power save the election of Gen. Scott, can pre-
vent the contamination of the schemes of the |
Nashville Convention.
But in the face of all this, thousands Of men
who cherish Wing principles, will probably throw
away their votes upon a third candidate, thereby
weakening Gen. Scott, land proportionably strength
ening his Pro-Savery adversary, because it must
be admitted that EVERY WING VOTE CAST FOR HALE
is VOTE LOST TO SCOTT, AND VOTE LESS AGAINST
THE EXTENSION OF SLAVERY. 1t is not the handful
of Free Sellers that the slave power fights or fears
SO long as it. acts an isolated faction; But IS
THE GREAT ANTI-sLAvERY MASSES OF THE WING
PARTY NORTH, WHICH STAND BETWEEN THEM AND
THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THEIR SCHEMES.
The main object of the Free Sellers, is to main
tain their organization, and make demonstra
ton of their strength and purpose. They make
mo such absurd calculation the election of Hale,
nor even hope to carry single State. Admitting
that the conscience of a Free Soer will prevent
his supporting Gen. Scott directly, yet would it
not be better to indirectly aid his election than in
directly aid the election of Pierce while directly
voting for Hale? Can a Free Soil Wing give
any other than an affirmative answer? Certainly
not, unless he is Sham-ocrat at heart
SUPPOSE THAT FREE SOIL WINGS WOULD ADOPT
THE WING ELECTORAL TICKET OHIO, AND PLACE
OVER 1T THE NAMES OF HALE ANJ8JULIAN. Let
them count and publish the number of.such bal
lots cast in each township or ward.
Should such course be pursued, tlrese results
would follow !:
1st. The Free Soil party would maintain its or
ganization.
Cd. The vote for Hale and Julian would be
enormously swelled above all former elections and
would be at least four times what it will be, pro-
vided they are run,o separate electoral ticket.
Sd. The number of such ballots would indicate
tba of in
make powerful demonstration in behalf of Anti
Slavery. while, if third electoral ticket is run,
tens of thousands of Anti Slavery men will not
commit the folly and wickedness of turning the
State over to Pierce and the Slaveocracy.
4th. The number of votes thus cast would show
the number of Free Sellers who pronounce an en-
phatc condemnation upon the Fugitive Law, and
a stern rebuke to that. portion of the eighth
Resolution" touching that law, which was foisted
upon the Wing Platform at Baltimore.
9Th. The number. of ballots thus cast would ex-
hibit to Congress the mighty host who had entered
their solemn protest against all schemes of the
Shareholders for the spread, of the peculiar nstitu
ton. -
9TH While the vote for Hale and the Pittsburg
Platform would be immense, the defeat of Pierce
would be crushing. 1t. would knock the Cuba
Fdlbusters business to old Nick whence it origi-
mated, and weuldlay all schemes for the extension
of slavery, on the Shelf
18th. 1t would break up the tyfannical two-third
rule IN the Locofoco party, and DESTROY THE PRES
ENT oyERsHA DOWNING sINELuENCE. AND DIeTAToRdAL
CONTROL OF TIE sLAvEHpLDERs OF THAT PARTY
AND TEACH IT TO PAY A,DEcENr RESPECT TO THE
OPINIONS OF FREE-MEN.
9Th. It would enable nti-Slavery Wings to aid
lin promoting their old and cherished principles of
National Policy, WITHOUT n COMPRO o.
MISE or CONSCIENCE ON. THE FU.
GITIVE LAW
