		Free Soil women editors like Jane Swisshelm and Clarina Nichols argued that God's "higher law" required politicians and true-hearted American citizens to do whatever it required to eliminate slavery in all of its locations, no matter the Constitution or any other obstruction.
		Free Soil men tolerated these arguments because women emphasized the moral issue of slavery, not the practical issues of law and politics.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 92, FREE-SOIL PARTY: Library of Economics and Liberty
		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.
		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.
		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 Free-Soilers' historic slogan calling for “free soil, free speech, free labor, and free men” attracted small farmers, debtors, village merchants, and household and mill workers, who resented the prospect of fl-labour competition—whether slave or free—in the territories.
		Though the party polled only 10 percent of the popular vote in the presidential election that year, it weakened the regular Democratic candidate in New York and contributed to the election of the Whig candidate General Zachary Taylor as president.
		In 1854 the disorganized remnants of the party were absorbed into the newly formed Republican Party, which carried the Free-Soil idea of opposing the expansion of slavery one step further by condemning slavery as a moral evil as well.

		The great Whig party of 1844 was one vast Free-soil party, headed by a Free-soiler whose memory is regarded with a reverence such as can be paid to no memory not truly National, and possessed of warm adherents throughout the length and breadth of the slaveholding States.
		This party is made up of two different sets of men, one portion Whigs who have unlearned the moderation of 44, but are in a much better state to be taught it again than they were two months ago; the other portion abolitionists of the school of Garrison and Pillsbury.
		The latter portion have covered the entire party with the odium of their own furious and demoralizing doctrines and have brought the term Free Soil to a disrepute which does not fairly belong to it.
