Mr. Claws Defeat.

The Federalists in this State say Mr.. CLAW
was defeated on account Of the Abolition.
lists of New York voting for Mr.. Polk. Let
US see how MIR. Greedy, OF the New York
Tribune accounts for it. #. 4s.y s.........s
use "a -..af From the Charleston Mercury,
Now that FaIsehood has failed. the truth I.
out!
Abolition and Whiggery acknowledge now
their identity. The N. Y. Tribune in accom-.
ting for the defeat of its party in New York,
says: ,sa ... .teesgs. .-
- ssWe are beaten--but how!
|. By the throwing away of some 1000
votes-nine-tenths of them WING on all ques.
tons of National Policy-on the Birney tick.
ct. We did believe that at least half these
would finally vote SO as to prevent the annex.
alton of Texas. Yet the false representations
of Birney, Leavitt, & Co., that Clay acas us
much for annexation, as Polk, and more Hkelu
defect 1t, SC. &c., have carried all these votes
obliquely in favor of annexation, war and eter.
nal slavery, &c. &C." ./.
So they acknowledge that NINETEENTH
OF THE ABOLITIONISTS of the Empire
State are WINGS. The ". Y. Herald has
the following. .'- II -=..
s'IHuloa0 Feed and the .4boEtionists.-
Now that the election is over in n. York, and
that the results of the recent canvass are
known, the Wing papers here are coming oat
one after another, letting out their secrets and
telling their orefs to the world, indicating
thereby how they have deceived and disappon.
ted themselves and their friends, and which
they never mean to do hereafter. One ofthe
most amusing papers in these days of Wing
lamentations, is the albany Evening Journal;
and one of the most amusing characters nhs
misfortunes is ThurIow Weed. Here is his
last lamentatlon over the abolitionisis -
"'-teaU York Conquered nrd Ens1aced.-The
Electors Of the State of New York have rem
dered their verdict in favor Of Polk. Texas,
Foreign Free Trade and Slavery! The whg
party after manly and noble struggle, has .
failed to accomplish its devoted purpose Of
protecting the interests Of the People and o. .
advancing the welfare and glory of the Re-
public. ....... ..-- -.....
That man never thonghs of feE President /
and as confessedIy unworthy of as un6t for /
that high office, shoald become Chief Mags I
trate OF the United States, excites equal al.
constituent and modification. And that man .
nominated expressly and avowedly to para'
ize American Enterprise and Industry, analo +
extend the boundaries and enlarge the pot
cal power of slavery, should obtain major.
ty of the sGff'rages Of the electors OF New York
is as astounding as it is disgraceful.
So There are several causes which conrt
buted more or less, to produce this iRgoriCw
result. But passing over for the present, In .
cldentai embarrassments, we come at once TO s
the paramount, manifest, unden able cause Of &
our defeat. The State of New Cork has beer s
given to the Texas and Slavery candidate ff !.
President by the abolitionists This fact will 6
be proclaimed by the official canvass. and
stand recorded, through all time, against the Z
protested friends of Emancipation Folks
majority in this State will fall below 5OOO'
while the vote thrown away upon Blrney
who was running as loco foco candidate II &
the Michigan Legislature, will exceed 1900 s
Such men as Birney, Stewart and Sm@
therefore, who have beguiIed and msled An' e
sands of honest men, are responsible for wtS' .
ever Of calamity befalls the country. The
great body of abolitlonists ale wings. The
abolition leaders are loco focos. The abot s
ton organs are loco foeo. The leaders and
organs have been false to the cause of emar
ciPation, and false to the Republic The VIII!
party, as such, is more truly and honestly de- 8
voted to the cause Of African emanci PaIN
than the mishamed Liberty Party"
So here is wing confession, mark you
that "THE GREAT BODY OF THE ABoIITIONIsr
ARE wHIGs." We would say "do not forge
this but there is no danger of cur being a.
lowed to forget it-for we shall soon be con-
WINGED that not only are ".the great body
the Abolitionists Whig"-but that the gr~
body IF the Wings Ore .RboEtionists, DANE
WEBSTER thinks SO and has run up the 0'''
flag. III:
