The Nevr Territery.
The final settlement with Mexico at tho
rlrwp hf fh tear rave to the United Hta?r-
enother "enormous addition of territory, 1
which Included California, Texas, revada.
Utah, Xew Mexico, Arizona and parti of
Wyoming and Colorado. Shortly before
this, in 1S46, a treaty with Great Britain
adjusted our northwestern boundary and
secured an undisputed title to the States
of Oregon and "Washington. This, with the
Gadsden purchase from Mexico in 1B53 of
a strip lying south of Ariiona and JCew
Mexico, fixed the boundaries of the United
States as they still remain.
While the ratification of the Mexican
treaty was etill pending occurred the dis
covery of gold in California, which led
amid grfat excitement to the pouring in
of a flood of adventurous population het
erogeneous in character, but much of It
rough .and lawless, and all moved by the
overmastering greed of gold. The whole
-of the territory .acquired from Mexico
(Texae excepted) was inhabited by Mex
icans, Spaniards and Indians, none of
them capable without long training of
appreciating and accepting the principles
of free government as understood by
Anglo-Saxons.
Hera were conditions to tax the
strength, the wtadoxn and the vital assim
ilating force of the most powerful, the
most experienced and the most united of
states. But the United States was weak
ened by sectional divisions: every prob
lem Of stateomanshlp which arose was now
complicated by the Inevitable slavery
question, and Its discussion embittered
by the personal feeling which every al
lusion to slavery aroused. Thoughtful
patriots looked anxiously Into the future.
Shoiild the new possessions be dedicated
to freedom or to slavery? Could North
and South agree upon a division? Texaa
was conceded to slavery; what should
be done with the rest?
Tlie "Wllmot rroviso.
At the very outbreak of tho Mexican
War It was foreseen that the result would
be an addition to the possessions of the
United States and that such accessions
would unavoidably Involve divided opin
ion respecting the extension of slavery
to the new soil. A bill was before the
House In 1846 to appropriate money for
the purchase of territory from Mexico,
when David Wllmot, a Democratic mem
ber from Pennsylvania and a warm friend
of the Administration, moved to attach
to the b.Il a proviso forever excluding
slavery, from any territory so gained. Von
Hoist .likens the proposal of such a meas
ure Jo "the eprlnging of a mine which
shook both the Union and slavery to their
very foundations." The amendment
passed the House, but, though repeatedly
brought up, It never passed the Senate.
Still the bare suggestion was sufficient
greatly to Inflame the South, while hs
principle embodied in it was at first
eagerly adopted in the Xprtn by men of
all parties.
The settlement of the status of the pur.
chased territory In respect to slavery was
seen by North and South to be Impera
tive, and Southern Democratic leaders de
termined to oppose the principle of the
Wllmot proviso. Many Northern Whig
newspapers declared for it, and. while
seeking to avoid "the untempered zeal and
fanaticism of the Liberal party," strove
to1 commit the Whig to its support. Anti
slavery Whigs hoped by supporting the
Wllmot proviso In the election of 18S to
draw all the anti-slavery forces to a union
within the Wh'g party. But, as we have
seen, the Whigs were again too timid to
promulgate definite party principles, and
once more shirked the real iecue, hoping
to appear as the opponents -of slavery ex
tension while placing at the head ot
talr ticket the name of a Xoulslana -sugar
planter and slaveowner who should at
tract Southern votes.
The panacea for the National disorder
proposed by the Democratic nominee was
the principle of "squatter- sovereignty,"
which would leave the people of each
territory to decide for themselves the
Question of freedom or slavery. The
Whigs gained the election through the
defection of the anti-slavery Democrats
of New Tork, but nothing was settled
thereby, and both the Abolitionists and
the slavery faction grew only the more
determined.
Meantime anti-slavery sentiment had
been growing stronger in the Democratic
party, as well as among the Whigs. Va
rious Democratic county conventions held
in the North dur'ng the campaign, of "4S
passed resolutions demanding the support
of the Wllmot proviso. The revolt of "the
New York "barn-burners" or free-ll
Democrats was follow ed by a similar party
defection In Illinois and Wisconsin, while
several other Northern States were rep
resented by Democratic delegates Jn the
New York State Convention at Utlca and
In the National convention at Buffalo
which both nominated Van Buren as the
free-soil candidate for the Presidency.
Throughout the campaign the v antl-siav-ery
Democrats protested loudly against
the opinion announced "by Cass that Con
gress had no Constitutional power to pro
hibit slavery.
There were Whig anti-slavery "bolters"
also, though In many states the party
maintained a gloomy and anxious silence.
At the fame time -certain newspaper sup
porters of Taylor ceased not to proclaim
that "the Whig party north Is the true
anti-slavery party of the Republic," and
that the Wllmot proviso "is now and ever
has been the doctrine of the Whigs of
the free states."" Other Northern news
papers made frequent allusions to "the
Whig principles of the Wllmot proviso."
