MARTYR. They drfted naturally into an aDsuru

II M without any coquettish pretence so long as
thcra was ANYTHING to be made by it, Through
tbis alliance. utterly gorged with inconsistencies,
they won seats in Congress and many places
of profit and honor at home. Pronounced as
were their anti-slayery views In theory, they
struck hands with men who had been bitterly
and fiercely upon the other side. Nor dld they'
when they meddled with public questions other
than that of slavery, show much capacity.
Their attempt TO amend the Constitution OF
Massachusetts, was n memorable failure, and
effected nothing. a time, however, was it
hand when the ant-sayely sentiment Wot'id
assume natural proportions, but before thaC
time came the original Free-Soh party OF
Massachusetts had been overwhelmed py the
Know Nothincs. and had almost faded from
mems memories. The resurrection came III
the Republican party, which had no entangling
and inconsistent alliances with the Democrats,
and into the new ranks, the old Free-SoiieIs
naturally driftcd. Their organization was
very short-liyed, and during its short career IL
made n great many mistakes. Not the least oI
these was the nomination of Mr.. Van Buren
for the Presidency i'll 1SlS. Mr. Adams read
at the Massachusetts, meeting letter from
that gentlemen, written before the Buffalo
Conyention-one of the most remarkable pieces
of non-committal which ever came even from
that hand. But it satisfied Dir. Adams, and we
suppose that it satisfied the Buffalo Conyen-
ton. AT any rate Mr.. Van Buren, was noml-
nated-fortunately he was not elected.
1t is only in the light of subsequent events
that the Free-SOll movement Of 1913 becomes
at all important. OF itself and unalded 1t won
no victories, but it helped the chaotic anu
slavery feelings of the North to something like
conference. and paved the way for the great
Republican movement. One Is surprised, CON
sidrrinc the materials Of which il was com
posed that it did not leave 4 somewhat brighter
and nurer record; but for what 1t did OF real
good the public should be profoundly grateful.
Some of its members have since won great
honor and enduring fame. Others whose
names once made noise enough nave sunk
into oblivion Perhaps the best lesson which
its short life and the glorious resurrection
which soon followed teaches, Is that the hearts
of the people are nobler and stronger than the
heads of popular leaders, and that the mere
management of party is of less Importance
than its principles. What is best and httest
survives in politics as i'll everything else.

rHr MASSACHUSETTS, TREFS0ILERs.


The reunion of the leading Free Soilors of
1913. and mainly those Of Massachusetts,, held
last Thursday, was a touching evidence of how
parties come and 90, Of how times change and
men change with them. Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams who presided upon the festive occasion,
and q lifelong opponent OF the Democratic
party, is now Democrat Mr.. Francis w.
Bird is in the same novel situation. But per
haps the chief popularity Of the meeting was
the fact that the party, the establishment of
which these gentlemen gathered TO commence
rate, was years ago dcfunct. The men who
formed it were mainly Wings who were dis
satisfied with Wing nominations with
sprinkling OF Democrats who were dissatisfied
with Democratic nominations, and specially
with the way Mr.. Van Buren had been treated.
The public feeling which was ostcnsibly APP
pealcd to was that of hostility to the extension
of slavery. The South was cauyng matters
with high hand, and controlling pretty
equally the action Of both Wings and Demo
Gratis: but in comparison with what has since
occurred, there was practically nothing to
arouse the anti-slaycly opinion Of Massachu-
setts 20 particular action.
The matter Of the freedom of the Territories
was, however, fully before the people, and wisc
men forcsaw that many things must be settled,
peaceably or forcbly. before all was over.
We have ample testimony now Of what the
public feeling must have been, but we do not
think that it was then fully cOmprehended by
party leaders. In fact, the prominent Free
Sellers Of 1913 were neither better nor worse
than ordinary party managers. They used the
popular conscience sound TO the core, as it Is
often used by ingenious men, but there was
nothing in the management of the little party
in Massachusetts, which now justiiies them in
assuming TIE air5 Of the self-sacriiicing

The friends Of honest National finances will
be gratifed TO lean that the Republicans OF
Ohio appear to be accepting, with a good deal
Of enthusiasm, the leadership of Gen. Garfield.
That State has long been n fruitful hot-bed
of bcfesics and iUuacies about the currency
and the public debt, and they have by no
means been confined to the Democratic party.
Every year there is an alarm lest the Republi-
can organization should be possessed by one
or more of them. No one has cOmbated these
dangerous notions with more zeal and con
stancy than Gen. Garfield. Since his first en-
trance to Congress, fourteen years ago, he has
been consistent advocate Of honest and
patriotic legislation concerning the greenbacks,
the banks and the bonded debt. A staff cor
respondent of THE TRIBUNE, who visited him
uDon his farm last week. draws pleasant
picture of his rural life, and repeats some very
sensible conversation on the position of parties
and the issues Of the day. His views upon
the silver resolution of the State Convention
are especially noticeable from the fact chat he
is supposed TO have drawn 1t. He wants no
deprecated silver dollar and 10 silver in
1atiOn, but is willing to try the experiment
of bi-metallic currency, If both metals can
be made to circulate on an equality. Only the
