Birney, of Saginaw, gave a very able and spiriled addressto thecitizens who had asscmblcd from different partsof the County. The House was filled to overflowing with the most virtuou8 and intelligent part of oar community. The profound stillness which prcvailed and the deep interest with which the audience listened to the speaker, beirayed the effect of Mr. B's just and very appropriate remarks. which riveted the attention of the assemblage for two and a half hours. The principios of Liberty though they burn less brillinnt than those of log cabins, hard eider, and coon skins in 1840, yetthey are more potent and formidable, and always prevail when combatted by investigation and honesty, and we believe are destined lo overeóme every obstacle with an enlightened and virtuous people. Immediotely after the address, the House organized by calling J. Wing to the chair, and apppointing Wm. Chambcrlin, Sec'ry.
