The 1,bsr,v partv-Ths Express.

Election by palpably false pretences On the con-
trary we think they the dupes of gross misrep
resentaton of the position of Mr.. Clay and the Wings
respecting Texas by Ar. Birney the Editor of the
Emancipator and other master-spirits Those lead
ers we think, were guilty Of gross injustice and
misstatement-nay. we think they stand convicted
thereof by wha, they now say respecting Texas in
order to induce their party to take step farther in
the same road and let the Blacks go to the wall in
their Right of Suffrage. So much we did say, and
now repeat.
"Wby court such swindling party 7" &c. &c.
asks the Express. Our explanation has dulled the
point of this query. The men who misled the Lib
erty party in 1914 are on the same tack now, but
with slender success. They have not Mr.. Clay and
his slaveholding to decaim against. The Blacks
(see manifesto in paper praying their true
friends to spare them from such sympathy and aid
as Birney, Gerrit Smith. Joshua Leavitt and j. C.
Jackson insist on. We therefore anxious that those
who were once misled to the Countrys serious peril
and calamity, shall not be 80 again, seek to drawthe
line between the deceived and the deceivers Our
hostility to Slavery is older than the Liberty or any
other Anti-Slavery organization, and we bat speak
in regard to our Nations plague and shame Us we
would if there were no Liberty party We cannot
sAe the dictates of Truth and Justice because they
are used to subserve the ends of Error and Wrong
Right is Right, though the Evil One were TO as
sert il.
Let us be fully understood. We accuse no
Liberty men Of in justice to the Wings in refusing
to vote for Mr. Clay, g STAKEHOLDER. We think they
took q narrow and prejudiced view of their respon-
sbilities in the Presidential Election. We deeply
deplore the consequences Of that error But we
recognise their perfect right TO differ from us as
thoroughly as we differ from them But we do feel
that the assumption and constant iteration OF Brney
& Co. that Clay was as much an Annexationist as
Polk and more likely than Polk to accomplish An
nexalion, were not merely wrong but uttered with
at least lurking consciousness OF their Inconsistent
cy with the relative positions and declarations OF
the two Great Parties-that these Brney assertions
were in effect false pretences, put forth to draw OIL
votes which, if the whole truth had been known to
the voters would have been given to Clay. This
conviction we have never concealed, and shall not
now though lin spite of the Cour7ers sneer we
woud prefer not TO be engaged in controversy with
anv professed friends of Universal Suffrage at this
time Liberty and Democracy are excellent
things, and though we know the acords are often
must be careful that indignation at the abuse Of
the names never impels US into opposition TO the
things they truly stand for
