The Columbian Under New Au-


Mr.. E. S. Hamlin has taken :he helm Of
the Columbian, the Free Soil organ of this
city. His introduction to his readers is per-
tinent, and plainly penned. He brings to
the discussion of political questions, fine
mind, ready intelligence, and many very
commeadable Democratic inclinations. We
think we already see indications that the Co
lumbian will not sanction the oyerru'inH in
fuence of Whig politics; that it will strive to
break Free Soil loose fromits present unnat-
ural entangements, so thatit may float, tree
and alone, on its own element.
Mr.. Hamlin makes this declaration at the
outset, from whi,h we learn that be cannot
approve of the Know Nothing organization.
We have wondered how any Free Soiler,
honest and intelligent, could. He says:
"It is due to you. tina; | should state
plainly the principles | advocate. | prefer
doing so, as | wish to conceal nothing, and
was ear taught that nothing good shuns
the light"
In another column, referring to this mat
ter, he says, Significantly and truly:
"The Know Nothing element had its ef
feet in the late election. 70 what extent it
contributed to the vctoryis uncertain. One
thing was plainly observable Wherever ii
generally prevailed, it smothered to great
extent the anti,slayery feeling"
And may add, smolhcred Wing and Dem
ocratic feeling aso-the former forever, the
latter temporarily. Mr. HamIin borows the
precise language of the Democratic resou-
ton, when he says:
II hold that the National Government and
the people of the Free States should be en-
tirely exempted from all responsibility for
the support and continuance ot slavery, and
that all its constitutional powers should be
used TO prevent It's spread, to mitigate and
finally eradicate the evil"
He gives different construction to the
Constitution from that which we give; but
he is doubtless as sincere in believing that
the Fugitive Law has no business on our
statute, as We are in believing that the Goa
slituion enjoins some efficient law on tha'
subject Whether Mr.. lIanin holds that
the law should be repealed altogether, oy
only modified, AS respects the trial by jury,
we do not exactly gatner from his expoSi-
tun.
In States politics. he lays down This pro-
gramme:
81. A reduction Of taxes.
"2. method OF taxation which shall as
sess every one, 50 far AS pyactjc die, accord
ins to what he is actually worth.
"3 Annual sessions Ct the Legislature.
81 Single Representative Districts.
as. A safe, uniform. and general Bank
ing law, to be submitted to the people for
their sanction or rejection, according TO the
provisions OF the Constitution"
In some Of these objects, we are with our
friend. Some have been already attained,
Annual sessions of the Legislature, will
doubtless be the policy of the State again
These questions we shall consider at length
in the future.
In another article, Mr. Hamln says:
while our friends are rejoicing az the
result of the elections just held, is there not
great danger that the anti slavery seni-
m mt of the country will be abs sorbed and
then neutralized?"
Then follows an exortalian to his Free
Soil brethren not 30 becaught in Wing traps

terms, both as regards men and measures,
as will secure our cause from all dangers :
He foreshadows the dissolution Of the pres
ent incongruous fusion:
"It is not to be expec ed that all those
who bave united to produce the entire rev
olutioa of the State in the late election, will
join permanently in such a party"
In other words, Free Soil feels that the
triumph ought to belong to itself---that
Wings ought not to steal its thunder--that
they will do it, if not watched-that the
only true party Of freedom is Free Soil, etc
BY the way, will Mr.. Hamln tell us Nhat
he thinks Of sqaatter sovereignty? whether
he is in favor OF restoring the Missouri line?
and whether he does not believe that the
cause of human freedom has been, as u
practical matter, more enrrgetically further
elby the American Democracy than by the
Wings. with whom he now finds himself in
eongenial coalescence?
We hear that the Columbian, under its
present conduct is to leave the precincts o.
the Journal office, and stand on its owr
foundation. Well, that is good start
