ehusetts ca themselves democrats, us they do in
Vermont-and SO these coalition democrats (ali-
az free soil democrats alias erfrce-soil demo-
crats) attended in full force. Some of the Hun

So, most evidently, here was Democratic
convention of the coalition stripe. 1t was ri.led
by the very men who last year united with the
Free soil party to overthrow the Wings of Mas

ing their purpose, made loud professions Of de-
yotion TO liberty and ireesoillsm. Now these
gentlemen had TO make a National Platform, and
elect delegates to the National Conventlon.--
What splendid chance to make National
LIBERTY Pr TroRM--to speak out boldly the
genuine, true hue FREr SorL sentiments of the
great Democratic party Of Massachusetts
and to elect delegates who will manfully hold
up the glorious BANNER or FREEDos in the next
Locoioco National onvention, and defend il to
the last gasp. A democratic convention, two
thirds Of the members Of which were ooen-
mouthcd freesoers in Move nber last, would of
course DO all this, and nothing shorter " ell

eiples; and III did elect their sort OF free soil
