JAMES G. BIRNEY.
ANOTHER FEDERAL TRICK EXPosEDMn
Roorback in Michigan!

Just on the eve of the State elections in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, the GINNING, but infamous fed
eral coons, got up the story a la Roorback, that
the Democrats of Saginaw county, Michigan,
had nominated James G.. Birney, the Liberty
candidate for President as a candidate for the
Michigan Legislature. This story was ~circula-
ted on the wings ofthe wind, by the federal par
ty, TO make the Abolitionists believe that a Goa
lition had been formed between the Democrats
and the AbolitIonists, and in consequence there.
of to induce the Abolitionists 10 support Mr..
Barley in Ohio, and General Markle in Penn
sylvia. And no doubt but it had IFS effect.
Ut But it now appears that the nomination of
Mr.. Birney was brought about by the federal
wings, who thrust themselves into the Demo
cratic primary meetings, SO as to manufacture po-
litical capital thereby. The Detroit Free Press
contains a long publication by the Democratic
Corresponding Committee of Saginaw county,
which fully exposes this "good enough Morgan
till after the election" for which we regret we
cannot find room. In publishing the erposc of
the corresponding committee, the Free Press
adds:
ain addition to the above, we are informed
that there was a so called democratic" conven-
ton held at Saginaw-that whigs for the mis-
chieuous purposes ochich are now unueiIed, intru-
ded Themselves into the primary town meetings
which appointed delegates and wcnt for those
Dho voutd go for Birney, under preteace that he
would benefit the county in some local interest,
and that they thus secured him a quasi nomina-
ton by a majority Of one vote. We learn also
that the Democrats uho pere put in nomination
for county officers by this mongrel convention i'm
mediately declined upon Discovering the trick of
the whigs, and because they wouId not run on
the same ticket wih Birney, urho is considered
the worst enemy Of the Democratic party in thai
county.
awe honor the Democrats ~ofSaginaw for spur
ming such an association; for the Democratic
party can have nothing 10 do with abolitionism,
its candidates or its champion. The abolition
ISIS are natural allies of the wings; they acted
with them in 1910, and voted for John Tyler, a
Virginia Shareholder, for Vice Preiident; and we
have no doubt they will just az readily and cor.
daily support Henry Clay, a Kentucky slave.

"To corroborate our information from Sagi

for a Democrat to ask! The coons can concoc

consciences.
