Haying so long known gr. Grow as a - .Free
Soil Man, I expected of course that he would.
attempt to • defend-himself on the ground Ot
supporting his Free Soil "principle's—which
he did. * Now, having been a Free Soil !nail
myself, I cannot 'wholly condemn him (Or.
being sick; but what I do Condemn is his mode
of carrying out his'principles. Ile ought to
support his principles and attempt to earrY
'them out in the party.' For inStance, whea,
a.Spcaker of the. House was to •be elected

the Democratic members that. it was 'their

Mr. Grew says that -25. northern Demo

claim-to bits Demeeratie as the. 17. But
he shOuld remember ;that • the 2.5 are aeting. I'
outside of the. organi l ation. '1 he first Com
mendment in the Democratic DecalOgue is,.
"Then' shalt not fdrsalte the pl'rty," and the
penalty attached to ensure obedience - is polit 7 .

sued. Their 'present position' may be well
illustrated by • reference to a.. period in .the 1
early history of our .country. - While we
were still edlonieS of Great : Britain, - 'certain I
fanatics here c,otemeneed. making a great-ado
about Freedom andtill that, and complained •
that the British GOVehtnent had „become ty:
ratinical . and opresske. . Now, if they real
ly' thought 'so,- What their duty air an in
tegral part.of the-British Empire? The ans.
.e;,r'r, in the light of the precepts of modern
Democracy, is easy. They shotild . have re--
frained from - all belting or agitation,. and
sought • to redress _their grievances, in . Ike
British Empire, andtnat out of it... Those
.who stubbornly set 4their own con c retions

subsequently procured the 'necessary lends
and released him from durance. : The bil for
