Tliis week vo cliccrfully givo up scvcral columns to the Communications of Messrs Treadwell and Hallock, the only rnembors of the Select Committce nppointed by the Siato Society to oddress Liberty men ngainst the views of Mr. Birney and others.who have not already roported.

Wc Vish our Liberty friends lo examine the whoh field deliberntely and carefully, view t!ic subjoct in all its hearings, make up tlioii minds fully,"and then co ahead !
