On fEaa EgnsnaE4sVC.

We are we'll aware that some good hearted in
diyidnaIs in the present contest, think the Free
Soil men are too hard on the South. They seem
to think we are threatening them with some az
gression--about making an offensive demonsua-
ton upon some sacred right; in fact are pcrsccut-
ing, and almost seeking 10 rob them. Let one
thing be borne distinctly in mind. That in all
this matter, tie Free Soil party acting strictly
On the dc@cnsiye Not one demonstration Of Of
fence have they made or design TO make. They
are simply endeayorng to prevent the aggression
Of savery and to maintain for freedom what IS
now free.
1t is a fact which the history Of the country
shows that at the tiuc the ordinance OF lIS7 was
adopted, the south were unanimously Of the
opinion that slavery should be closely confined to
the boundaries in which it then existed. The or
dinance Of 1851 was indeed more than We now
ask, an abolition Of siaray. The northwest terri
tory belonged to Virginia and was under the laws
Of Virginia Making it free then, was an actual
abolition OF slavery; and when it is understood
that the whole south joined in tlis it seyent they
designed slavery should he confined to the limits in
which it then practically existed.
But the opinions Of the south have changed
1t is pleasant for them to live on the sweat and
toll o. Others, and they find that it cannot be done
under existing circumstances much longer. Slave
labor has impoverished the soil, and poverty IS
rapidly coming TO he their lot. Their slaves cost
more than they come to- on an Impoverished soil.
Look al Virginia. Gorg to decay Tom tina;
ca use. What is the remedy? Why, more new
territory 1t must be had or slavery must die.
Has the south then shadow OF right or
claim to the territory now free to rejuyenate
this dying curse? Their own fathers pronounced
against it; aud all the free soil men are at
tempting to do, is to preserve to liberty what was
consccrated to it by the Fathers of the Republic,
by Nature and by Natures Sod.

TTea HSSsg9.

We claim that the only issue at stake in this pre-
sdcntial contest is that of Free Soil.
An United States Bank is most certainly an OBJ
solete idea. If the wings were d thousand times
successful they would not attempt to revive that
monster
The tariff for time at least, has been settled by
the war at that point, which experience proves will
produce the greatest amount of revenue.
The distribution of the proceeds of the sales of
the public lands is lost sight of in the question of
giving the lands to settlers, to sell them at mere
nominal price.
So far as the sub-treasuTy is concerned, expert
encc has before this demonstrated its merits as com
pared with other systems of collecting and disbur-
sing the public revenues, and Oh that experience
will it stand or fall, whatever party may be in pow
er.
Are we not right then in the assertion that the
free soil question is the only lssae row at stake
The southern power seized the machinery Of both
parties, and the only opinion it was necessary for
either candidate to entertain, opinion favor
able to the extension Of slavery. They do entertain
/ this opinion, the one being pledged to il IN writing
the other not less strongly By association and inter-
est Cass and Taylor represent the same principle
and 10 man can tell where they differ Through
one or the other OF them the slave power expects
to triumph, and each and every man who votes fo
them votes for thctriunph Of TINT power.

Creating slavery.

The Cass editors in the North generally en-
deavoring to comfort themselves for their treason
to freedom, by asserting that slavery cannot exist
in the free territories without an express law of
| Congress creating it.
Slavery exists legally nowhere, but it exists in
all its hideousness, nevertheless There has not
been in the whole history of this country, nor we
believe of the mother country an affirmative act,
creating slavery, and hence slavery does not legal
ly exist in single state of this Union. But it
lists nevertheless, and We cannot touch it, except
by force and arms
Where was the affirmative act, creating slavery
in Texas? No such act can be found, yet Texas
is in the Union slave state.
Does not then any one see the wickedness of
resting quietly, trusting that slavery can never
st in the territories of the government without af-
frmatiys action. Whilst we are thus reposing,
slave state after slave state, will come laundering
at the door of the Union fol admission, and can
you reject them, on account of slavery? Certain
y not, for you recognized on the start, that they
had perfect right to create their own institutions
to suit themselves
See how it works The doctrine Of Cass be-
comes the law of the land, and Congress cannot
interfere 10 regulate the institutions Of the terrific
rjes. The slayehoIddr takes his slaves, and with
tie pistol and bowie knife transports them 10
New Mexico. Their very presence there drives
out free labor and free laborers. Slave holders
there are the occupants Of the country. They
make her institutions There has been affirmative
law creating slavery. butthere tits. Laws are made
to regulate it, ana slave state is added 10 the Tn
ion, and thereafter slavery becomes vested right
which we cannot pass a lax to touch.
. VIII some Of the Cass papers, be 50 good as to
set aside the difficulty We suggest Of waiting for
slavery for some affirmative action Of Congress
They owe it to their readers whom they attempt
to dupe, TO do it.

T'he Personal exemption.

Divers sage individuals have discovered a mare S
nest in the recent personal exemption law, passed
by our Legislature. They affect to believe that
Tor past debts, no exemption law now exists, and
the last shirt of the poor debtor may be taken for
debts contracted previous TO the passage OF the late
law. The foundation of this opinion is in this
The present exemption law repeats all previous
exemption laws We cannot pass a retroactive
law: consequently willis, the present law cannot
affect past debts, the only law which did is repeal
ed, and for past debts we are without any eXemp-
ton law
Now so far as the present law is concerned it is
not practically retroactive. This law embodies
in itself the late law, and the late law was repeal
ed simply because itnow exists in a new shape
1t was certainly not necessary TO have two similar
laws on the statute book and the late one was re-
pealed for that reason. To the extent then that
this law embodiss the old one it is not practically
retroactive and if any supposes any court at
this enlightened day WILL upon mere technical
ground decide that the debtor may be stripped, as
these men would have him, will we think, be mis-
taken.
Again, why can we not pass retroactive law
Because il violates contracts because we impair
and violate rights, which grew under existing in
situations. Well now, we apprehend in the eye Of
the law the debtor has rights, we'll as the cred
tor,and the legislature has no more right TO pass
law interfering with the right of the debtor, than
| il has of the creditor. The late exemption law
then entered into and became part of all contracts
| That law secured certain rights to the debtor L
| guaranteed that certain articles OF household AM
other property should not be taken ii virtue Of tba
| contract Now, il we may not pass retroactive
! '.y boss can We take away this vested right o
! 81. #.@r.r How can we now render that property
| l4ol3 70 execution, which was not so liable whei
the contract was entered into. So that it IS yer,
plain should the first reason we have given fail an.
court must of necessity decide that the clause o
the pres ent exemption law repeating the late law
is unconstitutional, and can have no force and Ell
feet.
W E hope no person will be alarmed: and If th
property Of any one should be interiered with, lie
them protect it by all legal means, and the decis
ion OF all the courts will sustain them.
