The next Presidcnt-Cause Of opposition
to the Liberty Party.

We give our readers the following extracts which
explain the fact of the Wings desperate opposition to
the Liberty party.
The first is from letter written by distinguished
gentleman in Philadelphia
Z" have no doubt you have noticed the great efforts
made by the Wings especially in the East, to break
down the Liberty party under the odium of annexa-
ton Let me say you these efforts are made in ref
ercnce to the next Presidential election If they sue
coed, Henry Clay tON be the merit Wig candidate if
not, some other person will be selected. Mark what
say | speak the sentiments of some Of our leading
Wings"
The next extract is from the editor of the N. Y
Herald, in an editorial correspondence from Washing
ton. After stating the position of the Democratic
party in relation to Mr. Folks being the candidate fo
the next Presidency, he remarks
"Such beng the opinion entertained by a number
of the friends of Mr. Polk in Congress, similar state
of things is forming in the opposition ranks IN refer
ence to Henry Clay, who is still considered candid
ate for the next Presidency if Mr.. Polk should be
held up in the same capacity. These movements il
reference to Mr. Polk, on the side, and Mr.. Clay
the other, will not depend on the result of Conven
tons-nor will the idea that the days of Conventions
have passed away, be weakened in any respect by this
cause There is certainly a st ong disposition among
certain portion of the Wings here particularly the
Western Whigs-to give Mr.. Clay another trial."
Here, in few words, is solution of the important
problem which has troubled so many to solve viz the
deep rooted prejudice, bitter persecution and hitherto
unknown opposition Of the Wings to the Liberty party

the southern States, is continued in the same way
When Mr. Holmes resolutions were introduced con-
demnng the aboitionlsts, in the most unmeasured
terms, only 10 wings voted against them, and among
these there was not one from Vermont. Where, we
ask are the anti slavery acts of the party? What has
done for the slave in its State or national capacity?
fvotng for Shareholders apoogzing for slavery, com
hitting orgeries, and laboring necessarily to destroy
the faithful friends of Freedomif any, all of these
reasons constitute anti slavery party, then may the
wings lay claim to that appelation. We believe there
are many honest men who are now in the party, and
have some sympathy for the slave; but the organization
of the party is such that from necessity it must labor
to please the SOUTH and long it is made up, in
part of Shareholders their interests must be subserved
and slavery be perpetuated. To pursue any other
course would annihilate the party. We find fault
with them not because they vote for Shareholders but
because they hold up false standard, and profess to
be that which, from their position, is utterly impossi-
Bile for them to be- They palm off upon the people a
spurious coin which thousands have taken to be the
real one. In this way, mulhtudes have been sadly
duped and made to become the unintentiona support
ors of slavery Iii for this reason that its influence
is more dangerous than the opposite party and needs
to have its true character more fully exposed
The democrats, on the one hand are so bold il
their support of slavery, and so glaringy Inconsistent
in carrying out their principles that no, one in his
right mind, need be deceived. The coin is SO very
bad that it can be to be spurious with but half
eye. On the other hand; the wings have made so ma
ny professions and promlses--have done so much t
misrepresent their real position, and have long de
ceved the people with words for actions that it is ne
cessary to show up their hypocrisy nprolessing to
anti slavery, while they are giving their whole nfu
, ence to the building up of slavery.

other motive for effort to overthrow system, the
influence of which follows the servant of God, a

ThingS in KentuckY.

The True American holds on its way in Kentucky
The editor says he continues to receive cheering &C
counts from the friends of Liberty in that State. A
cry is coming up from all quarters for books and
pamphlets on the subject of slavery. citizen from
one Of the interior counties calls for the republication
of Judge Underwood's Address, delivered some wears
ago before the Colonization Society correspond
ent IN Lewis CO., writes that the inquiry in that county,
and adjacent ones about emancipation, is "going on
splritedy."
Another writes to the editors as follows
81 want a Sermon, delivered by John Wesley, en-
titled "Thoughts upon slavery" [ have two copies
which keep going; but want hundred of them |

brethren. Can they be had in cheap form?"
Again, says Mr. Clay, we are told by friend living
in of the river counties, but some distance back:
Many Of the Methodist brethren in this and the
adjacent counties, will not 60 with the church SOUTH
This decision is becoming more general now than at
any former period"
And yet again, after specifying certain works that
the writer wants, we are written to as follows:
SIN reference to the above tracts | am anxious A
vail has been thrown over the minds of the people by
custom and false teaching. We want that vail torn
away by TRUTH that the people may look upon slavery
as it is-see its horrid detormty and deadly nature.
There is yet virtue enough in Kentucky to save it. if
this virtue can be called out"
Another correspondent writes to the same paper:
at is necessary, not only to show that slavery IS
wrong, but they Immediately ask, what will we do with
our slaves. We wish to show that emancipation here
is safe Facts proving this point are much needed in
Kentucky; perhaps more them any other"
The True American is encouraged by the friencs of
freedom not only in Kentucky, but in other slave
States. A gentleman of Rockport, Mo. writes Febru-
airy "a:
C. NJ Clay Esq:--Dear Sir,-We cannot refrain
expressing to you our sincere gratitude for the noble
stand you have taken in noble cause the fortitude
with which you have sustained your trials and the in
flexible determination you manifest to act consistent
part"
The editor of the True American mentioning the
recent murder of j. w. Warning, says that he believes
it is the twelfth homicide in this and adjoining coun-
ties, in twelve months. In Justice to Mr. Clay we
cheerfully copy the following paragraph;
"a .Hstake-Some of our friends misunderstood
our Albany letter. or that part of it where we say
This is no longer question about Africans whether.