A large number of the members of the
part- solemnly pledged themselves to vote
for no man who was not a declared op
ponent to the Introduction of slavery Into
the territories. True to this pledge, the
Whigs of the western reserve In Ohio
formally repudiated the party nominee
and a erred that the Whig party had
been "basely betrayed aye, sold to the
Southern slaveholder." But they were
displeased likewise with the nominee of
the free-soil party. Many felt that they
were tricked and Insulted by the effort
to force them to vote for a life-long
Democrat and a man of Martin Van Bu
ren's principles.
Tho Wllmot proviso had dealt a blow
to National politics which waa ultimately
to rupture the Democratic party perma
nently, to kill the Whig party outright and
to create (In 1853) a new Republican party.
But all this could not have been accom
plished without the lamentable failure
of the Whigs In party wisdom, as well
as in true statesmanship, after their sec
ond rise to power in 1S4S.
The Sltnntlon In 1830.
California presented herself for state
hood in December, 1849. She had a pop
ulation In excefs of the requirement. Most
of It was from the Northern States: some
came from Europe; much from the South
ern States. The conditions were such as
ImperatUely demanded a settled govern
ment. President Taylor, the leading hero
of tho war, was thoroughly conversant
with the situation, and urged on the move
ment for entering the Union. Slavery
was excluded, by Mexican law, from the
whole of the ne,wly-purch&sed territory,
and the constitution adopted by the Cal
ifornia convention expressly prohibited it.
The South, undr a Democratic Admin
istration, had brought on the war for the
sake of maintaining and extending South
ern power through the extension of slave
0 territory. The outcome had been the ac
quisition of a domain far exceeding its
hopes. But now it appeared that freedom
might gain more than slavery, after all,
and Cal'fornla, the richest province of the
t whole, threatened to slip at once from
Southern grasp. Pro-slavery Whigs unlt
, ed with the Democrats in opposing the
v admission of California unless the Gov
ernment would give assurances of pro
tection to the interest of slavery in the
rest of the new purchase; and they called i
upon the President to aid them In their ,
purpose bv refuslnr his al-mature to the .
California bUL The stern old warrior an
swered that he would sign any Con
stitutional law passed by Congress, And
led his questioners to Infer that he fa
vored the application of the Wllmot pro- j
vieo tp the territories. To threats by
Southern Congressmen that they would
dissolve the Union, he replied by declar
ing himself ready to take the field In per-.
son to enforce his country's laws and to
harg without mercy the very Btatesmeni
to whom he spoke should they be taken
in rebellion. He was to be no tool of
the slave power. It was clear. Indeed,
his chief counselor was now the young:
and ardent William H. Seward, of New
York, whose far-sighted aim it was to I

make the Whig party the great exponent
and agent of the opposition to slavery ex
tension. This sentiment had always ex
isted in all the states North and South;
It had always been strong In the Whig
party and was gaining ground In the Dem
ocratic party. Northern Abolitionists
(with the exception of the extreme Garrl
sonlan wing, which was always numeri
cally small) would have been won by a
sincere and straightforward course on the
part of the Whigs to a hearty allegiance
to that party. Had Taylor lived and had
the other Whig leader been able to see
that now as never before there lay be
fore them an opportunity to moke their
party a truly National partya compact,
fully organized political force based upon
an issue in the broadest sense popular and
National; had they but held calmly and
firmly to the principles already associat
ed with the party name, the principles of
non-interference with the affairs of the in
dividual states and unflinching resistance
to slavery In the territories then, indeed,
would the aftcrcourse of our history have
been different. The times were ripe as
never before for tho final triumph of Na
tionalism over the threatened sectional
disruption, and the great parties were
the bonds, the only bonds, which might
have been made strong enough to hold
the Union intact.
The Compromise of 1850.
But once more Henry Clay came for
ward to smooth the troubled surface ot the
political waters with tho oil of com
promise. He trusted to be able to heal
all wounds, adjust all differences, save the
Union and unite In brotherly harmony
the distrustful factions by the mutual
concessions which he demanded from
North and South. The gist of the eight
resolutions which were to effect all this
was, as stated by himself, forbearance
by tho North to insist upon the application
of the Wllmot proviso to Utah and New
Mexico; forbearance by the South to In
sist upon the express Introduction ot
slavery Into those territories. Tho par
ticular points were "only tho feathers to
"WlIHnra II. Seward.
fly the arrow." California, was to be ad
mitted as a tree state; the slave trade
should .be abolished in the District oft
Columbia, but slavery should remain;
a stringent fugitive-slave law, which the
slaveholders had long demanded, should
be enacted: the claim of Texas -to a large
part of New Mexico should be quieted by
a large money Indemnity. No interfer
ence with the Missouri compromise wqb
suggested, and no appl.catlon of the doc
trine of popular sovereignty was to ba
made to the new territories.
After long debate and various changes
in form the measures were finally passed.
The doom of the Whig party was now
sealed, and the great tragedy of our
history drew on.

