Additional Details

rare broadside attack on the free soil party, headed "J.J. Bingham, the editor of the State Sentinel. Mr. Bright's Special Organ," and concerns a meeting to organize "An Independent Political Movement. . .of those who are unwilling to wear the galling yoke of party, as prepared for them by heartless, dishonest, trading politicians of the North, at the bidding of the SLAVERY PROPAGANDISTS of the South. . .TO THOSE WHO DARE TO BE FREE INDEED. COUNTRY AWAKE! BOUND INTELLECTUALLY AND MORALLY BY PARTY SHACKLES, YOUR BETTER HALF IS ENSLAVED!!." The party here labeled as the "Independence Party," was actually the Free Soil Party in Indiana, which was a splinter group of the Democratic Party that had nominated Martin Van Buren for the presidency. Originally in the Oliver Barrett Lincoln Collection. We could find no other example.
