Attitude Of The Whigs

-;The attitude of tiie Whig party in Michigan, at the present time, as it appears to us, is that of entire prostration as upon their knees, befoi'e liberty men, entreating them to forsake their own principies and vote for Henry Clay. Exhortation, entreaty, argument, importunily, and all the powers of rhetoric, are successively used. We should be exceedingly glad to accommodate our friends of the Whig party} were it consistent with our prior obligations to ileriymdjuslice, but in this particular we must persevere in our ' refusal. We cannot accommodate them; and we consider it nöt at all compiimentary to us, to make a request involving, in its compliance, so base a desertion of our own principies; and that, too, for the purpose of trying to elévate a ölaveholder to an office which it is very Üoubtful whether he can attain, and which, ?hould it come into his possession, we believë would be prostitufed for the strengthening of the chainsof which bind nis fellow countryman. To Liberty men, ve would say, listen not to them, "charm they never so wisely."
