THAT FORCED LETTER.-lt is now evident that
many thousands of votes were withheld from Mr..
Birney on account of the letter which was said to
be written by Mr. Brney to j. B. Garland, of Sag
anaw and circulated all over the country. We re-
ceived contradiction oft, and knew it to be false
about as soon as we received the letter, but this
contradiction did not arrive in season to prevent
The letter accorded with the statement of briggs
which had been circulated; it was accompanied by
the solemn oath of MI. Garland, and was endors-
ed by the Wing Committee of Michigan. How
could poor Liberty man deny its truth when it
was circulated IN every nook and corner of the free
states by the Wings and accompanied with all this
array of evidence3 But more base and infamous
lie was never circulated, and 1t was knolon to be
such by those that circuiatedit at the time. Such
an extensive conspiracy to lie down a good man
was never before known. We have seen it stated
in a number of papers, that the miserable forgery
was sent out from the different wing presses in no
less than six different states within twenty four
hours of the same time. How could this happen
without general agreement and arrangement to
have it sent out too the election for it to be
contradicted until after it was passed. Again, why
did these wing editors generally refuse to publish
it in their regular papers, but scatter it in hand
bills as thick as the leaves of autumn? 1t is pitt
full to see these sneaking, lying creatures, draw
down their faces now, and tell the people about
the dangers of Popery to our pure, free institutions
and try to get up a religious issue. Whatever ~
ing Popery has been guilty of, (and no doubt it
has been guilty of enough) we doubt lift can pre-
sent exploit of villainy in lying that will equal
this. J. C. A.

MOlOch and his Victims.

Shame on Maryland She is this very day we
fear, condemnng to a penitentiary good man for
an act of goodness-and act which be could not
have failed to do, if he had the opportunity with
out making himself before God villain and
coward. Shame on this free North-as it is most
falsely called. Poor trembling poltroons that we
are. Torrey is charged with doing only what we
praise our dead fathers for doing-ony what our
Bibles plainly command us to do-only what we
would curse any mortal man for not attempting
for US, were we in the slaves case; he is to be
turned in with elons for 1t, if convicted, and what
have we the free States done about it ? Where
are our Democrats, who go for man, man, MAN
immortal man, above all considerations of pelf?-
" hat have they done for their outraged fellow
ctizen' 0, they are busy electng a STAKEHOLDER
to rule them-a stakeholder who would put them
along with ToTey, if they had the courage to prac-
tice one title ofthe principles about equality which
they profess. The deep cry of shame comes a
cross the Atlantic from kings on their thrones
"Aha we told you So" But it does not wake up
such Democrats. They are democrats of the SPAN
iel breed They lick the hand that smtes them.
What are our wings doing' Maryland is a wing
State. Torrey, at the worst, has only done for
his country what the wing idol, Clay, counselled
us all to do for the Greeks. Are our countrymen
less deserving than Greeks ?
The Wings of Massachusetts are horror-struck

CHARLES II. ToRREE
TorreY's Trial.

Until within very short time, Mr.. Torrey and
his friends at Baltimore have expected that, in or
der to give him reasonable opportunity to prepare
for his defence, his trial on the Maryland ndict-
.nent would be put off until the February term Of
that court In the belief Of this, some things have
not been pushed as urgently as they might have
been; and now, at moment's warning, his case
is called all his efforts, and those of his able coun
sci to procure delay overrued, and the case is de-
finitively set down for trial O-nlorrOw-Tuesday.
We fear, with the advantage his adversarics
have and the desperate determination of the slave
holders to make an example, that the next news
we hear will be unfavorabIe. 1t may be, that this
amable and devoted abolitonist will he, even
now, like poor Work and Thompson and Burr, in
Missouri, consigned to the penitentiary of one of
these boosted republics, for the CRIME of having
performed one Of the simplest of Christian duties,
in aiding fellow man to escape out of unjust
slavery! 0, my country! When shall these
things have an end?
We have letter from Mr.. Torrey, written in
the expectation of this result, and showing the
same heroic martyr-spirt that he has hitherto
maintained, and will soon appear in columns.

C. G.. BRIGGs.

PHILosoPHER,-.The last Waterman, in
drawing encouragement to the wings from the re-
cent presidential Election, adds,-"There is the
third party-but it is prostrate-a suicide" In
1910, the Liberty party cast between 5000 and 7O0C
votes-this year they have cast between $4,000 and
100 900. In 1910 the wings obtained 2S4 electoral
votes to the democrats 6O-this year the democrats
have 40 to the wings 1O5. Now man who can
draw n conclusion from these premises, to show
that whgism is on the rise, and the Liberty party
ssprostrate-a suicide, fought to be taxed for his
faculty.

The Moral,

Whatever may have been lost or won in
the recent Presidential election; whoever
may have been the victors or the vanquiSh-
ed: whoever may sing or be sad at the re-
suit, one principle of eternal consequence
has been established: one lesson taught and
learnt of more moment to the we'll being Of
our country, than all other great interests
that have entered into the clements of the
conflict. If the silent suffrage Of American
freemen has decided, that no splendor of tai
ents, or grasp of genius, or power of efo-
quence and depth of mental erudition, shall
atone for the absence Of an unimpeachable
rectitude of moral character in the candid
ate for their highest honors if at the ballot
box in 1914, it became an irrepealable law
that no immoral man. however distinguish
ed as statesman or diplomatst, shall ever
be elected again to the Presidency ofthiS re-
public, then moral triumph has been
achieved, moral standpoint attained
which should reconcile every sober patriot
and Chr stan to the defeat of Henry Clay
To what other causes the loose charity
of party or the partizan may ascribe his fail
IRE of election, the sober sentiment of the re-
fecting community, will impute it to his de-
fective moral character. AS the heated ex.
oftemens of the contest Subside, this senti
ment, we trust, will pervade the nation
carrying with it the conviction, lasting anC
universal, that the religious community will
never, in any political emergency, dispense
with strict moral character as one of the
highest qualifications of a candidate for theil
suffrage
The leaders and the led Of political partie,
will do we'll to profit by this impressive lesson
And above all, we would hope that the gen.
GRAFTON just ready to assume and exercise
the prerogatives Of freemen, will ponder and
apply the moral of this election. If Henry
Clay with all his commanding force of gen.
ius and position; with a combination O
mental qualities unsurpassed by any Amer
lean statesman; if, with all the advantages
ofhis brilliant career, and the admiration
and confidence of millions, he failed, almos
within arms length of the guerdeon of burn
ing ambition, and failed for the lack of on
thing-a moral quali6cation-how then, cal
auy young man aspire to civil promotion
unless he keep the immediate jewel of hi
soul untarnshed-his character pure, be
