The Free Soil RisingS,

1t is utterly impossible for us to even alludc to tho
Peoples Conventions, which are being holden in al
most every county of the Free States, and even i'll
Maryland Virginia and Kentucky. The PEOPLE
are moving in righteous Indignation against the nam
mouth frauds of the Baltimore and Philadelphia Con
ventions. We trust in God the day has at last come
when the Free North shall arise in the conscious maj
esy of her strength, and lay hold of the pillars Of
that injured baste which has SO long rendered us tho
despised of men, and the cursed of heaven. All eyes
are turned upon the Buffalo Convention, and judging
from present Indications it will be the largest and
most important political Convention known in the his
tory of this nation. Heaven grant it wisdom to plant
itself firmly upon the mmutable rock of principle and
lay platform sufficiently broad for all the consistent
friends of freedom. This done, and the contest will
thereafter be, not between Taylor and Cass, but be-
tween the nominee of that Convention and Genera
Taylor as the embodiment of the slavery extenton
principles of the South In such contest, is there
q son of the Green Mountains that can hesitate under
which banner to array himsef2

The Territorial Bill.

A correspondent ofthe NY, Herald writes on Mon
day:
The prospect of the passage of the territorial bill is
bad. On Saturday evening, wing caucus was held,
and number of converts against the bill made. This
morning there tweny-six Senators opposed TO it.
Phelps is speaking, and appears frightened
The Senate's repo in the same paper says of Mr.
Corwn's speech on Monday:
After speech of three hours, which swept like a
consuming fire through the the dry grass under high
wind, destroying in its flames arguments, appeals,
thorities, compromises the whole question in
the naked form of the admission exclusion of slav-
cry, Mr. Corwin concluded by planting himself upon
the compact of 1887, in regard to these territores-
With the fathers of the constitution he would stand
or fall.
Senators, members of the House who were present,
the large concourse in the galleries, all concur in the
opinion that Mr. Corwin is of the most terrible and
eloquent men of the age. Opposition is gaining
ground in the Senate. The bill begins to look like
an absurdty to men anxious for the existence of the
Union. The compromise will not pass Congress this
session.

The Clergy on the side Of Freedom,

The Ne,o York Evangelist of the 9th inst concludes
report of the late meeting of the general association
of Massachusetts, with the following paragraphs
The assembly of Ministers was SMALL owing in
part to The occurrence of the Worcester Free Soil
Convention at the time; at which, am informed,
large number of ministers felt it to be their duty, in
the present important crisis to be present Indeed it
is said that the sympathies of the clergy generally in
Massachusetts,, are strongly enlisted in this move
ment'
The editor of the Religious Herald of this city,
himself Congressional Minister, in his paper of the
9th inst, uses following language:
AS an index of the times we may say that among
the ministers as far as can learn the determination
to vote against Taylor and Cass, is universal One
minister of extensive acquaintance, said in our hear
ing the other day. that he did not believe that single
Congressional minister in Connecticut, would vote for
Taylor
An eminent clergyman from the city of New York,
remarked, not long ago, to of our friends that
similar feeling prevailed among his brethren in that
quarter, and indeed so far as we can learn strong
repugnance to both the wing and democratic noni-
nees, is almost universal among the clergy, through
out the Northern states--Hatford 4duOcate.

and the transaction of other business WiImot Provi-
so Democrats, and Alti- Slavery Whgs, are especially
invited to attend and participate in the dongs of the
Convention. We believe the time has fully come
when the people of the North should rally as one man
around the standard of Liberty, and present an un-
broken front to the slave ogarchy of the South, re-
solved to carry the battle of freedom to the last ditch,
rather than yield to the unreasonable aggressive de-
mands of the slave power. It is for the purpose Ct
concentrating the anti-savery strength Of the fourth
district that this meeting is called We earnestly
hope that there will be such gathering as never has
been seen in this District. 7There will be speech
