What does this non-intervt?ntion amount to ? If it were a bona fide non-interference with our rights, il would be all that the South could ask — all that bhe has a ri^ht to demand under the Constitution. But this much she does demand; and depet. D upon it she will be appeased by nothing less. Some of the northern non-interventionists deny that Con- gress has the power to pass the Wilmot proviso; others maintain the position that Congress has the power, but should not exercise it, and straight- ...way offer the excuse to their constituents, that it is not necessary to pass it — that the Mexican laws are in force and they exclude slavery. This is the opinion entertained by General C. Vss and all the non- intervention Northern Democrats in this House. Is not this a heavy tribute which non-intervention pays to free-soil. - It ic- tantamount to saymg, we are in favor of the end which the proviso aims to acconipjisb, viz: the exclusion of the slave States from all ihe territory acquired (Vom Mexico — we oppose its adoniion only because we regard it as unncessary, and because vue believe thecoor.^e we propose to pursue will most effectually subserve the end without giving offence and producing irri- tation ill the South.
