EREE SOIL AT THE SouIH.

FREE SOIL AT THE SOU H.
Every day brings additional evidence that the Free
Soil Party is becoming great National Party, recog,
nzed at tie Souh well as the North as the true party
of FREEDOM and REPUBLICANISM -as the only
party on which the hopes OF The nation and Of every
ton OF the nation can safely rest for the eradication of
the evils oiour political system. The platform of the
Buffalo Convention and IFS nominees have been recev>
ed with unexpected favor at the Souththe fire Of ber
ty rapidly spreading there and thousands of true
men are coming 10 our aid
And, why should it be sol This movement is not
as it has been stgmatized by Gov Davis and others,
sectional matter. 1t is based on the great principles of
'hs Consu'u'on and therefore adapted to be
sIve with it, is based upon FREEDOM. and Free.
dom is great National Institution 1t is slavery that is
sectional, and the uphodng of it is the uphodng of sec
uonal interest This movement promises even more for
the South than the North for the South suffers more di>
recuy from this sectional Institution than the North =
the masses of the whites thers are not Shareholders and
they are pressed down TO the dust by the presence
slavery amongst them. The more intelligent among
them sea and feel this truth aud they hail the organza
hon this new party as opening the door of hope and
deverance 10 them. Let the organization once be iu
troduced among them, and the means of disseminating
light be established, and the party must grow there with
rapidy and strength, hardly equaled by its growth in
the free states
Already FREE Soil Electoral Tickets have been
nominated in less than seuen of the Slave States
and IN some of them, at least, there thorough organs
zaon with the prospect Of polling considerable vote
This will ace them in good position for the next
campagn,w when we trust that some of the slave state will
fall into the line of Freedom.

important Counties, assembled jamestown on the 18Th

from North Carolina has Joined the Free Soil marty and
doing eicen' service in the cause The whig papers
OF 'he State speak with alarm of the movement as ell,
dangerlng the Taylor electoral ticket. The Free men.
however, think that it will draw about equally from the
two old parties The whole question of slavery, in all
