Good Erampie.-The honest polticalsAb
olitionists Of Western New York, disguised by
the conduct Of the Sabbath breaker, Gerrit
Smith. and his fanatical associates. are COM
ing back by thousands, to the true Liberty
party-the Wing party. One gentleman Of
Onondaga County. writes to his friend in
Utica TO stop his political Abolition paper. to
which he had been a subscriber from the
commencement. SAYING
"What Loco Foco matter read after this,
must be undisguised and unadulterated. No
more Of this firing alder popguns at Martin,
and 74's at Henry Clay. / once thought the
liberty party honest, / would sooner believe
in Mier's prophecies than to suspect them of
honesty now"
The man is right in supposing that if the
political abolitonists are honest, instead of
abusing CLAY, they would struggle for the
principles of Liberty chfeld Enquirer.

my fellow citizens, and late constituents the
grounds of my acquiescence in this moment-
Gus measure.
The "grounds" on which Mr.. Wilkins ba-
ses bis acquiescence in the measure are, that
Texas, being independent, has night to ne
cociaie-that Mexico has no valid claim TO
the Territory-that the proposed annexation
would strengthen the Uuion-that slavery
would be confined to the Gulf shore, and be
voluntarily abolished in Maryland, Virginia,
&c.-that it would greatly extend the trade
and commerce of the United States, and final,
" that if De refuse to take Texas, England
will carry off the prize. The Secretary closes
bis appeal in this wise:-
Now, my fellow citizens, having given you
my views upon the subject, let me recall YOU
attention, without which we should not at thl.
moment be the united and happy people
which constitute this great nation. Yet tina
noble purchase was not without opposition
of decided, and, indeed, most violent char
acter; however, no patriot Of that day live'

You must place no reliance whatever on
the statements that you hear about Mexico

INCONSISTENCY AND FALsEHooD
MlDDLEBURY.

INCONSISTENCY AND FALSEHOOn
John Quincy Adams, Giddings, Slade. aDj
at length Cassius NJ. Clay, are constantly and
triumphantly quoted by 81 party men to max.
weight for abolitionism. John Quincy Adams
in speech recently, very justly declared that
slavery and slave representation was the roo,
Of all evil. But when the one idea abolition.
istsquote the expressions OF adherence from
such men against the abominabe institution
in which we all agree with them, why do thev
omit to mention their unequivOcal Condemn
ton Of third partyism itself. Sure their an
thority is as strong in the one case as in the
other. No third party men entertain moro
ardent and patriotic purpose TO abolish slave.
ry than these distinguished wings, and the
party with which they act. One OF the lea
ding principles of the wing party Is to exer-
else controlling influence over slavery, a,
far as it can be constitutionally done. The
public faith cannot be shaken by the empty
cry of hypocrisy shouted by the third party
press, in the sincerity of the wings on this
subject. Facts are stubborn things. And
yet third party men are constantly branding
the whole wing party 'as leagued,rih siare-
holders. and tie humble tools Of Gie Stare porr-
err" SANDER and misrepresentation can 60
no farther. Their is not an enlightened
whig in the Union who does not know such
assertions TO be as false as the Alcoran.-
Foryea the wings have stood like mighty
bulwark against the encroachmcnts of south
ern influence. For years have they endeav-
ored TO compress the dominion of slavery IN
to the narrOwest possible limits consistent
with the guarantees of the constitution. And
at this very moment the wing party stands
solitary and alone, like a tall elf ready 10
beat back the mighty tide of slaveOcratc in
fiuence. which by the annexation Of Texas,
would forever fasten the hateful institution
upon the country. And yet these pretending
purists of the one idea, are necessarily Ca
Illuminating the wing party as (dihiess. corrupt
and unp7neipied, and approPriaiing to them
selves all the religion, morality and patriot
ism in the nation. If the leaders OF the third
party can hunt down slavery by such Jesus
teal course, by dashing the fouest abuse a
gainst their natural allies, and placing them
even below those who have ever proved the
natural foes OF abolition,it would be strange
dispensation of the overruIing providence Of
the Almighty.

MISSOURI COMING!

CHEERING VIcToRY IN ST.-LoUIs. The
ST Louis charter election came off on the
LIST inst, and after close and animated
contest, resulted in noble and most glo-
rious triumph of the Wings. Pratte, the
wing candidate fer Mayor, was elected
over his Locofoco opponent, by a MINORITY
of three hundred and siriy tieoi The ma
ioriiy against the wings last year,was one
hundred and fourteen, making gain with-
in the last twenty months Of four huddred
and serenty sir y Every regularly nomin>
ated Wing councilman, except three were
also elecled. which places the city gov.
eminent IN the hands of the wings for the
coming year. This is indeed an impor-
ian: victory, and furnishes reason of hope
that Missouri may yet be detached from
the caro- of the great Humbugger, and take
her stand among the Wing States con-
federacy. Such is the magnitude Of the
triumph, that the President Of the Clay
Club ofSt Louis has addressed q cir
cular of congratulation 10 the Wings of
the State, which We hope soon to be able
TO lay before our readers.

THE PRESENT TARIFF SUPPORT
ED BY MIR. CLAY.

The perfect storm OF falsehoods and mis-
representations with which locofocoism TINS
early has been showering the nation to defeat
Mr.. Clay, shows that no means however
base, no acts however INSCRIPTIONS will be
omitted to accomplish their object, The
malignant heel Of the party is ever to be lifted
TO tread out his character and crush his rising
fortunes. Say what he will. or do what he
will, he is to be belied and blackened to be
arraigned as criminal, and sentenced with
out trial. For years the loco leaders have
been DINING the public ear with empty lau-
dations Of moderate tariff, judicioas tariff, a
tariff necessary to raise revenue foran hon
est. economical administration of the gov
eminent. But the moment Mr.. Clay assumes
the same ground, with the Indispensable addi-
ton of discrimination to protect domestic
industry, they accuse him of deserving all
protection. and place him upon the sams
slippery ground in relation to theTariff which
they have themselves so long occupied.
The truth is, Mr.. Clay was never an adTo-
cate of high, unreasonable. or prohibiiOry
tariff, nor has such a tariff been sought by
the party with which he has acted, As ap-
pears from all his speeches from 1872, uPto
the present moment, he has been the advo-
cate of tariff which, in raising revenue
would so far discriminate il favor of domestic
industry, as to give it fair chance against
foreign competition, secure the independence
of the country, and furnish to the agricultural
producer home market in addition to the
foreign. What the kind and degree Of pro-
lection he would yield to the nation, he has
not left to be guessed at, and imagined,

The neighboring Kings. in conven-

raise the price of rice and other native
