W
"Free-Soilers in Michigan" an article asserting
that the Free-Soilers here are disunlted Now,
in truth, there can be nothing further from the
fact The Free-Soilers were never more united
and more prosperous than now. While we keep
our doors open for all who honestly wish to en-
ter, we are determined not to sacrifice a single
principle but to do all we can for the promotion
Of the good cause. The day, as set by the State
committee, appeared too early for many of our
friends; still, as the day is appointed, we acqui-
esce in it.
The Wings seem very DESTROYS of uniting
with us for Governor and the fall election; but
since we know that, in all such unions, the
Wings lay claim to the hons share Free-Soilers
are generally averse to it. Very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
JOHN T. GRIssoN.

o. Hon. Ayette Buckner, member Of Con-
gress from the Greene District Kentucky, who
voted for the California bill with the HIlu.ot
ProUiSO in it, is a candidate for re election. On
the 18th, he addressed the people of Boyle coun-
ty, defending his vote in regard to that measure
on the ground that he held il to be of paramount
Importance to secure Government for the Ter
rtorles, and he knew that none could be secur.
ed without that measure. He believed Congress
had power to organize a Government, in which
nothing should be said about slavery, and he
had voted for such bill. He believed that it
had power to organize Government, excluding
slavery, and he had voted for this, when the 9TH
or failed. We learn from the Frankfort Com
monwealth that his speech was well received,
and his reasons for his action on the Territory
Bill seemed to give general satisfaction. Up to
this time Mr. b. we believe, has neither whig
nor democratic opposition, though we have seen
the names of gentlemen of both political par
ties mentioned in connection with the oflice."--
