The OPPOSITION PARrY.-lt is daily becoming more
and more evident that The elements of northern opposi-
ton to the administration will be organized into free
soil political party, with VIM. H. Seward and John p
Hale as leaders The old wing party cannot unite its
scattered fragments The adherens, respectively OF
Fillmore and Seward can no more nlermix in a party
combination than oil and water will nteruix In the
State OF New York hree-hbs OF the wings have vas y
stronger free soil than wing prorvies and in most OF
the northern States the same remark holds good.
1t is manifest, then, that the hydra of abolilioDsm
fanaicsm. and dsunonsm is about itself as the
dominant opposition party in the country. This mon.
ser OF inghta mein-ihs party made up OF white abo.
lionlss, black sbollonss, and ugtves from slavery
this ratble OF dscord and destruction is organizing lis
motley forces for desperate assault upon the democrat
