The Guilty and the Innocent.

The Boston LibGGtor, edited by w. l.. Garrison,
(and the oldest antl-Siavery paper III the country
is the exponent Of the views u that portion OF the
Abolitionisls who repudlate the so-called Liberty
Party as corrupt and dishonest faction. In the
last number of this journal MIR Garrison gives his
views of the relative position and conduct OF the
Loco.Foco and Wing parties on the Texas ques-
ton, in the following emphatic and unequiyocal
terms:
"In the name of Democracy has this frghul outrage
been pcrpctrated The Democratic party, as such has
sold ITSELF body and soul, 10 the Demon OF Slavery and
With cnnnba appetite is attouing human flesh and
blood All its professions of regard for The rights Of

done noble work, and ,tood their scound with rmness

No description of the parties responsible for the
Annexation OF Texas Is complete, which does not

since the elections thus contessns the truth OF the
very charge which We brought against them during
the campaign, and for which we and Others We're
denounced liars and sanderers by the presses OF
