HE EMANCIPATOR, Joshua Leavltt, editor, the
organ of the proiesSed "Libery" party in Mas
sachusetts, says:
"The session of Congress has closed, and the
Wing members have scattered and gone home,
and nothing has been done to concentrate public
opinion against slavery on the dominion of slave
holders. On the contrary, the rery last act of the
drama lcaS the defeat, By northern TVhigS, Of a
bill prohibiting Slarery in dny Territory rhich
mag be acquired from MericO. And every thing
shows that the Wings party never was more ab-
solutely under the dominion of shareholders than
it is this moment"
We will thank every one who considers the
writer of the sentence we have placed in italics
an honest man TO write us down william; for if
such a statement is consistent with honesty, we
loathe thatquality. Whatare the facts! Every
Whig Representative from the free States present
voted IN FAVOR of the proviso lorbidding slavery
in all territory to be hereafter acquired by treaty
with Mexico. Very many Wings voted for the
80 100000 grant because of this proviso who
would otherwise have voted against. The bill
was passed by such votes. Coming to the Sen
ate at the eleventh hour, Mr.. D. II. Lewis, of
Alabama, moved the STRIKING OUT of the Anti
Slavery proviso. Mr.. Davis, of Massachusetts,
rose to speak AGAINST this striking out, and DID
speak most forcibly, for very few minutes. lie
intended to close in season to have the question
taken, or the session prolonged if necessary, but
the House adjourned before he had concluded,
and before the hour of adjournment had arrived
by the Senate clock, that of the House being fun
known 20 him) several minutes faster. Yet this
earnest and anxious effort of Mr. Davis to pre-
serve the House proviso against the extension of
slavery, is termed by the Emancipator "THE DE-
FEAT BY NORTHERN WINGS" of that propostion!
Can knavery and shameless fraud exceed that of
the Emancip pator!-New York Tribune.
The CLEVELAND PLAINDEALER, in view of the
utter hopelessness of olecting a Locoloco TO Con-
gress from that District, (Gidding's) suggests the
nomination of ''somc whole-souled liberal Dem
ocrat," and adds
eff there are not liberal mon enough in the
district TO elect him, LET HIM GO TO CONGRESS AS
THOUGH lie WAS ELECTED and let him be seated in
the lobby of the House and note the proceedings
of things. Let him make speeches, when the
House is not in session, and vote in all the cau-
cuses of the party as QUASI member from the
Goth Congressional District. Let him write let
lers, (hs constituents paying the postage,) inior-
ming us about matters and things in general; and
let him be constituted committee of vigilance
TO look after our political affairs. The certif-
Gates Of FIVE THOUSAND GOOD DEMOCRATS WHO
NEVER HAD "A CONGRESSIONAL Representative,
should entite him to all these privileges, and the
man who will discharge these duties faithfully
shall bepaid outof the pockets of the hard-fsted."
Good! we nominate J. w. Gray, editor of the
Plaindealer, for lobby member aforesaid and col
lector of hiso pay. Thofrst office will notbe
hard to fill, but the duties of the second would be
apt to be rather arduous-N. y. Tribune.
