LIBERTY PARTY AT UXBRIDGE.
The above named Party held a Conven.

which | had ite privilege Of attending, part
Of the latter day, and of which | purpose to
rive some notice. When / reached the place
of mcetiuT-the Calyinistic Church, found
it well filled, and some efficient speakers
present; the chief of whom was Rev. \athI.
Colver, of Boston, and Rev. Mr.. Loveioy of
Cam~bridgeport. There were also two or
three clctIymcn from neighboring towns,
who gave to them their cOuntenanCc and aid,

the Whigs-thcy We're TENET in their vicf
