DIR CIRCULATION.

We trust that the friends of Freedom will and
appreciate the importance of giving extensive crcu-
ation as possible the papers that remain true 10 the
cause great portion of the press, under the influence
Of the money power and party drill, have gone over to
the side of slavery, and will support the nomination of
Taylor or Cass. A systematic attempt is being made
break down such stand up firmly for freedom. We
hear of emsSares all about the county, urging sub
scrbers 10 Withdraw their names from list In most
cases. these tools Of slavery treated as they deserve
but that they will produce effect, is not TO be dis
guised The effort will be great, to keep light from the
people, and to deceive them INTO the belief that prinri-
pie honor and conscience, hot all sacrificed at the
Philadelphia Convention task which never can be
accomplished if The people have the chance to see and
Judge for themselves.
tits then of the last importance that truth should be
widely disseminated, and error every where met and
refuted Those who would now DO something TO help
save their country in the hour Of her need should do
what they can to extend the circulation of the papers
which uphold the banner of 'Free Soil, Free Speech
and Free Press" In few places, our friends have
done nobly, but the effort should be universal Euery
