Greeley, of the New York Tribune, thus ansvvers a civi! questiun proposed by the Cincinnalï Herald: 'The Cinclnnati Herald, (Abolition) wants to know i f it will have our help to elect an antislnvery President in 1848. No sir, probably not. So Jong as you and yoür clan do your best to defeat snch anlislavery men os J. Q. Adam?, William Slade, Joshuu R. Gid dingt?, and scores like them, casting your votes .vo us to elect Gag-Law, Texas, Mail Robbery L'iccCncos to their places, we beg to bê exOfised Trom any alliantie yvith you Had some orty of you gone openïy over tö the locofocop, where you belmig and will ultimately latid, we shonld nnw have had an anti-Tex'i?, üuti-stop-tfie Mail, anti G{r Lavv President elect, insted of one vvho i.s just the opposiie on all these quesrions, and vvno voted ngainst oven a slaveholder's proposition for the more efFectual suporessiofi of the Ajricmi S!ve irade. Vou,Third-Party wire vvorkerti! Torced this man upon us, instead of the only antiTexas candidote who could possibly be elected. On your guilty heads shaïl reet the curses of nnborn generaiions? Riol in your infamy, and rpjóice in your triumph, but never a.sk us founite witli you in any thing! We prefer Ca houn and McDofBe to you. They at least fi{jht a rnanly batlle, and win what they win fairiy. You do the dirtiest journey work of n party which despises yon, and which will pay ynu for the victory yot hnve given them, by trampHng'on your petitions, and robbing the mails of your papers. And you will have the con.olalion of knowing that yod deserved it al!."' "We i'rf.fer Calhoun and McDüffie to yoü!" That was honestly spoken. It is just as we nlways thought. We süppoged' rtie whole party would truckle to the Slaveholder8, instend of sternly resiating their aggre3sj ioñs. Henee is seen the wisdom of the Liberty men in not trusting them. Whenbtung to madness by their defeat, they now acknowledge their real views, and imprécate "THB CUKSES OK UNBORN GE.NEIIATIOKS'' On OUT heads! Would Calhoun or McDuffie do more?OJ.The Chiücothe Gazette of the 7th November, says: "The statement published in our last, from an Extra from the office of the Genesee County Democrat, was brought to Colinnbus by our townsman, A. W. Mc Coy, from the town of Flint, in the State of Michigan, where Garland, anc the other partieswhose names appear in i reside. Of its authenticity, we had 110 nor have we now, the slightest doubt. - ir there be a forgery about it, the forgery must have been cotnmitted at home - arnong J. Gr. Birney's friends, where the act would have been exposed and condemned." (jQThe State Journal says thata mernbef of the abolítionpárfy who had concluded not to vote for Birney, was finall} prevailed upon by leading abolition partymen to vote for Polk. This we pronounce entirely fítlse, and cali on the Journal to produce thè "undisputable authority" on which it made such a statement. Pleaaesubstantfate your assertion, or retract it. 05a" The Whigs every where lay the blarfte of their defeat on Liberty men. - This is the height of injustice; hecause, as long ago as 1839, the antislavery papers generally notified the Whigs that we should never support Mr. Clay. With a Pull knowíeiíge of ofir uñánimity of opposition, they persisted in his nomination; probably agreeing with Horare Greeley, thr.t - "Wc must and will haveso other caxdidate tian Henjry Clav; for we had letter sitffer a d&feat with him, than yield the principie that we are to tote for a Slaveholderfor any office." They chose to go with the Slaveholders, and to them they must look for their revvard.(t5' During the recent polifical campaign a discussion nrose betwêen the Nafional Intelligencer and the Washington Globe, respecting a Polk liberty pole erected in the yard of a slave pfison in that city. The Globe declares thaf there are six or eight notoriousslave-traders in the" District, and etcnj one of them is an active, zealous Clay man; and ihat the Whigs, vvhen in a majority in the City Coimcils, in 1827 and 1836, passed the most oppressive and cruel lews respecting Lhe free peöple of color, which laws il recites,' and it álso flings it at the Intelligencer, that that aged nnd respectable paper, the special orgnn of Henry Clay, has constantly in its columns standing advertisements of these Wíiig Negro-traders, while the Globe has always refused such and has thereby lost the patronage of that class of men. Who would have expected an anti-slavery lecture from ihe Globe"? {C53 Jacksou and Shiawassee Counlies claim the pruisn uf naVing yivei the largest proport'onate vote for Liberty.
