The "FREE Soil" PARTY We would
ask our friends who are laborng with so much "
zeal in behalf of the Van Buren d" Free Soil
party at the present time, to take heed that .
they be not found working for their greatest .
enemies 1t should be matter of careful
study with each one lest in his anxiety to Sc
cure the greatest good he lose even that which
he hath. Man but poorly does his duty, who
l-s pass the present opportunity OF dong
minor good in The hope Of reaching hereafter
some greater one. lie will hardly have fulfil
led all that his country requires at his hanos,
who shall make answer to her IN her need,
d" there is one great and paramount good to !
which shall turn my ercluSiw attention, and
count all lesser ones as dross." We are OF
the number of those who hold themselves
bound, if they cannot do all the good they
,rouH. nevertheless to DO al they can. Now
the advocates of the new Free Soil party
cannot but be convinced, and many of them
openly admit, that by drawing off votes as they
do from the Wing party, they are giving 50
much additional strength TO the loco iocos.
Such every man can see will be the effect
Of voting the new - Free Soil ticket. Ev-
/, erv Whig vote counted for it, is one vote for
! the loco foco candidate for the Presidency; is
! one vote for Northern men with Southern
Ikprinciples is one vote for the extension OF
/ Slavery, aud one vote for veto in advance up
| on every law which may be passed 10 abolish
| slavery in the District of Columbia 1t is
| vote for the loco foco dough faces of the North,
|. the tools of the South, men whose only char
acter is their recrcancy to the principles and
institutions of the people who have nuriurcd
and fed them. Every Wing vote for the
" Free Sol'' party this fall, is one given for
f the policy and measures which build up South
ern wealth and Southern institutions at the en-
4 pense Of the free labor of the North. Now we
ask every Wing Free Soil man Of the
State, if he does his duty 10 his country by
throwing away hisvote upon this new loco
ioco hobby 90, up to draw Of Wing votes. Is
L it Sigh, good not worth striving for, that in
electing Wing President and Wing mem-
, bers of Congress, you put men into power who
will legislate for the interest of the achole coun
= try-who will enac, laws for the fostering anc
encouragement Of free labor--who will oppose
p the acquisition Of new territories and oppose
n all aggressive wars. Who will not veto ever,
F., bill that passes Congress in opposition to Sla
7 very aud It's extension VIII you throw ava.
all these and suffer yourselves to be swallowc
J. no in focofocoism! Or will you vote the Whii
ticket, secure change of Government an
measures, and thus brng about better stat
Of things.
