IsALoGY BETWEEN THE CONDITION OF THIS
COUNTRY AND EUROPE.
The analogy between the present coDdi-
ton of this country and that of Europe. is
TOO striking not 10 attract attention. In
lS4S ihefe was an uprising of the friends
OF liberty ia both hemispheres. Thousands,
and tens of thousands sought to redress the
wrongs of humanity, by the cartridge box
there, and by the baliot-box here The
phalaux of Tyrauuy and of Mammon was
unprepared for so sudden an onset, and for
a moment their ranks were broken by the
vigilance of the shock. But despotism and
wealth have almost incouceiVable advanta-
ges IN contest with the honest and toll
ing millions. In Europe, they have the
military force,-a soulless machine 10 be
turned against the people who are made
TO mainain it. They have also the whole
ecclesiastical power, which leans upon the
government for support, and fights with
spiritual weapons for the masters, whose
plunder it shares.
In this country, owing TO our different
institutions, the means OF quelling the spir-
it OF liberty have been different The adj
minstration have am immense amount of
patronage at their disposal. They give con-
tracts 10 the amount of millions, and Sc
iect the contractors. Directly, Ct indirectly,
they appoint some thirty thousand office
holders and, by a lameniable reduplication
OF the powers Of evil, they control twice or
four times that number, who are aspirants
for office. Their influence bought over the
Slave Power, by surrenderng all our new
territory to the invasion of Slavery, and by
giving fifty thousand square miles OF free
New Mexican Territory TO be turned into
Texan Slave territory, thus aiding to the al
ready enormous size of that slave be gotten
State. Ten millions of dollars of almost
worthless Texan stock were raised 10 par
value by the signature of Milard Fillmore.
During the whole tendency OF the COM
promise measures, agents aud brokers, re-
puted TO be interested in this stock lowered
about the pureus of the National capital
The stock was transferred from hand to
hand, without record aud without daylight,
so that, besides the accomplices, Heaven
and Satan only know into whose posses
sion it came. And as though the means OF
patronage aid seducement on so magnifi-
cent a scale were not sufficient, a private
purse almost up 10 he figure of fifty thou
sand dollars, was presented to the "fore-
most man of all this world" for his aposta-
cy to the principles Of human liberty. lAp-
pause. These, fellow citizens, were
among the agencies aud seductions which
caused the discontinue of the friends of
Freedom in the National contest of 1850.
The tyrants of Europe had no vacant lands
or Texas stocks wherewith to put down
humanity, and SO they used gunpowder
and bayonels. Our slave power and It's
Northern allies, being debarred by the prin-
ciples OF our government from bullets and
bayonets, accomplished their Judas work
by the articles of scrip and ssdotaiian-" ("

ses, the generals Haynau and Radetsky
were found there ; the Senators, Webster
and Cass here. (Applause)
THE NECESSITY OF A FREE SOIL PARTY.
The origin and present necessity of the
Free Soil party may be briefly stated. Some
years previous 10 The annexation of Texas,
an apprehension was felt that that great
breach of the Constitution and outrage up
on Northern principles and feelings was
mejiIated. Mr.. john Quincy Adams sound
ed the alarm, but men were SO engrossed by
their business, aud by their local and tenn
potent and prophetic as il was, passed by
unheeded. Some respect, however, was
due, at least from policy if not from princi-
pie, to The many humble but earnest oppo.
neuts of so fragrant a wrong. Before the
consummation of that iniquity, the Massa-
chusetts Legislature passed strong resolu-
tions against it, The question was taken
by yeas and nays, and all the Wings and
almost all the Democrats recorded their
names on the side of the Constitution and
Liberty. But the slave-power then had pos
session of all of the departments OF the
National Government, and under the au-
spices Of slaveholding President, breach
was made in the walls of the Constitution
wide enough to let in foreign government,
with all its burden of slavery on lis back.
Yet, notwithstanding all this periidy to all
the principles of true democracy, such
was the external pressure brought to bear
upon the members of the Democratic party
that but few of them abandoned the ranks.
They sacuuiesed," as the modern phrase
is.. when any thing specially iniquitous IS
10 be sanctioned. They were told, as the
Wings are now told, in regard to The CON-
promise and The Fugitive Slave Law, that
the act was done and irrevocable. The
merchants were told, as the Wing mer-
chants now are, that if the number OF slaves
were increased at the South, il must create
an increased demand for whips and negro
cloths. And the more blind political pa,t'
sans were told, as the same class of Wings
are new, that if God designed TO stop me
heather -.lefying enormity Of spreading Sia
very over this continent, he must DO u y
some way consistent with the integrity o
the demecratic party. Precisely the argu
ments which were then used 10 seduce ant
corrupt the Democratic party into "acqni
escense," ARE used by leading Wings anf
Wing presses now for the same hnhallowet
purpose. They are alike except that IN !, I'M
one case there was the crime OF ORIGINALITY
