Said editorretused to part with the manu-
script, on the ground of breach of conf
dence. The fact Of Mr.. Birney's acquics-
cence in said nomination and adhesion to
the party nominating him, is of general
notoriety in said county, and especially in
Saginaw city; and is further proved by the
following published declaration of G. D.
, Williams, Thos. McCaty, A. F. Hayden
and N. Beach, all leading democrats in said
county, and two Of them A. F. Hayden and
Mr.. McCarty, members OF said convention:
"One Of the delegates to the convention,
Ia gentleman Of truth and veracity,) held
on the 28th Of September last, stated that
Mr.. Barney Prcfossed to him to be Demo-
crat, and stated that he [Birney] would
carry out democratic principles"
