The State Central Committee To The Liberty Party Of Michigan...

We desire to speak witli candor of the VVÍiigs_ Even if honcst deulingdid notcnjjin fairness) our óld precüloclions are with tlicm. Let us ilicn give Ihem the benefit of' thoir own vindicalion. They say the northcrn Whigs act witli t!ie liberó y party and tliat the Congrè'gi&jonéi gugj is eupported but by the union ofdemocrats and soutliern whigs. Wo grimt thi?, nay more, we wil] concede to the whigs fur arguments sake, what we do not bejleve in fact, but wliat they claim williout '%videncoj that the northcrn whigs would in_a body go for some of" our measurcs. What does all tbis prove, except their own irnpotence to ciTect. ariylhirig? Their thorongh and unqualified powèrlessnèss to accotnplish even the ub'olitibn of the gagf. They are at present possessed of power to an extent none ever expect to see renewed. The Harrison viclory like a monster surge of the ocenn, swept alibeforeit; none ever wiinessrd, none ever will witness its cqual. nnd like the ocean wave it had :io sooner altained its Iieight a'iid eap-uiphcd nl!, than it roüed back vvitti teartive force - slrong as tnat wliicii had impelled its on.iGt. Daniel Webster hönestjy avo.ved in lijs Boston speech, that whigs nsver culd expect a rènewal of such power. ïf t!:en, the whig?, after sucli an unparalolled victory, with decisivo ivprluiig mnjóritiès in both house?, and with eyery iio'rlnern whig ünanimons, cannot support liberly of petition, t!ie alpliabet of every politicul creed and tlie oxiom af our Ci nstitui jon, v!mt lnv e con t bey oníertain for the future, or what claim have they 0:1 o;ir confnlence? They rnay irilendl ever so vvell - but the hiun'.lialing fact of their inabili.y is undeniablc! Wc are not howjv?r done wil h these proffissions. Are tlie nordicrn wliigs actuaily vvith us? Are they witli us even in this State? Let us test tiicm. What is our first desire - our greatest and most anxious lioje' to abplish slivery in the District of Columbia. Are the whigs of Michigan with us on this point? How ppenlis íbéir organ? Says the the Ádvcrtíser of 2St1 November, 1 C 12, (the electiori beuig then past,) "We are NOT prci'ared to say that slavery should be abolished in the District of Coliunbia!!'' Ilere the trut Ii is nvowcd, honestly and without evasión; thejournal spcaks out, as it should. the true sentinients of the party. It is also worthy of no!e. that this same article supports the r'ig'ht of petiiion, but on what ground, that i's prayér may be granted? ISro; but that. petitions may be rcceived as-a fonn, lo bc killed in sybslancc. After speaking of the incr.easíng hostility to soulhern policy, it adds - "already there are many at the north, who will hesitato long before they will vote for any slaveholder for president, and the number isdaily increasing." ilAbove all} we adjure the friends of Hcnry Clay to pause and ponder." The undeniable meaning of the wholo article is " receive petitions," their refusal is impopular and endangers.Henry Clay's election - llielr acceptance arnouiits to nothiüg. We are opposed to granting their praycr; lakc them, however, graciously, but lul the petitioners be far as ever from re alizing a single object of their desires; in other words; delude the abolilionists by specious words and acts, but graut {hem nothi ng a perfect commentary by the wav on the past acts of the whigs. Ye libeity Wliigs, who halt bet ween long cherished party predilections, and the cause of the oppressed and of country, viark this.'- mark wetl this avowal of the whig press - fiiendly to the continuance of slavery around our national govern ment - in favor of petition, while its prayer is lo be unheeded,and tnat shade of meagre favor, at least in part, because of their anxiety to elévate a Slaveholder to nur hig-hest office! What iiopo can yo have [rom .suca a party, vhoe deetls of omission and commisáion spealc one uniform language, that they are lied, by indissoluble ligament?, to tliat mainmoth power, that mies w.'ilg and deniocrat as H controla Ihcnaíiun, and wielils ïta resources, floorÜnrr natumal offices with tffcffr incumbents, and tbronging thar ministers around the thrones ofEiiLope, tüxing free 1 ibor (o repair the waste of the slave system, and at pleasure or undoing a party - seok ye the nucne of this "mammoth power?'1 Rsad it in every line of our nntional legislation- sce iL in evcry act of our foreign dip!omncy. Cla&p it in the hand of almost every naval, nñlítárr, or civil ofñcer of theUnsted States, behold it in the vast purchascd domams of the soitfh west, tha iuirserieb to geriniiiate, whal líe revolutionary territory affbrded notspace suilieient Cor-Dud feel it in the pecuijiary prescío ré around yon. Is your wheat vorth but ;37 oriO cc:its the bitehei, and yoir other stap!cs in proportion? It is the working ofihis conl rolling mont-ter, whose interest demandd tiie necessaries of lii'e at low rjue, Are thero 'hostilo eleinents,' in our iosiitutioni, or 'firebraiüló' in the nation? They are tlielegacics of a unholy compromiso with principie - the precurors but of rising evjís, and the first faint streaks which indícale the coming of the mighty body, that sent them to herald its approach. On every thing nalional, wilhin and abroad, you may read the mpress of one cont olling principie- slavenj. It is our brand abcoad, and if ever it is to give way to that of "Liberty," it must be through the effbrt of a party pledged toth? nccornpüshment of this principio, pure and undefiled by mixture with the dross of politics. Such is tho object of the Liberty party. For the Central Commiticc,C. H. STEWART, Chainnnn. OJTlic Legi.siature of New Uampshiro have enacled that any person of good moral charnclcr. on npplicalion to the Supreme Coatí, shali be ndmitted as an Attorney, and every party (o a snit orc;uise may appear xn person, or by ftny citizen of good moral chariclor. New Hnmpshire is a very Desnocratc State, ond this, we suppoec, -was designed to break down the monopoly of Jawyers. The ulility of the mèaéure is questionable, at least. (tA correspondent of the Philanthopist vvrites froni Columbup, Ohio: An important decisión was made t.o-day, by tlie Supremo (oiirt. A eolored mnn, nearer whitp tlüiü mulntto, had sued tlie i'idgeí of e'.ectioü for refurintr his vote in nne rf h? b'oitli en: roiiniiesjimd a half bred Indinn huls ed tbe jndjrp.s óf electinï] tjiir the same cause in one of thé Nortliprn Counties. The Court dec-ided thal botfi had a vight to voto. Judgre Read dissentet1. So now it is settled !:w in Ohio, that some colorrd men liave a right to voto, an;! that every body nearer whitetlian nnjlacto is a gooil enuugh white man to malee a Governor, ifllie m-ijority f his candidate be - only one. Thisj's a step." OJ. S. Biickinghiup. writes from Ireland ihatthero is no retrograde movement in the Tomperance reform. Every day htindreds fign the piedge.
