The Democrats having more cemlson sense, and less
dogged oBssnaey than lie Wings. dropped their own
candidate and eisce4 the Free Soiles. They thus
cured az advantage which the Wings might have had
aud Ct which they were sufficiently aware, after II was
ton late to secure il.
The Free Soil men Of Ohio, went ito the State cleo

pozsfbs as to secure the election Of United States
eaator y,ho should he tue to Freedom and Humanity
They had two candidates ia view, one Of Ba9n was
forDeGiy whig and The other democrat. Holding
the balance Of power ia both branches ofie legislature,
they would very naturally ''coalesce' with the party
which showed The Of disposition to be on good
terms with them, FAR nominate fgr Senator one
who had originally belonged to that party, giving them
the benefit Of whatever proclyiy there might be in his
mind toward them, COMPOSITIONS which do involve
the distinctive principles Of the Free Soil party On
those principles, they can, Of course yield nothing 10
either party, IN the choice Of a Senator.
As the present Free Soil Senator from Ohio, Salmon
Chase, formerly democrat, II seemed 70 us be,
far that the one DOW be elected should be one who
formerly whig, provided the wings chose to ad
in electing such one. And we supposed it was in
view Of such arrangement that the Free Soers first
offered candidate Cor speaker who elected 10 the
House by whig votes, IN opposition to democratic
candidate. But the wings acting as they are very apt
to- like the dog ~ho his shadow IN the water, and b.
euiching every thing, lose what they otherwise
might have, rejected the overture and are now beail-
ing the consequences Of their own mistake.
We do not know, Of course, what direction things
may take il the Ohio egislature-shether the Free
S0ers viii ''coaesce with the Democrats or with the
Wings, either neither, nor whether a Senator rnay
be elected with Democratic or Wing preferences, 81
whether any election all may be mads-but, Of thi.
we do feel certain, that they will not coaIesce'' with
any party at the sacrifice Of any principle, or consent
50 lar their votes may 60, the election Of any
Senator, who viii not be true to the fundamental
principles Of the Constitution and the Free Soil party
The Fee Sellers consider their own distinctive princ
pies paramount to all others. Members Of both the
other parties profess the principles but hold them
secondary to other questions. There therefore, no
obstacle in the way Of union in the elections without
any sacrifice of principle either side, and we there
fore feel strong assurance that election will be made
and that will be putin the senatorial chair who
will do honor Ohio, and to those by whose votes he
shall be elected.
