Joshua Leavitt pretends to consider the
wings and locoiocos equally pro-slavery, and
that he is equally opposed to both. We have
thought several times of looking over his pa
per and examining the number Of articles in il
against Mr. Clay, and the number against Mr.
Folk. correspondent of the Liberator has
saved us the trouble. He SAYS he lately ex-
amned copy Of the Weekly Emancipator,
and lound the following result
"Over eleven columns devoted TO the oppo-
s'ton of the wings and Henry Clay, which is
contained IN twenty-five separate articles; and
one Snort article, Of one-fillh of column, a.
ganst Polk and the Democratic party. In
those articles, Clay's name is mentioned lis
Tunes, and Folks name but 10 times in the
whole paper! The word Wing is mentioned
IN the paper over go times and the word DEM
ocrdt or Democratic but IS times!'
From our own observation, we should saw
That this was fair specimen of the paper, from
week to week. One would think from reading
u That the wings We're the worst enemies of
Antl-slayery, and the locoiocos comparatively
It's friends. The editor is promp to make char
ges against Mr. Clay, and never retracts them,
Whiie II he chances TO say q word against Mr.
ro'k, ne Is Wiling, nay anxious, to make all
repatriation in his power. And the Emancipa-
Tor Is not alone in this business. The papers
% me Ls6erty party are all alike in Mis re-
Peoa; ne Liberty Press, at Utica, N. r.,
the Bangor Gazette, and Others, are full TO o.
vertowing with abuse of Mr. Clay, while Folks
name is scarcely mentioned. Now we want TO
know what the meaning of this is, unless they
want James X. Polk elected, and so endeavor
to de'ach votes from the wing party, and let
the Iocoloco party alone How long will Whigs
be guled by these pretenders to philanthropy?

from time 10 time, such negotiations with the
several maritime powers of Europe and Amer

abolition OF the African save-trade, and its nj

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR MAnMADuKE.

The following paragraph from the ST.
Louis New Era, gives some information
of the gentleman who is now governor Of
this State.
Gov. Marmaduke is a native Of Virginia;
has resided in Saline for probably fifteen years
past; is man Of wealth, and his economical
management will render him more wealthy. He
is not man Of great talents, nor does he pre-.
tend TO be man Of much education or literary
requirements. He is man Of plain good sense;
friendly, hOsPitable CITIZEN and in private life
gentleman OF many good qualities. He is a
thorough. going Loco Foco in politics, an ultra
Hard and is ultra on most Of the questions now
before the public. He acted as President Of The
Senate with as much fairness and liberaity, as
we could well expect from decided political
opponent. We thinF that he is frequently car.
ried quite too far by strong political prejudices
and prepossessions, and that he is governed quite
too much by party feelings; but we still entertain
the hope that he will administer the government
fairly, and not permit himself to be controlled by
! the CiiGu9s that commonly set themselves up 10
manage the affairs of the Executive Department.
! Such a course would contribute much to his per.
manent reputation.
