ment of the Liberty Party. Practically, they are Civ
en- to the most despteful course toward us in view of
the nomination of John P Hale for the Presidency by
the Buffalo Convention. It would seem at times that
the English vocabulary is too limited to admit Of words
Of sufficient scurrlity, through which they may vent
their scandal. Even GERRIT SMITH, their own nomi-
nee for the same Office with Mr.. Hale, the man who
has written, said and done so much formerly for the
establishment Of the Liberty party, and who has adj
duced more argument perhaps, in its favor than any
other man, now brings all his power of thought and ell
oquence of speech to the work Of destroying the beau
tifu edifce, which few years since, he was most la
borious to build up
Although he has taken formal leave of the Liberty
party, he yet assumes supevisorship Of 1t, and in
doing It, descends almost to fanatica inconsistencies
In recent letter addressed to the Liberty party Of
New Hampshire, we sorry to say, he is both rigid
and abusive. We can only see in the letter contin-
ued train of arrogance and assumption, which three
years ago would lily have become the author. This
nvectve is dealt out to the good and true friends of
the Granite State-for what? Simply to reprmand
them for the breach of faith" to the party at large
by casting their 8q6iages at vario,ts times, for Mr.
Hale In the course of the letter Mr.. Smith makes
use of the following language;
"Aas that such party should, so soon, have come
to such pass Of degeneaCy, to turn It's Back upon
its own whole hearted and ouspoken REPRESENTATIVES
Of its righteous anfgeharacterisc princplto choose
for its champion and mouth-p piece one who disdains
membership in it, and has sympathy In its doctrines;
and to choose himto for the very reason that being
destitute of such sympathy, and being man Of neu-
rates, negotiations and apologies, in the ant-slave-
ry cause he may getthe votes of thousands who will
not give their votes to positive and known aboli-
tonist"
The above is fair specimen of a letter of three
columns length all OF which is a result of that painful
position to which the FESTIVE, eager mind may ant
will come, when left to itself
Every effort which these men can control is used tc
destroy the confidence of the people in Mr.. Hale
Let him conduct never so nobly and manly, low con
suctons put upon lis language and hasty resort,
made to that garbhng which has ever characteriz
ed the efforts of the low-minded politician. Though
he has sought his every opportunity and given utter
Gnce to sentiments on the floor of the American Sen
ate, which hitherto have been suppressed there, and in
the face of the many very happy and successful efforts

ready to attribute what he performs to view, hi;
part, of self emoument, and yet blame him that he
does not do more But these objections to the course
Of the worthy Hale, and his nomination, whether they
are offered by tie "inteigent patriotic whig party,
OF by the clique Of unsatsod spirits in n w. are des
tined to sink into forgcfulness while his acts stant
ont in living remembrance with every honest man, ant
especially with the numerous friends of consistent &C
ton, the country over The foolish and groundes
objections Of the defeated and enyious are destined
a short duration, for phantasms, apparons and hum
bugs ca~ never exist to the extinction of the living
acting, abiding principles which Mr.. Hale exhibits.
