0C-T notorious j. G.. Birney seems pretty
much to have abandoned the political abolition
ranks and gone to his old friends the ocofocos. We
heIieve, he still processes to think pretty well of
the faction he has been leading for the past few
years. The last we heard of this specimen Ofthrd
partyism he was publishing letters in the Albany
drgus, ocOtoco paper in which his hypocrisy
Is made manifest TO the most casual observer. We
have no doubt but that Brney is one ofthe viest,
most rotten and unprincped locOfoco demagogues
that took part in the late Presidential campaign
against HENRY CLAY. We do not suppose that
at heart, the fellow cares more about the "Aberty
party" so called, than skunk does about stenches
and the honest portion ofthe party, are gratied
to perceive, have about arrived al the same concu-
sion, and are fast getting back into the Wing ranks,
and taking their places along side of their former
political lrlends.-W oodstock Mercury
The above choice specimen of Wing decency we
find occupying prominent place in the editorial
columns OF the last Caledonian. We had hoped
that the signal defeat the Wings lately experienced,
would have been regarded as retributive justice
for their abominabe forgeries aud lies and taught
them that honesty was the best policy But the
hearty relish with which portion of that party
persist in their fendsh course, shows concIusively
the vileness and pollution of their native element
and that to ever look for anything decent from
them, is to hope against the clearest evidence.
This article from the Mercury, endorsed by the
CaIedonian containes more malicious lies than can
often be found in the same space
l. Mr. Birney does not "seem to have abandoned
the political abolition ranks" and this was known
to be false when it was indicted and endorsed
Me- b.,
Co.'S" this also was known to be false,
s, Mr. Brney never was "locofoco." He was
always Wing unit he became Liberty man,
all Of which was or might have been known, when
this lie was forged
A. tits true, Mr. Birney published one letter in
the Albany Argus-but the letter was in reply tc
certain lies which the Albany Evening Journal
! (Whig,) had published against him, and was offer
cd to the Journal; but they refused to publish it,
and so it was offered to the Argus a last resort,
to the editors of the Mercury and Caledonan, and
their deception on this point is the meanest lie of
the whole.
5. There is no ''hypocrisy made manifest" il

6. "We have no doubt that Mr.. B. is one Of thu
most reckless and unprincipled ocofocoos," SC
That's lie! Both Of you not only have doubt
about it, but neither of you believe it.
7. 1--WE do not suppose that the fellow at hear
cares any more about the liberty party than a
skunk does about stenches" Hold here you have
us We were about to say that was false; but wher
you come to estimate "SkunkS and stencheS," We
yield the point to both of you, for every man i:
bound to "know his own business best"
8. "The honest portion of the party are com
ming to the same conclusion" That's false, too
point to the least evidence that the Lbertypa i.
losing confidence in james G. Birney, or own
yourselves liars, and pray to be forgiven.
8. care fast getting back into the Wing ranks.
This also is false-false. Point to an instance!
We owe an apology for occupying so mucI
space in speaking of these miserable lies; and hal
we noticed how many and how fragrant they were
and what PLAIN language we must necessarily u.s.
to do themjustce, we would not have undertakes
