E<g The New York Evening Post AFTER drawing sweet
consolation from such profound and faseeing journals
the Waukesha Democrat and Waukegan Chronicle as to
the Of Free Sellers in Wisconsin and northern
Illinois, says:
ave are glad see that our brethren ofnorhern Illinois
and Wisconsin. who, in lo4s rallied by thousands with New
York resist injustice this state in which most of them
were IN, are with US still in effort restore in the
uona government the doctrines of 90 and The honest adj
mnisraiiNe usages of the better days Of the Republic
We know not what was the motive which ami
mated the Post in 8Is, but it is fair inferene e
from its present course and the paragraph we
quote, that it was no higher than mere revenge
for wrongs, fancied or real, suffered by the fac
ton to which the editor belongs, from the faction
ton to which he didn't belong, or from the party
Of the nation. But it strikes us that the Post
gives the Free Sellers of Wisconsin and northern
Illinois credit for entirely too much sympathy
with the private griefs of New York, in suppo-
sing they had no higher motives in their action.
We, for one, do not enjoy the felicity of having
been born in New York, and of her griefs at that
time we knew little and cared less, and such, at
least in this latter particular, was the case with
nine out of ten with whom we acted. We are
quite willing that this editor shall confess to all
the delinquencies, moral and political, of which
he has been guilty, bu, we protest against his inn
pIicating innocent and honest men. 1t is simply
absurd to suppose that the effort made in this
state for the free soil cause and the ten thousand
votes cast, were impeed by sympathy for griefs
felt thousand miles off. The free soil party &C
ted not from revenge, for it had nothing to re-
venge, but from high conviction of duty That
duty yet remains, and although, as is quite natu-
raj, men acting from such motives as the editor
of the Post, should return to their atfinites, yet
undaunted, the great body will carry out in good
faith, the pledge made to fight on in the good
cause till victory is won. And we suggest to the
Free Sellers of l848 whether they do not owe it
70 their own self-respect to vndcate themselves
from such aspersions. Those who now 90 for
Pierce and King, may well be suspected of no
higher motives in their opposition to Cass than
is attributed to them by the Post. Let US at least
be men, and make no public confession of such
a weakness.
What the Post means by restoring the govern.
men to the purity of '9S, and to its better days.
is not very apparent under the circumstances.
Adherence to the Fugitive Slave Law is really
the only distinct measure involved in the platform
of the Posts party and avowed by the Posts can
ddate, and in another part CT this same Post it is
stated that this Fugitive Slave Law business TO-
nores entirely the doctrines of '98. So the Post
proposes to restore the doctrines of 9S by labor
ing for the success of measures which according
to its own admission are directly opposed to these
doctrines.
The Post has got pretty badly in the mud, so
that these wrigges on its part are not surprising
but we hope there are but few others disposed
to hunt in the same ditch for the doctrines of '98
and the "better days Of the Republic
