Our Position

It is alledged by the Whigs and Whig papers of this State, and has been for the last tvvo years, that the Signal of Liberty is Locofoco in its character - that it sustains Locofocoism - that it is an ally of Locofocoism - that the editorsact in concert with the Locofoco leaders - that the doctrines of the Signal are nothing but Locofocoism in disguise - that it will eventually come out Locofoco in its character - that it has Locofoco editors, one or both of vvhom vote the ticket of that party - and about fifty other variations of the saine charge. The Daily Advertiser reiterates the silly falsehood almost as often as it mentions the Signal or Political Abolition, and seems to calcúlate that people will believe the calumny, nierely because it is often repeated.We have been the less forward ín re pelling this slander, because we trusted thatour paper, where it was read, would speak for itself, and commend itself to thé. judgment of évery reader. Nor have we been mistaken in this expectation. - Only two individuals, so far as we know, have discontinued the Signal on account of its favoring Locofocoism, and both of these, we are informed, are voting Whigs. One of these, we are assured, is an intelligent and respectable gentleman.- We will be much obliged to that gentleman if he will forward to us for publication, a statement of the evidence he has for believing that the Signal supports Locofocoism by uphoiding that party or any of its candidates, the proof to be derived fromthe columns of the Signal, and specifically quoted and referred ta, Lut as this gentleman may decline, we makc this offer to the universal Whig party of Michigan. We cali upan them, editors, publishers, politicians, essay ists, or whatever may be theïr vocation, to show, if they can, by quotations from the Signal specifically quoting each article andthe paper containing it, that the Signal of Liberty sanctións the Democratie party, or recommends its candidates to public support, or Has any alliance, connection, or understanding with the leaders of that'
