The way they do it.!

"Free Soil and Free Labor!" shout the Van
Buren, men; and really they keep up such din
about it that some people innocently suppose
them TO be in earnest There is test to try
their faith: ,chai are they DOING? Let us see.
In the first district WIN. HENRY is the Wing
candidate for Congress he has served one ses-
sion, and on every occasion has been found faith
full to the cause of "Free Soil and Free Labor"
The Van Buren, men are doing their utmost to
defeat him, and secure the election of a iocofoco
supporter of Texas, The Iierican ,cdr, and British
labor!
In the second district, the Wings have a gen.
uine Free Soil and Free Labor candidate in
WIN. HEBARp; man whose free soil and free
labor principles have been entertained for years,
and whose character for integrity and fidelity is
high guarantee that he never will dishonor those
principles. He IS opposed by the new fedged
advocates off Van Buren,, and they have sue

Liberty man) of the course, and putting up an
old iocofoco in his place.!
In the third district the Wing candidate is
GEORGE p. MARsH,-a man who has been ever
faithful, giving his votes, his voice, and all the
influence to which his high chlracte and splcn-

Texas iniquity, the Free Trade Tariff, and eve

from the days of Jackson down to the nomna
ton of Cass and Butler!!
In the fourth, the Wings have also an old frient
of /" Free Soil and Free Labor" in the person o
john L. Buck. Our readers know him well
know that free soil and free labor" are no neu
notions with him; and know, too, that wha
John l.. Buck processes at home he would prac
lice at Washington. The new light Free Soil
ers, however, won't go for one who has SO long
been right as has Mr.. Buck. Whether they vii
directly support the Patriots candidate, Nj
PLcK las the Van Buren, organ at Burlilgton i
inclined to dol or do it indirectly by sticking t
Mr. Rowell, as did the Liberty party in 1874

We might further illustrate the WORKS G
the Van Buren, men by adverting to the locofocu
