The Freesoilers and Young America.
A more thorough and comprehensive cave-in
than that of the Freesoil leaders, and of Young
America, in regard to the nomination Of FRANK
LIN PIERCE and WIN. r. KING, we have never
witnessed.
The New York Epening Post takes the mat
ter as kindly as the Washington Union. Mr..
PIERCE is as fully committed to the Compro
mise measures as any other man in the country =,
and especially to the Fugitive Slave law, with
out reference to the resolutions of the convention
which the Post treats as humbug and "farce."
He was the principal speaker at the great
Union meeting held in New Hampshire in No
vember, 1850, or Whereabouts, to which Mr.
| WEBSTER and the late Judge WOODBURY. ad-
dressed letters that have not been forgotten
Mr.. PIERCE spoke his opinions pretty strongly
touching Abolitionists and Freesoilers just at
that time; but the Euening Post is none the
less pleased with him on this account. So with
regard to Mr.. Preston KING, Mr. RANToUL,
| Gov. CLEVELAND, Mr.. FLOYD, and some other
gentlemen in the House of Representatives
| If they stand up to the spirit and temper of
their speeches-if they play out the game
| they have begun it-they will never support
| Mr.. PIERCE, or any other candidate nominated
| on the platform of the late Democratic Con-
venuon. But they will not play out their
game in the spirit protested but few days
since on the floor Of the House Then they
were Dragging on their individual account.
They thought the coalition in Congress Of the
Freesoilers and Secessionists, developed in the
Democratic caucus, was strong enough to con-
troll the delegates in convention, fresh from the
people, and prevent the passage of Compromise
resolutions. Therefore, they talked loud and
strong; but the Compromise measures carried
every thing before them in convention; blew

to creep out Of when he made his speech, but
the other gentlemen we have named closed up
every chink and crevice. IL there can be a
case in W ich decent self respect may call upon
men to repudiate a nomination, 1t is the case of
some Of our worthy Democratic friends who
have ute red such brave words Of contempt and
defiance during the last six moBths-men who
have talked and voted against the Compromise
resolutiuns-who have been amused beyond
measure by the alarm and zeal Of the friends of
the Union, because they supposed that they
would have every thing their own way in the
National Convention az in the Congressional
caucus. Now, what do these gentlemen in
tend ? Why, they will eat their words with
what appetite they may, and will shout them
selves hoarse in jealous acclamations over the
regular candidates.
Such is the force Of party--such the lust Of
spois. The Democratic leaders are tired Of
tarrying in the wilderness. II the convention
had nominated General Cas- himself, the whole
Freesoil party Of New York would have sup
ported him, just as they are now supporting
Mr.. PrIRcg. So it is with Young America.
