slavery from territory to be acquired Ibis is probable. It is equally truo that the North will nut consent lhat slavery shrill bo established in such terri-tory. Here, therefore, is a serious issue. It involves the harmony and perpetuity of the Union. Tho sub- ject itself is one which appeals directly to the sympa- line- auu prejudices OI MIO people. lo TCStriCt UlO borders of slavery is deemed a moral and political duty, upon the onu hand ; and to continue and extend it, a Constitutional r,'v,f n the other. With theso opposite opinions deep seated, and with a fixed determination, on either hand, to maintain the in at all hazards, it requires no extraordinary knowledge of tho temper of our people lo predict a fearful crisis, if tho element of contention be not removed. Our own views have been often reiterated. If new territory is to be acquired, it must come in free from the plague spot of slavery. Upon this great question, wo can, in common with the mass of the people of tho North, listen to no compromise. To do so would bo to tamper wilh treason ujruinst our country andhumanity. Hut nn honnrablo compromise is aitainablo Th; delicate anil ngitatirig question may bo settled without the sacrifice either of principle by tho people of tho orin, or 01 r.oncoiveu riglil Dy llioso ol tlio South. The basis of this honorable oomnromise is contained in Iho following amendment which Senator llcrrcn, of (Inorgin, of retrod to tht bill appropriating three millions ni dollars for tho negotiation ot peaco : Provided, always, and it is hereby declared to bo the true intent and meaning of Congrens in making this appropriation, thnt tho war with Mexico ought not to he prosecuted by this (ioyernment with any view to the dismemberment of that republic, or to tho acquisition, by conquest, of any portion of her territory ; that this Government, over desirous to maintain and prescrvo peaceful and friendly relations with all nations, and particularly with tho neighboring rc- i"""": ...-;, win niwiiya ue re.uiy to enicr upon negotiations wilh a view to terminate the present unhappy conflict on terms which shall securo the just rights and preserve inviolate the national honor of tho Uuited Stales and of Mexico: that it is esnecinllv d- sirr.ble in order to maintain and preserve those amicable relations which ought always to exist between neighboring republics, that tho boundary of the Slalo of T exas should be definitively settled, nnd that pro vision ue mnue ay me repumic ot Mexico Tor tho prompt and equitable odiustinent of tho just claims of our citizens 011 that republic." 1 no au.ipimn 01 me principle or this amendment would supercede the necessity of tho Wilmot Proviso. and avert the disasters apprehended from tbe adoption or rejection of that exciting measure. This principle would be sanctioned by the Whips of the South; nnd it would meet wilh a cordial i. spouse from their political brethren of the North. Tho lone of the Whig press, North and South, justifies tho opinion that this principle will meet with universal acquiescence. Wo need no additional territory. Our irlorions Uni on is sufficiently extended. Il confined within its present borders, and if Iho dangerous spirit of con- (ii'-n i i:nci:B,eu m una icariui crisis 01 our national history, a long career of prosperity and happiness may be justly anticipated. Rut if tho spirit of conquest ia fostered if American patriotism is to be tested by tho teal with which now acquisitions ore urged if Ihe promotion of slavery ia to bo made the lcadinr object of our government if fire and sword are to bo invok ed to build up an institution at war with Immunity and freedom if tho free spirit of tlio people of the North is to bo crushed and contemned anarchy and civil strife, the overthrow of our Republic and an accumulation of calamines fearful to contemplate, awaits us. Rut we apprehend no' such dire results. The patriotism of the people will be found adequate to the rx-istmg emergency. A kind Providence which I in a thus far led uj, will cast over us ils protecting shield, by leading the public mind to -nidi conciliatory and just measures as will save the Republic by preventing the consummation of wrong..
