imprisuns oer colored seamen in her ports,
contrary to justice, and even contrary to the
Constitution. She drove our commissioned

they were sent to look into the matter and le-

world with a most odious despoilsm, and
tried to make England return her runaway
slaves. making The nation a reproach before
the world; she insists on kidnapping every

that pasture, but the North must pay for it /;
she trpads the Constitution under her feet,
the North under her feet, Justice and the
U~nalienable rights OF Man under her feet.
The North has charged all these items and
many more; now they are brought up for
settlement, and il not cancelled, will not be
forgot ill ihe Muse of History gives up the
ghost. The No!ih has the American sen!i.
ment, the American Idea, puts the man before
the dollar-counting man the Substance, pro-
perry the Accident. The sentiment and Idea
OF liberty are bottomed on Christianity, as
that on Human Nature they are quite sure
10 prevail; the spirit of the nation Is on their
side-lhe spirit OF the age and the Everlast-
ing Right:
The Free Soil party has grown out of the
Anti-Slavery movement. 1t will have no
more slave territory, but does not touch Sla-
very in the States, or between them, and says
nothing against The compromises Of The Con-
stitulion-ihe time has not come for that
The parry has been organized in haste, and
is composed. as are all parties, of most dis
cordant materials, some of its members seem-
ing hardly familiar with the Idea some are
not yet emancipated from old prtjudices. old
methods of action, aud old interests; but the
greater part seem hostile to Slavery IN all its
forms. The immediate triumph of this new
party is not looked for; not desirable. In
Massachusetts they have gained large mum
bers in a very short period, and under every
disad vantage. What their future history is
to be we will not now attempt TO conjecture;
but this is plain, that they cannot remain
long in their present position-ei,her they
will 90 back. and, after due p%enance, receive
political absolutinn from the church of the
Wings or the Democrats-and this seems
impossi5!o;-or else they must go forward
where the Idea Of Justice impels them. One
day the motto, "no more slave territory"
will give place to this: mo Slavery in A.
merica." The revolution in Ideas is moi over
ill that is done, nor the cor!espo nding revo-
luton in deeds while a single slave remains
in America. A man who studies The great
movements of maL.aind feels sure that that
day is not far OFF; that no combination of
northern. and southern interest, no declama-
tio:;, no violence, no love of money, no party
zeal. no fraud and no lies. no comprom; Sc,
can long put of the time. Bad passions will
ere long league with the holiest love of Right,
and that wickedness may he put down with
the strong hand which Eight easily be ended
at little cost and without any violence, even
Of speech. One day the Democratic party OF
the North will remember the grievances
which they have suffered from the South,
and, if they embrace the Idea of Freedom. no
Constitutional scrnple will long hold them
from this work. What Slavery is in the
middle Of the nineteenth century is quite
! plain; what 1t will he at the beginning OF
the twentieth it is not diiicult. to foresee.-
The Slave Power has gained a great victory
one more such will cost its life. South
Carolina did no; forget her usual craft in vo-
ting for a northern man tina, was devoted to
Slavery.
