would be defeated. But the barnburners, headed
by the repenting old apostate Of Undertook, have
agreed to drop the negro question, and run, they
did in our last State election, entirely upon the
broad and comprehensive principles Of the public
plumber. party thus united generally sticks like
till the spoils to be divided At that crisis
it is comparatively easy work to get up mutiny in
the camp.
But what ore the prospects of this free soil
ment? AS we have remarked heretofore, we be-
lieve, that one way or the other, it will be decisive
Of the Presidential election. We also believe that
if General Scott is defeated by this balance
of power, it wil be the last Of the national
whig party. At best, the wing party has run
to sced-run itself out; and in, the South it
has q mere nominal existence It's original iden.
tity, and principles, and spirit are all gone. 1t is
but the ghostly shadow of what it was in the meri-
dian pride of the glorious days of 1925 &c. and 40
So that if General Scott is defeated, this North
ern wing party win merge itself, Seward and all,
into the progressive party Of the ''frec democracy
The abolition, free farm women's rights and inter-
vention party; and the wings of The South may go
to the dogs. On the other hand, if General Scott
is elected, Seward will have voice in the cabinet,
especially the kitchen cabinet, of which he will be
the "chief cook and bottle washer A foothold
will be gained in the adminstration-the ear of
the throne and the power of q master consprator.
While, therefore, the election Of Scott would in
evitably be the promotion of Seward it would also
favor the ends of Mr.. Chase, in rebuking the demo-
cratic party, in advancing the cause Of free soil and
abolition, and in making the cabinet itself help
less instrumental mere machine in the hands of
Northern agtatOrs-just like the cabinet Of poor
old General Taylor.
What may be the effect of this great heteroge-
neous free soil movement cannot be safely conjec-
tured short of the action Of the Pittsburg Conven-
ton it is thought that John =. Hale, having
Withdrawn, MIR, Chase himself will be made the
Pittsburg candidate, probably with Wilson
Adams, of Massachusetts, for Vice President. Per.
the .stated preaching of the Gospel at Sandy Hill,
may be put second on the ticket, should he consent
to join in the movement, and induce John Van
Buren, and the rank and file of the barnburners to
swear of from Pierce and King and the Baltimore
platform. Seward is out of the question. He has
set his traps in another quarter He is whg asl long
as the work of demoralzing the wing party to his
purposes goes on so prosperousiy But whatever
the Pittsburg ticket may be, have had some fore
shadowings of the platform. at the Worcester and
other preliminary conventions. Ii will comprehend
great deal of almost everything in modern phi
lanthropy, philosophy, spIitualiz, socialism,
and rank infdelity. 1t will embrace the clements
OF treason against the Union and the constitution
against society, and against the principles and the
book Of the Christian dispensation. 1t will be pro-
gressive, destructive, bloody and demoralizng and
promulgated 10 the world by the most arrant set of
bigots, fanatics, lunatic old women, demagogues,
and rantipg towards ever assembled togetheru under
the stripes and stars, we may judge of the affair
by lie noisy preparations around rs.
This third party, thus organized, will draw off
the loose materials probably to considerable ex-
tent, from both the Baltimore tickets; but from
the position and influence Of Joshua r. Gddings,
in Northeastern 0ho--from the materials com
posing the free soil gatherings in Massachusetts
and elsewhere-it would seem that the wing party
viii lose most by this Pittsburg movement. In
deed, the danger from this source to Gen Scott,
in Ohio, is already admitted by his friends; the
same danger is manifest in Massachusetts,; and IN
spite Of the slippery movements and conciliatory
schemes of W. II. Seward, the same detection has
broken out in New York. 4 few thousand votes
viii settle the question in Ohio and Nov York.
The party most nearly allied, heretofore, to al the
crazy crotchets, isms, and monstrosities of the
times, win be very apt to suffer most FROM the st
tractiyo platform Of the Pittsburg Convention.
But let await tho result The next thing in order
is the of u. L. Butler to the letter OF Sena-
tor Chase. What says Mr.. putls.l Kiss the book
Guilty or Tot guilty!
