Free S0isisaza and yVHsigegy.

Our readers will recollect the holy horror ex-
pressed by the Wings at the union of the North
! ern Democracy with the Free Soil Democrats. as
1t the people Of State had not the RIGHT to con
troll its own local policy in its own way TcshosT
what credit the Wings are entitled to for this
burst OF pious indignation we give short extract
from speech of Gov. Seward a Wing Abolition-
list and Free Soiler, delivered at Cleveland, Ohio
before the election:
Slavery was once the sin, of not some of the
States only, but Of them all Of net our nation
only, but OF all nations. 1t perverted and cor.
rupted hemoral sense Of mankind, deeply, uni-
versally ard this corruption became Universal
habit. Habits Of thought became fixed princi-
pies, No American State has YET delivered it.
sell entirely from those habits We u, Nels
YORK are guilty Of saeery still, by mithho1diugt the
faght q Suffrage from The race aee haze emanepa-
ted on an OHIO are guilty in tie some qgaa, bg
system Of b0ch-laacs, still more a1istocratic and
oa7ous. 1t is written in the constitution of the
United States that five slaves shall count equal
10 three Tree men, as basis of representation;
and II as 70rtten, also, IN violalon of the dsaane
Q1c thai shall Surrender the ttqatire slare qrko

they have become as familiar as household words,

DOES NOT ALL THIS PROVE THAT THE WIG
PARTY HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE SPIRIT OF TEE
AGE--THAT IT Is TRUE AND FAITHFUL TO THE
CAUSE OF HUMAN FREEDOM As THE INERT cow
SCIENCE OF THE ANEe1cAN PEOPLE Will pERMias
IT TO BE!
This is but a portion ofa speech replese with
Infamous sentiments and yet the virtuous nlen
who now denounce the base coalition" said NOT
a word against it. Nor did they say wota
when the Pittsburg Gazette held the following
language:
A WORD TO FREE SOIL ERs.--The fyss-
sol party, as such, aee beheus, have not a ssneIs
d'stiactiue principle ehich is not held b the ahfes
IN all the free States Of The Union. and by gaenq.,
u not most Of tbe leading men and masses of tie
2chags an the South. The wings of the Union are
a unit except on one question, that of slavery
and the disagreement on this is not as great "a
some people imagine It is our deliberate orio-
ION, that 3 majority Of the Wings of the South,
both leaders and nlasses are not friendly to
slavery extension. Dl.ug Of them are opealy o.
posed to 1t; others care nohlng aJou it; AND WILL
NOT SEPARATE FROM THEIR NORTHERN ALLIES on
THAT QuEsTIoN. There may be a few in fsyor
OF it but they exceptions to the general rlls.
ana Joffn on mere f4uctaon Of the great qehaey
party. As proof of our position, we point 10
the acts of the wing party to he qote on tie a.
neratqoa Of Ieras, and 10 he feet, notorious svg.
ryghere, that ehtg speakers on tie stump in the
South acknowledge hat their aehig brethren IN ths
North are The enemies Of slogery and Ike asacofn-
promising opponents Of slavery ertension AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS, THEY AFFILIATE WITH
AND REMAIN rIRM TO THEIR ATTACHMENT TO
THE WIG PARTY.
The ackig party then, as tie kao,tn and aclnogs9-
edged opponent Of stayeTy extension, and its tn
uaaph gelH be the triumph Of the Wilnot P1og3so.
If FREE-soII MEN CARE MORE ABOUT The PRIF-
cIPLE THAN THE BUILDING Up OF 4 PARTY. THEY
WILL NOT HESITATE TO VOTE FOR THE WIG
CANDIDATES. rs Gre SAID IN the start thea LGyg,

GC~ What does the Spectator now think of liz
'Northem alles2--of the coaseTvatism il it
pleas, Of the glorious Wing party, and are they
any better friends to the South than the Northern
Democracy Ifso, we call for the evidence
but that will hardly be forthcoming as a ma jof-
ty of President Taylor's cabinet, Clayton, Ea-
ing, Collarner and incredibly are Proviso nen;
yet with these facts staring the Spectator in the
lace, it cries out against the union Of the North
eml Democracy united only for local purposes.
