"The Free Democracy are hurraing the success
Of the old line Democrats" say the Taylor Wings
Well and what of if they are? "Oh, their success
is not free soil success and to rejoice in it proves the
hypocrisy Of free soil pretensons Well we have not
been very bosterous in JOY but we seek no con-
cealnent of the satisfaction it gives Tayorism
defeated and the UhigS know that as free snilnrs.

which cannot be secured to the Free Soil party9 The
Democracy, they to the of free
dom, did not dare to offer savehoding candidate
for the Presidency. The Wings did it, and before the
sound Of their thunder against the election of "sare

err, if guilty, they~w not be condemned by the
law, swing from the rope We, the Free
Democracy rejoice in the election to Office of democra-
tic candidates who not pledged to the Proviso.-
The free soil Wings have themselves elected Presi-
dent of the United States who is pledged to the
Proviso, and who is pledged TO Sasery by the owner
ship of three hundred slaves and they threw up
their caps, fired cannon, and uttered one long hurra
which is yet echong and reechoing among their
ranks. Yes the free soil Wings have done all this
and are now denonncng the Democracy of New York
and crying shame on John Van Buren,, because they
have aided in electing State offices men who are not
sound on the Proviso." Not sound! VIII our Wing
friends tell in what their unsoundness consists -
All, there's the rub it is the rottenness which af

its pains and penalties We recolleet that in our re-

free soil test had nothing do with the election of Off

the question is not to be decided herebut away down

do change with the changing phases Of Taylorism
But we "rejoice the of the Democracy
in the Stare States" say they. All, but the question
of Slavery is not at issue in their State elections any
more than in ours-they not agitatng the question
of emancipation yet-and if they were, the Wings of
those States violently proslavery their OPP
ponents Either party will send pro-slavery men to
Congress- where, Wing opponents do say, the great
battle is 10 be fought Besides, the of South
ern Democrats ensures strength to the opposition that
destined to keep the present Administration from I'M

and maybe, aid in getting it up to good work

of its free soil escucheon
