the wing party The American knows that the
whole Northern portion of that party is devoted
to the Free Soil principle 1t knows that Wings
have been, in Congress, the strongest advocates
OF that principle, nay, that they have been the
pioneers in its advocacy The editor knows that

The present National parties are undoubted Ma.

nothing but the cohesive power Of public plum

National parties is evidence of the enacity with

enough to control these National parties by Sc

After inshtutng comparison between South
