The Whig papers, not being able to find enough agamsl ihe Liberty party. from its professed policy or principies, are exteiisively propagaling statements taken from the Liberalor and National A. S Standard, respecting- wbat is called the "Embezzlement of the Emancipator." The object is to hold up Joshua Leavitt and James G. Birney as a conple of swindlers, who defrauded the rig-htful owneis of ihe prin! ing establishment of the American A . S. Society of pr operty to the amount of some 8BlL,000. We have read the statements of both parties, and find noth ing whatever which hos any tendency to implícate the integrity of Mr. Leavitt or Mr. Birney. The transaction took place in Marcli, 1840. The story is evidently revived after an interviil of several years, for party purpoees. Mr. Leavitt has given notice that those papers which persiFt in affirming thetruth of this story, will be called upon to prove it before the proper tribunal. But supposing" the allegation to be true, we do not see that need to affect the principies of the Liberty party. - It can only prove two men who were supposed to be honest and upright, are of a contrary character. Have rot other parties been in the same predicament? Did Mie Whigs ever hear of Jöhn Tyler? Yet who thinks of renouncing -Whií principies on account of his alleged treachery?
