OZARK COALITION WITH THE ABoLi'
TIONlS rs"


Such, at length, is the charge sneerngly made BY
tho Fedsralists against the Republicans And ms
too after j. G. Adams has been striving ior ten years
To model the Abolition party for party PurPoses-lo
elect Mr.. Clay, Who once elected him.
Bot il seems that the Liberty men have IN reaii'y
ss much Independence the Whigs-cer,aiHiy as
much principle--and will not now, and never WIN
hereafter, support either the Wing candidate OF '''
Democratic candidate. And yet they are charged wan
having formed corrupt coalition with Mr.. Clay oy
the lroHgate Wings. j. @. Adams, Daniel "eo-
ster, Horace Greedy, c. NJ. Clay, &o. &C., inc P'"'
cipa Clay leaders, after trying Tor mon'h' ana years.
by toe most direct appeals to induce the Liberty me"
10 vote for MIR Clay, now turn round ana charse
them with a corrupt coalition with the Democr'uc
candidate for the Presidency, because 'hey arc 'e-
sol cd to vote Tor Birn y, t,eir own him aid ndon-
II a candidate MIR. w, b,ter says TO the Liberty
men, al you vote for MIR. Clay" Che did not TEL
them how much he had abused Mr.. Clay only year
and half before,) she will be elected. II you
don't vote for him, Col. Polk will be elected 30
that IL you vote for your candidate, you VIII De
coalescng with the Republican party" Such is
the profound logic Of our opponents 1t IS no ha'
for J. G Adams, Daniel Webster, and G. M. Clay
to call upon The Liberty men, in the glare Of an
Octobers midday sun, to unite with the Fedralists
upon Clay Oh, no. no harm in this. Their South
srn friends expect it. But when The Liberty men,
after listening with great respect 10 The Coon orators
signify their determination to support their own Dit
ney, the Wing leaders become SO vehemen'ly indig
nant that they do not hesitate 10 sound the alarm oil
"union of the Liberty men, with the Republican,
And they would rouse up the whole South, as one
man, against Colonel Polk and his friends because
tho support of Birney by the Abol tonist will add,
if pOssbe, certainty to the election OF The Re
publican candidate.
Surely these Wings must have hard faces and short
memories, to suppose they do with IMMUNITY that
which they charge as a monstrous outrage in 9th
er.
We append letter from Mr. Birney on the policy,
&C. Of himself and party;
BosroS, Oct. Is, 1874.
You have learnt that have been nominated for
the House Of Representatives Of the Michigan Lee
Ksature by the Democrats Of the County IN which
reside. No Liberty party organization has been
formed in that County The nomination has no re-
lstion TO party measures but was prompted by con-
alterations Of local interest My ne. hbors were
told that, if elected, | would serve the County,
whether 1 were nominated by the Democratic Con-
vention, the Wing Convention, or by seceders from
both these parties. so we're they, that would con.
s,der myself as representing the People and not
party. No pledge Of party service was proposed
none was gwen. expect 10 be voted for BY Wings
~ well a. by Democrats l have Ju received
letter from Wing Of Saginaw County, assuring me
that such would be the case.
II you believe what have stated you will say my
course is right; repeat to you, 1 am not under The
slightest party pt,dge.
have received letters from some Of you since
came here, evncing dsquielude, at the effect OF my
cry you, and they redoublng 1t. II you yield
10 it, will have enough Of such outcries. We
will be confounded and routed by the mere clamor
Of our adverssries II were TO give way to it now,
and yield TO the suggestions Of the alarmed among
US, they would have asursnces that | could be
frightened from my purpose See what has been the
resut OF this yied dung, IN the late election 10 Pitts
burgh. Our ffiends were alarmed at false and pre-
posterous issue, gotten up by our seducefs. They
will he without such arms, till they show that
they have set themselves, Ike adamant against every
such device.
To such Of you, then as feel disquieted, say, be
treasured. Give your conhdence-command
NINE. This mutual faith must exist, or shall &C.
compsh nothing.
i shall stand IN the position have tsken-equally
prepared to resist the shock Of open enemies the
panic OF real friends.
