This paper, edited by Mr. VIM. LLOYD Garrison
after publishing a letter from Mr.. George w. Wei

Clay opposed Convention in that State. sa,s:l
| " How can the North without degrading herself
and infiicting lasting injury upon the cause OF
human Liberty, support such man for President
! OF the United States! This is a question which
honorable and candid men IN the Wing parry would
do well TO consider, before the heat Of fiIe prcs
dental contest has warped aud perverted their better
judgment"
From the Enancipator.
" Now we have no authority to pledge or control
the'otes OF the Abolitionists but give II frankly
as IN obvious inference from tho above facts
ahd II IS all the inference wish to makc-that for
Abotloniss TO lend any support such u candidate
Will be to renounce their principles aud nufy their
measures, aud that II will be honorable for Aboh-
onisls TO allow any other candidate to be elected
without their votes than Tor them give Their votes
under any circumstances, TO Henry Clay"
THIS must certainly be regarded checking an

Clay, says:

Bat 1t is the climax OF lmpudence, IN supporter of
Martin Van Buren,, whose course on the Missouri
question, and whose vote in the New York Conyen-
ton, in favor OF comforting the right of suffrage on
Tree negroes, are yet fresh IN the Public memory,
even indirectly TO insinuaic such charge against
Mr. Clay. Men who indulge in mputa,ions Of this
should themselves come INTO court with " un-
spotted garments which they do not, who support u
Missouri Resrlconls, aud an advocate of Free Ne
gro suffrage"
We have thrown together these contradictory
opnions-these ncu,rallzing elements Of an over
heated, rather than candid aud well reg II ,ied
conroversy-to show that there is no good reason
for charging either of the two great Political parties
OF the country with beng Abotonlss, and that the
charge cannot be sustained against either the Pres
dent or Mr. Clay. Both, we believe are friendly to
the COLONIZATION Society, and the cause of general
Liberty nor will we imagine that either would de-
sire their friends bring 10 their service any other
weapons than Truth and Justice No.
