Two Sides
A vvrüer in tho Jackson Sime Gazette tries lo poreimde the Liberty mentó dop tlieir candidato, ond select from the other two candidatos the man nearesi t.lieir viewe, and give liim their votas. He snys,"by so doing Congtcss may be lilled with abolitionistÃ; northem rih!s secnrod; slavery abolislied. and we become a f roe ppople." Ver.fine, Ãs'nt il? - The sqme wuter has the impudence to aek, "In what ewential principio does Mr. Williams differ wilh the ihird party orgnnizalion?1' I Ths 6ame p per has the following coaxlug miragnipli in referonce to Mr. Wilüams' electioneenug addressps: "Especinlly wnnld we inviie ihe fiiends of Uie Liberty party to be prpspnt. ond henr what ha lias to say npon the sreat principies for which they are'contondinfr. Tljnngti a VVhig Candidntc, he is thefricnd uj frrc labor, and the encmy of opprrssion in cvery form, and will do all in his power to ac:omplsh the greal mdjor ivhich allhoncst abolitiojiists are strivhtg." VVJiat a pity it is the Whigs dkl not acqnaint lis with tlie Slavery character oÃ" their candidato! Il mipht have savcd us the tronble i f making a nominatinn of own own. Now lpok on the other eide and see whnt the said Mr. Williams will do for Liberty men. The Detroit Advertiser of Ãct. 16th sa's: "If Jacob M. Hotcard. Joseph R. Williams and Thomas J. Drake, or anv tico of them, shall bc elrct'd this f all. then Henrv CÃay wll have the vote of Michigan; bul if Rnbert McClelland, Ijvcius I, yon and James B. Htmt,or any two of them shall h. chosen, then Martn Van Uuren will get ?7.'" Exactly so; if Mr. Williams is elected, he will eivethe vote of the State for Henrj Clny fer the Presidency for four years. Well, will that be an anlislavery administration? What think yon. dear reader? If you have any doubt, read the followin? extract from a j conversación of Mr. Clay with Mr. Wise, as given in the Madisonian of April 17, 1843, from the Richmonrl Enquirer. fn the conversation Mr. Wise says to Mr. Clay, "But on the pttbjeet of Abohtion of slavery in the District, Mr Clay yon admit tli powj er of Conprress 10 act npon thn subject, Uon i the princij.le of exclusive legisla! ion'." "My dear sir," rojoined Mr. Clay, "while these are my opinions. ronscientiously formed, I am the son of VirgÃHa, a slaveh'dder of KtntucJcy. ITTANDI WOULD SUFFER THETOR TURES OFTHE INQUISITÃON, bkfore I WOULD SIGN A BÃLL HAVÃNG FOR ITS OBJECT THR ABOLIT1ON OF SLAVF.RY ÃN THR DÃSTR C T, OORIN ANY MANNERGIVECOUN TENA.NCE TO THE SUBJECT. "L0 Thus every Liberty man who votes for Williams votes for Clay and eterna! slavery. Yet the Whig writer asks with all thecomplacency in t'e world, "In what essentia.! principie does Mr. William3 differ with the Liberty party?'
