flr" The extract frora the Libertor, edited by W. L. Garrison wil! nndoubtdly be interest ing to the Detroit Advertiser, nd other whig Joitrnals that have copied Garrison'8 denunciations of the Liberty party. The article is entitled "Political Fraud and Cnnning." ■Just before the last State election in this Jommonweaith, a covimunication from au nonymous source appeared in the Liberutor, ieaded How it is done3 - in which the wnter aid - 'il will astonish some of thf friends of reedom to learn. that the present action of lie Liberty party is likely to be more effectua I n extending the curse of Afncan 6]arery on hm continent thun the efforte of even slaveïolders themselves' - and iie then proceeded o sustain bis position by showing how the jiberty party voter, by refusing to vote for he Whiff candidales for Congress, (who have voted for the right of petition, guinst theannexation of Texas, 8c.) had in e veril instances ennbled the demócrata to ucceed, whose candidates would go for the )ro-lavery measures of the South. As if it were lawful to do evil thnt good may come - or consistent for professed abolitionists to vote br pro slavery whigs, becouso they nre not uite sobad ns their opponents! This hne ecn copied into almost every Whig paper in he f ree States, as an editorial article from ny pen, in order to induce obohtioiiists to vote he Whig ticket, with Henry Clay, the duclist and man-thief, at its head! Siich tricks are s dishonest s picking )ockets. The communication alluded to was nserted in the Liberator as all couimunicaions are - not with my endorsement, but on he responsibility of the writers." CC?" Rev. J. Blanchard etated lately in Cincinnati, in a lecture on Irish Repeal, from he speech of a member of Parliament: "It is 10 uncommon ecene to sec S or 4000 kborers meeling around the side of their own wretchd Chape!, while near by stands tn elegant ingl;sh-built cburch with an audience of 4 ïearere! Caslletown (Diocese of Killaloe.) In the Parish of S. there were Catholics 2.79S; not Catholics 72. Yet that Parish paid br süp'porting the religión of the 75 a tithe of above $5,000. In Kin vana were Roman Catholics 4376; not Catholica 2 persons. Yet the Parisli paid for the religión of these two persons $1700. In 1823 there were in the Irish established church, 4 Arch-bps., 13 Bps., 83 Deans, 00 dignitaries, 178 Prebends; and the present annual incoine of the wholeestablishraent for I rel and is upvards of $3,000,000 ! And his monstrous tax levied upon the whole population, where according to Mr. Cobden ihere are several millions whonever touch bread except as a luxury: levied, too, upon the whole nation for the religious benefit of lesa than one tenth of the whole people; and that too for the very persons who care the least about religión of any other tenth which cou'd be selectedflC The communication of S. Y. E. in the first page should receive attention. - [t is the first of a series of a half dozen short articles which he FöteiftÉs to furnish. The object of the writor, as we understand it, will be to show that there are a arge class of real abolitionists who cannot unite with the present mo-venaent, on account of some obstacles which he hopes to be able to point out, as a preparatory step to their removal. and to the attainraent of a greater unanimity of action among anti-slavery men. His dfesign is a good one, and we have freely accorded to him the opportunity of presenting his views to our readers. Read, therefore. andunderstand. Ilolley Monument Fund. - Friends who intend to contribute to this enterprise,are requested to forward one cent for each Liberty man to T. Foster, treasurer of this fund for the State, at the Signa] office. Town meeting will be a good place for making collections which should be forwarded previoas to the first of May next. Willis writes from N. York - "A ncw fnshion consisting of highJy polished long boots, exfending as high as the knee. and worn out side of the 'indispensables,' lias been intro duccd omong us, and seems to be quila th 'agony.' Breechcs will come ncxt, and broiu cuffed coats and other insignia of about sixty or seventy years ago." A dúel took place in this city on Wednes day evening last, between two French gentle men of this city. Weapons, pistols; dis tance, ten paces - injury, one coat tail badl lacerated.- JV. O.
