of $4,000, drawn on Thomas Allbone ~ Co., of

discount them, and stating that he passed through
the city at an early hour in the morning, on his
way to Washington, and hence put them under the
door. He would stop, if possible, on his return,
for his money; but if not, they were instructed to

MASSACHUSETTS FREE Son Party
The Free Soil Members of the Legislature
previous to its adjournment, issued a strong
Anti-Slavery Address, signed by Amasa
Walker, President, and G.. w. AIbee, Sec
rotary. After recapituIating the progress
OF Free Soil and Liberal principles through
out the country, it is determined to keep up
the party organization. 1t is declared to
be evident that the Free Soil party most
truly represents the real Democratic scnti-
ment of the country, and that this party
must attract to Itself all that free and rraer-
nal Democracy now intermiXed with the
old political parties. The planks of the
Buffalo platform are extended To the Hunk
ers as basis of union without any com.
promise on the Slavery question. The
following are the conditions of future Goa
lition:
The fundamental condition of the Free
7 aocracy, is that the Government Of the
ted States shall he Immediately and
preuer separated from all that response
Oility for The existence Of S0UeTy. Nor
can any one who does not heartily and
sincerely subscribe to this condition be re-
ceived within our ranks. We cannot ell.
list the timid or irrcsolute. We shall not
bend before Executive crowns" This
purpose is now resolutely declared by the
Free Democracy everywhere. In the pu>
ritan State of Connecticut, the firm course
of our friends has secured the public ads
hesion of two members of the old Demo
cratic party TO our principles, who, togeth-
err with one of our own number, have been
triumphandy returned to Congress. In the
young and vigorous State of Wisconsin,
tho whole of the old Democratic party,
cnraged by the treachery of their Senator,
have openly declared for the Buffalo Plat
form. In the State of Indiana, another
Senator alike rccreant to his duties, has
been hurled from office amid the ill.Sup.
pressed contempt of his constituents, to be
pampared by a slaveholding President at
royal court. In the State of Ohio, noble
son Of New England, has advanced bv a
single step. from the retirement of private
life to the Senatorial dignity. Unpledgcd
except to the grand cause of human free
dom, he now represents the third State in
the Union-a noble instance of that sue
cess which attends inlleXible devotion to
principle. In the State of Missouri in the
midst of a slaveholdng population, the
same iron>hearted courage is displayed
Last Of all, in the Empire State, there is
now presented an example of political con-
stahcy almost unparalleled in our national
history. In spite of scorn, ridicue, and
insult at the hazard of present comfort
and future prosperity, the Free Democracy
of New York have resisted cntrcalies and
deied threats, and now stand braveIy forth
protesting their unalerable fidelity to our
great cause.

Eighteen thousand five hundred were re-
