Winthrop suppressed the Wilmot proviso

did hoi do so, is beyond all dispute. Mr.
Holmes may say, I expected Mr. Win-
ihtdp would have defeated the abolition
ists, and have, in tny judgment properly
organized the Committees; but Mr.
Holmes cannot say that Mr. Winthrop
has so done. Mr. Winthrop never did, du
ring his potilical file in the Stale of Mass
achusetts, make a movement adverse lo
the principle of the Wilmot proviso. On
tlie contrary he has been its firm, talented
