Took at the public' meetings which have been held all over New Eng- land, in New York, Philadelphia, and elsewhere in the North, at which prominent and distinguished men of that party, old proviso anti-slavery men, have come forward to support acts for Territorial government's without the proviso, and this act which stirs up in you such " deep ab- horrence!" Where stand Stuart, Gillespie, Pickering, and others, Whig members of our own Legislature, who voted the proviso instructions ? I doubt no...t that ere this letter reaches you, a vote will be taken in the Legislature again, and you will see the great mass of the members of that party repudiate their own resolution. Look at the election of Mr. Eliot in the Boston district. He was among the first to approve the changed course of Mr. Webster, and on that approval was elected to Congress from Boston, the strong hold of abolitionism. He, too, voted for this abhorred la\r. Am I right, then, in supposing that a change has been going on in the public mind, or the mind of* that great party?
