J) tnend writesus thnt the Liberty men in this section of the country ore olive &c active, artd will give a larger vote iban they did last fH. The Whigs of Km lamazoo have noms nated Dr. Upijohn tbr Representativo. He is represented to be right on the maltvrof slavery- all but the polilicnl pnrt ! He was donóles nominated for the purpo.e of catching antislnvc-y votes; for the Whigs lost this üöunty two years since by a few votes, in consequence of the Liberty nominatioiiF, and havo not yct recovered the ascendency. We trust, however, that no abolitionisis will be cnughtin such a shallovv trap, for three reasons: 1 . If Dr. Upijohn sbould be elected as a Whig, he wonld never he good for any thing asan anti-slavery man: becanse no man can serve two mnsters, and Whigi&m and Henry Clay would swallow up all his abolition. All former experience shows thi.s to be the uniform result. Look at Giddings, whom we doubt not to be a real antislavery man, now etumping it for Henry Ciay! 2. Carry out the principie of voting for the "most favorable1' proslavery candidatee, and Ihé Liberty parly wnuld be at on end. We sbould at once come back on to the questioning system of 1 837. Shall we go back, or go forward? 3. it involves the grossest inconsistency for antislnvery men to support a decided advocateof a proslavery party. "Do men gather grapes of (homs, or figs of thisiles?1' Lastly, before any aniislavery votes are thrown away on such a candidate, it might be woll enough to enquire wh ether it is certain he can be elected.(tT5 we have before referred to Mr. Clay's share in the murder of Cilley. In a speech to his constituents last spring. Mr. Wiae spoke of the r.efarinus transaction as folio ws: "He srid it was n fair duel - but that if censure and odium attached fo any one, it should be to Henry Clay; for, he was the counsellor and adviser, Rnd dictated the terms of the duel - thnt he (Mr. W.) protested agniust the rifles, and the langunge of the challpnjrp,wluch cloed the door to an aójusliftént or' the difficulty, but reas overrvlt-d by Mr. Cm- that he expresspd aniinwllinr ess to be thebearer of a challenge so uncompromising in its charncter, but at length yíelded to an appeal from Mr. Graves, uho remindod hiin that he hod been his friend on a s'milar occasion. The develonement of these ftcts wero made by him, because, when his charac'er wa? assailed unjustly, as Mr. Clay knew, Mr. Wise nppenled to him to do hitw jnsiiee, and nut this nntfer right before the nation, Mr. Clay avoided all opporlunUy to d so, and no alternative was ltlt Mr. Wise bul to suffer the odium, or else give the facts to the public."Qjr3 The Liberty party in Bangor, Maine, rmkes the prosJavery pnrties a world of trouble. They usuaüy have to try about half a ( . A7iTl t FY10O liO (rrt t ilOV fln OlAAf nnji rm#l ■ Thpre was no choice of Representatives at tho late elcction. They have tried several times since; and at the latest dates the vote stood for the Liberty candidates 272 and 273. for the Whig, 418 and.372,for the Democratie, 162 and 165, scattering 29. Tnus it is seen the Democratie vote is considerably below thnt of the Liberty party. OThe Boston Daily Advprtiser ays that severa! Congrrssionnl Districts will probaMy rpmain nnrepresented in the next Congress. in consequence of the refusal of AboliMonists to for Whig and Democratie candidates. In Maine, in four Disiricts out of seven5 there is supposed to be no clioice, and three Districts in Massachusetts, after the lapse of nearly a year, remain nnrepresented, notwithstanding repeated, expensive, and vexatious trials. Well, all this is verv bad to be snre; but what do you intend to do about it, Mr. Advertiser? There are some anti slnvery men who pray to Almighty God for t'.ie liberal ion of the slave, who yet intend to vote for pro-slavery Congressional condidales. VVith what consistency can they do this when they Jcnoio full well that the election of tliose candidates wil] eatablish the reign of the Slavk Power four years Jonger? Are not euch grossly inconsistent? flCJr Tlie papero üfate that the proposed amendnient to our Constitution, Hrbiting the time of election to one day, wjll be dectfed by the votes of the penple one year from the ensuing elcction,if sanctioned by the next Leg islature. We approvethe amendmont on the srore of moráis, and the saving oL time and expense. We tbink i vill beadopted. OMr. Edwin W. Shaw, of Jackeon, is to be our a?ent for Jnckson Coimty. Also, Mr. Büant Bartlctt, of Union City, will act asngent for the Sipnal for the counUes of Branch,Hillsdale, St. Joseph,and Cass. ftj The Senate of the United States now stands, Whigs, 26- Democrats, 23 - vacancies, S- Total, 52. O3 Vork County, in Maine, gave 585 Liberty votes. Mr. Giddings is re elected to Congress again. (L5 It is a fact wfiich deserves to be noted, that the first protective duty ever imposeo by onr governmont was in favor of raw cotton, for the especial benefit oi'Sou'h Carolina. The duty is three cents per pound, on an average, forty per cent, and it opera tcs to the prohibition of the foreign productions from olhcr porto. Repeal it, and the Cotton of Atneriea, and perhaps of InJia, vvould compete wfth home product iore of our own home
