I heretake ihe Tesponsibilii to assure our friends throughout the State, nn especinlly in Kalnrnazoo County, that tho Libert pnny in Richland is all eiect and will steer he hip through Mickory Polks and Miry Clay, sul int the bülloi box. 'Tis true, n great omount of deception is mad. uso of by the Whigs to seduce Liberiy men t vote the coon ticket, and it ís more generally tin case that these etale slaridere originated and ar 'pt in circ-.ilation by that eines of men who ar 00 cowardfy to teil the tru'h.
