what will he not do when he shall have hardened
into - IL

what will he not do when he shall have hardened
into manhood
What have we done We have aroused such
a sentiment IN the country on the subject OF sa-
very extension, that no bill can pass, during the
new administration, for the government OF the
territories, which shall not make provision for the
preservation OF their free institutions.
We have elected enough Van Buren, free soil
members to Congress to hold the balance of power
between the old parties.
We have aroused the free sentiment of several
slavehodng States, and secured lncipient organi-
cations of some of their citizens In favor OF free
soil.
We have caused such pressure Of public opin-
ion in the no n-slaveholdlng States that scarcely
member has been returned to Congress- since our
organization, who is not pledged to support the
Wilmot provlso-be he whig or democrat
We have established party IN Massachusetts,
strong enough to prevent the efficient organiza-
ton OF any wing party there, except on thorough
antl,savery princlples-and the same may be said
Of OHIO
We have established similar party in New
York, strong enough to prevent the organization
OF any democratic party there, except upon the
same basis-and the same may be said OF Yer
mont.
We have thus land the foundation for victory at
the Presidential election of 1852, when either we
shall triumph as party, or compel the triumphant
recognition OF our principles.
The battle is now fairly begun The question
whether our government is to be used to perpetuate
and support slavery, will not be settled this coming
winter it will be the question for the next tour
years. The two or three hundred thousand men
who have voted the free soil ticket at the election
just closed, are not the only free soil men In the
country. Hundreds of thousands belonging to the
two old parties sympathize with us cordially on
this que son and the only reason they did not act
with us recently was, that they felt as If the strug
gle were narrowed down to a choice between &C.
nerals Cass and Taylor. They deemed both ex.
ceptioual, but acted On the alleged necessity Of
choosing between evils. 1t is our business to pre-
vent the recurrence of this apparent necessity
We should so organize our forces and emp oy our
energies as TO unite all the friends of free soil IN
the support of common candidate for 1852 This
can be done, but we must work, as men only work
who would save the honor and liberties Of their
country, and the perpetuity OF its free insti
tutions, under the auspices OF the allwlse Ruler
OF Nations.
