The BetrayaI---H How it
Works.

Since Mr. Birney's condition with the PoIkin, ,sy.
eral prominent members Of the Liberty party in AN
ny, N. York have come ont with an able addres. de-
nouncng the attempted coalition and expressing their
determination to vote for Mr. Clay. We have not
room for the whole address bat copy below The Two
closing paragraphs -
"'rhe entire Wing party is unanimous in hcirho,.
tlity to a nnexutou and the Wing press is dc.
mandatory OF the measure than the Liberty press -
We have noticed with regret that the Liberty press
is almost silent upon the subject, and in some nsn.
ces have advocated the doctrine of free trade and
manifest an ovcrbearng arrogance towards membe'
of their own party, who have the moral courage and
take the liberty to think and act for themselves and
even go FAR to rdicule and trnduce the charac.

WIN. II. Seward, and Cassius NJ. Cay-men who
have at least done as much to check the encroacl.
ment OF the slave power, and for the advancement Of
universal freedom, Messrs. Birney and Smith, and
thousand fold more than the men who are now I'll.
flying their phianthropic motives. Others may take
such responsibilities aud endorse such proceedings
but we will not.
"Principles, net Men," is our motto, nor will the
ter from putting them into execution; and we be-
lieve the intelligent honest and rejecting portion oil
our brethren in the Liberty ranks, will agree and act
with us. We have read MIR Birncy's letter of August
5, 1874, TO Mr. Everett, ofPttsburgh, acknowledging
that he is opposed to the distribution Of the public do
main, and Tariff for Protection. This is Loco TO-
co doctrine, we understand it. The one we con-
slider unjust, and the other dnti.Americcn, anu
both destructive to the interest of the People, nor are
satisfied with the friendship apparently existing
between the leaders of the Loco Foco and L'Oe'!
parties, nasmuch rs the Loco Focos have nominated
James G.. Birney for a Member ofihe Legislature VI

which has an extensive circulation, both No'" '"'