WOMAN AND THE BALLOT.
VIctt That She Xeed It to Protect
Her ia. Her Rlffkts.
PORTLAND. May 26. To the Editors
Two editorials have appeared in your
.paper In the past week which I desire
ACQUIRED FROM MEXICO.
to answer. "The points made -were as fol
lows: f
X. Woman suffrage has made, no prog
ress. 2. Everything "that suffragists httvo
-worked for has been gained, but suffrage.
3. Women do not need the ballot to right
any civic or legal wrong. -
4. The family Is the unit ot society and
the basis of suffrage.
5. No class whose exercise of the fran
chise is neither beneficial nor neceBsafcy
has any right to the ballot.
C. Property is not the basis of suffrage,
and the taxation argument is a fallacy-.
7. The ballot is an artificial right.
8. The ballot will desex woman. ""
At the beginning of this century-women
had no political, social or Individual
rights. Today full suffrage prevails in
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Idaho; mu
nicipal suffrage in Kansas, Province ot
Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Ire
land; the right to vote on taxpaying ques
tions In Montana, Leulslana and Iowa;
school suffrage in 26 states in- -the- Union,
and full suffrage in the Isle- of Man, New
Zealand. South Australia and West Aus
tralia. Such facts, In lieu of the- fact that the
cause has had-to batt.e against the preju
dice and the ignorance of the past ages,
are strong evidence ' that tho cause has
made progress.
Becond Every property, educational, so
cial and Individual right that has been
gained for women has been secured
through the hard work of the advocates'
of equal suffrage. The masses opposoj
higher education for women, said it would
destroy her womanliness; In fact, the:
eqUal suffragists have been the main ones
who have 'brought about the very condi
tions that makes It possible for the anti-.
suffragists to 'get Inany of their work.,T
xne ngw to vote, aiiecting tne iuuaa
mental or organic life of the Nation, is
a broader and more comprehensive ques
tion than educational or social rights;
hence it will take a longer time to fee?
cure the ballot for women than other
rights. Again, the educational right paves
the way for the recognition of the value
and necessity of the political right
Third A right conferred upon another
party is only secure so long as the party
granting it is agreed to It. The ballot Is
needed by women to protect their rights;
from a Governmental standpoint, the. right.
to the ballot Is the right of rights.
Fourth Every man at the age of JSL
unless otherwise disqualified, is granted
the ballot, whether he be at the head ot -a.
family or not. No ""woman, left a widow,
with a family to support and care for Is
given the ballot because she represents
the family. If household suffrage is the
basis of voting In a country, then the
family with a large number of sons h,ave
creater tower than the one with a. larire
number of daughters. In short, household'
sunrage does not prevail in mis country.
Fifth The great rank and flle of women
are Interested In the betterment of man
kind, and by so much as the home and
the state are related, by just so much
will woman's vote be of values and serv
ice to the state.
Sixth Standard authorities on political
economy agree on the' proposition that-
governments,. are founded on. the rights
of private property and the vested inter
ests in. the same. This proposition be'lhg
true, it forms, a basic argument for tho
principle, that taxation and representation
go hand In hand. However, It Is not al
together a question of the protection, but.
the question as to how the taxes col-
lected from either man's or woman's prop-
erty shall be expended. So long as a
woman owns property, pays taxes on
that property, she. by virtue of this
fact. Is entitled to the ballot.
Seventh The ballot Is an artificial right.
Then how does The Oregonlan reconcilo
Its other proposition that the ballot is
based on manhood? Is manhood an arti
ficial thing? Governments that have their
basis In the rights of private property con
fer upon their subjects only an artificial
right to the ballot, and every reason
claimed by man for the use ot this arti
ficial right can be Justly claimed by
woman. When the time comes that gov
ernments are founded wholly, upon "the
natural and human rights of the people,
then both men and women will be pos
sessed of their Inherent right to be the
real rulers of themselves.
Eighth The ballot will deser woman.
Sex is determined by the Creator, and
if by act of human legislation woman
becomes desexed. then it -Is possible for
the creature to destroy the work of tho
Creator. Such an argument is thorough
ly atheistic In Its tenor. The ballot is not
a masculine right, for It It were It cou'-d
not be taken from man by legislative pow
er. The man wh6 Is committed to the
penitentiary Is deprived of the ballot, but
Is Btill a human being, vested with all
tho rights of manhood. If the right to
the ballot was a distinctly masculine right,
women could not exercise it; but they do
vote. Hence the argument is a fallacious
one.
In Wyoming the school census increased
more In the past 10 years than in any pre
vious 20 years, which is a conclusive evi
dence that the women of the state where
equal suffrage has prevailed for 30 years
have not forsaken the high and holy call
ing of motherhood. Under natural normal
conditions woman gladly welcomes moth
erhood, and liberty for woman will mean
b'etter mothers, and better mothers will
mean better sons and daughters. Will the
men of Oregon lead In this onward march
of progress? We believe they will.
