Sam and Slavery.

cy" or Free Soil party 10 act with the Know
Nothings at the coming election, by repre-
sen,ing Know Nothingism as being anti
Slavery. That our Free Soil friends may
not be deceived as to the real position Of
"Sam" upon the slavery question, we make
a few extracts, from an article in the Ohio
Columbian, the Central Organ of the Free
Soil party, in this State. We find the fol-
lowing in that paper Of the ?th ult:
"The next thing TO examine is the rela-
ton in which the Order stands to freedom.
We see the statement constantly made III
the public prints that it is in itself neither
pro.slavery moi anti slavery-that it may
strike one way at the North, and the other
way at the South. This may have been
true in the first days of its glory. We will
admit that it was true, and that good anti.
slavery men. like Senator Wilson, could then
take office from its hands, under circum-
stances as TO be able 10 maintain their in.
tegrity. But how is it now? The charge
has been long before the public, and re-
mains uncontradi2ted, that a new degvee
has been established to rule to Order. which
brushes anti-slavery out from its heart
II can now exist only in the extremeties,
where it can be kept in subsection"

"Now the KDow-Nothings have had their
N tional Convention, and on the heel of n
discussion of Slavery, have formed a new
degree, as a higher power, to put its foot
upon the agitation of all questions that tend
to disturb the regin oil Despotism in the
glorious Union The thing done is pre-
cisely that which was done by old political
parties, ON account of which we left them,
and came out as the Independent Democ.

"If Mr.. Brink FhoT is nominated by this
New Order party, as now organized. he will
STAND in tie same relation to us as those in
diVidually sympathizing candidates whom
we formerly rejected, because they bowed
down 10 the parties which cast their homage
at the feet of our great ENEMY, the Slave
Power. He stands in TIM same position in
deed, but in rather a mere Objectionable posi-.
ton. They were simply pledged BY their
party ties lie is pledged by his, and con-
frmed them with a great oath. Who can.
not but see that we must repudiate this gen.

slavery worshippiug party from the leader.

upon which We have stood as the Independ.

as sold and gomez"
We might, were it necessary. extend these
quotations from the Columbian, and other
Free Soil papers, 20 show Sans position
upon Slavery; aid also, TO show how the
proposition TO fuse win Know N~othingism,
is treated by the Organs Of that party; but
we deem the above sufficient to satisfy all
honest Free Sellers, that to fuse with the
Know Nothipgs is to abandon the principle,
for which they have heretofore c~ontended.
