| Seslers Abandon Van Bure.-
The New York Tribune has addressed second letter
to the soil wings of Ohio" and signs il with the
imposing autograph of 80 Horace Greeley" We have
such authority to address the democrats the high
priest of the Sanhedrim takes upon himself but the
argument cuts both ways and the other side OF the pic
ture should be likewise exhibited. Mr. Greeley shows
no uncomfortable blaney in his appeal the soes
of Ohio but the gst of his argument is stated in the
following extract from his elaborate letter of nearly two
columns:
If Mr. Van Buren, within sight of success then
might fairly be urged that the immnence of the eesoil
demanded the temporary posiponement of all others,
until that should be defnitively settled But every wing
vote for Van Buren, is plainly half vote for Cas- in far
as is known that unbalanced withdrawal of one-ten,h
of the wings into third party surenders the govern
ment Cass beyond doubt 1t is idle resist this

who for Van Buren, poclaims his willingness

Those CORY locks at me-"
Very prettily put, indeed by the Tribune but let us
try our hand the other side OF the picture AS the
vulgar saying is, "What is good for the GOOSE &C.
word to Candid Fros-soilsr..-wni You be cheat
cd by the Whigsf
We presume there many democrats. particularly in
the State of New York, who have attached themselves
the free soil movement not from motives of hostility
to the democratic party, but from devotion to
principle which they honestly believe be sound and
correct To such have word to say Just upon the
eve OF the election.
What you gain even for the principle you advo-
cate by separating from the great body of your demo
cratic frends Do you hope to carry single State or
electoral vote for your candidate We sincerely believe
there is not State electoral vote in the Union
which Mr.. Van Buren, secure.
The only effect of your VOTE then, for the free soil
ticket will be against your former party and aid of
the hig party, without benetng your present in
the least By voting for the esoil candidate you
fact give your vote to aid the election of the wing cand
date who is STAKEHOLDER, and who is supported in the
South because he is supposed to be opposed your pn
ciples.
When the free soil movement first originated it was ia
vored by Horace Greeley and many other leading wings
who pretended they could support the
nomination Of General Taylor Greeley, and his confed
crate wings, continued to advocate the free soil move
ment, until they believed they had drawn of many
democrats they could to the support of the freeso
candidates, and then they turn round and abandon the
soil cause, and endeavor to rally all wings inclined
to the free soil movement in support of Taylor Greeley,
and his coadutos, notwithstanding their pretended de-
voon to the ree-so principle, support Taylor, the
owner of two hundred slaves and residing in a slave
State, in ORDER they aege, to prevent the election OF
Gen. Cass the owner of slaves, and the resident of
free State.
Now, can it be doubted that it was the design of
Greeley and his wing coadutors to take the course
they have for the purpose of drawing away democrats
from their party, with the intention to desert them the
they had accomplished their nefarious purpose
the moment their low eleconeering trick had become
successful
We put other construction upon the conduct of
Greeley and his associates; and it remains to be
whether democrats will permit themselves to be duped
by the shallow artifce. Such contemplate tricke-
ry is not uncommon in the history of federalism. In
the New England and middle States none have been
more anxious and ready to encourage the formation OF
third parties than the leaders OF federasm but when
they have succeeded far they could in seducing
democrats from their party relations they suddenly re-
turn the federal fold and for their own candidates
Such has been the usual mode of ant-masonry, abo-
litionism, and native Americansm.
Thus, belief, will the sellers be duped and
cheated by Greeley and his associates
The Last Dodge yeti
One Mr.. Upham Of Salem, Massachusetts, has fairly
earned the appellation of the "Artfu Dodger" The
dodge by which he seeks to avoid the contradiction of
:" peace man. voting for candidate whom ,car alone
has raised to the notice of the country, is of the
