The New Hampshire Gazette And Republican Union

A new campaign paper is to be published in New Hampshire, by the whigs and independent democrats, to be called "The Wilmot Proviso."—Boston Atlas.

Mr Corwin (whig senator) said, the Wilmot proviso was calculated to endanger the Union: such a measure did not meet his approbation.

A writer (whig) in the National Intelligencer said—

"I regret extremely the course taken by some of the most respectable whig papers at the north in making the Wilmot proviso the test question at the next presidential election."

"To the whigs of the north I unhesitatingly say that the Wilmot proviso is per se of no practical value."

"We fear some of our friends allow themselves to be deceived as to the binding and abiding force of this Wilmot proviso, even if it be adopted by both houses of congress. We may have a virtual and actual spread of slavery and increase of slave territory by the very means of and under the cover of the Wilmot proviso itself, "—Boston Atlas.

A correspondent of the Atlas said—

"Away, then, with the Wilmot proviso. Mr Berrien's is the only right and safe ground. With that it is useless. Without it, I fear, a broken reed—certainly a bone of contention, if not a source of disunion."

The following resolution was offered by Mr Palfrey in the great whig convention at Springfield, and was scornfully rejected and kicked out:

"Resolved, That the whigs of Massachusetts will support no men as candidates for the offices of President and Vice President but those who are known by their acts or declared opinions to be opposed to the extension of slavery."
