Trnth will Ont,

Nothing could exceed the maignlty with winch wv
thern wings, for the last year two have followed 9
Liberty Party with the charge of being responsible lot
the election Of Polk the annexation of Texas WIN per
petual slavery and the consequent war with Mexico
And the crocodile tears and hypocritica groans winch
have been expended over their glowing fancy pictures
of eternal slavery beneath the wings OF the American
eagle, through the instrumentality of the "msnaneu
Liberty Party" have been enough to move the heart OF
every intelligent with-contempt for the sIardererS
But Notwithstanding those instrumental in manuiac-
turing and propagatng this base charge against the
friends of freedom, have known full well that the LIB
ery Party and that party aIOne is free of all respon
sibility in supporting or electing STAKEHOLDER to the
presidency at the last election and ofany and all con-
sequences thereunto attaching, still there are multi
tudes of honest men who are abused by this wicked
fasehood and thereby prevented from joining with the
Liberty Party in the only consistent efforts for the alb
clifton of slavery and all its denominations.
The Ncw York Tribune has been among the most
successful because the most respectable instrumental
tiles in preerring this charge against the Liberty Par
ty Its editor has far departed from his usual course
of honesty and fair dealing in endeavoring to tasten
this stain upon those whom he is pleased to style B-
ney-teS."
The manner in which the Liberty Party is accused
of having incurred guilt in this matter, it will be rec
objected is this they held the balance of power II
the State of New York, and, by keeping up separate
organization, gave the State to Mr. Polk, which secur
ed his electon-whereas, had they voted for Mr.. Clay
he would have carried the State, and been electe
President &c.
Now we are happy in being able to publish froI
the Tribune ITSELF full admission, not only that tn
Liberty Party were not the means of giving the stat
of New York to Polk but that it is directly charges
= bic upon LEADING WING papers and politicians
that State by joining in the Native American" cr'
SADIE The same opinion has been expressed by Hei
. {. nv CLAY himself, and the fact has been well known
all the intelligent wings of the nation still 1t has sui
ed their purpose to charge their folly to the accou
of the Liberty Party We hope to hear no more,
least from the Tribune, or any of its numerous echoe
concerning the Liberty Party having elected Polk,
= nexed Texas &c.
}, The following is from the Neto York Tribune
Aug 16, abiding to the New York Express, and Ne
York Courier and Enquirer, two leading Wing pape
=, !, in that State, and also in the nation:
cit is great pity that the Express and Courier hi
~ not imbbed their devotion to regular oli-fashon
II Whggery and their horror Of isms before they ran
d the track INTO NatviSm and by giving the City to lila
II per g. Co. threw the State and the Union against Il
.. Wings in 1874, defeating Henry Clay and securil
the triumph of Polk and Texas. That such was Il
I'd effect of their course, the Wings of all our Norhe
in frontier Counties can bear witness"
