The foregoing sentence, and who has been
Iei1 to conduct the Statesman during the
absence OF the Editor, should wake up and
learn the TRUE meaning of the term Free
oo'ier, before he again attempts to enIigh,.
en- the public on this subject. For eve,y
well informed man must know that a Free
Soier is one who would prohibit bv law the
introduction OF slavery into any territory
Ut the United States. But how this sub.
Editor ever got il into his head, tina, those
who are opposed 10 Congress passing any
law prohibiting slave holders from taking
with them their slaves to any territory OF
the United States, are Free Sellers, wa
cannot comprehend. Those who are in "a.
vor OF leaving tito the people, who settle a
territory, to determine when they 20 10
form State government, whether it shall
be tree or slave State, cannot be branded
with Free Soilsin. The article in the
Statesman bears upon its face an Indirect
attempt of the writer TO brand all as Free
Soiers who do not deny the power of Con.
gress over slavery in the territories, al idea
that never entered the mind Of Col. Switz.

his post he will set this Free Soil produc.
