| | Both elements of the free-soil party were thus satisfied; the conscientious free-soilers, frequently called "abolitionists," had punished and demoralized the whig party, and the political free-soilers, commonly called "night soilers" by their hunker opponents, had punished and demoralized the democratic party. | | | In all the northern states, except Iowa, the free-soil vote was slightly decreased, owing mainly to the party's rejection of the compromise of 1850; in New York it had fallen to 25,329, the real free-soil vote, apart from its political allies in that state. | | | The platform of the "free democratic party" denounced slavery as "a sin against God and a crime against man;" it denounced "both the whig and the democratic wings of the great slave compromise party of the nation;" and it repudiated the compromise of 1850, and demanded the repeal of the fugitive slave law. |

| | Although the Free Soil ticket was not elected in the campaign of 1848, its very presence in the field defeated the Democratic party, and caused the Whigs to commit suicide by the extravagant length to which their party went in enacting the Fugitive Slave law, and other measures to nationalize slavery. | | | Like the present Progressive movement, the Free Soil party was the revolt of the free working masses against the encroachments of industrial servitude then championed by the slave-power. | | | FREE SOIL AND PROGRESSIVE CONVENTION 243 But while Ward thus frequently spoke and Douglass not at all during the Free Soil Convention at Buffalo in 1848, the attitude of these two leaders was reversed after the convention adjourned. |
