The New Party

The recent charter election of Pontiac turnecl on the Home Industry question, and the Home Lraguers carried the day. The Detroit Daily Ad vertiser says this is but the beginning, and prediets that Oakland will soon follovv. Pontiac is spoken of as striking the first blow in the Home League contest We mention this fact. that our reader may see distinctly that the oíd ostensible objects of the Whig party, a National Bank, Land Diitribution, &c, are droppcd, anda nvr issuelias been piesenied in ilieir alead - ihe augmeniation of the TariflT. This s an object eniiiely dif. ferent from ihoseof 1840, and by ndopting it. the Whigs becomo, for all practica! purposes, a new party. We cannot but believe that the grcat nunibers of intelligent nd excellent citiens, who have hithcrto sincerely supportcd ihe Whig party on account of t'tc objccls it 'c'd out to riew. wül refíect carcluilv, now that t lióse objecís are thiown nsdc; beíoie they nllow themselves to be coinmitted to the support of another organiz ition. for a very different object. That object, in itselí'. ín our opinión, is i"ar less important than the question ol a Naiional Bank, and its Kindred projec.s of 18,40 - amounting to nething iiiore. in Ciot. than a dít?nnin:i!ion to incre.ise tlie duties on imporfed rucies. Intelligent and indopemleut men sliould examine the principies of a pnrty wel! be'Ve they commit themselves to its support, nnd not suffer thcirselves to be hnnded over.ns láwful prop'Tty. trom one party to nnother. in the s-ime manner that they somet-nes perniiuheir ñames to be nnns. ferred in the subsciiption bjoks i.f soi'e biokcn down newspaper, to one siill existing. of a diíl'er. ent name, and perchanee ol" a wiiiely different chanicter. In 1840, great numberp fnvorably dïspoaéd to Liberty principies, supponed the Whig party, from ail honest conviclion of the necessity of a change in the curreney. They conecived ihnt a Nntionnl Bank was absolutely necessary to tne redemption of the country. This reasrm. which was then sitisfactory to them. must n.w cease to opérate. The object for which tbey then n;ted is now given up, and unless they are prepnred to renounce their fonr.er antislavery princpiples, they must support the objecss of the liberty party. Onr objeu in commencing these remarles, was merely to notify our readers that the Home Leaguers. os a political party, ljave now taken ihe field, and they are to bc met, at the ballot box and elsewhere, as the determined foes of the measures we advocate. In this case, from the very nature of things, a pnliiical party that is not for us, must be against us.The American A S. Society, old prganizntinn, holds its nnnual meeting in New York. Mny 11 The New York Watchrnan hos the following notice of the meeting: Run Mad. - The Boston Librrator, nlluding to the Usual tnñual nbolition conven tion that meets in New York nu the llth of nexf momh, distinetly avovvs that iis purpose now is, to adopt the mensure of a Pepcal of the Uuion f]f the Stutzs, and that this project will occupy the deliberationo at the next anniveisary. The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer has an extract froni the Liberator, avowing this as a special topic of discussion, and proceeds very gravely to no'ify the Mayor and the Pólice officers that such a meeting is not lairful - that "its avowed object is treasonable, revolutionary, and dangcrous. Tí held, it will rouse a feeling in the public mind, such as never yet has been witnessed, and no man can possibly foresee the consequences." The Mayor is called upon 'no apprizethe fanatics who have it in contenipiation to throw this firebrand into our community," that such a meeting will ':disiurb the city, and inevitably lead to the most calnmitous consequences." The whole object of the Courier evidcntly is, to rouse up the ferocious spirit of the New York mob, and thus bre;k up the meeting. The Editor of the Courier must have a poor knowledge of human nature if he thinks that fanaticism and errorsofjudgment can be overeóme by brick bats, or that the mobbing of any assembly of peacable ciüzens vill strengthen their attachment to the Union.
