These will be found oh the first page, as reponed in the State Journal. We shall sec how much credit he will gain omong the candid men of all parties by such ilhberal and persona! invectives. The Detroit Free Prese has the following1 respecting hiscourse. "Honest Jakb."- We fear that Mr. McClelland, has been chafing the whigcandidnle for Congress a little too hard. At Ann Arbor "Honest Jake" was as mnd and as furious as a wild boar who had been wounded and chafed by au experienced hunter. It eeeme ihat the editor of the S-nal Liberty, an abolition paper, who, whatever may be thought ofhis opinions, conducts his paper, as a genero 1 rule, with great candor and fairoes-s had fixercised an editors privilege of uttering his independent opinions of Mr. Howard's course in Congress. Wjien Mr, Howard rose to speak at Ann Arbor, he saw the editor of that paper present, nnd fie embraced the occasion to assail him in his usual gentlemanly manner. His remarks are reported, no doubt by himself, in the Journal, the organ at Ann Arbor, cmd we culi from them the following extracts: (Here followc extracts from Mi . Howard's remarks.) Such ia the amiable spirit and gentlcmanly language of the'whig cnndidafe for Congress towards the editor of theabolition organ. who was one ofhis auditors and was not permitted 10 reply. Mr. Howard's speech is a very poor imitation of Mr. Clay's attack on Mr. Mendenhall, though Mr. H. no doubt thinks he beat the orator of Ashland, and he doea indeed in calling hard names.
