Did they advocate them on the ground that, if they should pass, they would abrogate the Mis- souri compromise, or would operate as an abandon- ment in any way of the principle of prohibition . ' Not at all; but they all affirmed the power to make such restriction, and most of them the propriety of it, where it could be of any practical service. But here they alleged that what was as good as the proviso was already in force. The Mexican law, they said, excluded slavery in these Territo- ries — i...t does not now exist there by law, and it cannot go there unless you shall legislate it in ; and if you are disposed to do that, you can as well re- peal the Wilmot proviso, if it should be adopted. But more, slavery is excluded by a higher law than this — the law of God. Here is what is equiv- alent to two Wihnotprovisoes; why makea third? It can do no possible good; it will be regarded by the South as an unnecessary act for the protection of the North, and as something insisted upon merely to taunt her.
